Not all angels fall from skies above, Some arrive quietly, disguised as love. No wings in sight, no halo shown, Just a steady warmth I’ve never known. She doesn’t save me with grand display, She saves me in the smallest ways. In gentle smiles, in hands held tight, In calming storms I used to fight. Her laughter heals what words can’t reach, A silent vow in all she teaches. She sees the cracks I tried to hide, Yet stands unwavering by my side. If heaven listens when we pray, Then heaven sent her my way. Not to leave, not to ascend, But to walk with me until the end.

Angels 2
There you are, right here the entire time How foolish of me to not realize your mine My hope, my dreams, my life divided Always right here in my heart, resided Stealing the hurt, stealing the pain, Too blind of me to realize the gain…

Whats to Gain?...
"True love lies within the fringes of insanity and bliss" Yeah, I wrote that, while I was thinking of your kiss So sweet, so succulent, forever mine For all of eternity, all in good time It’s said, absence makes the heart grow fonder Before I see you, I whine and ponder Torn am I, the mystery of your face We're the perfect combination of leather and lace Like a blank canvas, white with no paint At first glance, knees buckle, and I faint Speechless, I can produce no sound Just in awe, in you I finally found But in all reality, this is just a dream Fantasy land, or so it would seem Wishful thinking, the evidence doesn’t exist But eye’s closed, your voice persists Haunting and taunting every deep thought All the past battles I so carelessly fought The broken road that will one day lead to you Has left me jaded, so faded, and cautious too These feelings in songs I’ve committed to write In hopes that one day you’ll read my plight Give me a chance, to start a new life In hopes that one day, I’ll make you my wife Become my best friend, my partner in crime Help me write songs, with a new sense of rhyme Paint the blank canvas, with vibrant colors of our heart Through lessons of the forgotten, we'll make a new work of art Through dreams rekindled from the depths within The start of a masterpiece, we’ll soon begin So read, re-read, and then read them again Understand who I am, my heart, my sin

All In Good Time
Do you really know what its like to feel your heart pleading? God forbid you know what it’s like to feel it bleeding These memories of better times, the gentle touch of your kiss… Our conversations of love and life, Our friendship, bittersweet, I miss… So many things still left for you to hear Sealed away in the base of a single tear Tear’s filled with a 1,000 dreams Meaningless to you, gone… they seem Watching them shatter as they keep hitting the floor All the hopes and wishes, forever, no more Yeah, I try not dwell But sometimes it’s hard not to feel it swell My mind races, and I feel like I’m in hell My Stomach aches, No, I don’t feel very well And yet, while I fight this constant endless battle You pride this... silent... fake.... "happiness" saddle No, don’t you look up, not even once Not even for a second, cause I’m just a dunce A fool, a clown, pointy hat and frown Seems like everyone is laughing, the whole **** town No sense of mercy, will I struggle, tread, and drown It feels as though I’m already 6 feet under the ground Was it wrong to love you? Is it wrong to hate you too? Was it right to let you go? Something I’ll never know So I fight… I fight… And I fight once more… I fight these feelings while you keep slamming the door I fight this pain that keeps reaching to my core I fight this... this... hatred... these thoughts, **** YOU! ***** And I try to fill this crater in my heart with him you quietly, and selfishly bore All I really want from you is to forgive and forget Peace, in the words “I’m sorry” with out any regret Peace in “I’m happy for you” and “you have my best wishes” Peace in knowing you cleaned all those ***** ****** up dishes Maybe then I’ll be able to shave off these warts and moles Stop concerning myself with the hatred and start focusing on new goals Find someone new, who will appreciate everything I have to give Find someone whom the rest of my life, unlike with you, I can happily live So consider this my white flag, girl, I give up, you win Cause if trying wasn't enough, what ever would have been?

The smell of your perfume still lingers on my chest Taunting and tormenting my every deep breath Bittersweet, it saturates my marrow The love lost in the endless waves of pain and sorrow, Everything I thought true love should and could have been, Has been swept away, in what seems like a 100 mile an hour wind Into the relentless currents, and depths of blue sea Would nothing have stopped it dear? Not even one knee? "To suppress this pain i'm feeling I Try to tell myself, Believing isn’t seeing It's just a part of one’s self being, They say true love is never fleeing But baby, for you, my heart is pleading" Staring out into the vast emptiness laid out before me Searching for a reflection, or glimpse of what use to be Your picture with him, crushing my soul, my fee Woman, If only the pain in my heart you could see I promise you, I’m the first one to tell you “I Love You” You’re the only one whom I grew wings, jumped, and flew Though I know I’m not fortunate enough to be your last I know with him you don’t have our memories or past. "To suppress this pain i'm feeling I Try to tell myself, Believing isn’t seeing It's just a part of one’s self being, They say true love is never fleeing But baby, for you, my heart is bleeding" More than just a dream, or the fanciest of feeling It was my true self, your love was revealing A man I either forgot or never knew existed A man you would have known, if only you would’ve persisted But just when I needed you the most You faded away, your touch… a ghost Leaving me standing here, cold, alone Wondering, Can you still smell the bitter-sweetness of my cologne? "To suppress this pain i'm feeling I Try to tell myself, Believing isn’t seeing It's just a part of one’s self being, They say true love is never fleeing But baby, for you, my heart is healing"

I Try to Tell Myself

Making love with you…. Primitive, passionate, incredible Hot, sweaty, messy, vulnerable Flesh against flesh, Souls begin to mesh... Our heart’s in sync Just me and you tonight, Trust me Relax, no need to see Close your eye's,   And come away with me Just breathe... Slip away into the night Our existence, out of sight Let the world disappear, In a glimpse of heaven, Our souls re-appear Time stands still, Against the evil worlds will You, my love potion Feel it in our motion Make tonight last forever, Your lips, the grace of a feather Feeling our rhythm, Feeling our grind I am yours and you are mine Just breathe…. Putting Karma Sutra to shame, By letting instinct play the game, Keep ur eye's closed Now can u see? Every inch of you, caresses me… Ur texture, Like satin on my bare skin Tonight, make forever begin Hurt me, feel the passion... Gently kissing the side of your neck I nibble, caress and peck My back, your nails, a must Throwing out doubts and questions of lust Moan, moan, moan, It's not our bodies, But our hearts we each own Just Breathe... Heart can’t take it, Breathing becomes a fit Overflowing with love, Wrapped tight around me, a glove guiltless, overwhelming, pleasure Feelings so intense, no words can measure Create new life, we become one Forever, has only just begun Holding each other, Exhausted, I whisper "I love you" Both of our hearts pounding I love you too... Forever, Just Breathe….

Just Breathe...
I think I’ve murdered you twice Blamed you for all the wrong throughout my life I’ve screamed at you Heck, I’ve chucked a few things too I’ve even spoke harshly behind ur back Yet no matter what, ur presence never lacks You’ve helped me through a lot bad lifted me up when I’ve felt all but sad You make me humble when times are good And give me grace when I feel misunderstood. For no one knows me as well as you And now it’s time to pay my due My destiny is now laid out before me Your peace, your love, your kingdom, my goal Help me to become who you want me to be Heal my heart, and comfort my soul So Heavenly father, please have mercy on my sins Fill me with your spirit and make my heart whole One life dies, with you, I'm ready, another begins...

Sitting here alone, memories of our past keep coming to my mind Good times, fun times, all of which, to my heart were so kind Memories, so hard to replace, let alone come to find Just knowing you existed always had my heart in a bind Do you remember when I would call you late at night? Your mom would pick up, I would be worried… but in the end was alright? And even if it wasn’t we’d talk anyway, sometimes out of smite. “Hang on for just one second let me turn out my light” Even in the innocence of youth, for some reason it just felt so right Sometimes we would talk for hours, most, till nights end Sometimes just to hear each others voices, or our shoulders we would lend It was almost like we’ve always known each other, a long lost childhood friend Often hard to say goodnight, hearing your voice was something I didn't want to end All the while my heart secretly wishing, the rest of my life with you I could spend. For your beauty is comparable to the deepest, darkest, of blood red roses, Your faith parallel to that of the holiest of kings and Moses’ Your spirit, could have been Mozart’s best symphony, yet to compose But even with the hours spent writing this, my true feelings for you, no words or poems disclose Just know, the most influential of love poets in history, their spirit, this poem encloses More times than I can remember, intermittently, we would talk in your driveway From what was going on in our lives, to the crazy things we did that day Mostly the broken hearts obtained from others, the depth of your eyes, always my runaway. And through the advice you’d give on faith and hope, as well as the inspirational things you’d say You found the key to unlock my heart, a door, the ultimate unknown secret passageway But when it truly mattered most, I was afraid to tell you exactly how I felt Unparalleled and unworthy of you, no other choice, and to my knees I knelt As much as it hurt, I knew, being "friends" was just something I was dealt Seeing you love and happy with others, all of which to my soul was a belt However, your smile alone (even if it wasn’t from me) always had a way of making my heart melt So before you turn your back, and head out towards the sunset Leaving me only memories locked forever in the un-detailed, cold, darkness of your silhouette Know that out of everything that ever came between us, there is only one thing I regret... Not telling you all of this sooner, maybe then, Me… you wouldn’t forget.

Holy **** She spoke to me It's because of this I can finally breathe A past full of pain but so much love It was hard to let go, but finally gave hate a shove What are we to do now? This is the reason I'm in wow.... She use to hate me, barely even look at thee But now it seems the pain is gone So much, in my head, is going on What am i to do? This is the reason I'm asking you.... Should i tell her how i feel? Or should i just work on keeping it real? Wait for her to call again? It was this, why it all began... I don't wanna ruin it I can't deal with this **** what to do now? This is the reason I'm asking how....

This is the reason...
Will this horrible pain ever go away? Was I right to let her go? Or should I have fought harder to get her to stay? Why is love so bold So beautiful, so strong Yet when it feels like my heart is finally sold It ends up feeling so empty and wrong Given to a person who doesn't seem to care. But when it counts, I'm left here always wondering where... Where to go from here, While I cry and shed my endless  tears Tears of hope, tears of  sadness... Tears of gladness and tears of madness Am I loosing my mind? Maybe I'm going crazy? Why is it I'm so loving and kind? Why is the love I receive always so hazy? I know that she loved me, It truly felt as though she set my soul free But now that she's gone, and left my side These feelings and emotions I no longer can hide. This bitterness I never knew she had Her true colors, so hurtful, so sad In some ways I guess I'm kinda glad? So today, I finally blow the horn No longer her smile, my soul she will adorn I guess that's why they say; "every rose has it's thorn"
