Clinging tight Can't let go Please release me From this indignified tripe I can't seem to let slip My grip On this barrage of desire I need a lover But disdain love So I need release I need peace Of mind If you would be so kind And stop being The apple of my eye Please let me unwind This tangled mess of my mind I could let you go And find some other girl But god forbid she be a *** So please could you bestow The honor of being your beau And just forgo The pleasantries Please just Set my heart aglow

Stuck in Your Grip
I want you All the little things That make you perfect All the things that don't Every morning I want to see That heartwarming smile Every day I want to hear Your cute little giggle Every night I want to feel Your smooth curves I want you And your daddy issues I want your fears Of the dark Of spiders Of abandonment I want your Big heart I want your Naive humor I want your Good nature I want you And all the little things That make you perfect All the little things That make you imperfect I want the beauty And the beast All the flaws All the mood swings I won't withdraw No one night flings

I Want You
I feel the familiar weight Of a familiar depression Before, My response Was violence To myself And with a knife I carved the peace And tranquility Out of my veins The answers to my misery Flowed crimson Down my arms But the blood runs dry And the knife Is dull So now what will I do?

Response
Life bears down Grabs you by the horns Takes you head on It never surrenders And never relents All life ever does Is push you And so builds The pressure Powerful Insurmountable You seek only release But wait Aren't you master Of these affairs? Didn't you drive These needs out? After all Your release is obvious Aren't there tally marks Of the flesh To mark Every time you gave in Until finally the desire Nay even need Becomes unbearable Crimson shall be yours For the low low price Of weakness And so finally At the end of the week Your tally Comes out high again

Sweet Release
Cage these feelings Round them up Chain them down Don't let them escape Hear them cry out My desires Are my own Although I turn A blind eye To the misdeeds Of my heart I know better Than to let the feelings out To express my feelings Would jeopardize All we've got Such great bonds So strong now But can they withstand The fire of desire

Conflict
These thoughts Inside my head What are they? Here with me Laying in bed They go to places I feel I shouldn't follow Confusing and dark Such betrayals I should not allow My brain knows Where the line is drawn It's off limits But boundaries My heart has forgone Without regard My heart ponders Just a friend? Oh here she comes! My heart flutters And my thoughts wander

Boundaries of the Heart
On the sweet wind Of a lovely spring day The kite dances on the wind Up it flies Like my spirit In the wind The kite silhouettes Against the sun The light glistening Off the thin plastic Of his flimsy wings But together The kites Dance and dance In the spring day sun Shining down So comforting With my fiends You can't tell Which is cozier The sun... Or their love

Spring Day Kites
Porcelain moonlight Through these winter clouds Silver light shining Through wispy doubts The moon casting Tones of sobriety Clearing my head Of intoxicating Melancholy attitude Here I am In the silver light Casting a silhouette Over the carefree purity With doubts and anxiety And so I bathe In this silver Shower of light Pure and undefiled

Porcelain Moon
Once proud Sullen trees How sadly hang Their sullen leaves Long lived This mighty oak But soon it is To finally croak Memories sweet Memories stale If only it could Share it's tale Hark! How it would sing And how it should weep A life well lived His wisdom deep Lonely now But not before Companions plenty Alas, no more One by one Birds took flight All flying south To warmer light And so left The cheery children But so remained The loyal Falcon For him Life was dear And for this tree He did care Oaken memories Days of joy His best friend Was but a boy This boy was young He couldn't pretend Doomed he was To outlive his friend All he wanted Until the End Was to be there Through thick and thin His last winter Has arrived Death of a tree It made us cry On this night The sun set right The spirits ready To perform the rite Deep chanting Whispering wind The tree was ready No sin left to rescind Shining brightly The silver moon And with the tree It did commune Softly singing In charming harmony Playing proudly His past so truthfully Colors faded Leaves fallen The trees final day Has come and gone

Death of an Oak
3 things a man creates happiness a profit beauty every day we choose to create every day we sacrifice one for another profit for happiness happiness for beauty beauty for profit it is a strange and difficult task to balance the three but to be a man demands balance to sacrifice balance to sloth and greed is the greatest crime a man can commit upon himself so every day we choose
