What does it really mean to be free?
What does that word mean to me?
Always at a price not always a cash fee
Freedom
Man the things we'd do to be free.....
Her from he
Myself from me
A price similar to that we pay to get oxygen from a tree

Joy

Joy
You bring me joy
Like a little boy
With a new christmas toy

You are intelligent and not average
Kind but can be a savage
And took me with all my baggage

Gorgeous girl
You're smile beautiful like a pearl
I'd take you dancing so we can twirl

You are:................ ;
Not short like a fuse
Pretty like a muse
Funny and never fail to amuse
So tell me why I feel like I don't deserve you even though I don't abuse

I watch on as your delicate temple is filled with the blood red wine

I think it's you paying tribute for the friends and family you've lost
Even if you put on a strong exterior your heart is not cold
It gets better in time, or so I've been told

I simply watch as you prance around the walls of your house
Your eyes bloodshot and dialated to match the size of a mouse

The load music you play
To ease your mood like water to clay
Like gentle waves of the ocean at the bay
I stay
And watch as you dance
Because I'm trying to understand...

No I'm not
I'm simply sitting here because it somewhat consoles me to know that my pain
Is felt by others
By mothers
And brothers
Brought to ease by the heavenly father
Not the pastor
Not the man that takes offering to fuel his new benz
Not the man that sells his prayers to the highest bidder
Not that man that's bitter

I simply sit and watch
The seconds go down on my wrist watch

I have simply watched
Not touched
Nor rushed
But crushed
The lust
And built the love
Your hove
My dove
