Sky High

You can't always play in the little league,
There are bigger ones out there.
You can't always win everything,
There's harder challenges out there.

So don't be afraid to climb the ladder,
Of glory, honor and fame.
You ain't gonna get better,
Sitting around all day.

The mountain is too tall,
So let's take it once step at a time.
The risk is to fall,
So let's continue our climb.

Once you're up,
Don't look down.
The greatest of all will fall,
Sink and drown.

So goodbye to the little leagues,
And prepare to die.
Rebirth yourself once more,
And say hello to the sky high.
The best way to live is to die first. Once you have, you can do anything.
The sky high is waiting.

It,s  a  lovely  crisp  early  spring  morning.
After  a  sharp  frost.
Clear  blue  sky  has  far
as  the  eye  can  see.
Very  quiet, no  wind  at  all.
The  snow  capped  mountains
stand  proudly  on  the  horizon.
A  few  holiday  makers  arriving.
For  a  brand  new  season.

BLUE* oceans I see
Waves DANCE perpetually
Feel HER gravity

Coworkers seeking chit chat
I've a long night at that
Smiling and nodding robotically
If I leave they will hate me

The office party is on
They usually drag on till dawn
I look around for a spot
Just to hide out from the lot

Raising my head I see you
Eyes bright and blue
You look in my direction
I smile to show affection

As you move near me
My heart begins it's plea
Your fragrance precedes
A temptation indeed

Inches from me you stand
I reach out my hand
You slip your fingers in mine
Pulling me close its divine

You whisper in my ear
Why are you trembling dear?
I answer with a gentle kiss
Your smile tells me you like this

My intention is to hold you close
And dance until we overdose
My hands enjoy your curves
Another kiss to calm your nerves

Our bodies move in unison
This night has just begun
Dance with me till daybreak
These feelings I can't fake
For you xo

A whistle,
blows off the steam
heated inside the kettle.
Warmth is luscious and comforting.
The sensation that will soon puncture between your lips.
It comes to a boil,
the whistle grows greater.
Higher.
Oh that one night.
The note reaches soprano,
and continues.
Water rises to a boil.
Anger.
Only a sound that can make your ears throb.
Grasping the handle,
you pull the *** from it's key source.
Oh how you yearn to do the same.
Something this bitter,
needs a sweetener.
The warmth will exit.
Won't it need someplace to go?
Honey,
your warmth is forever welcome,
if you find yourself becoming cold on the boil.

LONDON IS DOWN THERE
IS ANOTHER HORRIFIC ATTACK
THE TERRORIST'S AND WOLVES
TRIED TO GIVE US A WHACK


BUT LONDON HAS INCREDIBLE STRENGTH
AND A PURE HEART AND SOUL
MANY INNOCENT LIVES WERE LOST
AND THE WORLD AGAIN COUNTS THE TOLL


THIS NEW TYPE OF VENGEANCE
WILL NOT BREAK OUR RESOLVE
EVEN THOUGH THEY KEEP COMING
OUR DEMOCRACY WON'T DISSOLVE


I KEEP COMPOSING ABOUT
THESE MOST HORRIFIC EVENTS
WHICH ALWAYS BREAKS MY HEART


BUT THE TERRORIST'S MUST KNOW
THAT AS A STRONG AND LOVING MANKIND
IT WON'T TARE US APART
ANOTHER ATTACK OUR HEARTS ARE WITH THE FAMILIES AND FRIENDS OF THE INNOCENT VICTIMS.
I wanted to scream
at the top of my lungs
and tell you that if you're ever
looking for me
you know where to find me
and i'll always be here
waiting
but at this point i knew
i was just yelling
with lungs filled with water
and you would never hear me
but i will always be here
waiting
