Make it, grow it, feel it
Love it, work it, do it
Say it, mean it, be it
Hold it, caress it, endure it
Question it, solve it, understand it
Nurture it, direct it, protect it
Smile for it, live for it, die for it
Cry for it, blush for it, never deny it

Most people die before 25,
40 years later we're put in a grave.

So many little tests
Presented with we contend
Understanding the risks
Of the chances we take
To take that chance
Should we prevail or fail
Some failures beat us
Down
Into the depths
And we may never be the same again
Some successes also
Make us never the same again
Because we've gotten so high off of it
We cannot see straight
I've made a lot of money before
And it has made me arrogant, ungrateful, and wasteful
I've also been broke and poor
It made me more appreciative, understanding, and productive
The middle ground that works for all of us
Is an individual thing
Prevail or Fail
Is nothing more than a perspective
Life is a game we play with no clear winners
But if you keep love in your heart
It doesn't matter how broke or rich you are
You have prevailed

This reoccurring  problem
That continues to trouble me
Is fighting my own destiny
Mostly
It is because of other's expectations
Of what they think I'm supposed to do with my life
But their perspective is not mine
Maybe what I do
Isn't going to make everyone happy
But I need to focus and search for
What will make me happy
I need to accept my destiny
And choose to be happy with it

It was so nice
Just to see how
Your hair lays
Upon your shoulders
Not a huge thing
But maybe
It is to me

You are not my muse, no
But
You
Are so much more...

I wish I could wisper in the depths,
And create an echo in your heart
You are wanted
You are loved
"Behold, you are beautiful, my love; behold, you are beautiful."
Song of Songs 4:1.

There were times
When I was young
I believed in magic
In superheroes
Santa Claus
A fine line between
Right and wrong
Summer vacation
Seemed to last forever
But never too long
Now
As an adult and a man
My idea of what magic is
Has changed entirely
Even more special now
Than through the eyes of a child
I believe in possibilities
I call it magic
When I touch someone's heart
When I see a baby smile
An old couple holding hands
My son hugging me
Magic exists
It is everything that is beautiful in the world

Yours was the sweetest touch
I broken upon your grace
Never had I ever seen such beauty
As my eyes lain upon the sweetness of your face
You got me exactly where I was weak
So open to me
You shared your pain and secrets
I saw you for what you were
And I wanted more
I gave you myself
No holds barred
You kept lightly touching me
When we first met
Sending vibrations through my all
I kept telling myself
It was an accident
Even though your intentions were obvious
Our first kiss
Made me forget all others before
I remember it every time I think of you
Yours was the sweetest touch
You got me where I was weak
Unlike any other
I fully submit to you
Your touch broke down my walls
You stole my heart in the middle of the night
Feeling your lips touch mine
That first time
The memory still causes me to pause
And I still catch myself holding my breath
Lost in that moment
Yours was the sweetest touch
You got me where I was weak
