Liz And Lilacs
He fell in love,
With the idea of her.
But he realized too late
that ideas aren't people
and they never do
what you expect.
People aren't things to dream about.
People are imperfect beings
And they don't fit into
Your misunderstood notions.
Foolish ideas, foolish emotions,
Now he's her fool,
Juggling his own life
For her entertainment.

I'm not a bad person
I'm just confused
Tied and sad from being abused

I wasn't beaten, starved or locked up
But what I went through has surely been enough

I am trying to climb out above the rubble
I trip and fall and sometimes stumble

Please bear with me while I put my life back together again
I truly need the love of a friend

Time for the party
Every piece is in place
I can sit and relax
No reason to race

I wait for my guests to arrive
Wondering who will be first
I sit in my recliner
Thinking the worse

No one was coming
The house has been empty for a very long time
I’m stuck here in another dimension, nothing is fine

I must be dead
Do they see my ghost?
Can I use another body for a host?

Why am I still here?
There are cobwebs abound
No other spirits
Have come around

What happened to me?
What made me die?
I don’t remember
But I want to cry

It must have been bad
For my soul not to rest
I’ll be waiting a long time
For that first guest

I will keep setting my loved ones free
Not expecting them to come back to me
"If you love someone, set them free. If they come back they’re yours; if they don’t they never were." Unknown

If I'd known the Journey
Would have been this long.
I never would have started
For I'm not that strong

You put mountains before me
Around every single turn,
I've crawled till I was weary
And every muscle burned

I walked with feet bloodied
On a path never true,
Never knowing which the way
To bring me back to you

I walked in rain so blinding
The sun never shone
Darkness my companion
Never felt so alone

Finally dawned the day
The horizen in sight,
After years of struggle
I could lay down the fight

The road was never meant to be
A way back to your heart,
I was meant to be alone
Right from the very start

Now I lay down this life
Strength finally found.
Enough to dig this grave for me
In Gods' forsaken ground
God Have Mercy On My Soul

Some say I’m crazy
Some say I’m brave
I don’t disagree
I’m just so glad I’ve been saved

My life was a blur
Days rolled into weeks
I had no idea where I was
More valleys than peaks

I began my journey blindly
I could not see
I had no idea
What would happen to me

Today I am happy
That’s all I can say
Thanks to my God
He showed me the way

I want to feel passion
For love, life, career
Sometimes it seems impossible
But obtainable, so I hear

To do something I love
Is a dream of mine
I don't think in this pursuit, I'm one of a kind

When the passion is gone
For anything in life
It's hard to get up
When your heart's full of strife

I'll continue my journey
With hope in my heart
Looking for passion
I know it can't be far

I sat beside you.
Silently, as I'm so very tired.
You reached out for me.
You grabbed my hand.
****** my fingers,
Made them wet.
Babies always shove everything in their mouths.
I'm sure you know what they're like,

She sat in the waiting room
Scared as can be
She felt like a little girl
Even though she was thirty-three

Does she want to do this?
Does she really have a choice?
Then she heard this little voice

“Yes you have a choice”, said the voice in her head
But isn’t it too late now, once it’s over, the baby is dead

She ran from room, dark and dingy was the place
She ran and ran at a very fast pace

She couldn’t get away fast enough
She decided to have the baby
No matter how tough

If only
To live in that zone
Yet patterns shift
From hemisphere to hemisphere
Abstractions reside
In the passing of minds
Like manna from heaven
Perhaps
Gather best in the morn

From Artist to con-artist
Manipulation of words depend
On the placement of the wave
In our creative brain

In conclusion
We all return
Sooner or later

I sit in my home office
Wondering what is this all about
Why am I here
Why all this doubt?

I want to feel the world at my feet
I want to dance to a different beat

This corporate crap is getting old
I don’t even believe it, I’m no longer sold

I want to run to a place
Where peace is abound
Where serenity wraps like a warm blanket
Only beautiful soothing sounds

I can’t find it here
Sitting at this desk
Am I willing to just run, take that risk?

I have to do something
Before I lose my soul
I need to set a lasting goal

It isn’t here at this desk of mine
I need to find peace of mind

Forever serene
