Hand in Hand (Collaboration with Cat aka catbrd)

.
      I hope you know
how much happiness
you bring into my life...
              When all hope
           seem to have failed,
                       you were there
               keeping me alive...
    I'm so grateful for what
     you have added to me...
              I couldn't have asked
                     for a better friend,
             to help open my eyes
          so I could finally see...

My days
were filled with
tearful gazes.
Eyes drifted
away
    to far off places.
But today
            the sun brought out
            the green in mine,
A promise
of a future...
                   In my heart does shine.

                 You and me
                   together...
         Hand in hand
anything is possible...
                      This is only
                             a bump
                     in the road.
                  With you
here next to me,
             nothing
       is impossible...

Together...
We could leap
into
        tomorrow's rays.
Without care,
fear
nor
concern...
We now rule
the fate
of our days.
With...
           Sceptres in hand
and
                 flames in our hearts
that burn.

Colors of Your Smile

I see it in the sound of your voice
The world beat you down
There was no choice
Still you smile......
                                       For me

I hear it in the pain in your eyes
In the silent screams
And deafening cries
Still you smile......
                                       For me

When it passes as it always does
And you're pastel happy
Just because
Still you smile......
                                       For me

Wind chime laughter's hypnotic tones
Dancing
Through the telephone
Still you smile......
                                       For me

Through every mood, emotion and sigh
You're by my side
No question why
Always you smile......
                                       *For me

CHANGE

Change
On the horizon
Pockets are empty
Black meets blue
In hues of the pain of yesterday

Change
In hand
The vending machine's empty
Six miles out of reach, out of juice,
And out of gas

Change
The television channel
Vapid Anchors are empty
Teleprompter madness
In full make up and air conditioning

Change
Her mind
Her heart is empty
Abused by the fallacy in the word love
On the lips of liars

Change
Of venue
His smile is empty
He feels the souls too deeply
There is no one here to notice the smile isn't real

Change
A life
The Child's eyes are empty
The streets are kinder
Than the junkies who sold him for a fix

Change
The world
The people are empty
Media drones brainwashed
Into apathetic zombies

That is how to stop
Change

Undercurrent of Everday

the clock chimes
but no one counts
the days move at will
forward, backward
days stand still
the ticking of seconds
lost in the minutia
of the everyday
endless mind chatter
and negative self-talk
heart in a vacuum of speculation
what if -
coulda, shoulda, woulda
WILL NOT
DO NOT
STAY IN THIS PLACE
strain to listen
can you hear it
it's there
in the undercurrent of life
lost beyond yourself
tick tock
a shadow of a sound
tick tock
time never stops
tick tock
feel the minutes turn to days
a sense of time thrown away
on nothing
it's easy
so much easier
to wonder
what if -
why me -
than to take a deep breath
and realize
the world does not revolve
around a solitary soul
and no one is ever
the reason someone makes a choice
choices are made of free will
or they aren't choices at all
good or bad
tick tock
tick tock
tick tock
can you feel it
tick tock
tick tock
tick tock
it's the minutes of life
left behind
in a cloud of never was
tick tock
the clock chimes
but no one counts
the days move at will
forward, backward
days stand still

Entwined

Glances filled with love
Hearts pour into each other
There is only us

and such is life

Chained to him
Bound to you
A promise of forever

Logic or passion
Pain will ensue
For I am not that clever

Not enough
To erase the doubt
In everything I do

Distance screams
As silence shouts
All I want is you
