Haven’t I sung you songs?
Written you into poetry steadily and freely?
Haven’t I brought you along?
And covered you in the night when you felt hearts song?
Haven’t I thought of you when you needed to go run along?
Let you travel on your own
Behind the wheel of a new priced tone?
Wasn’t it Conscientiousness’ effort when I let in?
When you yelled at your children.
And they yelled too?
Wasn’t it a mess learning to live?
But through it all we kept close and hid?
And to you.
Wasn’t it grand how we drank and listened to Disney at night?
Or how we sang karaoke
While others laughed but so what?  What blast we had!
And to you.
Didn’t we bring each other a cup of tea in our time of need?
Leaving you to rest in our nest?
And to you.
Didn’t I pick you up?
Bought, then chose.
The bar I raised.  Then let go.
Just to have you close.
And to you.
What different set of values?
What lie and conviction do you pride on?
I shouldn’t fold – it’s really nothing new..There’s been so many like you.
Appreciation is what’s needed. When all is unforgiving.
It’s the flowers you sent
It’s the call or text
It’s the I’m sorry when I was wrong.
It’s showing when push comes to shove.
And to you.
No talk no banter
No life so what matters?
And to you.
Saying to much in small words
Letting me rise
Only to flatter.
That’s life here in this God forsaken game.
No Earth to give it what its needs
No Time that helped its leaves.
Falling in a grave
Only to rise again.
Because God only provides
In these to you, will never arise.

The Ageless Fool  -
The ageless fool parts to play
Young, old, white to black.
So many fools melt away.
Summer to Winter,
Sunrise and Sunset.
Fools be known to never forget!
Foolish kisses and foolish love.
Foolish writings and foolish song.
Fool fool fool
A fool for all the world to see.
No God no Glory
What fool can never be?
High or below on foolish ground or mid-flight.
Foolish wings spring forth and give me delight!
An echo beckons off high toward walls
And so I write..
Be a fool now and then or lose its plight…

Oh passion how it loses its luster with eyes of old and hands of taint never to woo the love of past’s mistakes.
Oh how the well is dry between fiery eyes that once lit up the skies;
In the days I called you mine.
Yet, it still steams endlessly with youthful grip and fists clenched with heart.
Some let it flow like sand, never taking part….
In the right hands passion burns like no other sun!
The old becomes new under the watchful churn of breaking sweat..
Sweet as sin, those dark shadows give in and passion sweeps laying to rest the heart beneath your dying chest.

It is a choice we make
with every moment that passes
Bring the torches and axes
Its time to face the facts. And the fact is
Realistically we can't have what we want and what we need
Simultaneously
Its unnecessary
This excessive greed
Why? What intentions do we have that makes us think
That the mistakes we make won't cause us grief?

He said, "One moment of patience escapes 100 days of sorrow"
But why when tomorrow
Do I forget to borrow
That truth and bury it in my burrow?
Why am I in a constant state of letting go?

Its unbelievable and inexcusable
The pain I caused these many souls
Truth is its probably because the pain I feel
Feels like the worst of all.

They say misery loves company
And I've been keeping company
With the one who brought the grievance to me.

Time to shed the dead skin
It is time to let the new lights reign in
Cutting off these dead ends
No more pretendin'.

I was born as a leader it resides in my blood
Time to win this war in my core, to elate me up above.

Forever seems so long,
How was I to know
Your forever
would come too soon

That till death do us part
Meant the death of our love
Love suicide or ******
Over my heart it looms

In sickness and in health
Was the sickness of your heart
Split in to
Two different places

On a journey of self discoveration
Of abandoned exploration
Travelling nations
To find oneself

Search for Solitude
And complete loneliness
Where you feel lost and insane
In that moment

To save your soul
And save yourself
Something to set aflame
That makes you feel alive again
