‪A guardian angel looking down‬
‪To see who she might smite‬
‪The evil that’s lurks about‬
‪From anger, fear, and spite‬
‪Not today, as eyes gaze on‬
‪From the heavens up above‬
‪Only happiness among the flock‬
‪And within us, only love‬

You disarmed me with your smile
I was smitten beyond repair
I tried not to look you straight in the eyes
However, I could only stare
You seduced me with your movements
That happens very rare
Your curves stood out before me
Hidden behind your long brown hair
Your voice was like an angels
It was music to my ears
I wanted to hold you in my arms
And take away your fears
But you belonged to someone else
It ripped my heart straight out my chest
I thought things with you could be different
Different from all the rest
I was so crazy to think so
With a beauty such as yours
With a smile that could mend my broken heart
Who could ask for more
And so, I set forth to win you over
Steal you away from him
I’d impress you with my boyish charm
Even though I knew my odds were slim
I could see my plan was working
As you adorned me with your eyes
With the pitter patter of your lashes
You were destined to be my wife
Until this very day, I cherish you even more
For you are the love of my life
The one I so adore

She puts her victims under a spell
And walks amongst the dead from hell
It’s from there the demons are dispersed
Behind her eyes the darkness lurks
Despite her look of innocence
And dressed up in her Sunday best
Lies and evil looming amongst all of us
Bloodthirsty and carnivorous
With her fangs and pointy teeth
She stalks her prey before she eats
Her quest for flesh, her quest for blood
Allows evil to triumph over good
Can demons be misunderstood
Does nature act the way it should
Or does the devil concur over all and thrive
On the unknown dead that remain alive
Empathy is a care they lack
No protocol, no way to act
Just the smell of fear, while under attack
And the last breathe before it all goes black

The stars above glisten
Like sparkling dust
Existing on the edges
Of the external cusp
At the brink of the heavens
They burst onto the scene
To light up the night
And fulfill all our dreams
Imagination run wild
Amidst the stampedes
As we gaze up in wonder
And wish for Godspeed

I was controlled under duress
Naughty none the less
Devilish and scandalous
While pounding on my chest
I am lion, hear me roar
Hush now baby, say no more
No tears shed forever more
It’s just a simple metaphor

In darkness
I see the light
Although dim
And not too bright
That’s where all
The secrets lie
In the mind
Behind closed eyes
That’s where all
The dreamers dream
With opened eyes
They shine agleam
Withstanding shadows
Seldom seen
And where broken hearts
Can get redeemed

The world is small
Like a small ball
In universal sense
A speck of lint
In the scheme of things
As much as matter’s dense
The world as we know it now
Is still in our hands
We only need to carry out
A set of thought out plans

Release me from my shackles
Where I’ve been vilified and scorned
Unlock all the cages
Open all the doors
Allow me to embark on quests
Places I’ve never seen before
To broaden my horizons
And walk along the shores

No one questioned he was stalwart
Reliable and crass
He would always meet you promptly
Exactly at half past
But then he’d turn the other cheek
And walk off in a huff
But you weren’t having any of it
And always called his bluff

Ball of fire sent into the atmosphere
You can feel it radiate from afar
Whether you are far or near
The ball of flame shines brighter than a star
A vision; too hard to ignore
The heat singeing every hair inside your pours
Burning everything you value, to its very core
But leaving you transfixed and wanting more

Be it love at heartbreaks door
Crippling pain or even score

Void of laughter, insecure
The aching heart that goes ignored

Empty feelings, unrestored
A warm embrace, and it’s allure  

No one wins when loves a chore
Yet that is still what we long for

I have a little secret
I want it to be heard
I can’t bear to keep it to myself
I hope my words don’t come out slurred
It’s been a long time coming
I’m focused and undeterred
We need to grasp on to our time on earth
When life is a four letter word
Time is ever fleeting
Life is way too short
I can always lean on laughter
As my last resort
Because we all have value
Each one of us has worth
It’s experiences and memories
As we know that life is a four letter word
Life’s filled with disappointment
Obstacles and stress
It’s overcoming that can be challenging
Being put to the test
So gather those around you
Spreading love can be transferred
There’s no need for negativity
When life is a four letter word

Based on a true story
A fundamental theme
Of self and of ones sanity
And a spirit that’s redeemed
Down from the high heavens
To where myself and the earth meet
Is empty space and clarity
With humble words to speak

Deep within the childs eyes
Forms the tears the child cries
Hidden in the deepest woods
That acts as safety in disguise
The pain seen, goes unrealized
The victim in a senseless crime
That leaves the child traumatized
Worse for wear and desensitized

Scars of the heart dig deep into my soul
Forgiveness is my failure
As I clear a space to grow
I wish you only happiness
Wrapped in maroon velvet bows
To see you getting on with life
Is a gift you shared and chose

Like a dogs macrosmatic sense
I’m keen to your needs
I gravitate to you like a magnetic field
To wherever it leads
****** into your pull
Now that my heart is full
And caught up in your web
of fascination

‪In a dream state‬
‪A feeling so divine‬
‪I hush to here the silence ‬
‪In my ever noisy mind ‬

‪And there I found it‬
‪An oasis from the crowd‬
‪A look into my embodiment ‬
‪Much stranger than it sounds‬

‪And just like an illusion‬
‪I was taken by the light‬
‪That gave me strength and courage ‬
‪On this given night‬

If your beauty is my salvation
Then I’ve died in peace
On the shores of the vast ocean
To the highest mountains peak
No substandard erosion
Could crumble my inner thoughts
For you are my rock, my everything
My ever beating heart

Lavender

Purple fields of lavender
Pollinating honey bees
Moved by subtle gusts of wind and a passing breeze
With gentle sounds, and swaying trees
Springtime’s presence upon us, feeling quite at ease
At its essence, pure and sweet
Consistent as a latent heat
Like Mother Nature’s own heart beat
Is where someday I’d like to meet

The red of your lips
The feeling of bliss
Is my only wish
For our love to exist
Love is not purple, or yellow, or gold
Love radiates red, brilliant and bold
Just like my heart, or the red of a rose
For red is the color of love, I suppose
All the red shades, all of the hues
Can wisk away, all of my blues
And this is my wish, for me and for you
Together in red, however we choose

Her eyes pierced right through my body
I was shaken to the bone
Like emerald jewels they sparkled
That it felt like I was home
Her skin was soft like pillows
Her hair so bright it glowed
As did the aura that surrounded her
My fingers free to roam
Her body dangled with grace and beauty
That I had to grab on hold
Like a sweet and supple flower
It sent me to a place unknown
There she bloomed before my eyes
Like a sentimental poem
And with a whisper she exposed herself
And let out a gentle moan
I was mesmerized by her curvature
That I thought I would explode
And a smile ran across my face
When it was clear she was my own

Along the road to the unknown
Under cloudless skies
Free to venture on alone
Without question or disguise
Strangers come and strangers go
Come day or come night
In our hearts we’re still guided home
When the moment feels just right

I rode along the countryside‬
‪Traveling with a friend ‬
‪Biking on an old dirt road‬
‪Slowing down as we ascend ‬

‪The mist is heavy in the air‬
‪There seems to be a trend ‬
‪As the morning dew surrounds us‬
‪So do the clouds above our head‬

‪Without a destination ‬
‪And a small amount of bread‬
‪We look forward to see the next town‬
‪If nothing else than to be fed‬

‪The beauty of the lush tall grass‬
‪I’d surely recommend ‬
‪The trees scattered everywhere about‬
‪Never touched by human hand‬

It gave us a sense of freedom
That many fought hard to defend
So we shared a moment of silence
For the protectors of the land

What we call sea
Is where oceans home

To many species
Some unknown

Though pollution may
Be too real

The ocean still
Has its appeal

In all its splendor
Though not crystal clear

The ocean holds
What’s near and dear

To the heart
To the soul

To the breaking waves
Topped with foam

Fairy tales and stories wrote
Of pirates who had famous quotes

Sharks, and whales, fish, and boats
Things that sink, and things afloat

And although we’re not alone
It’s not far fetched
To call ocean home

‪As a sparkle is to flame‬
‪Gleam is to a star‬
‪Mother shouting out your name‬
‪Don’t wander off too far‬
‪In our hands a beacon‬
‪A guiding speck of light‬
‪To counteract all that is wrong‬
‪And somehow make it right‬
Remembering old forgotten sounds
In the middle of the night
Does not change through the course of time
No matter how contrite

You lift me up
Even higher
Higher than I’ve ever been before
You fill me up
With desire
Your body
I want to explore
You lift me up
You give me hope
You’re the embodiment
Of at peace
You lift me up
To new elevations
Higher than I ever thought I’d reach

Summertime and flowers bloom
Morning sun and sparkling dew
That glistens till the afternoon
As the sun lights up the dim lit room
Trickling down the blades of grass
Mirror image sharp as glass
That sees the future and the past
But cannot advance or surpass
Like tears of joy the dew doth dry
Not unlike the ones in weeping eyes
A new day dawns, the coast is clear
No more drama, no more tears

It came to my attention
There’s a nation run by elves
Where they all have pointy ears
And wear big hats with bells
Once every year, come rain or shine
They sing, and laugh, and cheer
While presents fill up all the homes
And the sadness disappears

Running ******* concrete slabs
To tighten up both thighs and calves
A journey or a distant trek
Demands our courage and respect
For many cannot finish strong
The path too grueling or too long
But for those who make the grade
Triumphant rights become attained

Nighttime is drawing near
Filled with wonder
Fueled by fear
Dark in nature
Black as ink
Followed paths
Each foot in sync
To find my way
To reach the brink
Second guessing
Makes one think
Found; discovered
The path, the way
Approaching exit
Close escape

‪Day rays and sunbeams‬
‪Passing through the sky‬
‪One must stand in wonder‬
‪And ask the question “why?”‬
‪The light creeps past the shadows‬
‪In psychedelic waves‬
‪A medley of fantasies‬
‪From that in which it came
‪No darkness is acceptable ‬
‪Conceding loss of light‬
‪Until Mother Nature casts her spell
‪Into the perils of the night‬

At the beach
Within reach
I can feel the suns rays
Waters edge
I’m content
Splashing around in the waves
Getting tan
Feet in sand
On one of the nicest of days
Summers here
It appears
Scorching heat, temperature is
raised
Bathing suit
Point is moot
That’s just the way it is

Reflecting from within me
The man to which I’ve grown
From that child without courage
That I rejected and disowned
Now I stand before you
Strong, and fierce, and free
Like a lion in the jungle
The undisputed king
Not the gazelle that’s always frightened
Running; catching speed
There’s no room for reservations
There’s no purpose or a need
Only a calming self awareness
That I’ve now reached my peak
A strong and healthy lion
Feasting on the weak

In a spooky kind of way
The skies had all turned gray
And the moon was pale and cold to start the winter
In the full moons lazy eye
I could see the witches fly
While screeching laughter heard throughout the night
A stirring chill that reeked of death and fright
And although they tried and failed
  I can still tell the scary tale
To protect you and make sure that you’re alright

The gentle stars
Glisten in the nighttime sky
As millions and millions of years go by
They dangle motionless
To the naked eye
Forming stories to be told to generations
The meddling moon
Stirs the ***
The shadows, they loom large
Covering up the planet earth
Attempting to barrage
Our inner thoughts
Our inner peace
They’re the ones I like the
least
Hoping some day to scream out “release!”
To the setting sun
As the crashing tide comes in
I know not where to begin
Counting down the stars

Hunting bound
Along the ground
Over rough terrain
Searching for today’s prey
Then back from where they came
Shoot to ****
For the thrill
Then harvest the remains
A get away
A small escape
From the every day

Ventured out into the great beyond
Searching for some clues
Found emptiness and all that’s wrong
With staying home to sing the blues
Explore the universe in parts
You’ve got nothing to lose
For when you return
You’ll find your voice
And sing a different tune

There’s no need to hide
Behind a truths disguise
When all you hear
Are insignificant, petty lies
Just the notion to tantalize
Your intuitions vision
And with respect
To visualize
Your true life’s ambition
Is not a feeling
Or decision
Only ones life‘s mission
