Tired
Falling down
Been beaten
To the ground
Stood back up
Time and again
Wondering
Will this ever end
Can't stop now
I've made it this far
Fell on the moon
Reaching for stars
I won't give up
I'll never quit
Crossing the finish line
Just takes some grit
Fight
Fight
Never give in
Loss comes to all
Of those who don't win
Strive
Strive to be your best
Because after all
This is only a test
The second you give up
The second you quit
Makes failure the label
Most likely to stick
Move on
On to the new
Set out and conquer
For the forgotten few
Those who could not muster
The pain of defeat
Remember.....
You'll never stay down
Once you land on your feet

I gotta wake up in five hours
Is it worth it going to sleep
I got a deadline in the morning that I'm trying hard to meet
I'm racking my brain
Going insane
As the clock is tick tick ticking
With only myself to blame

I need to recharge my batteries
Argue my own heresy
Trust in those who trust in me
Avoiding that which I disagree
And to my seniors, the old and wise
That see no reason to compromise
I take the stage and stand up tall
As a self proclaimed know-it-all.

Will you know my name, in the years to come
I set the world aflame, just me, the only one
My inner voice is screaming
With the beating of the drums

No, i'm not conceding
I will continue breathing
It's pointless to go carrying on
When it hasn't any meaning

Speculate and gravitate
Towards the vibrant light
Stare into my crystal ball
A vision of your plight

Plummet to your deepest fear
And let go of the reins
Cast your thoughts out into space
Disregard the pain

What to see with a trained eye
Louder than a falcons cry
Must always do and never try
Stop waiting for Mother Earth's reply

Until that day, just move along
Mumbling some forgotten song
Men in power, weak and strong
Must it be, that we belong

I pray someday you'll know my name
I'm someone different, not the same
As is everyone proud and shamed
We mustn't dwell on who's to blame

Make our mark, leave a stain
To wash, and wash, yet still remain
Thoughts percolating in my brain
There's really nothing more to say

No promises, No guarantees
For our water or the air we breathe
Our planet is in danger
We must embrace our plight
There isn’t too much time to waste
We must stand as one and fight
Battle for survival
Be vigilant and smart
We must think of this as not the end
But as a brand new start

We’re fighting off the elements
We’re fighting amongst ourselves
We need to be more constructive
Then sending wishes down a well

We need to be proactive
The time for talk is gone
No more turning a blind eye to
What we’ve known all along
Our planet is quickly dying
Through our transgressions and contempt
What was your own involvement?
In why Mother Nature wept?

I am not exclusive
I too have played a role
Using up our resources
Has racked up a hefty toll

So how do we replenish?
How do we make whole?
How do we right the ship,
That’s gone far beyond our control?

It’s gotten too late to compromise
The way we live is no surprise
Headed to our inevitable demise
Despite our protests and our heartfelt cries

Welcome to all the newborns
To a home that’s bitter sweet
We betrothed you with the mess we’ve made
It’s your turn to clean and sweep

What will be of our home, in the centuries to come?
Will evolution take it’s course
Under moon, the stars, and sun
Is it useless to prolong the inevitable?
To take a stand and fight?
Or are we destined just to vanquish?
Fade to black or white?

In the history of our existence
That we’ve revolved around a sun
In the grand scale of the universe
We are only but a crumb

So what difference does it truly make?
Insignificant to the core
All things one day will come to pass
Whether it be peace, or love, or war

Why even make an effort?
My will has come and gone
Even at its very worst
Nothing lasts for long

This will be our legacy
For as long as we go on
Let there be no discrepancies
In our fairytales and songs

A chain reaction of widespread disease
Will bring us to our weakened knees
Or could it be our air supply
By knocking down the trees we breathe?

No matter what the future holds
We now know what’s to unfold
It’s only a matter of time
Before history decides
The stories still left to be told.

I can be mean, I can be nice.
Not all at once, not more than twice.
No need to scream, just words of advice.
This isn’t a dream, just a means to entice.
I’m not a machine, or handheld device.
This isn’t ice cream, or a bowl filled with rice.
Lets make a scene, let’s roll the dice.
Not as bad as it seems
When you play your cards right.

Let us be the poem
Let us form a pact
Here today gone tomorrow
With our relationship intact

Let us be the poem
Let us kiss when lips are chapped
Let us fight side-by-side
When jealousy attacks

Let us be the poem
That we’ll know just how to act
When times get rough
When times get tough
Let our love stay
matter fact

Let us be the poem
Let us get attached
From end to end
From ear to ear
The surface never scratched

Let us be the poem
Our love forever matched
In my arms
Together held
Embraced; never detached

I drank the moon
Off its tilted tip
Puckered up
And took a nip
Warm and frothy
When it touched my lips
Like mothers milk
Well worth the trip
Down my throat;
A liquid drip
Guzzled; instead
Of just one sip
Drank the moon
Then came to grips
Liquid moon
At my fingertips

Lost in your smile
Lost in your smile
I want to get lost in your smile
Have that feeling I haven't felt in a while
See the twinkle that gleams in your eyes
Like the stars way up in the sky

Feel your hair tickle the nose on my face
As I hold you close; clenched, embraced
I want to whisper sweet lies in your ear
How we'll run off and just disappear

Hold your hands, together in mine
Forever, until the end of all time
I want to press my lips on your forehead, so dear
Make you feel like there's nothing to fear

Rest your head on my shoulder
As we grow older and older
Caught up in a spell to which there is no cure
And never knowing what life has in store

Love, reigns over any ill will
That's hidden, out of view or concealed
There's been nothing more powerful
Nothing so strong
That filled what was empty until you came along

Nothing ever so moving
Nothing more as intense
Could have pleased my dry palette
You've somehow managed to quench

‪I lost my love ‬
‪She’s perished; gone‬
‪My soul is broken ‬
‪Yet lingers on‬
‪Why must I be the one‬
‪To continue down this path ‬
‪Alone, with a broken heart‬
‪Amidst the aftermath ‬

‪I lost my love‬
‪She’s perished; gone‬
‪God give me strength‬
‪To carry-on‬
Keep me safe
Keep me strong
‪And help me cope‬
‪Before the break of dawn‬

Many days I wake up
And look over to my side
Expecting to see my lovely bride
It’s an odd thing
Like as if I lost a limb but still felt it was attached to my body which is, sort of grim
I’m saddened when I realize there’s no one lying next to me
That I remain single
But then I remember that I’m single
And that opportunity still awaits
Just as long as I don’t seek it out
Discovering my destiny
Without doubt
And with the love I have to share
