It's hard for me to say,
That in all my burning anger
That I still wish you
Could do better.

At the same time
My human heart
Wants you to destroy yourself
As I watch and
Smile.
Hate and peace, love and anger, I don't know how to choose the good.

be careful with who you put your heart on your sleeve for;
they might accidentally crush it when reaching for your hand.

Maybe be blackhole
In the pit of her stomach
Was enough to consume her
To disappear within midnight
Without any countenance in sight.

Before she could,
The heart beats its feet,
Sinks into the earth,
Rises above with sprouting buds-
Singing a melody, approach her to stay-
Dormant and yet to be born.

On a hot August night in Memphis
At the tinder age of forty two
Behind the gates of Graceland
America lost its tune

Gather round the throne room
The king is sadly dead
On the cold linoleum floor
Is where he last laid his weary head

Fought so many battles
In the star filled lonely life he lived
If you're keeping score this is one war
That he lost the battle in

His scepter it was golden
His voice it was the same
He just lost his soul is all
Somewhere along the way

With papers read the words they bled
Out on the written page
Tears that poured as the world all mourned
And still  do to this day

So bow your heads the king is dead
Elvis has left the building after all
Although long gone there is still the song
And he still is the king of rock and roll
Thinking the other day of the exact place I was standing when I heard the news of Elvis's passing August 16, 1977 and this came to mind. Not the hugest Elvis fan in the world but boy could he sing!

I must confess
That the sun went West,
For it is in its nature
To do so,
Just as it is in mine
To follow its path,
A wanderer wandering,
A rouge retreating
Forever into the sunset,
Always seeking,
Never finding,
Always looking,
Never seeing.

I shall believe, even while everything is falling around.
For you can not be anything accept Faithful to your people.
So I shall not give up on you, for you have only been faithful to me.
Especially when I was faithless toward you Holy Lord God.
So I shall keep moving forward toward you in every moment.
Because you are so Faithful to me whom deserves it not.
So I shall not give up but keep pushing forward here on the earth.
