Depleted-
I feel depleted, emotionally, physically, mentally-
I don’t feel like me-
Like a shell of what I used to be-
This tree of life grows so continuously-
In this undefined times-with these undeveloped rhymes-
I grow so empty-
And this potentially could be the end of me-
Heaven set me free-
Free to fly so casually-
Happy-feels like a casualty-
And I’m just hammering-
At myself-by myself-
My health depletes so erratically-
And magically I’m still battling-
The enemies are gathering-
In my head-in my bed-
Better off dead-
So demanding-
Here in front of you Lord I am standing-
Commanding you presence-
Are relationship is so adolescent-
So co-dependent-
Just demented-
And I am repenting-
Descending into a world of pretending-
Where the smile is vile-
And the eyes are the lies-
Of all that I am inventing-
The façade is cementing-
This is not my intention-
Expression is only expressing-
Meir fraction of my aggression-
Positivity-I could use a lesson-
But negativity is just not letting-
Me-
Be free-
Freedom from demons-
Is how I’m dreaming-
Like I said-I’m simply depleting-

My Queen-
I knew when I saw you for the first time that night-
Something in my gut said you might be my wife-
Standing by the poolside looking so fine-
I knew that one day I would have to make you mine-
I still can’t believe that night that we shared-
The magic in the air cause destiny was there-
And there I was so scared an alone-
The king on this throne without a queen to call home-
But you saved me from my sins and I recognized all the love that you bring-
I’m grateful to have you always by my side-
Riding through this life like we’re Bonnie and Clyde-
Baby understand for the rest of my life-
That you will be the one thing I would never sacrifice-
Through the strife-through the stress-through the mess-you’re the best-
My decision to love you I can never regret-
Baby-
You know I love you-
You-
Know one else above you-
Its true-
Forever I will be here for you-
And no one else before you-
Now journey with me through time and through space-
Finally reached a place that can never be replaced-
And I’m standing that the gates-
The Lord is in my face-
Explaining my achievements and fixing my mistakes-
Inhaling your love with every breath that I take-
Sharing a family with the children that we raise-
And when I look into your eyes I know I’m ok-
And for the first time in my life, I’m seizing the day-
I finally understand-so I’m giving my thanks-
Cause you’re the sunshine that’s clearing up the rain-
And when I listen to your voice I’m feeling no pain-
I’m honest from the go-so my heart will be explained-
I’ll focus on our life till the day that I’m graved-
I’ll treat you like a queen and never a slave-
Stand toe to toe with anyone who tries to take my place-
My decision to love you could never be contained-

Imagine

Imagine a world where we all live as one
Where people walk hand in hand and don’t live by the gun
Where a man can be a man because racism is gone
And the evil deception of politicians are done
And the freedom from freeing my soul is met by the rays of the sun
And I stand on Mount Sinai
And wait for people to come
As they turn they back on corruption and start to run
And the power is handed from the words
And we can once again have fun

Imagine a world where we all live for today
Where yesterday is faded in time and in space
Where every gender, color, creed and race
Announces to the world
That peace is here to stay
And then the Messiah no longer has a reason to wait
Because we’ve destroyed power, corruption, greed and hate
And we stand here united along the same fate
Bringers of words to articulate

Imagine a world where we do not run from our ways
And we pound and we pray that we don’t stray from our days
And we show them what we know
Because knowledge can reign
And the point of the main game
Is not to be vain
So I strain and I drain till all the blood from my veins
Show you my love and the reason I’m praying
And my shoulders no longer feel the heaviness weighing
And we tell evil it no longer has a reason for staying
Because we no longer have a reason for waiting

Imagine a world where hope is the word
And the beauty of men
Is destroyed by the herds
And evil and hate can no longer learn
And men aren’t shot for the use of their words
Imagine all this without all the verbs
In sight of your own eyes
Soaring like birds
United by the heavens, clouds, skies and earth
To live in peace without concern

Imagine-
Thank you JL

Sleepless in San Fernando
You are not next to me tonight in the physical form-
You are half way across the country like never before-
But you are here in my heart, here in my soul-
Here in my mind-
And tonight that’s what I hold-
I hold your essence-
I feel your vibe-
I look forward to your laugh-
I love your eyes-
I dream of you, wishing you were next to me-
So you will be and I will be in ecstasy-
I love you beautiful but this you already know-
I can’t wait for you to get home and see your glow-
I love you so-

Though I make it hard to love me sometimes-
In your eyes I see the most beautiful of rhymes-
You’re ten times a dime-
So beautiful should be a crime-
I will love you till the end of time-
You shine-
Brighter than the brightest star-
You are-
That far-
Away paradise-
Your eyes they make me rise and intensify my soul-
My goal is to create a happy home-
Your beauty-
It stole-
My heart-
And I never want it back-In your hands is where I picture life at-
I would die for you-That’s a fact-
You are my dream come true-
Amazing in all you do-
Who knew-
The girl by the pool would make this old fool feel new-
I love you-
ALWAYS!

-Well should I-

How could something so beautiful become so dead and gone-?
How could such togetherness become such lonesome-?
What happened to our home huh-?
I have to ask?
We were once so handsome-
Something people wanted to be-
But last night you said you don’t want to live in misery-
Maybe the best choice is to become history-
My spirit is splintering-
Finding that deep dark I used to be,  the one I lost touch with in that sea of integrity-
And now he’s crawling infesting me -his dark death back into my chest
Walking-bowing my head-because I can’t stand the sight of my own breath-
There’s nothing left-I don’t know how much more I can say-
Should I come, should I go, should I leave, should I stay-?
Should I live, should I laugh, should I love, should I play-
Should I live to see the sun light of another day-
I want to hide from that wicked way-
Those rays-that glaze-my soul it strays-my eyes they blaze-
I yearn-I crave-to learn and make-the best out of this G-d forsaken day-

WORDS-
I love you-
Such simple words-
I need you-
In this complex world-
Without you-
I’m only a man-
With you-
I am the king of my land-
You are the sun-
Shine bright and strong-
You are the melody-
My favorite song-
You are the mother-
Who loves our child-
You are my heart-
My life worth while-
I love you-
