Resolve

It would be so easy to give in.
Though I don't want to end up back where I began.
You reap what you sow.
What you spend time doing informs on your character.
All I know is,
I will never surrender.

Lines about giving up a vice in the hopes of finding new virtue.

Cheeky

I don't want to be your friend,
I want to be your lover.
I want to be the reason you smile,
and the person who makes your
Eyes light up the like the morning's first sun
I want to see your every candid moment.
I love you,
And I want you to love me too.

While I write these things with such ease,
I'll never say them aloud.
I can't speak for the way you think of me.

In a different place,
At a different time,
Living another life,
We could be the stuff that makes up dreams.

Personify

Your voice is like
The sound of rain falling and
Your touch is like Atlas, it
Moves mountains. Those
Lips like silk sheets and
Your tongue crashes into mine like
Ocean waves.

I breathe you in like
The scent of sweet summer wine.
I’m drunk.
The world spins and you
Catch me.

I am the moon,
You are the tide and
We dance an eternal set of steps.
They transcend the heavens and like
An enchanting New Mexico sunset
We find new life during the night.
When the sun rises, your light guides
Me home.
You’re mine.

Brazen

Infuse the world with
the color of dreams.
Odium lingers,
though not what it seems.
Fashion your own destiny;
disrupt the established routine
Incite the change which suits your endeavor.
Join the fight or
be perpetually wandering
melancholy waters.

All the sheep herding
towards the predetermined goal
It’s the only way
They have absolute control.
Set fire. Repent. Only if for your soul.

The Spring of Hope runs eternal
through worry and doubt.
Dripping courage
It runs from within
The time has come,
Revolution

This One's on Me

I tend to be a terrible friend.
It's nothing you've done
It's just the way I've become.
Too absorbed in my own woes
I never noticed how you needed me so.

Too wrapped up in my own
Shortcomings I see now, though
It feels too late for amends.
I thought of you as own best friend.

Distant in more ways than one
The space between us is full of
All those things we never said.

Just a Rambling Fool

It's days like today
that make me reevaluate
what I'm trying to achieve.
I can't say it wasn't a good day.
BUT

I feel myself slipping
into the depths of desolation.
I'm not making the impact
I know I'm capable of.
And though things happen
that are out of my control
I'm striving for my own change.

One of the
world moving
gets people talking
kind of phenomena.
Something nobody would ever dream.
But how do you know
when to take flight?
Is there a signal?
Or will the feeling be right?

Restless desire stirs
killing the idle mind.
I know.
           I know.
                      I know
I'm just a rambling fool
talking in open air
to nobody.
You're here though.

What I'm trying to say is
soon I'll be gone
and I'm going to change
the way you think of me.

On Writing

It's the moment of truth,
And all there’s to count on is
You.

Pen in hand, heavy as
the loaded gun.
Fight for the ******

The struggle is all you have.
Unleash the penance:
holes through their brains.

Force becomes the only way,
For messages heard, the
Carnage engraved.

If it helps, words are the means
To an end.
Embrace it, your new best friend.
