If you're headed towards the light
Make room for one more soul
I given all the time I can
It's starting to take its toll

I've walked this earth from edge to edge
It lied in such a drought
Seeing all I didn't see
I see why some opt-out

The world's been rather cruel to me
I came in bare and stranded
If I get back what I put in
I'll be leaving empty handed

The good've gone bad
The sane've gone mad
Yet they all fight to survive

The worthwhile wasn't
The feel-good doesn't
And there's no getting out alive

So if you're headed towards the light
Make room for one more soul
I given all the time I can
I've lost my self-control

Beauty of the dawn
Dew highlighting lawn  
Clouds succumb to rays    
Mountains hide in haze      
Birds caressing breeze        
Greens relinquish freeze         
Sun cascading earth            
Morning given birth             
Light engulfing day             
Noon helping to stay           
Dusk tearing the seams         
Nightfall stealing dreams        
Crescent strolling sky     
Twilight tiptoeing by    
Moon erased & gone  
Beauty of the dawn

On a night like tonight
You can't help but think
Of an undersold smile;
Watching hazel eyes blink

Attached at her hip, need she whisper in your ear

Your heartbeat can't match
The thrill or the pace
Take her by the hand,
Take her out of this place

Easily done once she drinks down her last fear

But, oh,
The wake which will ensue
And, oh,
The trouble you'll get into

She had eyes that could freeze you where you stood
And pierce the coldest heart
Golden locks that would make Frost eat his words
Tear his poem apart

She had dimples on the sweetest grin
A highlight for a spotlight
And the way she'd bite her bottom lip
Put the good in every "good night"

Her fingers matched your hand so well
While your other held tight to her waist
A perfect width so that your arm
Could hold her close for days

She had dreams that limits could not touch
And a drive no man could crush
But she kept a calm about herself
And led on like a lush 

She had legs that would go on for days
They'd keep your mind going just the same
And the way she talked won you over so fast
You'd never know it was a game

She was as confident as a kid could get
And she could do no wrong
She sat atop many a man's list
She was a prize to be won

So strong in all she'd ever done
She knew nothing of how to lose
Strength, beauty, charm, or grace
She never had to choose

There was one thing she failed to fight 
The one thing she could not foresee
She had one flaw, and it was beyond repair
Her only weakness was me

I want simplicity
to simplify these words
these words for you
for you make it seem worth the effort
the effort of a stroke of the pen
God's stroke of genius
my stroke of luck
You are Mine
forever
and that
is what I want
Simplicity & You
Forever

This
Is my chance
To say something boldly
To do something differently

It is a light
A guide to inner truth
Ridding shadows of the mind

It is a commitment
To finally open up
To say what needs to be said

But it is flexible
My message
Your perception

It is emotion
It is bliss
It is solace

It is me
It is mine
And now it is yours
