windmills turn
as designed
in ways proscribed

moving water
as they do
here or there

can't complain
there is no point
cycles set in place

but why do we act
like we're
so trapped

live pointless lives
condemn ourselves
as if it's fate

when choice invites
with every step
though blind we be

at end of day
when all is said
and done

we had more we
could influence
if thinking was employed

instead of fears
and pointless strife
and blaming everything

let's harness capability
remove the screen
and truly see

we take a path
we choose to walk
to find ourselves

right here

...i could..
i could love you...
i could love you better..

Places you would've loved to go , even the avenues,
Remembered all that you are and what you do,
Heartaches in life,love i had a few,
almost went crazy over you,
to me you're Something new..

i could love you better than he ever has in his life,

sacrificing everything for you baby,you could be my wife,

In this life its give and take,
Gonna have to get your way,
i just want my way to be in your direction
just to see your pretty face,
you're a drug,you're not a phase,
you're the only one that meets all my attractions,
you,
love,
to,
the,
best of your abilities when you've been sighted,
In this thing that we call life,
Wanna be that man in your life,,
you're the only one that i have ever like...


i'll do my best to do right by you,
your the guiding force in my virtues,
simulations make me more into you,
doing things we wouldn't do,
free as a bar stool,

i could love you better than he ever has in his life,

sacrificing everything for you baby,you could be my wife...

In this life its give and take,
Gonna have to get your way,
i just want my way to be in your direction
just to see your pretty face,
you're a drug,you're not a phase,
you're the only one that meets all my attractions,
you,
love,
to,
the,
best of your abilities when you've been sighted,
In this thing that we call life,
Wanna be that man in your life,,
you're the only one that i have ever like.

hap*
/hap/

noun
1. luck; fortune

verb
1. come about by chance

And it hit me,
by happenstance,
that perhaps,
per-chance
I'd been
wrong.

Wrong in believing
a happiness
was owed
to people
and would
flow to me
not by happenstance
but by choice.

By choice
and by choosing
the right path.
But the path
of choice
and of choosing
the one
that is right
is a very wrong
and anxious
path
indeed.

And indeed
I am
the anxious type
from years
of fears
that by
trusting choice
over happenstance
I'd choose
wrong.

But I didn't
choose wrong.
Nor did I
choose right.
I chose
not to choose
at all.

I'm also
the sad type.
And now
I worry
that by
definition of
hap
and thus
of happiness
I'm not sad
by happenstance
but of
choice.

You decided to
smile your way through,
all the way into my heart,
with the smile of a silent assassin
I can't recall letting in,
and the eyes of a risk,
a risk I'm willing to take
because what do I have to lose?
In the end,
the rage that makes your heart quake
is equal to the love
which makes your bones shake
and out of all the madness
coating the world in debris,
you'd still be the one I'd choose.
