give me skin dried like leather
a tan burned into well-used bones
who creak predictions of bad weather

deep laughter lines that hide groans
and a smile that never sours
give me a back that aches
as I bend down to pick flowers

give me crinkled eyes that shine
when I look at your face
Old Age, treat me with grace

His biggest mistake is that he loved
his greatest choice is that he loved

he strums
the steel strings
of his guitar
akin to the strings
of my heart
     that I wear on my sleeve

he echoes
quiet unspoken
memories
through a
loud medley of
melodies
     that his heart and soul bleed

so in time
for him
I'll voice and play
to reach out
and give back
to him someday
     like how he reached out to me

What does it cost-for a penny for your thoughts?
In the worldly person's view-

What is a penny-but a way to tell, for sure, the amount
and cost of things, not always understood right away.

I see a penny on the floor-and I never pick it up-no
not anymore.

It would just be another crumb to add to my pocket-book-
another way of telling how much more I have to spend on just
a little nook.

Let another worldly dweller pick it up, and then they can tell,
for sure, how much they have to pay for things.

They would always have a need for it, more than me now.

I could always add a penny, when I take too much of my time
taking a penny!

You never showed
You let me go
You had to pick
I wasn’t it
Can’t live two lives?
Why not mine?

That a hero is never a hero,

before

he faces a downfall,
and learns to pick himself up.

Hush my baby, don't you cry
don't let a teardrop fall for that ***
that she who broke you down
that ***** who made you hate love
that she devil that shot you with a load gun full of hate
Yeah, I know she hurt you, almost **** near killed you
But don't let that end you before i can heal you

I'm right here waiting
With open an heart and arms that never close
I know you feel shattered all over
there's not a place that witch didn't damage
But my love can cure any evil spell

So consider me everything she could never be
the answer to all your questions
i can feel that little piece of magic still beating in your heart and its screaming out for me
so let me in, how long do you think i can bang on the walls around your heart before you let them fall
let my love be the medicine you need, let my touch awaken you once again


i can fix what's broken, your love was meant for me anyway
you see its gonna be different with me
cause this love is speical like a sunset that fades into a star
something no one in the history of world ever felt
it's about time you let all your old slef disintegrate and embrace this love
