#footstep
I had a path that at no time intersected
with others footsteps.
Never would I walk on the
degradation of there choosing.
Because,
if later on they had made a misstep.
I would ultimately be the lemming falling
with veins cut,
falling into the same inevitable ending...
Every footprint shifts after we have put
our weight on that decision.
That this was the right course of action...
But we were a conveyor that feed
the lie of life that every step was always
well trod.
We would always finish off with a life well
walked, but the truth was.
That some laces were untied and some fell.
Some would never reach the ending,
let alone the beginning of the path..
For our steps are always shifting,
and everyone is never the same..

You'll never dilute the memory
of my last words..
That as I wondered the paths you
never trod upon.
Some uneven, but still I gazed upon
things you could have
gazed over...
But you never would walk footsteps,
taking you beyond the safety
of those you followed...
My path was never smothered by
misconceptions.
I walked in life,
while you stood still...
Mine was a diverse wondering,
some more heavy than others.
But I carried the baggage of my past and took
new paths...
My last words are,
take more footsteps than
others,
for if you stand still to long the view
is dull, and you haven't lived till you took that
extra step.

Sometimes we just need to calm down ,
sometimes we just need a hug ,
and a whisper in the ear ;
Saying " it's gonna be alright "
Once in a while we need to run ,
run to where we can't see fault ,
an escape to where perfection exists ,
down to the rivers, beneath the clouds ,
Maybe we just have to take a walk ,
just a moment alone with a thought ,
away from where conflict starts ,
strolling under the lights alone ,
Sometimes we should pick ourselves up ,
and dust off from the footsteps of those we love ,
and accept that it didn't work out ,
" well it's life " I would say , " not everything is in your hand "

I will trace your tears
through the meteor shower,
through the footsteps that you followed,
through the hands that you held,
through the hearts that you broke,
through the marks on your skin,
through the lost and found columns,
through the moist flower placed in you books,
through that crossed out name, on every page.
I will trace your tears
that will lead back to me.
And say what needs to be said.
An apology.
An apology that you never got.
An apology that you deserved.

There are footsteps
drawn in rainwater
that float on the floor
that was once firm and solid
but now cracks under my every step.
The rain and storm
must have brought him here.
The never improving
weather of his heart.
Did he find what he came for?
How long he must have stood here?
Was it still raining when he left?

Your wonderful love takes me up in the clouds
In trance and jubilation I touch just real blue sky
Let us celebrate our love out of worldly crowds
Together like innocent birds let us fly but so high
My passion of love and your fashion of beauty
Will coincidentally provide us a chance to dance
We will celebrate our stance of love being free
Love will kiss beauty at places to initiate romance
My beloved ,solace of my heart come to take love
Be my associate on difficult path from step to step
I love you I praise you and worship you to bow
Let me chase you let, embrace you to follow footstep
