A brightly lit room still holds darkness.
Look deeply,
Leopard like sharpness.

In a corner or behind the door.
Look closely,
Maybe under the floor.

Look high, look low.
Bring a friend,
Let the search grow.

Look to the wardrobe,
Maybe you see it.
Pressure building in your lobe.

Look under the bed,
Creepy crawlies,
Infecting your head.

Look in the closet,
Careful there I say,
Untold, unknown,
A ghoulish made deposit.

Legacy of broken dreams.

Never mentioned,
Gone it seems.

Legacy of broken will...

He pushes on,
Shattered still.

Legacy of vast emotion,

Swimming hard,
Sadly, with downward motion.

Legacy of a battered soul,

Darkness invading,
Life lessons took a devastating toll.

A father's love
Stern, yet subtle.

Heard far and wide,
Yet just a mumble.

You know the time has come,

After he talks to Mother.
You think the worst,

Why were you so dumb?

Slowly climbing every stair,

Tired and weary.
You hold your breathe,

This is more than you can bare.

With a knock on your door..

You know it is the end.
It was a good run,

Trembling at the core.

As the door opens it's not what you expect.

He pulls a chair,
Starts talking,

Waiting for you to interject.

He knows what happened,
But wishes to hear you out,

Standing in your corner,
Ready to fight your bout.

He stands by your side.
Tried and true,


A father's love,
Always looks after you.

How do you climb,
After falling so deep?

Is it just time,
Or consequences we reap?

How do you love,
After feeling utter loss?

Do we look above,
Or do we become cross?

Love be driven,
Love be true.

Love be given,
Not taken from you.

Love be bliss,
Love be empathetic.

Love be that kiss,
Don't make me feel pathetic.

Love be dreams,
Love be real,

Love with tight seams,
Enlay my heart.. Love's very seal.

Getting older day by day.

First it seemed slower,
Life started in May.

I rushed through school.

Wanting to be older,
Wanting to be cool.

I made bad choices.

Looking back now I know,
Remembering loved ones  voices.

Remembering their words.

Forever in my dreams,
Flying free like birds.

I cannot change my past.

The wrongs,
In stone cast.

I rememer today.

To make them proud,
That I can't hold myself to yesterday.

I feel something for her.
A feeling so new.

A feeling,
Igniting,
Relighting the fire in my heart.

Engulfing,
Leaving no piece untouched.

I feel something for her.

This feeling so true.

A feeling,
Inspiring,
Knowing it can be possible.

Healing,
Taking away the black and blue.

I feel something for her.
A feeling that always grew.

A feeling,
Of loving you.
