To the gates of my hell
Warren Rogers Nov 2015
I've been on a journey, took a trip and a half.
Tempted by fate, I decided my path.
Took confusion and anger, mixed it with speed.
I created my hell, to which this journey did lead.
¨
I looked into hell, and saw twisted ******* inside.
They turned fear against me, my weakness was pride.
I refused to be broken, but searched for my  best
I found fear but a feeling, which belonged with the rest.

With a jump to my step, I put a skip in my charge.
My heart it was racing, my ego enlarged.
Returning once more, I made my way back.
To a world now so different, I climbed through the crack.

I faced my own end, with humility and grace.
I stared my own hell, straight in the face.
with choices so few, I rose on above.
My Instinct my guide, it lead me with love.

My life wasn't over, not ended complete.
And in my short madness, I defeated defeat.
Have strength my dear friends, there's hope each new day.
Remember you choose hell, and let it take you away.

We make our own hell, we breath in it life.
Fueling its fires, with anger and strife.
don't give in to darkness, be a star seen above.
shining your kindness and compassion and love.

Destroy your own hell, before its too late
your life is in your hands, don't give in to fate.
Take heed of my warning, and learn from my tale
Arrogance consumes you, and will cause you to fail.

let peace find you
Warren Rogers Nov 2015
You've searched all your world, your reality too.
You've searched deep inside, your soul you've searched through.
So many a night, the days stretching on.....
Searching for peace, belonging to you.

You know that it's yours, you demand it be there
Yet instead of its presence, you find only despair
So many a night, days still stretching on,
You think maybe easier, if you just didn't care.

So how do you find this peace that you seek?
How long will you last, feeling so weak?
What must you do? and where do you start?
How to find courage, with a broken heart?

well...you take a step.  only one is required
every step holds great power, even if uninspired

Begin at the bottom, build it from there
love as your guide, now you're able to care
Care for all creatures, no matter how small
Even for those, who've caused you to fall.

To care is essential, allowing kindness it's start
respect is your armor,  protecting your heart
trust is the key, which opens the door
love now evolving,  get ready for more

stay true to yourself,
and in all remain fair
Peace can now find you,
forever to share.

my journey full circle
Warren Rogers Nov 2015
A journey full circle,
Feeling nothing but fear,
a circles infinite,
the end no where  near.

With acceptance in fate,
I gave up and ran.
I met my life, love and partner,
Falling into destiny's plan

You've filled my life full of love,
and my days are like sunshine,
with my heart in your hand,
Soon, you'll give me karoline,

an angel.
Sweet Karoline.

Your souls beauty shines,  
and your strength i adore,
Our destiny's been chosen,
We found the same door.

Together we'll walk,
Holding hearts in our hands,
for the rest of our days,
till all time stops and it stands.

synergy
Warren Rogers Nov 2015
Like two discs, a kaleidascope,
unique their own
a complex of swirls
seems randomly grown
yet the closer they come
synergy sets in
in a flash of pure brilliance
i see whats within,
like living the past,
that moment complete
but now i'm observing
instead of feeling defeat,

my karoline
Warren Rogers Nov 2015
My girl she's a wonder
A work of living art
A creation of beauty
I've loved from the start
Smiles are a plenty
Given for free
A heart filled with kindness
Only good she can see
Innocence so pure
Gentle in all
A saint to all people
Of this I am sure.
Karoline oh karoline
Powerful and strong
Without any effort,
You make life a song

eternal spin
Warren Rogers Nov 2015
A world always spinning
never rest not for me
constantly feeling
never am free
look to my left
a path full of lies
look to my right
no respect in those eyes
so how to find peace
how long can i last
reality a burden
punished by the past
the future it should
be totally unwritten
yet the present dictates
tomorrow get bitten

live for yourself
Warren Rogers Nov 2015
walk on your path, hope for your dream
reality beckons, causing a scream
so much has gone on, so much still to be
the lessons you face, not easy to see
some things never stop, never they do
until you grow up, or die with no clue
facing each day, put a smile on your face
insides all twisted, want out of this race
believing in something, you think that you can
yet forced to reject it, and abandon your plan
try as you might, and try just some more
realize too late, you've got the wrong door
less sure of your purpose, confused and alone
always surrounded, yet remaining unknown
speak your real self, expressing whats true
even if conflict, is all that comes through
don't yield to the pressure, protect who you are
stay true to yourself, wrong cannot  go far
celebrate you they should, respect sows the seeds
those that do not, consider them weeds
clean all around, leave only the joy
or forever be played, forever the toy

— The End —
