Faithful

An expression of allegiance to the image in one's eye
A vow to never forsake thee even with a miniature lie
Or even a blemish to the bond that our souls share
Believers need not a dream nor a single prayer
The obstacle of faith is believing without seeing
And the beauty is the truth that one is being 
Being this imaginary image my eyes have never seen
Making me trust that one's hands remain clean
Free of all impurities and trouble that seems to follow
Preventing this heart from a hole so deep and hollow
Or killing a dream filled with optimism for tomorrow
And consistent in every way and not just  words you borrow
More than devotion, something like a promise from the heart
A commitment to thee that  this joy shall never depart
And drain the evil thoughts so that they no longer flow
Only the King of the mountains in the celestial skies above can truly know
That the words which provide me with comfort are authentic
Not just false portraits of happiness pretending to be photogenic
Or fabrications misleading the naive and the blind
But giving contentment to this confused mind
Leading one away from the thought of destruction and disaster
Establish my faith the same way as my pastor
Make one feel like there is only I and no other
Build this trust so high that belief can go no further
Uncover your words and leave no mask
Because your faithfulness is all that I ask

The Road That Never Ends

Skies painted with dark images of my pain
Tears fall from my eyes like heaven's rain
Skin never touched so very soft and gentle
Searching for that lost hope of yesterday to rekindle
The weather changes as a new season arrives
Thoughts of finding my true love keeps those precious hopes alive
Blessings from my father everyday as i gasp for a breath
But yet again sadness kills my emotional health
Deep reflections of what kindness felt like
As i dream about love i fall asleep in the silent night
But then i remember this is where it all begin
The road of pain i took that will never end

If Only I Could

If only I could run my fingers through your delicate hair
Take you to pastures unknown with no worries, not even a single care
Just rest your hand on my shoulder and let me carry you to the skies
Imagine a world where there's  no pain and no lies
Believe in me and I'll do the same for you
Looking into your caramel eyes makes me feel anew
I've become part of you, your flesh is my own
Deep into the night as we lay beneath the stars our true feelings are shown
Your skin revitalizes my senses and I smell your lovely scent
I grow to love you even more every moment we have spent
Your the image in my head from the picture I drew
If only I could make this dream come true

Another Night Alone

Myself seems to be all that I have and alI that I will
Words on paper can only express the way I feel
I watched her come in my life and then she quietly left
With her departure went a big piece of myself
Now i'm torn and never to be mended
It's like instead of angels, demons descended
All my eyes see is darkness, light has yet to reach me
Let me leave this dreadful world I call home peacefully
To the gates of after life where tears are no more
I'm a lonely sea creature yearnin' to wash upon love's shore
Not so long ago was I overwhelmed with joyful feelings
Now tears roll down my cheeks as I quietly stare at the ceiling
Not just one night but maybe even eternity I may spend alone
So I stand as a man beggin' you to come back home

Reasons For Pain

Tears shed over a night's cool breeze
Arms wrapped around only themselve
Waking up for the day to seize
Slowly grasping for emotional health

Timid steps toward the light of day
Searching for an answer to one's existence
Constant questions why must it be this way
Random encouragement to be persistent

A smile yet so far away
Joyful renewed when tears are no more
Leaving sorrow where it may lay
Opening a brand new door

Enjoying great success
And turning pain into happiness

I Still Think About You

It's been so long since I heard your sweet, angelic voice
Months it took to get over you, but I was left with no choice
Reality clicked in and I knew you would never have a change of heart
Seeing you now hurts worst than when I watched you depart
I still find time in my troubled day to dream about the way it once was
I'm  lost in thoughts of your soft skin because that's what love does
It creates a feeling deep inside one's soul that's so hard to lose
Rather than go with that emotion some just pick and choose
But I search for my true desire and once found I never let go
Once upon a time I begged thee for just a taste of your affection
Now I just remember when you were mine as I sleep in deep reflection
Life is full of riches but love is the one thing I desire and it can't be bought
You may not be mine but yet you will always remain in my thoughts

The Object of My Desires

Like a beautiful image painted inside my stargazed head
The one who receives compliments when words are said
A body of flesh that creates the protype of my obsesssions
The one I kneel and pray for when I ask the Lord for blessings
The character who portrays the dreams that I possess
My heart's priest when I feel I need to confess
The imaginary picture in the clouds I see
The cause of me living enternally happily
The reason I awake from my somber sleep
The voice I respond to when i'm felling deep
She is the reason my love is so open and flaunted
More than an object, she's everything i've ever wanted

Hawaiian Beauty

A tropical angel, sweeter than fruit from a tree vine
Words can’t describe her, she’s just simply so divine
Sun rays shine on her cinnamon brown skin
Lips bright red, hair silky smooth, and a waist so thin
My tongue fails to produce words, my mind so mesmerized
All I think about is my hands caressing her gentle thighs
The eyes of a goddess alluring men from every corner
Born from exotic , distant islands unknown to any foreigner
A place where only angelic beings like yourself reside
When my life feels empty, fulfillment is what you provide
Smoother than a wave rising over the sunny skyline
When storms flood my eyes you bring me my sunshine
A touch from her hand heals my pain and softly soothes me
Could never go one moment without dreaming about my Hawaiian beauty

Meaning of Love

deep thoughts engulf my mind as I fondle the dreams of mine
to me you are that star in the bright night that beautifully shines
u make me feel like i haven't before
when u leave my side, i yearn to see you once more
this emotion u give me turns my dark world into bright days in heaven's sunlight
I try to avoid the emotion but it's such a beautiful image to my eye sight
I can't escape what it is,it has taken over my dreams
give all u have to me and i am sure to redeem
desire fills my body all the way to the depths of my lonely soul
this feeling i have ,i  just can't seem to control
i must let it out for the entire world to see
because what u have given thine will last for eternity

Speechless

When your hand slowly caressed mine I'm sure it was love I felt
And when your hair brushed against my nose I swear it was roses I smelt
Not only am I addicted to just one glance at your beautiful face
You send me to a dream world, I believe heaven was the name of the place
A spot where there was no worries not even a single care
I have this desire for you I can't seem to hide but somehow I can't share
But the yearning for just a touch of your soft skin has reached it's peak
A moment in your lovely arms is all that I seek
Or maybe just one taste of your tender, sweet, red lips
Everytime you glide into a room water from my open mouth slowly drips
My head and my thoughts are lost, my eyes are glued to you
Whispering to myself softly " this can't be true"
Yet it is and I thank the Lord for this great moment
I asked him for help and an angel was sent
