Beautiful Beginning To a Bad Ending

Beautiful beginning to a bad ending
lying all alone and restless
unable find any slumber, cant escape your  image,
sleepless, cant focus on
anything but your surrender,
tugging a vision with the rhythm that's in my head
the sound of you lying was when all hope was soon 
dead
so delighted with a new understanding
of how you could lie with the truth hidden from me
somewhere inside 
hostility and anger you through from the sky
and in disbelief i could only wonder why
while you stand there sighing with a look in your eye
waiting and watching with an innocent face all you wanted was this
to be our last goodbye,  

lying alone and restless in despair 
a lights shines down on me and cleans the air
she appears in front of me 
and looks at me with a gentle stare
gives me a hug and tells me that life's not fair 
says don't worry grabs my hand and tells me that she will always be there
that nothing is beyond her repair 
lonely eyes looked back at her as i spoke the words 
thank you,  your the only one who cares...

Our Greatest Gift

why are we here on this planet full of everything amazingly wonderful to everything, ferociously terrible, the majority of people can't stand it, but go on because they are afraid god will damn them, afraid of what he calls sin, this power controls the weak men, who like to keep the light dim, I am not one of them, some run away from life like it’s a horrible monster, u grab her hand and never try to make a stand, now you have lost her in the suffocating quick sand, franticly looking for stable land some people want it all but are bound to fall, but can only crawl, they should have seen it was too tall as it cracks while all you can do is call... no one...some drift on by without any tide, just follow the flow without any direction to go, until they finally sink to low and there is no more, except for the ones knocking on their door right before they hit the floor, it shutters your existence down to the core. Then you have me who likes to follow my own direction, who believes in no deception, or corruption, I form my own function...true honesty will never fall short of happiness, unless there’s a lack of loyalty you need to confess, the truth is the best, unless a broken heart is what you want to lay to rest, life is full of tests, make the right choices and ignore the evil voices you might end up blessed, for me I’m still waiting, contemplating, consolidating, recently fading, feeling like all the good is deflating, but as long as I keep my flow in the direction I want to go, stop to take the time to listen to the wind blow, I just might one day know, but for the times like these there’s no need to get down on your knees, just keep in mind your dreams and passions, something of yours that really means, and grab hold and prove to yourself you can be fluent like water in a gentle stream, life is and unexplained unpredicted scene of random events made up of choices, make good choices, consider other people, they do have voices, have fun and be happy or misery will sneak up quick, so find your passion or something to strive for and never quit, but if you don’t, your puzzle piece of life may never fit, and your happiness will crumble bit by bit,  hold the things you love in your heart, do this and what you cherish will never slip. it’s the divine holding them with the almighty grip, one last tip, open your mind and let yourself commit to the Light and Love, Serenity and bliss, make a wish and look life in the eye and blow it a kiss for it is our greatest gift

The Change

Breath deep, focus on desired actions, let your heart heal and see that life is ment to be lived free, follow my words and believe, its just you and me, set your sights high, failure is not an option of mine, breath the breath of life, raise your inner wings and fly, let the world embrace you, the light and love will never lie, from the truth i speak till the day i die, its only the begining, theres no such thing as a final farwell, goodbye, build the conection section by section, from me you will see no rejection, only your true reflection , carasmaticly strole over the the hardships with no deception, slip by, easly fall, make the right correction, i believe you have the insight to find your perfect direction, you will not surcome to their infection, just believe is what i wont forget to mention, light and love , expanding of the inner light, growth of ones spirt, healing and helping others when possible, search within yourself, you already feel it, revolution of kindess, change is upon you, do not fear it

From the Devil To the Sun

From the devil to the sun,
chose to see what is to come,
frequently following faces and where 
they originate from,
disillusion of reality,
division equals none, 
serenity and signs as they come, 
any at times to make us feel so 
numb, 
Trust in the one you can relate, 
and optimist that your new 
encounter has become, 
with this your greatness will equal 
the sum, 
of the devil and the sun

Be True

find clarity in what others think and do, it’s so obvious to me that people can’t see, what someone else is going through, learn to set your mind free, be who we are suppose to be, most have no clue, on how to be true, embrace life in the moment and learn something new, life can be seen so easily in another man’s shoes, prospectively thinking, constantly feeling, progressively leading, forever defeating, viciously repeating and always being the one to question you, Free your thoughts and think if you were them what would you do
Find clarity in what other think and do, "we all must learn to be true"
