Premium Member YOU CANt ESCAPE THE WEATHER

With accompaniment of rain, the tweets pour into my ear.
Saturation of sound, mottled bark and sodden moss.
Must be the downfall of civilization, heavens tears.
In God’s house, psalm’s blessing; outside, purging the dross.

Hues of watercolor diffuse, darkness rippling on wet canvas.
There is beauty in mankind, to...

Cant Feel the Wind
They say fantasy is in the wind
But I can see it everywhere
We’re all chasing empty beauty 
And that’s before the bubble’s pop

Reality is just complex delusion
Too successful to taste freedom
Thinking we’ve lived and loved
Because that’s what we are told

But what if it was just control
The...

We Cant Be Together
Sorry its not you its me
Your perfect
Your everything that I want
I can see myself with you 
I really can
Its just that I nolonger trust men
I want to be along
There's no such thing as love
Or trust
I like you I do
Its just I have trust issues...

They Cant See
They think because im a man that i wont shed tears
They think im strong inside, but they cant see what i hide.
Its partially my fault, for wearing the phoney smile,
And all the while
I bleed out the hurt and pain
Again and again
They dont see me on...

I Cant Believe This Old Flame Hasnt Burned Me Down
I found a picture of us
Tucked away in an old...dresser drawer
By the smiles on our faces, I’d guess
We both wanted more

Now to this day I say
I let you get away
And knowing that
Always gets me down
I can’t believe this old flame
Still hasn’t burned me down

There’s no...

Cant Keep An Umbrella
I live in a family
who can't keep an umbrella
a flashlight
flour
superglue
post its
ink cartridges
ice cubes
ice cream cones

who can't find
checkbooks
gift cards
phone cords
appt reminders

who never has
extra cash
maps
penny rolls 
the doctors number
the date of surgery
a camera

so we're always
wet 
hungry
cold
late 
early
lost
behind
thirsty...

A Man Cant Live On Memories Alone
On the park bench where he met her
He placed one last rose
On the headstone beside her
Reads his name and a date unknown 

If I were to guess
I’d say it won’t be long
Cause a man can’t live on mem’ries alone

Once his Heaven is gone
His life turns...

You Cant Just Return
You were gone
And yet now you return
Expecting it all to be the same
When for two months I was alone in the rain

You left not a note in the mail
Not a whisper in the wind
Not once did the telly ring

Now again your back
But im not with...

Premium Member You Cant Handle the Truth
You can’t handle the truth…

And so you lash out in pain
You hurt and you maim
Innuendo, the game
Flaming, you flame
What a shame!
A SHAME!

You can’t handle the truth…

And so you fabricate lies
Dress up a pretty disguise
Compliment mesmerize
Word trophy prize
Not wise
Not wise!

You can’t handle the truth…

And so you...

God Cant You Change These Grandchildren
GOD Can’t You Change These Grandchildren?
GOD can’t you change these grandchildren?
You were there when they were born
You fed them
Changed their diapers
Followed them and their parents around the United States and some foreign countries
You studied with them
Went to school with them
Gave them money, praise, and love
And...

You Cant Buy Me
You can't buy my conscience 
it worth more than a million
you can't buy my emotions
It is for my people.
I am for my people 
Not for bribery and corruption 
Which had feasted deep into the system.
I do not crave for foolish riches
Rather i work towards the...

Premium Member Knowledge Is a Genie Once Let Out of the Bottle It Cant Be Put Back

Profound insight climbing the mountain
The higher you go the more beautiful view 
Opens up wide spread in front of you
You see the world under your feet
Overwhelmingly liberating experience 
Shocking overpowering, and scary
You play walking on the sling blade 
The line that only God can balance
Once...

Cant Live Without You
If you could see me now
 You will know what I’m going through

 I just can’t live with out you
 
 My heart is hanging on a string
 Holding on to my feeling tight
 And it refuses to...

You Cant Get Rid of Your Shadow
You cant get rid of your shadow 

Its always there on the wall

The movement of sunlight makes it flow

It dances whenever you call

It rises forever in the daybreak

Gripping every corners edge

Sets in the sundown of its wake

Finding us in every slope and ledge

We always look...

A Bacon Roll Oh My I Cant Resist
Sizzling bacon on grill
Aroma is mouth watering
Forget about that iron will
Think of it without drooling

Smell the wonderful fresh roll
spread with butter what a treat
Waistline may take its toll
But the  pleasure you cant beat

Fresh buttered roll, filled with bacon 
Brown sauce as well oh yummy
Some people like...
