like child’s play
throwing up my arms
leaves landing
Birth control abyss
fornication uncontrolled
empty hearts a’flutter
clouds like dandelion seeds twirled between palms and blown across blue skies
9/1/2018
Let’s board the child’s play time ship,
And take a magical trip,
To the land of fun and dreams,
That is full of wonderful and sparkling things.
Where anyone who wants to be a child can be one,
Forget all pain and have some fun.
Stay as long as you like and play,
Available to all any time, any day.
When life gets to be too rough,
And you have had enough,
Escape to where kid’s like to play,
Imagine and be whatever you say.
Try to remember what it is like,
To play and dream like any tike.
Be a kid and take a trip,
On a child’s magical play time ship.
Your grace abounds me, the tender love surrounds me
I am unleashed into a realm of a mystical fairytale
Castles and princesses
Money and fancy dresses
Prince charming is waiting to take my hand
to show me all he has planned
But its not enough
I trade beauty for ashes
Love for the lashes
and attention for satisfaction
Shes more beautiful than anything
her hopes are higher than her dreams.
She doesnt know,
the beauty she holds
She loves everyone but she feels so alone
This beauty inside is captured by lies
Beauty? Whats beauty?
Peace? Whats peace?
Hope? Whats hope?
I just need someone to listen and understand so I can set myself free
I need to love
I need to breathe
I need to live
and feel your love
