The Cheater
Do you know the pain you caused
To all your loved ones, big and small
You did not care who you hurt
You did not know your wife's real worth
Was the grass greener on the other side
The mountain I had to climb was way too high
Left alone here to cope
While you and her considered me a dope
The darkness in my head was unreal
I actually thought, I would never heal
With time and help from all good friends
I am bouncing back again
So now I am happy once again
Have found love and lots of new friends
So off you go with your piece on the side
Her fate will be (like mine) its only a matter of time.
My dearest
smile more often than you do
be reckless because no one will judge you
give hugs if you feel the need to
accept love from whoever loves you
laugh until your tears start to flow
cry if your heart told you so
dont hold back and dont hold in
its only a matter of time that life will suck you in
i envy you, my little self
you dont carry the burden all by yourself
He warns, in love, of a time when we won’t have a second chance to ask Him into our heart. – quote by poet
~~~
He tried to warn them all
God was about to pour down
Rain that would drown the world
Destroy all life with His flood
He wasn’t that different
Than the modern day preacher
He warned them time would run out
And they’d be left without a prayer
He told them the time was coming
When life as they knew it
Would cease to be – nothing
Would survive the destruction
He cautioned with his urging
God is bringing a downpour
Not one will survive this flood
When it comes, there is no shelter
He worried about the fate
Of those he knew would die
But he told them over and over
Its only a matter of time
Noah wasn’t so different
From the preacher of today
Who is telling us about the hope
We have if we believe in His grace

Genesis 9:13 KJV -“I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.”

TITLE chosen: 1. Along Comes A Flood
I Will Leave When the Time Does Come
And in My Heart There Be No One
I Will Leave Is That Is True
And in My Heart No More Will There Be You
I Will Leave but Not for a Long While
And in My Heart No More I See Your Smile
I Will Leave its Only a Matter of Years
And in My Heart I Know There Be Lots of Tears
I Will Leave it May Not Be My Choice
And in My Heart No More Will Hear Your Voice
I Will Leave its Only a Matter of Time
But in My Heart True Love and Happiness I Did Find
I Will Leave When it Comes to My End
But in Your Heart You Be Left with Memories of Your
Best Friend
I feel so sick,
This world twists my gut.
These people test my nerve,
And I think I've had enough.
Not sure that I can take much more,
All this animosity just tears me to my core.
The antagony of this society is testing my resolve,
Its only a matter of time now, until our reality dissolves.
THE
WARM SUN
by
JOHN M. ARRIBAS
As I sit here embracing the warm sun
I ask where have all those souls gone
I once could count a hundred friends
Or related kinsmen knowing no end
Silently and quietly they all left
Victims of times unending theft
Its only a matter of time you see
When time will end its search for me
Where have they gone,
all of your memories and your dreams?
Have they become your only friendly comfort to help you sleep?
Until you wake up
and you slowly begin to realize,
That everything you hold dear to your heart
bleeds from your eyes.
It's just another day that you'll spend
hoping to find some kind of change,
but you will never find it if you're always looking for the same thing.
Doesn't it occur that its not your dissappointments that hold you down
You have lived your whole life trying to get in
and now you just want out.
You've opened your heart a thousand times
just to pick up the broken pieces,
but its only a matter of time,
You will uplift your troubled eyes.
And there you will see all that your life is worth,
beyond Gods precious skies,
It's all there for you to keep,
just don't let it pass you by...
i watch as she grows weaker
it breaks my heart to see her pain
i wonder how long we,ll get to keep her
and when she,ll see our mom again
i know mom is waiting
and i can almost see her smile
as she once again embraces
with happiness on her face
i know i,ll never be happy
once they lay her in the grave
its only a matter of time
but for now im trying to be brave
but each night my heart is breaking
and alot of tears i cry i dont want to tell my sister
i love you and goodbye
when you see our sweet sweet mama
give her a kiss for me
for it wont be long
we,ll be reunited
for all enternity
Tell me, whats your mind?
Please don't lie
Its only a matter of time
But i won't mind
I'v felt it all before
Heard it all before
Its nothing new
I will not scream
I will not cry
When you tell me, good-bye.
With a wink and a nod
Through the door with a wiggle and a smile
Hey what’s up
Gonna get juiced need my purple high t’night
Oh Sweet sugar oh sweet Susie
You light my fire
Just a girl after a bad ass bass player
Come on and stroke the night
Wauka wauka
Come on and rock the night
Wauka wauka
Just a little tease and delight
Lean over and take a peek
Your eyes hypnotize
Turn me into a freak tonight
On her hands and knees begging for it please
Your fingers dance make me feel so right
Your lips and that tongue got my attention
Its only a matter of time before your giving satisfaction
One more stroke fills the air into a hot and sticky night
Wauka wauka
Come on and rock the night
Wauka wauka
Just a little tease and delight
