Empty Glass

My sad, deplorable glory is a nightmare for another
This knowing is sickening to the bone
The need for anothers' pain is like a virus
Slitting the veins of truth and delirious want of false
Watching the bile flow through
I emptied a full, sorrowful glass for you
Without even a moment’s glance
Your parched lips opened to drink 
But like poison the sustainable exhalation surrounded your body
I shrank at the shrieks of your disquietude
Not knowing what to do
Expression died with the loss of flow
I couldn’t flourish in the bleak winters of your loss
I couldn’t grow
All happiness in a flash of susceptibility
Turned to woe
I gave into thinking it was all an unworthy dream
But the answers, the symbolism was never clear
The loss of your very soul is what I fear

I never meant to poison you in what I take as nourishment
And here now you rot
At the expense of these sad, empty tunes
They must mean close to nothing to you
Pain 
Pain
Why do I revolve around the pain? 
The empty glass of your spirits remains stained
With the insides of all things true
Torn away
Smothered in a ghostly, ghastly gore
I couldn’t see you could not take it
The sorrow I meant to erase to fake it
But instead make it
The reason I live is to sing for you
To disintegrate the swelling blue
But instead I crawled into your only space
Leaving only disgrace
The gore splattering in jewels across your face

I’ll tell you what
All my achievements are naught
They are only fakes
I am nothing without God’s grace
I spurt with illegitimate words and tunes 
That you can never face!
As if by the heaven I inspired
I am drunken with your bile
Of pride risen above the mile
What is this sadness—
This anger, this madness? 
Show me what to do
Show me what to say
I’ll dispose of all vagaries I dared to feel today
And replace it with pain
Replace it with pain

Discordance from another is my nightmare smothered
And this the majority crave
The need—the desire for acknowledgement 
We will take it to the grave
I never wanted heartless fame
A poison in a cup
I never wanted anything 
Only to fill you up

I poured the glass and there it came
Just sad, tired air
Nothing left to give you
Not even the sentiment of a stare
The truth is I am scared
The truth is I am scared
I guess, at times we are all. . .
Not there

What Do You See : Conclusion

They say God will save us....
And those who sin,
will go to hell.
The hell is the life you made for yourself...
So is the Heaven...
To die is to be dead
and be born again...

You choose your life...
You walk your road,
you fight your battles
and you carry on...

You bear a cross, you wear a crown...
We all suffer a time or two,
but it is up to us to stand strong
or fall down...

We dig our own pits...
And our carelessness results,
in us falling in one of them...

We have flaws,
nobody is perfect...
You can't look in the mirror
and say "I'm Perfect
I have no flaws..."
You're not... 
and I bet you got a skeleton
or two in your closet...

So what if I did the the things
I've done...
I did what I had to do...
Because I felt it was up to me,
to past a test...

And I've done more than anybody
could imagine...
But I've also had just cause,
to do somethings I've done...
I blame nobody but me...
For I had choices...

But for Love, I blame Love... 
Because for my test in love,
I chose to win, anothers' Heart...
But my test turned around...
But I'm like that...
I love, I'll do anything for someone,
I love...

I want a good life
and the one I love to have
a good life...
And I'll do anything,
to make it right...
Right and perfect...
No-body is perfect,
like I said before...

But I want my love to be
Perfect...
I will kill, steal, rob,
do anything to make it right...
And if anybody gets in my way,
will die...
I am very protective,
over my love of my life and child...
There will be no interference..

I believe in faithfulness,
honesty, and truth...
I hate cheaters, fakes, and liars...
But i always forgive...
But there must be an Apology,
and it must never happen again...
If so, punishment will be,
Penalty maybe announced as 
Death...

I believe, if you kill those,
whom done you wrong,
the problem will be gone...
Because those who damn you,
and never accept you
will forever give you hell...
So they must die...
I don't like being haunted,
I don't like being an object...

The world is condemned...
Everybody, Poisoned...
Even me...
But sill I have a HEART...
But I can not trust myself,
for I am a little evil...
Yet I live in my beliefs...
So I am true to my word...

Friend or Foe,
you decide how to approach me...
Either way,
I'll always greet you
with a SMILE...

Politically Correct

POLITICALLY CORRECT

                                  Now psycho politics subtly suggests
                                  that you follow this rule of polite etiquette-
                                  before you say something please pause and reflect
                                  is what you are thinking politically correct?

                                  There is a conspiracy of a powerful few
                                  to control whatever you think, say and do.
                                  It is this effect that they wish to cause-
                                  for you to think your thinking has flaws-
                                  before you say something please pause and reflect
                                  Is what you are thinking politically correct?

                                  It's a suble intrusion so slyly designed
                                  the thought of deception never enters your mind
                                  but it's someone else choosing the words
                                  you use to describe what you've seen and you've heard.
                                  When anothers words become your voice
                                  your thoughts have become anothers choice-
                                  before you say something please pause and reflect
                                  is what you are thinking politically correct?

                                  If silence is golden then gold has no use
                                  you can spend all you want and not stop the abuse.
                                  The structure is crumbling, the framework is bent
                                  and society is in downward descent-
                                  before you say something please pause and reflect
                                  is what you are thinking politically correct?

                                  Here is an epitaph as silent as death
                                  chiseled in tombstone where you're laid to rest.
                                  Please pause for a moment and pay your respects
                                  here lies a man who is politicallly correct.

Life On a Spinning Ball

Alarm clock screams, it's time to rise,
bye bye sleepy dreams, into the lows from last night's highs,
ready yourself for the line or the cubicle cage,
tell yourself you'll be fine, while you silently rage,
what new rules will come today,
avoiding the fools and the sheep that bray,
newsmen divide and your social feed echoes,
be careful with your pride or you're suffering woes,
reach for the dial and your favorite noise,
mile after mile with a secret weapon of choice,
how much longer can you keep it up,
bosses are getting younger, bereft of common sense in their coffee cup,
peso and the rupee got more value than the dollar,
dwindling value of a college degree, into the streets they scream and holler,
women acting like men and men becoming women,
asinine feelings are destroying the true feminine,
can't afford the things you want to buy,
living on a shoestring brings a heavy sigh,
us and them have increasing identity,
moans from bedlam have become normality,
T.V shows have lost the plot,
anything goes, it's nothing but rot,
advert breaks are just for big Parma,
they've got the pills for your latest drama,
another fresh face in the workplace,
someone's son or daughter sent for the slaughter,
the old are pushed aside and the youth have no pride,
tradition has begun to crumble, careful where you tread, you may tumble,
no respect for the true and too much ego for the false,
skies and seas no longer blue, people too quick to highlight your faults,
isms and phobias are handed out,
while ancient axioms are argued about,
can't help worrying about people,
hurrying and scurrying and running up the big steep hill,
so many fragile egos seeking likes and clicks,
just beggars with an empty bag of tricks,
frettin' and sweatin' what you're not gettin',
no one cares you're not thrivin' or gettin' thin,
for a cheeseburger and fries is a quick and easy meal,
instant gratification is the prize, gotta satiate the current feel,
local store sells things from foreign soil,
globalization has many hells, but who really cares of anothers sweat and cheaper toil,
keep on, keeping on, with no true goal in sight,
you're a king or a queen, not a pawn, deep down you know life isn't right.

Evissia

They say that on Ibiza
you can travel into the harbor
riding on a good or indifferent wave
and depending on the choice its made
the Island can welcome you with open arms
or four years later send you on your way

They say that on Ibiza
you can tocar la magia
and all your worries will be swept away
it’s a place for spiritual hippies
smoking weed and healing kundalinis 
and the island has a dreamy sense of space 

They say that on Ibiza
you can party till you drop
so long as you have the rave-with-all
and the drugs they’ll never stop
so long as you have the money with ya
it’s a poseures paradise of frenetic sexual cornucopia 

They say that on Ibiza
there’s a place out in the country
inbetween all the fences, gates and walls and cages
you can find a little peace there
but don’t ever try to stay there
‘cause the police will move you on
when they get the call 

Something they always say on Ibiza
is viva el turista
while empting your pockets of all your hard earned cash
and everyone is climbing one upon one anothers back
looking for some way to screw you over
on the tiny island of coppyright reserved

They say that on Ibiza
you can spend a fortune on just one night in Pacha
good time chamagne can cost you all have
and the poor girls on the street
always have to make the two loose ends of the cost of living meet

They say that on Ibiza there is a whispered rumour
of where the popstars and the actors
go to spend a quiet time
sharing their tabels with pimps and criminals
while they complain about overly expensive wine

They say that on Ibiza
the fortunes of many have come to rest
but like a garrapata sucks the fortue from
those who have nothing left
and so many cling to the illusion
to which they have been sold
never seeing that Evissia really has no soul

And there on the island of Ibiza
you will try to make your way
but you’ll end up used up
spat out anyway
everyone is struggling to make it through the winter
until it’s time to praise viva el turista
eats their hollow souls away
these are the empty people who always 
choose to stay


Jealousy

And as I dreamnt something wonderous; profoundly emdedded inside of my heart!

It somehow came to seem, as the day of reality began to unfold....

Romeo and Juliets forbidden love, of never meant to hold?

This, deeper than the deepest of all, perhaps, that has ever been known

Destroyed by a jealous enemy one day; pretending to portray more, than they may ever truly be!

Revealing, the shadows of their many faces, which, were never real at all

This child inside an adult, exposed; from the truth of their being

These glimpses along the way, that were but preludes to this day

When friendship was crushed; along with trust and faith....

Never to be repaired; not entirely; to the one in which it concerned?

Oh jealousy, what a sharpened dagger you truly are!

Grounded amid the shifting dunes; and fluttering, within these tearful winds that blow

Fragile roots, which never fully extended, into the soiled depths wherein they bed

To turn upon a beautiful light, for ones amissful and self-absorbing reasons!?

Selfish to the core; at the expense of anothers wishful and hopeful dreams....

I have no bitter reproach to say although; no judgments upon yourself shall I cast

But sympathies I do stretch forth; for the lost it seems, of your very own soul

Which is willing to take this priceless pearl; with its tender and loving kindness....

And hurl, it into the flames of your hurtful and blinding fire

Speaking volumes of where you are now; within such a saddened and somber way?!

But time as I have said afore, shall forever reveal its many tales

And yes, we all shall reap, these moments of which we have sown....

For there is no escaping within the end, that final, and ever manifesting mirror!

Of gentle treasures that once were robbed; precious dreams, that once were stole?

As turning ones back upon; to step on, their beautiful worlds; while, as you spit your words!

Yes, you do have my sympathy; within the most sincere, and profound, of ways....

Essence of Your Love

"The Essence of your Love"



    When I was just a little girl, my mother told me the classic fairytale about a handsome knight on a white horse that would come and sweep me off my feet, 
    In one precious moment our eyes would meet, our souls would become intertwined, and as one our hearts would beat.
    As I came of age, and was permitted to date. I began to speculate that I would never find my soulmate. 
    Time passed, and I became worrisome that my years were slipping by, and my prince had yet arrived.
    Had I gotten overlooked by fate, was I destined to be deprived?
    The clock did not slow down, as it continued to tick away...
    Until the tables had turned and you just appeared in my life, on the most beautiful crisp autumn day.
    Everything happened so fast, within six months we were walking down the aisle. 
    We were lost in one anothers eyes as we recited our vows, I couldn't help but smile. 
    You have made it a ritual to tell me everyday how beautiful I am, and how much you love me.
    For my heart belongs to you, the are the holder of the key. 
    The Essence of your love, allow me to tell you what this entails.
    During hard times we inhale, exhale, and then our strength and faith prevails. 
    Communication yes, that is fundamental we speak only the truth. 
    We are aware that words are weapons, therefore we have couth. 
    Side by side we stand, never in front of or behind, 
    I would chose you again, if given the chance to rewind. 
    An amazing husband, father, and bestfriend. 
    Amen, your my godsend, I intend all my living days with you to spend. 
    The Essence of your Love, still gives me butterflies in my stomach when you are near,
    Even after all this time, as we approach our tenth year. 
    I am as madly in love with you as I was early on, but a bit of contradiction because I love you more as each day passes.
    So here is a toast to, "The Essence of your Love" let us raise our glasses.

Past and Present

i have had bad in past
i hoped to god this would not last,
i made me sad and very blue
i could not believe this was true, 
now the time has come along
when a think nothing can go wrong
what the future holds for me
hope and pray it makes me happie,

never a moment to feeling down
never will be anothers clown
to walk away with a smile
to sit and say our lifes worth while,
looking at the things to come
makes me smile at heavens above,

for all the things thats meant to be
is one thing is to be happpie.
no one can say if its good or bad
no one can say if it makes you sad,

just need to keep move along
and pray my life dont go wrong,
as life is here and what,s for me
bring some things thats meant to be, 
to make me happy and also smile
making a change make life worth while, 

to sit and think where it will go
to sit and let my life flow,
to bring a smile apon my heart
to say goodbye to times i had,
for whats to come will be a change
to change my life in many ways,

may not be money or a love
may not see someone from heavens above
as no one knows what it is, 
for my life a give with a kiss, 

i sound good as you may see
as i know whats good for me, 
goodbye sad times and feeling blue
my new world i owe to you, 
for i know so good and well
time for my blues to go to hell, 
so smile along and be happy to,
as the way i feel can happen to you,

pray each day as it does go by,
for each day like white clouds in sky,
feel your heart open up,
and pray your never hurt,
taking the blues and lock them away
then you will be happy in every way,
goodbye bad times that were around,
i bury the bad times in the ground,

looking around and see what,s there,
its all the loving in the air, 
so farewell my sadness you may have caused
for it was for a love i lost,
as time heel all wounds,
a won,t be around to be your fool.
my life is loved by many around,
and the sad times are in the ground,,,

The Doubter, the Skeptic, the Believer

The doubter finds a way of not believing
Convinced they've seen the worst in man
For how can there be, one higher than me
When we've seen the world's pain and misery

They tend to focus on the sadness and the narrow
Hate to live life by anothers rule
You can't make them believe, but if they looked they could see
His miracles are all the proof that they would need

The skeptic feels lost somewhere in the middle
Questioning the very answers they hold true
They may have seen His works first hand, but the duality of man
Is what keeps them searching further for the truth

They're just a step away from crossing towards the light
Where forgiveness frees and eyes gain new sight
This is the place where most men stand, somewhere upon this fence
So in your soul may His fire ignite

The believer, may sometimes be the hardest
Cause the devil puts temptation in the way
For how can one believe, in what you cannot see
Is what they'll say as they try to deceive

The doubter, the skeptic, and the believer
If you look they're one in the same
The progressions not easy from doubter to believer
But they all share in the shame and the blame

For some it may come on their deathbed
For others with the birth of a child
Though the road may be long and arduous
He will carry you in life's last mile

If you believe, don't chastise the others
If you're a skeptic, I hope that you can find your way
But if you remain a doubter, I pray that you change
Even if it's on your last day

The skeptic, the doubter, and the believer
If you look they're one in the same
The progressions not easy from skeptic to believer
But they all share in the shame and the blame

Please ask yourself if you are wrong
What will be the price that you'll pay
If you believe, you may get lucky and see
That there's life that lives past the grave
