Still waters run deep...
Then why are there so many shallow people?

But its in the journey I find the strength
I hear lost souls cry out
These are more than just words that I think

If Someone Loves You
A cover’s no way to judge a book
The first few words is all it took
To open up the memory chest
Of a dark past so long suppressed.

Like a dog let off its lead
The words are sticks...

A wolf dressed down in a Grey t-shirt
A charlatan 
A person who would steal intellectual property from his fiends 
To meet his own ends

And yelled that it was my fault.

Lock Me Up...
If it's a crime to love you,
lock me up, key and all!

When I no longer need it
For it might make another’s day
If he’d the chance to read it.

I made a giant stack-up.

There’s no smoking gun

Premium Member I Read the Books
I read the books, the books I read.
they draw my eye, they meet my need.
I drink the words that fill the page,
explore the worlds authors engage,

I ride the tides swept by the moon,
