Run Aground

Arr, Matey! Me ship has run aground,
In this shallow world, I search for character, but none to be found.
Through me spyglass, a foggy, distant world, unclear,
This incessant devil bird squawking in me ear.
A chest full of silver, gold, and jewels galore,
But what I treasure most is a love forevermore.

Old Scars

I strip in the solitude of my room.
the mirror reflects secrets that I keep.
All the silent screams of my faint life’s doom,
visible unhealed scars  that hurt so deep.

Still I dream of you, naked in silence,
Nosy fingers deepening on my skin.
Scared of your rage when love stays in suspense,
Before your decree I  hide with my sin .

Because I know you and how do you think.
It is not your fault life made you like this.
Crying  in despair swallowing this ink, 
so your eyes don’t see holes in my abyss. 

In pain I must gulp the bitterest of drinks:
When flawed looks are heavy the ship of love sinks.

Out of the Shallowness

Chose forgiveness
Love upon our pillow
Showed us where to go
Blessed our sleep
Guided feet
God is with us
I AM trust 
Pink shirt girl
Your love is out of this world
You always held out your hand
Lord's heart took care of his lamb
You made us twinkle
Even gave us sparkle
Birds of the sky
Will always have our Father's eye
Honor to our family name
Respected the Holy reign
True love does not fade
The silent star who he has made
Jesus Christ son of David
This crown they gave him
Wrote the words above his head
Just like it was said
New love of life
Jesus Christ
Remember
Bless each other


Never Lend

I'm saving for the least important things
and haven't got a clue
While living for the things more shallow
and hoping to find new

I've taken more vacations now
than any point of view
and haven't got an inkling
as to how I'm going to do

I question why so many fight
for what is best for you
When peace means leaving things alone
will never be at due

I travel round the world cause
to help the kangaroo
Ignoring all the people drunk
I party with for two

I take myself as loyal
for the people nice to coo
And wonder what I'd do without
their love to keep me mew

I only hope the day will come
when everyone has fun
And worry that my life's run down
when others spoil my run

I hope and pray like all the rest
that never seem to end
That I one day will stop and say
exaustion's never lend

Premium Member Shallowness

dwell too long,
freshness 'tis gone
lingering on 'tis loitering
skim the top for cream
fish shallow with one 
throw of the cast net
then move on,
before the one moment
longing elsewhere 'tis gone
blessed be, the shallow 
touch and feel,
bounteous in harvest.

Premium Member The Reckoning of Shallowness

Skimming the surface of whats underneath...
The ugliness below full of secrets you keep.
Shallowness in depths of which you'll drown...
Forsaken your lies... the jewels of your crown.

Imagery and reflection of which you seek...
Your mirrored canvas is nothing but weak!
You paint a picture of beauty and flare...
But your soul bears all... and it's empty in there!

Morality and ethics are foreign to you...
In living a fantasy... you do as you do.
Like all others, your day will come...
Karma will compensate for all that's done.

So the path you take will be your reward...
Is this a payment you can really afford?
You can't turn back time for the damage that's done...
But correcting your ways is half a battle won!


All Shallowness Aside

When I see you I really see you. When I look into your eyes I get a glimpse of your 
soul. Before the appearance and before I started really noticing how cute you 
were there was everything else. Like the way you can make me smile the way no 
one else can. The way that you can touch me and my body gets a million shivers. 
So all shallowness aside I want what's on the inside. I wanted your heart, I 
wanted your soul way before I started noticing the other things. We used to fight 
like brother and sister. I used to not be able to stand you. But oh so suddently 
that bickering turned into liking. Something different. It turned into something 
deeper. Your the first guy I've liked for something besides what's on the outside. 
When i'm around you everything feels right. All shallowness aside. I want you for 
all the right reasons. It's not lust. Even though I tremble from the touch of your 
fingertips. It's so much more than just a crush. So all shallowness aside. 
Honestly I don't know what this is. But it's something more.
