The maestros affair was very slick
but one night he forgot the lipstick
wife took one peek
saw lipstick on his cheek
saying its now time to face the music.

LOVE RIDDEN
I SWALLOW
MY DIGNITY
FADE INTO THE CORNER
MAKE MY WAY
AROUND THE CIRCLE
A CAROUSEL OF REGRETS
FACE THE MUSIC
I'M BLINDED
BY YOUR CHARM
IN LOVE WITH LOVE
HOPEFUL
BUT I'VE HEEDED NOTHING
LOST IN YOUR EYES
I FELL INTO THE DEEP END....

Eye of illusion
The construction of sight
Whatever u see 
And whatever you tried
Wish to see
Is your own construction
But leaving the watchfull eye
 To face the music 
and turning reality to 
Imaginary so tarnish
The actuality Vanishes
So what remains…...

Keeping secrets behind your back
It’s what I’m good at
But how long can I keep this up? 
Before having to face the music? 
The secrets cross my heart
I Hope to die
To die in this sin of secrets
To die in confusion
To die knowing you can’t find out
To die a liar
To die a hypocrite
To die a secret keeper....

your smile
your strength
your drive
determination
keeps my skies clear 
inspires me
lifts my spirits
gives me courage
to face the music
the uncertainty
you're my guiding star
into the night

Face the music 
By Michelle Morris 
08/05/2024

We all have to face the music 
We all have to do our time 
Experience and wisdom gained
As we move with the rhythm and rhymes 

We all have to face the music 
Each one of us has our role to play 
If we make the most of our journey 
We'll grace Heaven in Light one day

An Oscar Indian

 

Second, Yes! that is gold

Announced Indian for Oscar

His efforts and hardships

Raised Her flag in Hollywood

 

His smiling face and music

Has crowned her in the midst of globe

Claps of the world

Honoured Her as queen

I am  flying, flying here and there

To share his feeling of that second

Dejected in love
                         I act in defiance of,
                          yet face the music
                      Why not look into my face,
                      Embrace panoptic passion !

Parched his desert shawl, and all these writings on the wall ?
Sitting atop her pillow as gazing through, this window; city skies
While baby yawns then rubs their blurry eyes; waking, to a lullaby.. 
Crowned the ceiling, trimmed of gold; as silver stars, it's paper holds
Teddy smiles and infants laugh; crawling past, his crimson hat ? Sunlight
Joy's pink giraffe; making haste to kiss her face a music box, in love's display....

Mind soaked with thoughts
Slow in the move soughts
consume every peny of time
Wondering around spill wine
Turning the system of nerve slow down
Like a furious anger overflow down
What a fuss in the meantime potash alum
Slowing the tick tock motion of pendulum 
In thw sunshine dusk appearence in vision
Blurred the path down in a mid sun
O peace in the senerio gone
Switch off the  mind not on
to face the music tone....

Let's face the Music
whether or not it rains
whether or not it's snowing
The music's the same
let's face the music anyways

Let's face the music
and, then
play it all over again
Sing along
to Jesus
my heart belongs

He'll face the music
with me
this we will live
I'll live it with thee

Let's face the music
and, then
Live, throughout eternity
and, then
peace and happiness
begins

the answer will free us from a together bliss
in sought after rich harmony spread your wings
I found my way by your spirit God send it free
you captivated it with a release in the heart
today we wait on God like sugar and spice
leaving behind not the slightest hint of the outcome
you are the sound out of the darkness you come to us
Lord fill us with a love bath quench the desire from within
each new day we face the music
Trust in Jesus...

Let’s not waste a single minute
Of this blessing that we’re given
Let’s be happy now today
Today is all we’ve got
Tomorrow’s not guaranteed
Let’s not worry for a minute
Tomorrow may never come
And if it does
There’ll be plenty of time
To worry then
We’ll face the music as it comes
Let’s be happy now today
Let’s not waste a single minute
Of this blessing that we’re given
Let’s be happy now today
