How fortunate to know 
a chairwomen who sings.
One scrupulous in nature and 
conductor of our being.
 
We the railings. 
She the baluster.
For we know where we stand with her
ascending or descending....

You look like something I drew with my left hand
And I'm bilingual, but I'm sure you know where I stand
Don't mean to offend
But invert to your other end
Most assuredly you'll be much more in demand...

At a stand still
So different to stillness 
Having standing so different
To being told to stand

Walk on, so different to walking off
I don't know where I stand
I'm chaos wrapped in stillness
Not walking anywhere

So I lay here
Letting my mind talk
It chooses riddles
Because feet need to speak...

Inside of your cerebrum
Dark Angels reside
  After you have spent your
 energy during a hectic day
Dark Angels will dance in 
   your head 
They will speak to you 
  Let you know where you stand
  Those Dark angels speak the truth 
  You had better take note of them 
or face bitter consequences
The war within
               must come to an end...

People always tell me that I look alright,
That my visage is a very pleasant sight,
But why, then, when I look at my reflection,
Do I only see a monstrous complexion?

I try telling myself that this isn’t true,
For I know I have it better than most do,
And when I look around to see their faces
I know I must stand out in the right places....

beyond my beautiful reflection there is self
acceptance make it clear for the misconceptions
of the one's who assume from their perception
and make handouts of their rejections.

I know who I am I know where I stand I'm
determined to expand to be in command
it's in my demand I will continue to rise looking
down on the hateful eyes never will I be what
you expected nor am I here to be accepted....

Deep down in here
where no sun shines
my gentl side
wants to be released
and then show compassion
to others, but th edarkness
inside of me, controls
all that can help my
compassionayte side
to break free
and show my true self
and let the whole wide world
know that I stand against
it, in hopes of changing
what could ce
the worst mistake
of the whole wide world,
with is killing their brothers...

_everyday I close my eyes to picture you
_putting a smile on my face cause you 
love me too
_I can't help but replay the moment 
of arms wrapped around me 
tight
_like a movie with stars that live
in the bright light
_you took me for me so I don't have
to run and hide
_I know your gonna stand by my
side
_at night when the sun is sleeping, 
the moon is painting pictures in my
mind
_as I softly lay in my bed...

She Waits with wanton desires 
It's been six months out to sea

She read from his words 
He did not disappoint  her 

Words of love & lust dripped 
From Lavender scented pages

She longed to read those words 
Seemed forever and a day 

You know where to stand 
Where I can see all of your glory

Do not wash, I dream of your smell 
So there she stood  "waiting "
 For the captain of her heart!

It's my first day of school
I know what to wear
It's something amazing
Something with flare

I wear my green flat shoes
And my polka dotted tights
My red and purple hula skirt
That has forty flashing lights

I wear my striped t-shirt
With a picture of a clown
I wear my golden shoulder pads
And a belt from out of town

I wear my purple sweater
And my diamond necklace too
I know that i stand out
Cause' I don't look just like you...

I don’t know if you’re pushing me away or pulling me closer
I don’t know where I stand
I don’t know what you want from me
Or if you care at all

Your words lash out and hurt
Then lovingly draw me in
I don’t know what you want from me
Do you want this to end

Don’t turn tables
Or place this on me
Just come out and tell me
What it is you want

I can’t read minds
I don’t know where I stand
Are you pushing me away
Or are you going to finally let me in...

She walks like rain,
Beauty asunder .
Filled with so much pain,
She moves like thunder .

Her hearts been scorn,
An she's been used .
Forever be warned,
These words be true .

When I look at her,
It breaks my heart .
Please don't bother,
She's a work of art .

A rose cannot compare,
To her beauty .
I am fully aware,
She can be quite moody .

I'm not a man,
If I don't at least try .
I know where I stand,
Please don't make me cry ....

Standing banana 

You know why it stand 
You know what it search 
You know why it gives me trouble 
You know why it wants you 
You know why it begs you 
You know why it scratch me 
You know why it called your name 
You know when it gets down 
You know when it's goes in 
You know when I hold you 
You know when you kiss me 
You know what to do 
You know what is it 
You know I know why it called standing Banana 

With love all

If you throw two pennies up in the air
and one lands in the sewer and the other
with care..

If you then throw two people up in the air
and one lands on there feet and the other in despair..

The pennies has no mind or choice to how it lands..
The person has choices and a mind to know how to stand..

In life I have followed greed and I followed lust..
Now I follow peace and love which brings me trust..

I don’t know if you’re pushing me away or pulling me closer
I don’t know where I stand
I don’t know what you want from me
Or if you care at all

Your words lash out and hurt
Then lovingly draw me in
I don’t know what you want from me
Do you want this to end

Don’t turn tables
Or place this on me
Just come out and tell me
What it is you want

I can’t read minds
I don’t know where I stand
Are you pushing me away
Or are you going to finally let me in...

Why couldn’t I have met you, 
Such a long time ago?
Why couldn’t we fall in love,
And let everyone know?
Why do I sit here thinking of you,
When we could be together,
And make our life anew?
Why is destiny so cruel,
Not to bring us together?
It seems like a rule,
Just like stormy weather.
I look into your eyes,
The eyes of an angel.
There is no surprise,
I am so thankful,
To have seen your face,
To look into your heart,
To know where you stand,

Why are we apart?...

A silhouette of pure perfection
As I watch your shadow smile
Your shadow shows me no rejection
And I cannot feel denial

Our shadows ever holding hands
As I follow close behind
Standing closely where it stands
For it never seems to mind

Brought together by the sun
Like many times before
I ponder on the things we've done
Til our shadows meet once more

I know we'll never stand a chance, to ever know romance
But I'll be okay, if everyday, I can watch our shadows dance...

On a moving treadmill
we are pushed towards 
   an untimely end
     Yet the sun beats 
down its life giving rays 
    Streams and rivers 
continue to flow 
   We should be thankful 
for the mercy of the days 
   and the mercy of heaven 
A cool breeze from the east 
   lets us know where we stand 
Perhaps a song in the 
   distance 
  will reach our ears 
We are not alone!
   Poetry cuts into our souls
like a hot knife through butter 
We should be thankful for small mercies...

Every road has a song,
   no matter how short are how long,
either way your wrong,
   or you don`t belong.

Like they know 
    where you`ll go,
how your love will grow,
     how high are how low,,
 
I am who I am,
  not running in sand,
      needing a helping hand,
         I know where I stand.
God gave me heart,
   Mom made me smart, 
     now life is merely art.

So get up when knocked down,
  grin don`t frown,
    stay sound,
      this is my life look what I found....
