Life

Life is worth living.
It holds the secrets that no-one knows 
Forever it will be supporting you
Everyday for Eternity.

Confidence

I am always on course 
Living life with no remorse 
Life is like a push and pull force
You only get back what you toss

Lovely and Lush Living Plush

Was both lovely and lush,
Living in someplace plush,
She saw me,
With much glee,
Now on her have a crush.

Living in the zoo
hunting in the jungle
Dying in the space between

Always trying to stay ahead in races.

And smiles that don’t reach the eyes.

Living in your grace is all I need 
as I perch onto your morning  
all is given, all is driven 
from your heart to mine

I tried
to tell her
not to resort
to slum
dating
and living

but she just
did not see
the queen
she was
inside.

Living In Tragedy

I'm living in tragedy,
Whimpers of cries,
Catches my eyes,
Fog up my vision,

 Once played a soldier on the big screen
 But he turned to booze and women
Living large on Two and a Half Men

Living In Virtue

fighting evil
alone and without reason
it's a waste of time
even superior,
is resist temptation
practicing virtue... !

Were released 
Were redeemed 
I bathed in living water
White towel wore me

Stirring up fire and brimstone too

Burn our bones, buried
Deep in the cemetery.
Pray for the restless
Ghosts among the living dead:
Awaken those far ahead.
