Elsewhere

I need inspiration…
But I don’t know where to find some.
I’ve been told to look across the horizon
And down a hall somewhere
But I still haven’t found any
So I guess I’ll keep looking elsewhere


Be Safe With Me

each place in time
holds fast and true
when I look across the room to you
our thoughts are one
I know what you are
how you think
what's next
a secret from the rest of mankind
we have our ways 
you and I
we have our ways.

My How Time Flys

In a downtown bar on New Year’s Eve
Had a few stiff ones and so did Steve

“Look across the bar Steve, but don’t stare
You see those two old drunks over there”

“That could be you and I, in ten years”
“That’s a mirror Chuck, I’m outta here! “

I Fly With All My Might

A crimson tide is coming,
forcing me to fly.
I put my wings in motion,
this world is mine.
From the deep waters of the sea 
to the skies over mountains.
I look across the water.
The lovely solace of every grain of sand,
brings me to a life altering land.

Can Books Stand Tall

I look across the room in hope
Few books, a rope
I tie them all, 
Afraid to fall

Experiences are to climb
Ladder of time
Yet I tie books
Soldiers at crooks

Books are my weapons at combat
But Life is brat
The pages tear
All left is fear

Premium Member God Gifts Me Another Day

God peeks through the clouds
His eyes shining with pride
Glad about the cool, clear water
Excited about gifting us a fresh new day.
I look across Lake Michigan and meet God’s gaze
Feeling beloved, as he instills joy into my heart
And encourages the lake to bring me peace
I feel optimistic and revitalized.

Tomorrow 7-6-02

As I look across the sky
With waves lapping at my feet
I saw shades of yellow, pink,
and red acorss the summer sky.
Them the sky was dark
and the stars bright.
My heart felt light as air
But as the wind began to blow,
I turned around and walked away
Without a single look back
to what I left,
but to only to
what's ahead of me.

Both Sides

I look across our nation wide
… saddened by the view
Hopes and dreams in shattered heaps
Smoldering and askew.

Trust is lost, alliance gone,
Handshakes no longer known
Doubt and suspicion there
Normalcy’s been outgrown.

Both political realms
Must see what they have done
For in the final tally …
Neither of them have won.

My Confession

all is well as well is all
october ends with summers fall
at least in my eyes I see
from as far as far as me
I look across the room at thee
the darkness eyes as black as see 
at night they are a silent sound
calm and inviting her soul is bound
I wish to have her soul as I demand
but not as possession 
but a close friend

this is my confession...

Hide and Seek in Our Dreams

In a waking sweat,
I look across a pillow
and see your peaceful face,
undisturbed by nightmares.

What does your mind dwell upon,
the saints of paradise or another man,
a well-endowed handsome man,
some 'son of a '
who might steal you away from me?

I turn away to stare at a wall
imagining a dream girl,
one I had secretly left naked
on this very bed only last night.

Golden Paradise

The flowers bloom,
the air blows,
the sun will be out soon,
and then it shows.

The wind sweeps across the land,
it whispers in my ear:
It’s out at last!
The sun is here!

I look across beyon the mountains,
and on to the vast seas,
sunrays shoot out like fountains,
with radiant beams.

The water acts like a mirror,
reflecting neon lights,
everything is clearer,
like a golden paradise.

My Wish Came True...

Sitting in the looking at the sky..
the next thing I know is that there is a shooting light..

I look across the sky and I made a wish and I thought to myself what will happen after this..

Next day came I woke up and there was this man in my way telling to "wake up baby I'm home
today"...

I looked at him and he said "baby I need you"...
I said to him "you are my come true!!!"

Curtain Up

Out on the edge of something bigger than I

Not looking behind me I can’t reason why

It’s a matter of faith; it’s a matter of fact

I have to go now, I have to act

I cannot wait any longer my time has come

Will it go quickly, asking, have some

No fear I feel as I get prepared

I look across, the others seem scared

One final breath I take as I go

I’m on; it’s my turn, start up the show

Perception of Angles

By the reflection of I;
the sun thought with.

If to look across the bay, 
shadows crept with contemplation.

I scorned and led into falsities,
with blind glare of self.

Yet the whole was a-part
and the shine became weary.

In knowing, I departed to
the unlit dock,across.

Many travels recently with dim, still 
never let my mind see all.

For if, the Reflection upon 
was the same as the other.

The Sea

The silence

The still calm of the deep

The world is asleep and the only sound is that of the water
Lapping at the beach

No-one exists but the sea and I
Nothing has ever existed nor ever will

All past and future are gone and all that is left
Is this moment, as I look across the calm water
To the horizon

The infinite sea stretches out before me
Time and I are enveloped

Now nothing exists

But the sea

The Single Tear

How do we write about the single tear when all seems lost 
And you look across and see that person whom you do know 
as they shed one lonely tear Shrug say nothing and carry on
It's in that moment people of soul 
See the untold wealth and feelings of the owner of the single tear
It then you know the power of the tear 
It contains emotion s by the score 
It's as if we open some secret door 
The single tear says it all

Nature

I want to look across a crystal lake
Up to a never ending blue sky
As the mountains turn to crimson 
And  the sun sets in the western lie

I want to breathe the air in deeply
As the wind blows off the sea
And hear the waves as they break on the grey rocks 
Where the gulls soar and dive so free 

I want to feel the cold crisp air  before it rains
As the clouds blow in and boil
Knowing the land is renewing 
While the rain wets the dry crusty soil.

Soul of An Eagle Life of a Penguin

Soaring in my mind above the blue skies.
Warmth penetrating across my brow.
Diving to feel a cool breeze and soaring again
On strong wings. Time is no importance while on top today.

I look across the vast sea and know I can swim fast and free.
I float, dart and flipper my way to this destination. 
Mostly content though when I gaze upward...
Fleeting thoughts of discontentment come as flashes of light.
My dream...to soar as an eagle, majestic, across the sky.

City Insight

Look across the horizon
See the glare of the lights 
Hear the soft wind and the echoing cars 
I tilt my head up to the sky 
The stars so bright 
I close my eyes
Then all of a sudden 
The wind wraps its arms around me
I think of your embrace 
And the echoing cars turn into your gental whispers
The stars become your eyes glistening so strong
I think oh how i miss you 
What id give to be you 
Staring at the moon both trading galient smiles 
I think how lucky am i to have you
