Busco Palabras Para Ti

Bosco palabras para ti
Decirte lo que siento
Fallo pero es culpa de mi
Es especial no miento

Cómo te lo puedo decir
Bosco palabras para ti
A veces te hago reír
Pero otros lugares fui

Perfecto no dije que si
Sufro en este momento
Bosco palabras para ti
Cómo salgo del tormento

Me das una esperanza
Tu nombre en ti ya la ví
Ojalá que me das chanza
Buscar las palabras por tí

Friends From Work

Friends from work they're still friends aren't they
For me that's a positive yes
Hello and a smile make your day
Hi Wayland is the very best

Now missing work takes away some joy
Friends from work they're still friends aren't they
Sometimes they make me say oh boy
My love for them is clear not gray

What more can i possibly say
We all have problems yes indeed
Friends from with they're still friends aren't they
For further proof there is no need

I look forward to my return
With no health issues in my way
And more about them I hope to learn
Friends from work they're still friends aren't they

What It Is

                       

It isn't what it isn't and it never can be
Thinking otherwise will  lead you astray 
I let you be you and I can only be me

So many things to share you cannot see
I want to see you in a different way
It isn't what it isn't and never can be

Time is always slipping away from me
I can't decide what I now need to convey
I let you be you and I can only be me

All my experiences now a very vast sea
My own heart I promise  not to betray
It isn't what it isn't and it never can be

I hear you sing,, nailed it ,I think with glee
Hoe, girl, and what else will you say
I let you be you and I can only be me

Only one final message I can decree
My feelings grow for you day after day
It isn't what it isn't and it never can be
I let you be you and I can only be me

What Happened To Us

We only began to know what could be
And already it seems things must end
Time changes people even you and me

I guess there never really existed a we
 Strangers now before you were a friend
We only began to know what could be

In the end once again it's only I you see
No more thoughts of hope will I send
Time changes people even you and me

Every day this world loses more glee
Everything breaking nothing will mend
We only began to know what could be

I am a boat and loneliness is my sea
I can't keep  sailing against the wind
Time changes people even you and me

What will be in my final fading decree
I try to break the wall but you don't bend
We only began to know what could be
Time changes people even you and me

Patience My Friend

Tried by fire one could easily fall to the flame
But you endure and will come out stronger in the end
Sometimes the road doesn't leave us the same

Is this due to weakness or who is too blame
What is broken possibly will never fully mend
Tried by fire one could easily fall to the flame

In the course of events is where we play the game
We will be challenged to which direction do we tend
Sometimes the road doesn't leave us the same

In the end of our trials we can ultimately end in shame
Our morals and beliefs like dust in the wind
Tried by fire one could easily fall to the flame

However my friend in the end you gain your fame
Of your faith, hope, dreams and conscience you do not lend
Sometimes the road doesn't leave us the same

Triumphant, courageous, steadfast, all associated with your name
The very things you hold dear you don't break nor bend
Tried by fire one could easily fall to the flame
Sometimes the road doesn't leave us the same

The Casualties of War - Collab Contest

Walk with pride, with your head held high
Conflict and war is not your fault
Face turns away whilst tears you cry.

You can't understand this, who knows why,
When will all these emotions finally halt 
Walk with pride, with your head held high

You were called to fight to kill or die
Highly trained killer with senses taut
Face turns away whilst tears you cry

No moral standard on which you can rely
You're own conscience now begins its assault
Walk with pride with your head held high

Time for your memories to heal that’s why
You need a guilt free mind no more bad thoughts
Face turns away whilst tears you cry

A certain sense of pride you cannot deny 
Your own existence you begin to exalt
Walk with pride, with your head held high 
Face turns away whilst tears you cry.

A Moment of Thought - Grab Your Partner Collaboration

A moment of thought we now share
Twisting itself around your heart
Into the future now I stare 
Dreaming of tomorrow's fresh start 

Don't know exactly what it is
A moment of thought we now share
Began when we had that first kiss
Showing me that you really care

Nothing in my soul says beware
No warnings of the heart felt pain
A moment of thought we now share
How long will fantasy remain

Where does it end, the path unknown
I reach out to you, you're not there
Only part of me have I shown 
A moment of thought we now share

Inhaling the Sea

The scent of freedom
An epic journey begins
The sea to my face
My back to the blowing winds
Uncertainty breeds new life

When I Ruled the World

I remember when I held the world in these hands
Nothing out of reach as I self proclaimed my power
That time long forgotten the hourglass lost it’s sand

Yes I lived in a world of deadlines and demands
  A master of time, always early at least half an hour
I remember when I held the world in these hands

Always alert sensing my victory before my stand
Any obstacle or objection I would quickly devour
That time long forgotten the hourglass lost it’s sand

Is there anything left of that person, maybe a strand
It’s not from any fear, but indifference that I cower
I remember when I held the world in these hands

For this tragic change I could have never planned
Everything that tasted so sweet is now bitter and sour
That time long forgotten the hourglass lost it’s sand

Almost six years later, I still cannot understand
In the late hours of night, I’m left to now scour
I remember when I held the world in these hands
That time long forgotten the hourglass lost it’s sand

Premium MemberMissing

All those laughs I have been missing
Why is my life so serious?
A world wrapped, in so much happy
Should make my mind delirious 

I take myself too serious
All those laughs I have been missing
It seems too funny I'm immune
For those laughs my soul is wishing

A sense of humor hidden deep
It bubbles to the very top
All those laughs I have been missing
I laugh and laugh and can not stop

The years of laughter I saved up
On my funny bone they're kissing
I try and try and can not stop
All those laughs I have been missing

Where Is the Light - Team Work Contest Poem 2

Poem 2 for the teamwork contest

Where is the light that lived within 
Why has the flame of doubt appeared 
The trees bend slightly in the wind 
Towards darkness now have you veered
 
Focus on the things dear to you 
Where is the light that lived within 
Your day will come before it's through, 
You that have lived not died with sin. 

Deep in your soul you seek therein 
The pleasures that should not have been 
Where is the light that lived within 
Questions of how this came and when
 
How long have you abandoned life
What have you done where have you been
Will you choose to remain in strife
Where is the light that lived within

Where Is the Light - Team Work Contest Poem 2

Where is the light that lived within,
Why has the flame of doubt appeared.
The trees bend slightly in the wind
Towards darkness, now have you veered.

Focus on the things dear to you,
Where is the light that lived within.
Your day will come before it's through,
You that have, not died, with sin.

Deep in your soul, you seek therein
The pleasures, that should not have been.
Where is the light that lived within.
Questions of how this came and when

How long have you abandoned life
What have you done, where have you been,
Will you choose to remain in strife
Where is the light, that lived within.

Re-Awakened - Team Work Contest Poem 1

Her heart stirred, she smiled
                                             looking at the face she loved.
                                             His eyes mirrored hope
                                             remembering their lost love
                                             crushed by fate, re-awakened

Near the Star I Travel

Not a place that no man has traveled before
To think so would be ridiculous at the least
What will I find, what can there be in store

My crew hope, affection, sympathy and more
Each member plays there part in the big piece
Not a place that no man has traveled before

Why travel to unknown places, what is it for
The unknown and insecurity, wait like a beast
What will I find, what can there be in store

That place of famous legends and all the lore
Just seeking a strange new world of peace
Not a place that no man has traveled before

Looking always inside searching my own core
Is there any sign of life or only the deceased
What will I find, what can there be in store

In this new civilization will I stand in rapport
Or am I just a prisoner waiting to be released
Not a place that no man has traveled before
What will I find, what can there be in store

Happy Birthday Lorena

Of the laurel tree your name is derived
Honor and victory are contained therein
Complete happiness has been deprived
Your victory, where is it, and also when

Patience, all good things to those in wait
Suffering like everything else must fade
Compassion is definitely your great trait
In the calm waters of kindness you wade

Lorena, your dedication was long overdue
A great friend, and inspiration you provide
Sympathy and motivation ringing through
Leaving an eternal bond I feel deep inside

Although many have the capacity to be-friend
You're a special person, now and until the end


By Wayland Bunch
Happy Birthday Lori, poem belated but I hope you had
a great birthday..	Thanks for always listening and being
patient and unselfish in your tough times. You're a great
friend I'm.lucky to have.
