The Big Oak Tree

 Bullets scream above my head
Rifles pointed in all directions
Earth and shrapnel pound my helmet
My gun is hot and almost empty
The trench has deteriorated, it's vulnerable
We all desperatly crawl for safety
Heading towards the big oak tree
Minutes are an eternity in the merciless mud
While being picked off one by one
I'm almost there my oh sweet haven
Refuge is only feet away
Everyone made it to the big oak tree
As fellow soldiers cheer the way
Assuming i'm the last and almost free
Then i hear a cry say help me please!
Not too far there sits a man
Surrounded by gunfire in his direction
Tears are flowing down his cheeks
Turning around i swiftly crawl
I grab his hand and yell lets go!
Preparing myself to face it all
Grenades are thrown and knock us down
I stood him up and we begin to run
Ignoring the metal in our legs
Our eyes are locked on the big oak tree
Yet in the distance i see a gun
Pointing at him the guy in front
I push him down into the mud
A powerful noise pierced the air
We both go down with a thud
He rolls me over onto my back
Applying pressure to my chest
And drags me to the big oak tree
My vision blurred i faintly see
Everyone is surrounding me
I feel someone grab my hand
Covered in shades of red
My mouth is filled with the taste of iron
I struggle to breathe i cannot swallow
With my final breath i softly say
"I finally made it to the big oak tree."

Circle of Seasons

 Cold breeze darkens day
Until fading winter sleeps
Spring season awaits

A Piece of Wisdom

Don't forget to thank your enemies for making you a better person.

Invisible

To be seen but never noticed
Like a ripple in the water
That dissapears before your eyes

Blunder

 It all begins with a notion
That transforms into erosion
Then follows with some confusion

I don't want your temptation
You were never my creation
Accomplice of my suffocation

Throughout my nightmares i have dreamt
I won't have a final attempt
Evading your divulged contempt

Searching for a simple target
I am unwilling to forget
Attracting me like a magnet

It's not easy to stop pretending
Hard to protect what your defending
To be forever condescending

I am not the one to complain
Furious eyes full of disdain
You're impossible to sustain

You were never close to being right 
Second chances slowly dim the light
You are nothing but an oversight

Be My Butterfly

The sunset glows and no one knows it's you
Don't be afraid
The stressful day has pulled you away from love
Once again
All the shade will slowly fade in time
Behind your eyes

You try so hard, it falls apart
Hold on tight with all your might
Extended arms open wide

Be my butterfly
Take flight butterfly
Fly high butterfly

The moonlight stares while taking care of you
Through the night
Every tear you cry a distant star will die
Until you sleep
A shooting star is what you are to me
I promise you

You try so hard, it falls apart 
Hold on tight with all your might
Extended arms open wide

Be my butterfly
Take flight butterfly
Fly high butterfly

Before you wake the morning waits for you
With a smile
A great release of graceful peace arised
Inside your heart
You begin to stand with both your hands held high  
Stretched to the sky

You try so hard, it falls apart
Hold on tight with all your might
Extended arms open wide

Be my butterfly
Take flight butterfly
Fly high butterfly

Wonderland

  No way out one way in
My pulse is wearing thin
Crudeness, followed by my beaten feet
There was a reason for us to meet
I tell you now i tell you then
I love you, i repeat again and again
Cliche is my middle name
Fighting to win this wicked game
I talk so you shall listen
Eyes of pearls begin to glisten 
Frozen, emotionless you remain
You and me i proclaim
A choice you soon must make
A tragic risk i'm willing to take
Follow me and i will show
A lifetime you have never known
I am here you are there 
Trust me now it's only fair
Believe in me as i believe in you
Feel this love it's ever true
I am the future he's the past
Staying with him will fail to last
You deserve an honest man
Someone who will know and understand
Fates with us not with him
I will prove that love can swim
Leave that Grinch you hold so dear
When you do I'll be waiting here
He won't wait unlike me
Off in the distance i will be
With a rose by a well you will see me stand
Across the decaying bridge to wonderland

Hide To Seek

 Is this for real?
Fight to conceal
Focus on how to escape
No more time to contemplate
You are on a winning streak
Figured out you gotta hide to seek
Life is a game it's your turn
If you lose, everyone will learn
Break right through stone cold eyes
Leave them dead with surprise 
You are hidden, no one knows
Confusion saves your deadly foes
Curiosity takes a peek
Wonders why you gotta hide to seek
Picking them off one by one
Hoping you'll be the only one
It's so quiet your breath is loud
Worried they're gonna find you now
Your mind races what to do
Soon your face is turning blue
You are blind, your voice is lost
How will you pay for the cost?
They will catch you, don't make a peep
I am your eyes while you hide and seek

Two Hearts

A womans heart is as deep as the ocean
The heart of man is the land that surrounds it

Insight of Value

 Appreciate the bright blue sky
For days grow dark through weary eyes
Breathing in the crisp clean air
Instead of wandering in despair

Smile wide with open arms
Without the thought to withdraw
Enjoy the aroma of a rose
Instead of worrying about the thorns

Be a generous giver
And not think about the cost
Have a heart that's rich
Instead of one that's bitter

Understanding the aspect of time
Isn't by glancing at the clock
Patience, the present is your future
Instead of wallowing in the past

Stay wise and you will see
The fool you used to be
Confessing all your faults
Rises you to your best
