Windows Apart

She slips away silently, to escape mothers screams
And crawls so softly, into bed, into dreams

His dreams became so dark
Left them to his escape into the dark
To dream open eyes outside window 
Across his vision he saw as light lost its flicker 

Loss for air she lay, sobbing away sorrow
But she felt invaded, grasping in surprise's horror
So close these shattered mirrors lay
A soft curious cry,a leaf blow away
Together now their halos became so clear
The coping of bewildered souls to share

He slips away silently, to escape his skeleton's haunts
And crawls softly, into new arms, to cure a world of wants

Today's Future

Goodbye
To tomorrows
To sunrises and sweet dew
And cool mist, a deep lulling hush
Goodbye

Can I Sing To You

Can i sing to you to lure you home
share with you something that's all my own
go beyond the limitations of our phase before
cementing this renewed relationship in a songster allure
Baby, can i sing to you to lure you home

I really thought i could just play this deck of mine
yes i know what i sang afortime
Singing baby i just wanna love
please baby don't fall in love with me
I'm just a man who's intentions are good
please lord don't make me misunderstood
While i sang to the others in the same voice
Its just the things we do between me and you
she don't have to, no she don't gots to know
But baby i can change, yes i can change
cause each day gets better i just cant let you go
and each kiss get sweeter i just cant leave you no
Oh baby when the sun comes up
save room for my love, save a little
Baby I'm coming home,
feel like I've been everywhere
But we just ordinary people,
maybe we should just take it slow
You got me so high, feels like I'm flying on cloud nine
and only heaven knows, baby please be mine
Cause i keep tossing and turning all night,
cant keep you outta my sight
Baby lets just go to the park,
i wanna kiss you underneath the stars
Here is where we'll have our start
swimming away from all these sharks

Can i sing to you to lure you home
share with you something that's all my own
go beyond the limitations of our phase before
cementing this renewed relationship in a songster allure
Baby, can i sing to you to lure you home

I'M Not Sorry I'M Bad

We are in love with these insane streets- 
because it keeps us sane, replaces the pain, 
The overwhelming pain, this burden- 
you left for me to carry when you left me and mom in the rain 
Alone to fend for ourselves or die- 
in this treacherous place and mom 
She was just too innocent to get this- 
this trial to cope with at a early age 
You didn't even to go to jail- 
as if that would make this any better 
Never wanted this responsibility- 
and oh Savior how i was enraged 
Even though mom left too to seek- 
out life that could make living better 
And stranded again I was- 
with people who never knew to teach love 
I hated you for that and even though- 
 you've made strides towards mending 
This soul of a son you left- 
I'm not sorry you left, I hate no more 
For without it i'd be lost for sure 
These streets that don't care to kill 
But loved and hugged me rugged with chill 
I'm glad you both did your mistakes to mold me 
And I'm not sorry I'm bad, Let God scold me

A Coat of Banter

Your tree limbs have been good friends with time
Stretched over the watery deep
Surrounded by decay as snow fell in the winter-time
The earth seemed jaded slow brown in its creep
Up to your strong roots as if dependent
On your overwhelming determination
Not to give up every minute spent
Giving love whether true, tainted or infatuation
You are a Marvel of creation

The snow's cold stayed a bit from you
Respecting your perseverance
At times i dream clearly of you
Happy, helpful, caring, steeped in your vigilance
As if you have to do all these things
A ransom you pay for the extra time you've spent
Adorning yourself in life's frills
Giving your all in everything laying patient
You are a Marvel of creation

In celebration of your days we all came
Flowing in from life's treacherous chill we resign
Our hearts smiling as we bask in fame
Cause you are of no ordinary design
This rough life seems only to blossom
Your flowerless tree branches
Grasping why we cannot begin to fathom
Giving you new reasons to peer into these trenches
Changing our lives with warmth, if that alone
You are a Marvel of Creation

I Promise Nothing

I Promise Nothing & No Flaws


I've sinned in my dreams
And lived them out like movie reels
Tape of my life scattered in others memories
Sometimes abandoned by its creator as trivialities
Let's dream, make movies, share memories, no flaws

I've crushed their hopes
And ripped from them fantasies
Given them all what they thought was needs
Truly only pleasing myself leaving them with pains
Hold my hopes, fulfill my fantasies, be my needs, no flaws

I've stolen everything dear
And walked out lovingly with care
Being friendly right away without fear
As if I deserve their admiration after giving you a tear
Be my dear, for you I'll care, give you my all without fear, no flaws

Raindrops

The rain marched uniformly as an army in its prime
But this was no ordinary army along too came their band
They marched with a song so calming to hear
It changed in slopes and meanders as it made its way down
They were the ones who woke you and they soon removed your frown
You sat and listened as their song changed soothing you out of sleep
One by one they marched on with their tune down the slope
They were an army never to march again but soldiered on
An army of many and army of one… purpose
It's the army that resurrects the thoughts of wartime
It's the song that tickles your mind and helps you back… to it
Hoping you will err not twice as every army on the slope has
Take a different journey hidden in the clouds of your sky
But like every soldier before down the slopes it pours
Raindrops in the night

Certification

You have been awarded
a prize for insolence
And given an award
 for your mastery of stupidity
Lounged you have in the folly of your silliness
And showered in the liquidity of thy nonsense

Accolades for your supreme frailties are tremendous
Not even the wit of your shallowness matches it grandeur
Beyond grey clouds hath thy insecurities flown
And in the pride of your self consciousness you've marched forward
If only you could see thyself
 in the mirror of each staring eye
Then from their lips will your only certification lye

As If You Are Nothing But Good

Little, little riverside stream
You water my dreams

Giving fresh flower in the Spring
All that new life your help brings
Flowing on through Summer
Carrying gold for our rings

Catching fallen leaves in Autumn
Many colors you now carry
Freeze you won't in the chill of Winter
Changing you of this I won't worry

Happy B'Day

Happy Birthday … Now and Forever More

I was going to send you diamonds and pearls,
but I don’t want to let anything outshine your beauty……
You are one in a million and that’s how you should stay.
I thought of giving you the world and the stars and the moons,
but I don’t want to burden your soul ……
You are one in a million and that’s how you should stay.
For your life’s journeys will bring you gifts,
even when there is not much to celebrate ……
Just always remember…
You are one in a million and that’s how you should stay,
On this your day, Happy Birthday
