Without the brisk response
Technology provides
We are left to the thoughts
Toward which our imagination guides.
The sort of conceptions
Of which our ancestors dreamed;
Yet to them, now,
Present innovations seem
To erase the need
To conceive the dreams
So far away
That few can scheme
To prove what such images
Conform to mean
And is,
What they make me believe
A reality?
I was not prepared
to accept the feeling
That tonight would have
Such significant meaning;
I did not expect
For an hour's experience
To alter and offer
My definition of bliss.
A previous conception ,
Guarded,
By a peculiar mist,
Tainted,
By the faintest
Want of a kiss.
A memory of a time
Which must be replaced
With a figurative matter
Of time and place
Where we can discuss,
Face-to-face
Without the distraction
Of your work's fast pace
Of unexpected thoughts
That now take the place
Of a newly experienced
Sequence of events
Toward which
I wish
Will continue to consume
The unoccupied space
That is the hollowed,
Vast,
Emptiness,
Perhaps designated
For you to encompass.

Reaching Heaven ©
4 October 2010
When you're sitting on a throne on top of the world
Contrary to what you may have heard
Only you know how hard you have worked
To succeed and achieve what you have earned.
It's said you can only descend from here
But hey that depends on how you steer
Whether or not you grind your gears
Exhausting your chances, now to adorn tears
You could easily find yourself living your fears.
It's up to you to steer the other way
Don't let your initiative dwindle or stray
Catch on before your thoughts start to fray
Steady your pace at the hint of sway
If caught up in an area of gray.
Withstand the weather, continue to play
No matter the rain, wind or haze
It's all a game just like a maze
Imagine you're stuck in a labyrinth of maize
On a one way street, one direction to take
With only one possible route to escape.
Think outside the box, add a fresh coat of glaze
Go above and beyond your comforting ways
Beneath hesitation lays what it takes
But make sure to weigh consequences and stakes
Before you make the turn that may
Deviate your path from the way
To scaling the mountain you portray
As the stairs that climb to high above
To the skies where you can fly like a dove
The heavenly state we imagine as love.
A mental trophy of success
From which we strive not to digress.
With discipline and willpower to persist
Aim straight as you can, confident you'll not miss
Train your mind to act with finesse
Obtain mental posture through cognitive fitness.
Constituting boundaries as you see fit
To keep you on track and so that you don't miss
The train to the gondola to the peak of the Alps
To where you can reach and contain in your grasp
The heavenly skies above at last.

Confide ©
1 Oct 2010
It crossed my mind I cannot find
Someone in whom I can confide
Apart from all my family
They're great, I love them honestly
But no one else apart from them
So I don't tell the leaves and stems
Just the branches and the trunk
With hidden roots and little luck
Of rising to what is above
The heavenly feeling of what is love
The one in whom I will confide
Share all that passes through my mind
No matter when, but in due time
When will it be my turn to climb
To the place that'll ease my mind
And make it easier to find
The comfort in what's in my mind
It crossed my mind I cannot find
Someone in whom I can confide
Apart from all my family
They're great, I love them honestly
But no one else apart from them
So I don't tell the leaves and stems
Just the branches and the trunk
With hidden roots and little luck
Of rising to what is above
The heavenly feeling of what is love
The one in whom I will confide
Share all that passes through my mind
No matter when, but in due time
When will it be my turn to climb
To the place that'll ease my mind
And make it easier to find
The comfort in what's in my mind

With such graceful feline essence
Their ways have taught me a few lessons
When to move with speed and great finesse

Night like a church chamber

Moonlight shines on fields of hay
Sometimes glowing bright as day

Hilltop mountain high
Every night a different sky
See all day the cows
Hear at night the owls
With two guards on the prowl
They keep away that which is fowl

His eyes and my smiles
I'm completely beguiled
I met this fabulous guy
He's not your average find
Can't shake him off my mind
With such high aspiration
He gives me inspiration
On and off the pitch
Don't think I'll find a single glitch
Wanting you to hold me
Protect me from all evil
Sent to me by an angel
You radiate god's light upon me
His eyes and my smiles
I'm completely beguiled
I met this fabulous guy
He's not your average find
Can't shake him off my mind
With such high aspiration
He gives me inspiration
On and off the pitch

Fireflies ©
24 May 2010
Watching fields of fireflies
Listening as the frogs disguise
The forest's secrets as dusk dawns
And fog rolls in to settle upon
The countryside, the blue ridge mountains
Where one cannot help it, can't refrain
From coming home again and again
Watching fields of fireflies
Listening as the frogs disguise
The forest's secrets as dusk dawns
And fog rolls in to settle upon
The countryside, the blue ridge mountains
Where one cannot help it, can't refrain
From coming home again and again

Knowing one day ill get too old
High grass flowing like falling leaves
Outside on a nice spring firelit eve

It's time to pretend
For myself I can fend
Get lost in a haze
I'm focused on my gaze
What goes on around
Don't hear any other sounds
Can't stop staring
I wanna be the one caring
Maybe one day it'll happen
Then when I get my chance in
He will see
A spectrum she didn't know could be
It's time to pretend
For myself I can fend
Get lost in a haze

Dreams ©
7 Apr 2010
At night I travel through my dreams
Wish they were as real as they seem
As vibrant as the spring is green
I cannot figure what they mean
Of love and that which I have lost
Many tears for which it cost
Although he was no good for me
He captured me, can't set me free
I can't help that he holds the key

Of mind and body like lock and key,
We have two parts we need to feed,
Though most Americans will not concede,
To the truth and for that they will soon see,
When their body and mind begin to bleed,
But by majority it would seem,
They'll continue the habits in which they believe,
And torture themselves until their soul leaves,
Never again to be seen.

Spring Storm ©
26 April 2010
The mountains fade into a white abyss
The clouds like smoke and the air like mist
The wind blows faster than a race horse
Running a race on the world's finest course
The rain pounds the Earth like a marching platoon
The lightning soon strikes, the thunder concludes
The phenomenal show Mother Earth presents
She shows Her power and has me convinced
That she's in control and we can't resist
Her strength does devour when She persists.

Not a good way to start this weekend.
You don't know what I'm doing to stop the feelings.
I can't dictate my thoughts cause they're real
and it's making me hurt in a real unappealing
way I'm saying I just don't want this feeling.
But I have to endure the deceiving,
but don't get the meaning of stealing
the rhythm in my breathing all in one evening
I don't wanna believe in what I was just seeing.

What do you want,
Six pack or lump?
What you eat makes all the difference.
Only have to spend a little time in the kitchen.
Gotta get your vitamins, carbs and protein
That's really all it takes to get you lean.
If you stick to a diet of natural foods
You'll feel all sorts of changes, even in your mood.
Trust me I'm saying I've done this before,
You gotta watch out and really don't eat more
Than your mom would serve you at Thanksgiving dinner
Just throw some veggies on the pan when the olive oil starts to sizzle.

It's the clutter and brush like briers in woods
All the answers I've not understood
That deviate me from my path
Make me think, compare, contrast
The questions I have yet to answer
Sprawled out thoughts that could be denser
Like scrambled eggs without the cheese
Thoughts fall and crumble with such ease

29 Sept 2010
Like debris in a stream
I cannot seem
To unclouded my thoughts
And say what I mean.
Maybe it's all that I've buried inside
But it's all in the past, the memories have died
That which only in myself I could confide
Yet it's not as if I am trying to hide.
My thoughts fluctuate like the ocean's tide
Waves of inspiration fall and rise
Like a dam holding water, restricting the flow
Someone please tell me, I do not know
How to lift the fog, how to unclog
Sort the mess in my brain, and uncontain
All the ideas I wish to explain.

Blind Until Shown The Light ©
19 Sept 2010
I imagine the way you open my door,
As everything I'm doing falls to the floor,
Time stops, my attention is 100% yours.
I had no idea but last night I did find,
That ever so constantly you're on my mind,
Somehow these feelings, yet undefined,
Have encompassed my vision and made me blind.
Then someone else showed me the light,
Made me question what I really like,
There are parts of you I've come to spite,
Now there's a battle inside I have to fight.

Sorry for suggesting beneficial ideas,
I'll do my best to ignore the spinning reels,
of time and motion in such a sense,
to ignore them will only make me tense,
but for you I'll do what makes you happy,
cause I prefer how we jest when you're not so snappy.

Comfort ©
25 August 2010
How strange the comfort in not knowing
As you're growing where you're going
All the while digging and discovering
Unknowingly enlightening and uncovering
The life in which you shall partake
The path your own to make or break
To take advantage of your youth
To study and expose all you can do
A time most prime to test your potential
Seek and overcome challenging obstacles
Sometimes you follow when not meant
But the opportunities life can present
Prove to be richer just unknown
And time will paint this as we grow
On a canvas made of memories
A grand mirage of all the seas
Which you have crossed as to succeed
Those very dreams once make believe
Conclude and prove what you achieve
Strive for all that which you desire
Hold back none 'til you acquire
The powerful passion lit afire
The circle round as you inspire
A lost soul, young and juvenile
As you once were 'til reconciled.

We're certain and fickle
Like water we flow
Get caught up as we go

Get caught up as we go
Stuck and in love

The sylvan glow shines
And blows my mind
Shooting through the branches
Wherever your eye glances
To watch as dusk
Takes over as it must
The animals come out
Hear them call and shout
We awake to the sun rise
Moon light is the same to their eyes
They hunt and wander
Under the night's cover
The sylvan glow shines
And blows my mind
Shooting through the branches
Wherever your eye glances
To watch as dusk
Takes over as it must

A way with words, words with a way
Either way, some people say
The more I write, every day
But yet I find it hard to paint
The artist in me is on fire
I write daily easily inspired
It only takes a hint of desire
My passion for writing will never expire
But it's time to take an intermission
Subside the words, to my visual side, listen
Swap my ledger with a canvas
Uncloud the side of me concealed by a mist
A way with words, words with a way
Either way, some people say
The more I write, every day
But yet I find it hard to paint
The artist in me is on fire
I write daily easily inspired
It only takes a hint of desire
My passion for writing will never expire
But it's time to take an intermission

As drops begin to grow larger
A sheet of white takes over

The clouded skies
Conceal the lies
Of rogues and spies
Throughout the nights
They steal and cheat
Live in deceit
To get the rush
They need so much
Hiding in the shadows
Nimble ladies and fellows
Their mission is mischief
The only way to live
They take and don't give
The clouded skies
Conceal the lies
Of rogues and spies
Throughout the nights

Your Smile Is The Key ©

Your smile brings back memories
Of times when I was flyin' high
I held the keys, to my life
I was alive the world was mine
Days when I was so successful
Did things I'll never hold regret for
Discovered myself in my art
A passion from which I'll never part
In my mind and memories
Days and nights all mesh together
But when you smile I remember
The feeling of having the keys
There's only one that can unlock
The side of me that time has blocked
It's you and your gorgeous smile
That makes me feel young and alive
Your smile brings back memories
Of times when I was flyin' high
I held the keys, to my life
I was alive the world was mine
Days when I was so successful
Did things I'll never hold regret for
Discovered myself in my art

Know I can confide

Glad you can confide
In me to listen
You'll always glisten
I'll never disappear
I always want to hear
Your beautiful ideas
Your insightful songs
They carry me along
To another place and time
When I had time to rhyme
When I was much younger
Lazy days during the summer
Nothing much to do
But to write a song or two

The feelings are the inspiration
For my writing and creation
Some strong and old as I was taught
Some that come from my young heart
At peace outside is when I write
Of sites I see both day and night
The sounds and smells fill my senses
Her beauty puts me into trances
But when I see that which I don't like
It brings out the side that wants to fight
The feelings are the inspiration
For my writing and creation
Some strong and old as I was taught

Antidote ©
6 Mar 2010
With nature as my antidote
Whether either day or night
Fresh air, sounds, and shades of green
That's what makes my mind serene
My troubles are still present there
But when I'm out there I don't care
I want to run I'm being told
The calling is simple and bold
How wonderful it would be to set free
The animal that is caged inside me
The things I notice when I'm out
I feel at home without doubt
The creek it oh so rapidly flows
The stars travel as the night hours grow
The cries of a life fighting it's last fight
They echo to be heard sharp into the night
A shooting star streaks the canvas above
A map which many eyes have loved
With nature as my antidote
Whether either day or night
Fresh air, sounds, and shades of green
That's what makes my mind serene
My troubles are still present there
But when I'm out there I don't care
I want to run I'm being told
The calling is simple and bold
How wonderful it would be to set free
The animal that is caged inside me
The things I notice when I'm out
I feel at home without doubt
The creek it oh so rapidly flows
The stars travel as the night hours grow
The cries of a life fighting it's last fight
They echo to be heard sharp into the night
A shooting star streaks the canvas above
A map which many eyes have loved

Across the valleys and hills
Rests our sister ridge
She's a sight to see from where I dwell
Here from there is a sight as well
The rolling hills carpeted with forest
With wildlife always chirping in chorus
The beauty releases my spirit to be free
At peace with our Mother in symmetry
Across the valleys and hills
Rests our sister ridge
She's a sight to see from where I dwell
Here from there is a sight as well
The rolling hills carpeted with forest
With wildlife always chirping in chorus
The beauty releases my spirit to be free
At peace with our Mother in symmetry

Like crackled skin in wintertime
It hurts the same but in my mind
The open sores burn hot as coal
New scars to stay till I am old
My hands bleed out
My eyes tear up
In time they dry and disappear
Right now they tell me time is real
My young skin seals like melted wax
Smooth and soft leaving no tracks
But the visual story of my past
I feed myself the nutrients
That which is needed to get through it
Yet careful not to overdo it
Like crackled skin in wintertime
It hurts the same but in my mind
The open sores burn hot as coal
New scars to stay till I am old
My hands bleed out
My eyes tear up
In time they dry and disappear
Right now they tell me time is real
My young skin seals like melted wax
Smooth and soft leaving no tracks
But the visual story of my past
I feed myself the nutrients
That which is needed to get through it
Yet careful not to overdo it

Nature is my refuge
A way to escape
I create the environment
My salvation and light
Where I can see deep inside
The world, its paths
I am given insight
By the natural sounds
She whispers in my ear
And the clouds dissipate
My vision now clear
Nature is my refuge
A way to escape
I create the environment
My salvation and light
Where I can see deep inside
The world, its paths
I am given insight
By the natural sounds
She whispers in my ear
And the clouds dissipate
My vision now clear

The trees shake and shiver
As the winds glide over
From the mountains in the distance
The rain starts to patter
As the drops grow larger
A sheet of white takes over
And all in sight becomes covered
As the winds glide over
From the mountains in the distance
The rain starts to patter
As the drops grow larger
A sheet of white takes over
And all in sight becomes covered
New Life ©

A new life has begun
Absorbing all that surrounds
The weather and its patterns
The wildlife and their sounds
The wet season brings life
Over every continent's turf
She learns every hour
To face danger and terror
To survive and provide
From elders she mirrors
From those older and wise
And from trial and error
Many seasons later
The days start to grow shorter
The time will soon come
Her spirit will come to find a new home
She becomes one with the world
As a new light is revealed
When spring does arrive
She will be surrounded by new life
As the circle continues
On land and in sea
Of all different ages
All are set free
A new life has begun
Absorbing all that surrounds
The weather and its patterns
The wildlife and their sounds
The wet season brings life
Over every continent's turf
She learns every hour
To face danger and terror
To survive and provide
From elders she mirrors
From those older and wise
And from trial and error
Many seasons later
The days start to grow shorter
The time will soon come
Her spirit will come to find a new home
She becomes one with the world
As a new light is revealed
When spring does arrive
She will be surrounded by new life
As the circle continues
On land and in sea
Of all different ages
All are set free

The time is right to shake the dice
They roll and scatter like hunted mice
Mediocre in result
Can't be stolen, can't be bought
Give and take, make no mistake
Seldom is the chance to remediate
Time is constant to the books
It easily slips right through the nooks
A year goes by
Say what, oh my
Memories have established space
Some disappear without a trace
Look ahead to tomorrow
Leave behind regret and sorrow
The world today is ever changing
For tomorrow comes a surprise unveiling
The time is right to shake the dice

A Common Pursuit ©

Pride will never be able to replace happiness,
For it will only lead one farther from bliss.
There comes a time for all,
To take charge in life whether the feat big or small.
Whether to change one’s direction
Or avoid deceitful temptation,
There comes a time to grow,
A time to mature, let the adult show.
Some know their way from a young day and age,
Some can’t escape for they’re stuck in a cage.
Some wander, some walk to find what is right,
Some question whether they’ve found it nearly every night.
Some are certain, some are content,
Some feel a waste many a day were spent.
But nature continues to carry on with human kind.
We all go through the same process, spirit, body and mind.
It is our goal to be happy, a universal concept,
Some find it through integrity, others contempt.
It can depend on romance, or vocation, or love,
Family, nature, all, more or less than the above.
But happiness cannot be replaced regardless of matter,
Not by pride, not by wealth, by anything, ever.
It can be nearly impossible for some to achieve,
Sometimes what is needed is just something in which to believe.
Should one fight and persist through trial and error,
Maybe they would do better to follow by example,
But if one’s mind is set on finding the answer,
Of the way to bliss, to happiness, one will eventually get there.

As white as snow
Like dynamite
She takes his soul
Into the light
Releases his spirit
From the night
With power and might
She takes him away
No need to fight.
