What I Wouldn't Give
Oh what I wouldn't give,
To be back in the moments that I relive.
When life was simple,
And life was pure,
When we could always keep an open door.
All the memories of home,
The open acres that I grew up on.
Back when momma always smiled,
And all the kids could run free and wild.
Oh, what I wouldn't give,
To relive those moments as a kid.
Every sunrise the rooster crowed,
As the sunlight touched the tall corn rows.
A full day of hard work and lessons learned,
Everything we had was rightfully earned.
All of our meals were spent together,
Around the table where we discussed the weather.
We started every meal with saying grace,
And daddy sitting in his same ol' place.
Then every evening when the sun went down,
The crickets singing was the only sound.
We would get washed up and head to bed,
Where momma would tuck us and kiss our head.
Oh, what I wouldn't give,
To be back in the moments that I relive.

Tears
Tears are simply the perspiration of our souls.

Tinge of Sadness
There was a tinge of sadness in her voice,
With a still silence surrounding her.
She had reluctantly made her choice,
To free herself from her nightmare.
It was the only way to escape the pain,
As her abuser lay lifeless on the floor.
Her mind could no longer sustain,
She had to stop it, forevermore.

The Hunters Prayer
Lord,
As I set out to provide for mine,
Please keep me under your wing.
This is the moment that will define,
What to the table I will bring.
May my prey not suffer, And my aim be true,
It's life will not be taken in vain.
May it's soul be taken to heaven with you,
After leaving this life without pain.
I ask for you to provide me the strength,
And the wisdom to fill our table.
With good faith, I can go any length,
With your guidance, you make me able.
Amen.

One Four Three
As you walked away,
You turned and looked at me.
The distance too great for words to say,
So I signed to you One Four Three.
Three numbers for three words,
Starting with I and ending with you.
An Expression of my feelings,
A little secret from me to you!

Appreciate
When appreciation becomes expectation,
You have confused your wants with your needs.
Appreciate the good dedication,
Before expectation bites the hand that feeds!

Skin Deep
Simply close your eyes,
And listen to me.
I have a real surprise,
So tell me what you see?
You see what matters most,
What comes from inside.
Our bodies are only hosts,
Over color we should not divide.
Our hearts are all the same,
And we all bleed red.
Whether in poverty or in fame,
Love for all should be spread!

If I...
If I were not me,
Then who might I be?
If I were you,
Then you would be who?
If you were her,
Would you still be who you were?
And if I was he,
Then would I still be me?
No matter which who,
You will always be you.
And I will always be me,
No matter who you see!

All of my nautical instincts desire to encompass you and make you mine, But I don’t want to own you, I want you to be free, And hope one day you can be free with me, Unchained

Remnants
My skin burns with the remnants of you, my heart sinks into your memory
My life wanes in the wake of your fury while Guilt lingers for who ive hurt in my undying commitment
What do you do when you realize you dont mean as much, to the one you would die for to just feel their touch?
How do i find any self love, when the one my future existed for,
None of it was worth any more?
Entertwining with you and your beautiful soul was all i came to know,
i left everything else behind, i needed it not since in the future we would be one and grow
I trusted in what i thought was love (for me), that you’d never let me fall
But every day i wake up on the ground because apparently i could provide you with nothing at all
I beg the universe to turn back time, so i can do things better,
and just be worth to you a single string of existence in our once love letter
Should i have been more like her? I wish i knew how,
for id be anything that made you care , and anything that made you love me like you said when no one else was there
I thought all of who i was was enough,
for she now i dont remeber, pretending to be alive is exceptionally tough
The fall was so hard, but i thought youd be there to catch me,
wow how love makes us naive to the reality we refuse to see
I tried so hard to endure your disdain, because losing you would be unbearable , but i couldnt except that our story would conclude in endless pain
If it werent for my daughyer, id have let you beat me with your demons forever if it meant i was good enough again to be what you wanted,
i thought i was, but i was never her, just jaunted
Ill always wonder what made her deserve while i was made to be abandoned,
And ill always wait to see who the next one is (that i couldnt be) who you dont leave emotionally stranded
I believed your words to start,
why wouldnt i? They were all real to me in my emotions, id never turn my back on you or imagine we would part
But then i learned they were just words to you.
And every second next to me hurt, preventing you from being where your heart is true
Your fight to hurt and push me away finally spoke to me,
and i let you return to where you always wanted to be
As i tried to be true to all our dreams, i realized you stopped dreaming.
And as i sacraficed all i had to make them come true, i realized i was just chasing you, and my silent soul was screaming
“Get away, you worthless sin” i heard your actions whisper,
“you have served your purpose and now im done”, i listened as my heart endured another blister
I tried to pretend it wasnt true, and youd see the light again.
But you only let me be a passing breeze, to change the season for your next one to begin
I hope she adores your eyes like i did, and kisses your chin then below to inhale your skin and neck,
after caressing your hair and catching a gaze in your eyes, her heart knows it will risk anything to feel your warm chest take a breath
I hope shes true like i was, down to every move she can make,
i hope she has what i didnt to make sure your commitment doesnt fade
At least if i cannot smell your scent and feel your breath,
ill know your taken care of nonetheless, even if the searing truth is be it on anothers breast
Im sorry i wasnt what you needed to keep walking to our dreams with me,
in the storm you raged so heavily, but i always tried to help you see
My crystal ball wasnt good enough to guide you to be,
in time, nothing was if it came from any part of me
But please remeber that one time you believed our truth,
please dont forget me,
i cannot imagine being as faded as days of my worthless shaded youth,
please dont let me
Im sorry i wasnt good enough to keep floating on your sea,
ill always remember how powerful the comforting waves were to me
Im sorry you blame me for every nasty thing,
i begged so long you’d hear my words for what they were,
i thought my life and love would be worthy of my king,
but his love for me was not as pure
It was a joke to think someone like me would have that life,
As i watched you slip away from me I felt the deepest slice,
and although it was so long ago i held hope alive, and for that
i pay the price
Now ive lost it all with you, and i hope my dearest will forgive me
But at least i know i helped you rid your life of something dreary.
I hope that shell be good enough to fix all your lifes problems,
make your mom smile better than i tried,
And worthy of your daughter,
But in the end, alone i know now, it was only me who died.
I hope you and yours have the life i wanted,
with one home one unified team that keeps moving forward,
no matter what life has in store, i hope for all the challenges and victories for you all to joyfully endure
Im sorry im a failure, i hope soon it all ends, so i may hit the reset button and be the one who wins
For true love comes in last,
blind as the hurricane winds that blew you away,
as i become part of your past,
while the sound of my heart beat fades and i just slip into the grey....

VOID
I am inanimate as I am blindly made to fill your void,
It is always my fault when you become angry or annoyed,
Yet pathetically I existed as your toy
You call it love but it is only the feeling you love to feel,
and all the while my efforts i made from your prospective are just not real
Of course they aren’t when you cannot see the pain,
of actually loving,
and your most vulnerable parts are given in vein
If only you had the power to see that your selfish lack of courage is torturing me,
Brave as I am and an independent of course!, I jumped into your storm as if by an invisible force
For love intends to ease the path of any pain or strife, emotional challenges or perpetual pain in this life
When only one can ease and one just harms, it’s unfair to be ripped from your arms
They once fed my soul and future plans, now I’m just another backdrop in partially acknowledged shadows, and try to crawl back up as best as I can
When all is done and reflection is granted, I see only that your own love was slanted
To be the whipping post of your gaping void, made me your non permissive emotional driod
Now I am alone at the bottom, clinging to the empty hope that I’m not forgotten -
And when I touch the curtains
To let the sun shine onto me
It smolders my flesh
The scars
Which were old enough
To let blood lose shade
Now touches me to the core
And what I do?
I smile
And look at them
I stare at blue
Turning purple
I see colours
Of all shades
Is it falling in love,
Or out of love?
The way
Violin sings to me
The way
Stars speak of music
The way
Moon shines away
The way
It feels
Is it falling in love,
Or out of love?
Through the dark and dull
He has made me realise
A world apart from that
Exists
Here itself
He hasn't left me
Till yet
Is it falling in love,
Or out of love?
The streets
Speak of us
And oh dear streetlights
They know
Our favourite place
Is it falling in love,
Or out of love?
