Pivotal
1 2 3 chances to change my life
Yet I went silently into the night
A closed mouth doesn't get fed
You live on in every tear I shed
The pinnacle of what could have been
But.. what… if
I could go back again
I’d chose to be more than friends
I’d be your lover, your wife
Maybe then you'd be here tonight,
Instead of me wrestling with the truth
I was scared you
Scared of your love
Of all the things you wanted for us
I wasn't ready for it
So I ran from it,
Every time you called
I was on the brink of us
Of giving into my...

Repetitive
I shake my head for what we have become
We lost this love some time ago
But where did it run off too? who knows
Our friendship got lost 2 turns ago
Every wrong turn is a year gone by
Passion pulled over to the side
I wave to it as we pass in the night
All that's left are stupid fights
Our only communication is anger
Be it tomorrow, yesterday or later
I've tried and tried to make you happy
But you have broken the last of me
Admit it, I'm not what you want anymore
ADMIT IT TO ME
IM SO SICK OF LOSING SLEEP
Wondering if your coming...

Embrace
You're running at me, like a movie
Action! Slow motion, "Queue the music"
But this is no film, its reality
I'm standing, crash into me
Jump in my arms, with all your passion
Did you see it?
Did you see what just happened?
"Zoom in"
"Queue the magic"
Emotions exploded on my face
Confusion took weight
Shock mixed with intrigue
It's so hard to believe
So much in the silence
So much without words
Tickle my nerves
Boil my blood
You are beating my heart like a drum
Rest your head on my chest...

Revelation
"I am the me I've always been, I've only been hidden"
Could this be it, is it the end
Love undoubtedly wins again
I've let myself go for gold
The unknown will unfold
What's meant to be
The future is of no certainty
But wait... the Reaper smiles... again?
No longer just an Angel of Death
But a Soldier of Light
This coat now has a shade of white
It grows in contrast the more I FALL
But is it really worth it all?
Will my mind allow my heart have this?
Or will these walls remain wrapped around it?
Months past...

Gratitude
You are a part of me even though yur not a part of me"
Blood runs within me, cells and chromosomes
Truthfully, I think of you as my own
As close as the wind blowing thru this house
That we have now made a home
I sit in this room listening
Sinking, shredding on the inside
As yu sob for your father
Whose not hear, you miss him
I hear it in every tear
In some distant black hole
Some time warp away
You will be standing face to face
Those tears will have dried
Smiles will ensue
For all the years he's been, ...

Wonderment
"You redefined miracles for me, this is proof its not a fluke"
Core Crust
Heart Trust
When galaxies are set in motion,
The real miracle is, timing,
But when was it decided,
We would meet this day,
Start this trend?
Push past more than friends
Three years this thought alluded me
Never believing in the possibility
Only in the fictional reality
This fable that I now live
Is the purest gift, faith could give
A hug that never ends
That reaches beyond forever
You are my Atlantian treasure
The diamond harp...

Reason
This is a meeting place, oasis
When rhythm cant follow the cadence
These lines these pages
Bring together a complex arrangement
A single idea, a morsel of truth
That may reveal a part of you
Some things are better left to imagery
A special form of self expression
The relevance is, find the hidden meaning
In all artistic endeavors
A dancers graceful turn
The value of a quiet sculpture
The reason for every stroke
Lessons in every poem
Photos that captivate, not just a story
But a life, in so much focus
May...

Origins: Conception
"Two days after giving thanks, you remind me, what I'm missing"
November 26th 2011
The cold wind blows
As you walk thru my threshold
Nerves follow your breath
Anticipation takes over my body
Can't wait for you to know me
If the beginning had a beginning
This was it, this was Gods gift
She captivated me with ease
Walked thru my walls like this midnight air
The love I have for her started here.
The intricacies of this date
Still let me know how real this all was
How real you were
We sat on this couch joking around...

Siphon
"I've been drained, but I shall refill what is mine"
I was headed places far beyond where you were going
You split the road to success,into chance and disaster
You were a deviation to the latter
I chose you instead of the legend I would become
Made a mistake and thought you were the one
I figured this out to late to recover
Way to late to part without anger
Lie to me once siphon me again
You are no longer the end
My objectives no longer include your life
You have received all my spite
You used me to get somewhere you'll never...

Everything has a beginning but nothing truly has an end”
October 21st 2011
This day is sacred forevermore enshrined
The Origin of my love, I did find
That frame of second that can be defined
1000 different ways, 1000 times
Just one motion my hand on her waist
Sent seismic waves thru her brain
“Maybe he will fall for me someday”
“His hand could have been any other place”
I didn’t know what my actions would spawn
I’m thankful of the memories to come
What a simple gesture would bring forth
Ended up being so much more
The depth...

Awaken
Arise, Rebuild, Re-Imagine"
I Shudder no more at the aftermath
So many times its kept me down
Finally I can say this out loud
Let the sirens proudly sound
Awaken the Ace thats been hibernating
Arise from your slumber
Let your mind start sputtering
Reclaim whats yours, Knock down every door
Thats kept you barricaded in
Shudder no more my friend
Write it but redo it
Picture it but recaptured it
This method is how I master it
Re Imagine your life right now
Set out a new path, make this one count...
