~Cliche Advise For A Friend~
Oh the games people play,,,
You need to wake up and smell the coffee,
Then maybe; you can stop and smell the roses,,,
Patience is a virtue, well my patience
has worn thin,,,
He’s pulling your leg my friend,
Burn your bridges while you can,,,
He’s got you paying a kings ransom with your emotions,
It’s written all over your face,,
This is not the time to let sleeping dogs lie,,,
Take your fate into your own hands,
Before it’s to late,,,
Don’t fan the flames, you just might get burned,,,
Unless of course you plan to fight fire with fire,,,...

Uppermost
Breathtaking feelings gripping, unrelenting,
Strangling the life right out of me…
Oh these the uppermost feelings of love,
Can’t you feel them as I do…
Some of life’s vital of pleasures
Indeed are life’s tremendous of pains…
Intense enough to thrill you into ecstasy,
Yet sharp enough to cut you like the
Dullest of blades…
Ouch; can you feel that immeasurable pain,
Mmm; I want more…
Like the very air you breath, polluted or not
You need it to survive…
Comes so natural these feelings that persist, ...

~Tell Me How To Be Okay Without You~
Tell me how to be okay
Without you?
My world stopped turning today
I don’t think you even noticed
Blistering words flowed from
your mouth
Tell me how to be okay
Without you?
The loss of your love
Trickles down my spine
Dancing across my very
Existence
The pain is immense
Tell me how to be okay
Without you?
The solution to me
Would be better than
Living with your ghost
My world revolved around
You night and day
Tell Me how to be okay
Without you?
The love we have is...
Without you?
My world stopped turning today
I don’t think you even noticed
Blistering words flowed from
your mouth
Tell me how to be okay
Without you?
The loss of your love
Trickles down my spine
Dancing across my very
Existence
The pain is immense
Tell me how to be okay
Without you?
The solution to me
Would be better than
Living with your ghost
My world revolved around
You night and day
Tell Me how to be okay
Without you?
The love we have is...

That's So Cliche
The perfect storm
In any way, shape or form
It is what it is
Sometimes beating around the bush
Can you see where I’m coming from
For what it’s worth
We’re opening Pandora’s box
While running in circles
So let’s touch base
Pull the trigger
You know I’m saving the best for last
Read my lips
Boys will be boys
So think outside the box
By all means
Drink the Kool-Aid
Connect the dots
When the rubber meets the road
Start with a clean slate
Reinvent the wheel
Turn that frown upside down
Silly...

Faces Of Death
Stop; look around…
The faces of death surround you..
But; do you really care…
Can you see past your own nose,
Even if for a brief moment…
Where did humanity go; when did
You stop caring; truly caring for others…
The one’s you hastily judge and disregard like
trash…
They need an unbiased mind and open ears to hear them…
Not persecute them into suicide…
Wake up before you find yourself in their shoe’s,
Wanting to rip them off and discard them in the nearest
Roadside ditch…
You won’t like where you stand and bare feet will...

Landscape Of Her Flesh
Jumping to conclusions is what he did best
Always out to cause perpetual fear and unrest
He didn’t know as much as he thought
Figments of his imagination his driving force
Lashing out time and time again
These scenes were a great deal more violent when
fueled with some type of drug or alcohol
Beating her with loaded guns and thrusting them
into her mouth
Inflicting physical and mental injury that would
resonate a life time
A rainbow of bruises emerged each time, for all to see
of purple, black, yellow, red and blue, at times...

Home
It’s been said that lights will guide
You home…
But where is home?
For so long I thought I knew…
Only to find I knew nothing at all…
I have found a new light…
Perhaps the beam it projects will
Be the one that works for me this
Time…
Home is where the heart is
Or so they say…
I always thought it was inside
My chest walls…
Maybe that’s just one of my many
Deluded thoughts…
I’m following this new beam,
OH it’s so enticing, so vibrant…
I feel it has no idea just how brilliant
It shines…
The threshold is now in view,...
You home…
But where is home?

Ready To Run
Stuck, yet in full motion...
How can this be...
Visions to ensnare...
Dreams left alone...
Things captured better left
For another day...
To those who can handle it,
Your time is now...
Grab all you can and run...
I’ll sit back and wait for the
Precise moment, if there is one...
Carrying on in a state such
As mine, could prove fatal...
The moment I await could plunge
Me further into the depths of
This anguish I reside or deliver me
Softly into the arms of bliss...
I’m ready to run, how about...
How can this be...
Visions to ensnare...
Dreams left alone...

Time
Shouldn't time take you there
The possibilities are endless
Places to explore, hidden realms
Never mind, I'm getting to excited
The hollows of my mind beckon
Come to me
But I ignore and keep pressing on
Time is but a figment to the world
Steady rushing and pressing you
For things you don't really want to give
However you do and wonder
At all the things that race past
You in a day
Sun up to sundown
A never ending plight this thing
Called time
Taking our breath, not caring if
We live or die
Time seems...

Ever Waiting Lost In Darkness
Darkness falls on me daily
People not worthy of their
positions
Someone thriving to be at
their beckon call
I'm left behind to be devoured
by these human forms of swine
Why is this to be, for the one
who loves earnestly
Will vindication for me come in
this lifetime probably not, yet
I fret, stand in formation waiting
to be chosen
Passed again
oblivious the ones waiting to
be abused
Walking with their heads in smoke filled
clouds
Choking on the very air they think brings
them life ...

Never To Let Go In Separation
Sublime uninhibited twists in time,
melodies of love heard in the distance
An unsullied silver shimmer cast by the moon,
dancing on ocean tides
Shadows of two reflect in the sand
Joined hands become fused, never to let
go in separation
Salty mist blankets my flesh, a
haunting reminder of your placid touch
Memories of us, trigger my eyes to shatter
With no offer of elucidation from you,
searching the horizons blue yonder for clues
melodies of love heard in the distance
An unsullied silver shimmer cast by the moon,
dancing on ocean tides
Shadows of two reflect in the sand
Joined hands become fused, never to let
go in separation
Salty mist blankets my flesh, a
haunting reminder of your placid touch
Memories of us, trigger my eyes to shatter
With no offer of elucidation from you,
searching the horizons blue yonder for clues
