Cómo Foi?
Cómo Foi?
This beautiful sunny day
During the Summer
It was a very hot day
For us
That made us
Sweat like pigs
Nonstop
The only way to get
Relief from this hot day
Is to go to the beach
Where it is cooler
We will have to swim
For a few minutes
Then when we come out
We will feel relieved
Cómo Foi?
I was the only one
Who had taken a look
At the blue sky
With white clouds
Also, I didn't see any sign
Of rain in the sky
Now this day was coming to
An end
We saw the sun going...
This beautiful sunny day

In search of inner peace
Through this subject of the course of our lives, when we have to learn to make real life decisions. FOR sure it's gonna be hard, yet it's necessary to understand what it will take to be able to achieve, that what is necessary to have that kind of life. THAT you crave and want and need, to sustain a beautiful quality of life. For sure there will be moments in your life, that you yourself will have to question yourself to realize, that there will be things outside of your own control, as you have to be able to understand the realistically. WHAT you will have to do to correct your own...

Why bother?
It's simpler to just stay here, stay put. nothing ever happens the way you want it to in life. there are always some elements that interfere with the intentions you've shared with the aether. you've been told many great things about how rewarding overcoming the challenges can be and such, but in the end you've been had. forced to conform to the normalcy, the inadequacy, of the circumstances unfolding before you. a stronger infusion of the tea of opportunity, forgetting that opportunity was the prize and instead becoming merely a tribute to what you truly wanted. "Expect disappointment...

YOU pretend to love me
For it's true that no one is sent to you by chance or accident, so why do you pretend to love me, when you only wanted to use me till I'm broken like crystal broken, pieces of shatter glass. Can you be really honest and truthful, with your own feelings and emotions and genuine, thoughts of why do you really pretend to love me only to be leaving in the end. For sure I thought that we had a sacred connection, yet I see that was created by ghostly images like those that echos from the negativity of my past. For what happen to you and me as we dream of a life together, with love and affection and...

If I'd been there..
I hope you know I’m thinking of you,
while you lie in that cold, fluorescent haze,
counting the cracks in the ceiling,
listening to the hum of a world
that keeps moving without you.
I know how it feels.
I know how the walls whisper
like they want to keep you forever.
I know how the silence
can be louder than the screams
that got you there in the first place.
I’ve been there too.
More times than I care to count.
I know the weight of a locked door,
the way time slows down
until it feels like you’re drowning in days...
while you lie in that cold, fluorescent haze,
counting the cracks in the ceiling,
listening to the hum of a world
that keeps moving without you.
I know how it feels.
I know how the walls whisper
like they want to keep you forever.
I know how the silence
can be louder than the screams
that got you there in the first place.
I’ve been there too.
More times than I care to count.
I know the weight of a locked door,
the way time slows down
until it feels like you’re drowning in days...

Mother Natures Last Walk
Walking in the soft white
With no direction
All I know is my heart is cold
The air freezes with every exhale
Creating intriguing flakes that drift
What have you done?
Some mistakes cannot be repaired
I gave you a home
Nurtured you
Now
I will walk the path to my end
What can a mother do to show her love?
I gave you me
Once the last bloom on the tree of life blooms
Remember how I once was.
Remember the soft summer nights.
When the rose and the orchids perfumed the air
Remember the sweet fruits...
With no direction
All I know is my heart is cold
The air freezes with every exhale
Creating intriguing flakes that drift
What have you done?
Some mistakes cannot be repaired
I gave you a home
Nurtured you
Now
I will walk the path to my end
What can a mother do to show her love?
I gave you me
Once the last bloom on the tree of life blooms
Remember how I once was.
Remember the soft summer nights.
When the rose and the orchids perfumed the air
Remember the sweet fruits...

Where'd you go 17
Living life at the edge
Stuck between kid and adult
Abyss looming as we teeter on the ledge
With the world in our hands
And fire in our eyes
We didn't care about apathy
As long as we got high on Friday night
Our minds spun on donut rides
In a gravel parking lot
Copping beers from the store
Hoping we didn't get caught
Speeding fast with windows down
Wind blowing through our hair
Meeting up with friends in town
Without worry or care
Come back 17
I'm lost in this...
Living life at the edge
Stuck between kid and adult
Abyss looming as we teeter on the ledge
With the world in our hands
And fire in our eyes
We didn't care about apathy
As long as we got high on Friday night
Our minds spun on donut rides
In a gravel parking lot
Copping beers from the store
Hoping we didn't get caught
Speeding fast with windows down
Wind blowing through our hair
Meeting up with friends in town
Without worry or care
Come back 17
I'm lost in this...

Held On (Too Long)
Held on too long
Held on too long to a love that ran away
Held on too long to a love that I thought would stay
Held on too long to a piece of her heart
Held on too long even after it fell apart
Held on too long to the dream of us
Held on too long even though I know it’s not thus
Held on too long to start living again
Held on too long to start loving again
Held on too long to her but I lost myself
Held on too long kept myself on a shelf
Held on too long look at...
Held on too long to a love that ran away
Held on too long to a love that I thought would stay
Held on too long to a piece of her heart
Held on too long even after it fell apart
Held on too long to the dream of us
Held on too long even though I know it’s not thus
Held on too long to start living again
Held on too long to start loving again
Held on too long to her but I lost myself
Held on too long kept myself on a shelf
Held on too long look at...

Another day dawns
And I'm propped up
Like a pale corpse
To lead charge into battle
Pushed and berated on
A beast of burden
With no reprieve
From bound shackles
Sent home a shell
To my loves
A broken boned
Fading soul
And I'm propped up
Like a pale corpse
To lead charge into battle
Pushed and berated on
A beast of burden
With no reprieve
From bound shackles
Sent home a shell
To my loves
A broken boned
Fading soul

Substantial Dreams
Shifty is the con man grifter...Obfuscating his counterfeiter, confessing menu to order from. Inside review of such a fiend's means of pulling a lick, his coming up salesman pitch to attend his feral fix. Heated is the dirty bent spoon. Matchbook ready & willing to sharpen the tool of a fiend's salvation. Candlelight, sets the mood of watering mouths, blast out of the running gate. Thrown at his soles a welcome mat for the variety substance of ill flavors he wipes & owns. Selfishly he programs his one track mind, believing that he is hurting nobody but himself... While he indulges...

Discombobulated Heart
When I did not know no pain.
Life looked rosy, the future the same.
Now my heart is discombobulated.
Esp when someone Mentions your name.
Pain returns again & again.
Future looks bleak, black dog like!
Time slows to a trickle.
As light fades away.
I need space of time & distance.
Patience calm & confidence.
Till time speeds up again.
Times I've seen you.
Listened to your say.
Ok I'#ve had my say too.
I'm left confused.
As to what was actually said.
Do you find that's when others.
Talk about me...
Life looked rosy, the future the same.
Now my heart is discombobulated.
Esp when someone Mentions your name.
Pain returns again & again.
Future looks bleak, black dog like!
Time slows to a trickle.
As light fades away.
I need space of time & distance.
Patience calm & confidence.
Till time speeds up again.
Times I've seen you.
Listened to your say.
Ok I'#ve had my say too.
I'm left confused.
As to what was actually said.
Do you find that's when others.
Talk about me...
