“How Do I Reach You?”

27 Friday Jul 2012

, , , , , , , , , ,

H ow do
I reach you?

H ow do I start to move on and begin
O pening up to open you up
W hen closure hasn’t come to an end

D o I reach you when you break?
O r beseech you when you bend?

I can meet you in the middle, but what happens after then?

R oads can only go so far
E ven I am not invincible
A nd I’m not gonna say you are
‘C ause that would not be sensible
H ow do I learn a new lesson to teach you?

U-turn & return, tell me how do I reach you?

“The Rhythm Of A Better Life”

04 Wednesday Jul 2012

Tags

, , , , , , , , , , , ,

I am without borders
Still within a trebled clef caused by this strife
Of living acapella
Lusting for the rhythm of a better life
As music seeks to strike a chord within my spirit
There is no major way for me to hear it
In isolation, how do I with my syncopated instrument
Orchestrate a sense of harmony
Not as one isolated incident…
…But as one with song that’s learned to dance with me

“Confessions Of A Soul Mate”

22 Friday Jun 2012

Tags

, , , , , , , , , , , ,

Sometimes I bore you
Sometimes I stress you
I adore you
I would rather decompress you
I confess
You…
Are the soul mate
I have had visions of
You are my life
And I live for your love

unexpectedly (I Got A Blessing Today)

04 Friday May 2012

, , , , , , , , ,

Arriving unexpectedly
In God’s perfect timing
I got a blessing today

It protected me
While I was mountain climbing
And stressing today

Bills were mounting up
And I was heading for the hills
All morning counting up
More & more bills
Past due down to my last, ooh…
No new legal & tender
For the landlord, utilities or groceries
No flying eagle for my local vendors

Well, I didn’t win the lottery
But I can still boast
I did get what I needed most

A boost from my Creator who connected me
With FAITH the Motivator unexpectedly
It’s God that I’m indebted to

And I’m confessing today
What FAITH Does I will let it do
I got a blessing today
And some spiritual credit too

“my SECOND skin”

30 Monday Apr 2012

Tags

, , , , , , , ,

You are my second skin
One with me – we mesh
Underneath the soul within

…Far beyond where there is flesh

And you are my next of kin
Rarest of the rare –
Extent of your loss, what then?

…More than my heart could bear 

My second skin and my first love
You’re what I thirst love in the inner me…

…And my burst of higher energy 

Savoring you protects me when
Earnest devotion begins to believe
Companionship is rejecting a friend – I grieve
Once emotion is worn on my sleeve
Not that you’d abandon ship of this I can be sure
Destiny stitched the layers weaved… 

…There is nothing about us impure

So in this context we blend
Kindred spirits through & through
I see you as my second skin
Notably thicker to insulate me from a colder view…

…You breathe in me a warm second wind
And blow me away by you just being you

A Fatal Flaw In The Logic of Love

06 Monday Feb 2012

Tags

, , , , , , ,

There is a fatal flaw
In the logic of love
It rears its ugly claw
And kills it
By not seeing what I saw
As the logical thing
That takes a broken heart
And heals it
We are a fatality
Not just tears have been shed
A sharp tongue craves our blood
And spills it
And the memories gnaw
On whatever’s undead
As the need to withdraw
Fulfills it
This love could have lasted forever
If you only thought differently
You brought your past into our present
And by doing so you overlooked a different me
You loved me but you couldn’t differentiate
Someone you love from someone you hate
And this fatal flaw
In the logic of love
Its touch can never thaw
It chills it
Against natural law
Its illogical cling
Damages the hand
Life deals it
Neither kings nor principalities
Dare reverse its decree
Once it wields what it wields
When it wields it
Two people in awe
Feel the death of their glee
And pray the next lifetime
Rebuilds it

“What Difference Can I Make?”

15 Sunday Jan 2012

, , , , , ,

” … All The Difference In The World.”

I‘m just one person, one single solitary soul

Categorized
As the least of your worries
No rush, no hurries

Made out to be a scapegoat
And in my category
Know this, if you know nothing
Else

Always know the story I tell myself

Dating back to way back then, when
I asked the sky, what difference can I make?
Feeling smaller than a snowflake
For I was just one person, one single solitary soul
Energetic, but the
Runt of the litter
E-flat transmitter
No doubt a little eighth note
Convinced I could create hope, I became the
Evidence of one soul in solidarity with changes swirled

… What difference did it make?
All the difference in the world.
