Many Faces

Who am I, as if to say,
I have limitless time, on this endless day.
Just a soul, buried in the snow,
I am someone I do not know.
Maybe I'm the ocean breeze,
Carried miles upon the sea,
A simple wave upon the shore,
A gust of wind and nothing more.
I could be the setting sun,
Melting colors as they run,
Warming others with my rays,
Turning nights to happy days.
Maybe I'm a star filled sky,
Beckoning answers to questions why,
Always dark and sometimes cold,
A empty space that that fills no mold.
What if I was just a book?
Open pages to take a look,
With endless imagination and a subtle plot,
Speaking to you through my thoughts.
What if I was the morning dew,
Who am I? I thought I knew.
With all the options in my hand,
I am me, just a man.

The Way Out

 Thursday, May 26, 2011

I woke yesterday,

and just whispered goodbye.

Decided this would be the last time,

a tear would graced my eye.

I thought about what could have been,

considered what it was.

Foolish is the dreamer,

who dares dream of love.

I showered with the lights out,

so I couldn't see my shame.

I fell to my knees in protest,

wanting to shift the blame.

Then a thought occurred to me,

that maybe it was time.

Time to let it go,

and leave it all behind.

I rose in that water,

breathed deeply in the steam.

It was at that moment,

I found a part of me.

Out of the shower,

I turned on the light,

no longer a beaten man,

just a lover who lost the fight.

I walked out to the ocean,

as I've done a million times before.

I smiled, and to myself I said,

I'll leave it on the shore.

Yet somehow this was bigger,

somehow this was more.

Some may call it an ending,

I call it a door.



Drowing in the Ocean

Thursday, March 17, 2011

I'm treading water in the ocean.

The waves crash on my head.

I've never been so alive,

never so close to dead.

Fish are nipping at my toes.

The sharks are close behind.

I'm looking for my dolphin,

but she’s hard to find.

I've never been a quitter.

I've never been behind.

I always go for what I want and get it,

but this time, never mind.

I'm looking for a life boat.

I'm drowning in this glow.

If it isn't coming,

can someone let me know?

I've given this my all.

I'm falling into blue.

The water makes me delirious.

Is that even you?

Am I crossing the horizon,

or is this just a dream?

Out here everything is different.

Nothing is what it seems.

Illusions of my dreams,

pour into my mind.

Delusions of grandeur,

are telling me I'm fine.

So I let go just once.

I'll release it this one time.

I sink slowly,

it feels like the ocean is mine.

There is peace inside my jaded soul,

as I sink deep below.

I'm finding my happiness,

in this world I do not know.

Bubbles float from my mouth.

I see children in a field.

Still no dolphin, no life boat,

now it's feeling real.

But how deep am I?

The blue turns to black.

I know if I give up this time,

i'll never get it back.

So I kick and kick as hard as I can,

I know I cannot stop.

I’m so close to the bottom,

so close to the top.

I'm getting weaker by the moment.

I just need to breathe.

Will I breathe the fresh air,

or will I breathe the sea?

Perfect

Tuesday, August 30, 2011

I woke up this morning, and all I could do was smile...
I can't remember feeling, oh so alive...
It's like my dream never ended,
Almost like I could fly..
Your smile, your smile, it swept me away...
I don't think that I, have ever felt this way...
Your words are so soft,
Some thing so beautiful, in your eyes...
When I am around you, my fears just lay aside...
The touch of your hand, Makes me want to cry...
You're perfect, you're perfect, In every single way...
You are the sun, that brightens up my day...
I never knew, you'd march straight to my heart..
Now my heart aches, when ever we're apart,
It's like we were born, from a joined soul...
Like a love story, that has yet to be told....
You're perfect, you're perfect, In every single way....
I need you, I need you, I need you to stay..
They say love never listens, it falls on deaf ears,
I say something so perfect, can take away our tears,
I'm broken, I'm broken, the walls are coming down,
I feel so perfect, when your your around,
I feel like you're worth it, my feet are off the ground...
It's like our souls, have made it back around...
It's perfect, it's perfect, it's just like a dream.....
You're perfect, you're perfect, much more than you seem...
Now that I've known you, I can never walk away....
My heart's steady screaming, I just want you to stay....
I need you to stay....
I need you to stay...
Please never go away.

Flames in my Heart

Friday, September 2, 2011

In my heart I hold a flame, soft in it's glow,
It flickers with the winds of change, how ever they may blow.
It's brighter than the sun, blinding with it's light,
It forces out the shadows, it cancels out the night.
In my soul I hold a gem, it's value never known,
It's diamonds on the ocean, it's beauty never shown.
It's sought out by the rich, it's needed by the poor,
My soul simply hides a gem, never seen before.
Inside my mind i fight my demons, lashing out of control,
Fighting with my inner strength, for the value of my soul.
They want to take my happy, they want to take my smile,
They want the better part of me, to be gone for awhile,
I struggle with my past, to leave it all behind,
To take the pain i have kept, and keep it well confined,
I pray for a different ending, than it's been many times before,
I pray the flame within my heart, can find someone to adore.
I look inside myself, to see exactly what I need,
I take the pain from my past, and slowly let it bleed,
In the pain is healing, lessons are a must,
In my heart I'm finding, maybe I can trust,
In my soul I'm seeing, where I want to be,
In her eyes I'm feeling, maybe I'll be free,
In my mind I'm hoping, the future's not the same,
I never want to loose, the brightness of my flame.
