A Rose In Life

Come now little sister lets us take our thought filled walk
An image once forgotten, a little troubled, but never lost
Hand in hand we step now, on our feet and on a cause
And like the tree of life, our roots support our flaws
I love you little sister, always have and always will
An when you see my eyes know our father holds you still
I love you little sister, hold your breath an take my limb
Descend amongst the whispers and let your life begin
And as you tumble slowly remember forgotten eyes
For the man that held his Rose bud has never really died
Now with your graceful landing bask in my great son
For he now holds the eyes of the past that's just begun
So in the distance now you see a Rose that starts to bloom
Her pedals open slowly, amongst a son, eclipsed a moon
No longer my littler Rose bud, I take a step away
May the stars upon the heavens guide you on your way
I love you little sister, always have and always will
I give this man my Rose for now he forever holds you still

To my little sister and her husband Matt

Dream Seeker

This torn and lost child only wishing to be
Has been blinded by the light and false prophecies
Waiting for a sign
He attempts to find himself
But a life that has no meaning, offers little help
O child hear your calling
Open up your eyes
The dream you have been seeking requires sacrifice
Now close your mind my child
And open up your heart
The limits that confine you
Are tearing you apart
My child you are but sitting
Stop searching for a hand
Answer one's own calling
You will rise to take your stand
Break free from chains that bind you
It is your soul that has the key
Rise above the lies that tie you
Become a man that's free

Mirror Mirror on Shattered Wall

Mirror mirror on the wall
Whose eyes are these with tears that fall?
I know these eyes, but don't recall
This frozen face with tears that fall
O mirror mirror upon my wall
Who is the darkest of them all
The shatter stills when tears do fall
"So cold am I" these voices call
Please mirror mirror on my wall
Please end my pain, just end it all
Please end my tears and end my fall
Please end the cold from shattered walls
Mirror mirror on shattered wall
I'm forever looking down your dark hall
You've warped my mind beyond recall
I hope you shatter when you fall

Lover's First Kiss

To her I tell another little secret
My world unfolds, while shinning in her eyes
For years I've walked never truly seeing
And now it's clear with her upon myside
I feel her touch, it's leaving me so breathless
My heart is racing, I'm feeling so alive
So tonight I'll lay dreaming in my wanting
Of the girl I kissed, for which my heart now thrives
With my first glance, she was so enchanting
As I looked up and saw her dancing in the sky
So to me she gave a smile of such beauty
So enticing was she, it took me by surprize
Love at first sight is only but a whisper
And when two stars meet, they'll shoot off into the night
Such beauty with such grace is a sonet when I kiss her
My heart is only longing for the secrets in her eyes
And when we are held in the arms of one another
Forever we will dream along the shooting stars of our own sky

One's Own Neverland

I press my hand against her breast and listen as she breathes
A heartbeat sounding forever on, so much said in one's own sleep
Her gentle dreams bring warmth to mind, an together we are held
A sleepless night within my mind is forgotten all to well
So there she lays in one's own sleep with a smile upon her heart
I hold her tight against my chest, then wish upon my star
Such a perfect world that I live in when she is next to me
It's as though fate spoke when we first met, an from there it was meant to be
Her dreams of warmth fall gently now and guide me to my sleep
A life of pain was all I knew, now my heart can know some peace
So in the night we lay here still, together in the dark
Untouched are we by simple pain, for complex is the love of hearts
So on she'll dream as I just listen with one's own pressing hand
As she tells her silent fairytale, we'll drift off to Neverland

Darkside of The Heart

I must confront my darkside and learn to let it go
To forgive my inner demons and the pain that I still hold
Consuming is this haunting, always hiding what I'm to be
These hardships that I am bearing are weighing down on me
I must find my own forgiveness to discover my own path
And not forget my darkside from the troubles of my past
My memories are apart of me and the man that I've become
If I close my eyes to ignore them, I'll know not where I am from
My struggles have been tiring, to where I am so weak
I must use these learnings wisely and struggle to my feet
A painful life of falling, so dark I can't recall
Might of left me injured but the healing defines us all
So when I show my darkside and start to fall apart
I'll think of all my falling and fight with all my heart

My Lonely Dove

Please fly to me my lost love dove
Up overhead in skies above
You hide in clouds so I can't see
Your teardrops fall, like rain you weep
O please my dove, please listen well
This heartbeat rising to where you fell
For all I have is not enough
I'd give it all just for your touch
Like strangers now I walk this ground
As you fly by, above, not found
I feel your presence as feathers fall
But when I look up only rain still falls
O my love, my lonely dove
Please come to me, I feel your love
I feel your heart and know your mind
With you so far I feel so blind
So on I'll walk as my word flies
And hope one day to behold your eyes
Because my dove, my only love
I see only you in skies above
