sonnet: world

Looking upon a sad forgotten face,
an old story reels out in such a way.
Like many before with a want of grace,
for something as simple as a bright day.

Children gone without food countless a night,
always in a thought of what love could be.
Mothers without a sense of wrong or right,
with thick tears so heavy they cannot see.

A never ending battle against strife,
a fate monster lives in dreams smothered deep.
They somehow move on with reason in life,
all of these things live which make a heart weep.

If you let the world make a change in you,
you can change the world with words but a few.

gloomy days?

theres a feeling that matches mother nature
sometimes when it rains..
it makes me wanna hate her
its so dark
especially when it tears at my heart
its the kind of rain that falls straight down
and turns my stomach upside down
gripping the wall just insnt enough
when i miss you..
its pretty rough
maybe because ive fallen so hard for you
thats why i fall so far when you are gone too
thats the first time i cried in those jeans
cuz every other memory
has been better than i could imagine it be
with 'i believe in love' stitched on the butt
i must have found the ultimate love
its just waiting for you
like waiting out rain
gets to me all the way through
and theres nothing else i can blame
but mother nature's falling rain

goodness gracious

and god said that it was good making the light and leaving the dark as egual to see





black and white
theres solid light
and darkest night
they come together
only just right
the in between
is the most beautiful thing
that you have ever seen
half black
half white
mixin to gether
to form a sunrise
others stop
stop and stare
they look at
what is there
some miss out
they just dont see
whats become of the in between
every morning they see it mesh
the sky's light with the dark night
but somehow its new to you
new to me
new to them
when its between you and me
they stop and stare
and look at
what is there
some miss out
they just dont see
what had become of the in between

reluctance


come on come on you're running on slow
come on come on i really wanna go
quit fightin me here, you'll be fine my dear
you'll miss this bliss a magnificent glow

unwillingness has brought you low
if you'd jus let yourself be reckless and go
and quit fightin me here, you'll be fine my dear
you'll feel the fascination of a love and you'll know

that everything in the world as you see
is nothing compared to you and me
darkness and light can have its fight
but even if we were smack in between
you and i, we'll still be

come on come on lets run not slow
come on come on i really wanna go
and feel like emotions round a circus show
suprised but ready
ready for more

get rid of your reluctance,
i'll have no more

smile smile

ive tried and ive tried
ta make my own smile
but i cant and ive cried
till i found yours was worth while
you caught me off guard
and i fell in love with tomorrow
that id get to see you
walk towards me in style

stranger

a brand new mess of a perfect world
her eyes dont reflect whats gonna crush her
a smile cuz shes young and she dont understand a word
there was a runner
a love
now just a story up above
but shell find him in a stranger

some people have got it
C FOR CONFIDENCE
they face a fear and run so hard like nothins near
and runnin for kicks they really love it
like excitement edgin on danger
shes gonna find him in a stranger

times where everything shes done crushes down in a moment
passes through her mind and theres no way in hell that she can hold it..in
in her eyes
in her tears
in her up side down smile
itll only be a while till shell also smile
learning of his miles his light his passion
is there in a stranger

~a runners passion, it becomes a part of you, the same in many, and links but strangers

i wanna know why

i can't fix your life, i wanna try
but all i do is sit n' cry
i can't fix your life, only you can try
so many tears taught me that, before i said goodbye
i can't fix your life, i can't fix your life
maybe its better if i just leave
i see its better off just letting you be
i dont have enough left to fight for you
i dont have enough left to just try for me
when my heat wanted to run with yours
thats when i learned, i learned a truth
i cant fix your reckless life
even though ive tried and tried
you cant always run and hide
im not strong enough to hold you to a light
you have to try for your life
you have to try for yourself
i cant fix what has made me cry
you can only change if you, yourself, can see why
the day came when i embraced your ways
now i couldnt imagine you being another way
i love it dont change those reckless days
i cant fix it, i cant fix your life
im glad i cant
if you were different now,
maybe i'd cry.

Sometimes you have to be your own genie
and make a wish
a wish for becoming
a wish to believe
or a wish for a friend
a wish to make
an isuperable memory

i've been to a place
where others' culture didn't match my face
rain came warm every night
near the ocean, to wash away
dirt built up from walking everywhere that day

i've been there
been in that most simple space, and
been in a most hated lavish place
for granted that it came my wish for becoming
for granted that it came my wish to believe

i've been there
but not quite where you take me here
my genie wish
granted with you
MY BOY MY FUN MY DREAM AT NIGHT
my wish for a friend come true
you have no idea what i think of you
cuz i cant help it
i love you!

200 years

i was feeling a bit history-influenced...


There’s an old wooden broken down door
closed and shattered across an old dirt floor
gone with the struggles of Sojourner Truth
And legions of others who came before

Curled up and sort of hunched over
I can’t keep out such thoughts of wonder
Were they scared
Did they fear
Was there one prospect they just fought to hear

Hoping to open paths of new
Giving up their days for you
And Leader’s speeches promising a day
Of equality and freedom
So that someone could see you smile that way

tears and fears

tears are coming from the sky

fears are claiming their victims cry

a thunder cracks on an innocent face

closing in on a hopeful place

a first thought is to let go

its easy to just fall and break

but

i told her not to be afraid

i told her everything that he had said

his words brought a picture to life

that in my mind theres nothing like

a son in hands of life alike

go and find jesus

go and look for his smile

its there even when its been a while

i know that is seems hard

and i know that it seems gone

really, what is love when there are tears striking ground

what is love when there are fears all around

still go, and find jesus

go look for his smile

its there even if it has been a while


it will be okay

no need to wait for rain

the shine is there

fight stonger than it

you can stay

i know you'll find Him

find him

today

tears are coming from the sky

fears are claiming their victims cry

a thunder cracks on an innocent face

closing in on a hopeful place

a first thought is to let go

its easy to just fall and break

but

i see

you found jesus today



a needed prayer for a love, jesus is but a needed love, for a need he is there with love.

a red guitar

A little girl a face of jade
shes a love that music likes to play
her song picked out in but silent space
just a red guitar plays out her ways.

A piece of ribbon all tied up in bows
her eyes just look up as if she knows
that shes loved til' a fake flower dies
that shes loved when she breaks n' cries.

Shes kept close to a heart
and shes worth more than a midnight star.

Perfect curles is where he got it from
she grew up and he slid it on
a bow wrapped around her finger
there to keep
to keep
forever.

Shes a love that music likes to play
her song picked out in but silent space
just a red guitar picking out her ways.

To forget everything in the world to be
to forget everything in the world to see
to lay on his chest
and fall asleep
just listening to
his heart beat.

Her eyes look up as if she knows
that shes loved as far as forever goes
that shes kept close to a heart
and shes worth more than a midnight star.

his promise kept
he kept his promise
for precious curls to tie a bow
for a little girl of a face of jade
shes his love that music likes to play
her song picked out in but silent space
just a red guitar plays out her ways...

the man on the moon

the man on the moon can you bring
can you bring the world i see
a lift maybe some of your dignity

so he says

dont come to me dont try to stay
your fear today will be the same tomorrow
as will be thick tears of sorrow
dont run away to fix it dont stay

her heart
wants to meet the man on the moon.
staring up
not sure why it broke so soon
it broke on a flat note
like a violin was ready
ready for a new tune

the man on the moon

i guess you forgot
forgot about u and me
well boy u made me see

u broke it and tried to fixx it
but all u did was
mix

can you bring the world i see
a lift maybe sum of your dignity

so he says
dont run away dont run away
dont come to me dont try to stay
your fear today will be the same tomorrow
now wipe your tears that drip black sorrow
dont run away to fix it dont stay

face the tears about it pray
go out and do, dont sit on me the moon
not sure why it broke so soon
like a violin was ready
ready for a new tune
the man on the moon
yeah
somehow he knew

his song was right
so i dried my eyes
and now i dont have to wait for a sunrise
dont run away dont run away
dont sucumb to fear and face the gray
about it pray n sunrise's mite will stay

only but a reflection is the moon
a reflection i found of love he knew
the man on the moon can you bring
can you bring the world i see
a lift maybe sum of your dignity

so he says
dont run away dont run away
dont come to me dont try to stay
your ferar today will be the same tomorrow
a tear no more, no more black sorrow
dont run away to fix it dont stay

within the dark of today
a heart's a spark
so that you may
read the mark
dont run away
dont run away

a prayer from Him

to keep a dream is to win within
down the road is a broken heart,
which the unknown has taken apart,
i don't know and i can't see why he is taken away from the dream,
he was so close i was glad to see that he left in knowing his dream would be achieved,
a prayer for him,
for his dream to win,
because the sun's face it cries today so that maybe tomorrow he'll find his way,
a prayer for him and his dream it wins,
for his boy's a smile from within,
not make it through the world and fate,
but make the world a lesser hate,
with through his love the son shines today.
joe my friend for you i pray
to keep a dream is to win within

to carve out a heart


a heart, it's so much. it's a life, and it holds love.
every time in a hug, every smile it knows of.
you and me, the sun can see its carved out on a tree.
it knows of.
a stumble on truth, a fall and all breaks loose.
colors of a sunset on the tree, still love reflects.
red and orange it's true, flip it over to me and you.
so the sun can still see, that it's carved out on the tree...
it knows of.
how your heart made me cry.
tears of joy,
and that is what, your heart sounds like.

the sun

and it shines
as it reflects from the sky
eyes look up
wonder lets out a sigh
there's a dream out there
but there is fear
is a heart able to get there
nailed to a cross
his life was lost
he bled n' cried
for you he died
the sun,
yeah
sometimes it cries
but there is a dream out there
only fear fear
always there
is a heart able to get there
yes it shines
as it reflects but from the sky
eyes look up
wonder sighs
faith you try spell life
the heart keeps true
an' in the mornin'
the sun still shines bright.
