A distracted world
lay on its back
Tickled by a materialistic god
…and I am empty inside
Hoisting up a fading smile I shop to own the priceless
True wealth rumored to be free
I have been working tirelessly
…Is this what my life is to be?
Decaying for another mans goal Spending all my time …in the rearview of our front porch
The hours tick by
Like a slow melting ice
…begging for sun
I am frozen in this cubicle
Away from my loves
To give them a life
But what about playing on an impulse?
And rising beyond looming icicles
…That I could die hung over this keyboard Still dreaming of a life with you
Grieving the seconds I never said your name! I should rise up, and be my own sun! Unthaw a buried intuition Take your hand to sketch my change An invaluable recognition… Dying for joy, and daring to live the stories That make up the glorious lines …in the earths face
now i lay naked without my walls I’ve no one to blame but myself it is no one’s fault but mine The ricochet of silly dreams and backhand of belief The fruitless hope forcing buds like me She’s a damn fighter
The Lord is all I have I am clinging to Him with my whole being in this blazing heat I am quivering Lord I pray for life that i may not shrink away show me how you love your daughter the metaphorical change to wine from water Rain rubies and diamonds glimpses into heaven Misted in perfect falls of love
My eyes are black in this pulseless life sparks extinguished the loneliness of night You did not search You were already there waiting with quiet arms in my blue dreamers chair I crawled upon your lap A baby with no tears unblock these caged emotions unmute my screaming layers frozen to cry this hour I wail rock me to sleep
