Chapter One

I wanted something new and true,
I thought something right would come from you;
Like my soul had begun to explain to me,
To be loved by you would make me free;
To feel the happiness complete and true,
All I needed was to fall in love with you.


You are everything that no one else could ever be,
You are the light in the tunnel that made me see;
You are the beating of my heart and soul,
You are the completion of my life's goal;
You are the flowers in my garden of love,
You are all of the beauty of a flying dove;
You are forever in un-numbered days,
I am in love with you in every way.


Once hands were tied,
Eyes were closed,
Shoes untied,
Ears deaf to the voices,
On knees and weak,
Attempted to open eyes,
Squinting – you appeared,
Back to my feet,
Intrigued by you I listened,
Your voice of whispers,
I am that one – you said,
Your lips never moved,
We both became mystified,
Then utter silence,
I felt you love me,
It has all returned,
In my arms I held you,
So close that we were one,
Our lives combined to one soul,
Forever you became the Destiny.


It's a tearless dawn,
It's fearless and gone,
Sometimes there is compromise,
Eventually moisture fills one's eyes,
So much, they get tangled in the lies,
Sometimes it threatens and then it dies.


Dreams of gold, not of this but of tomorrow;
Years of waiting, but never to be of sorrow;
Not to inherit, not to win, just bounty of labors;
Hard compromises with the likes to eventually savor;
Laughing aloud at one that is able to carry the thrown;
When they sit before you, remember you've become unknown.


Dreams touched by fingertips,
Palms of sweaty grasps lose grip,
Pulling away from the silent desires,
Wanting all that burns in the fire.


Morning songs from the darkness of the leaves,
Calming thoughts too symphonic to believe,
Eyes still blistered of the night's past,
Remembrances of love that will not last;
Winds carry time before you in taunts,
Wishes for memories that will not haunt;
Clearing the breath from your soul,
Confusion embedded where to go;
Beauty lies before you in mystic places,
Your eyes open to see new faces;
Smiles cover them in full,
But cautions set and you wonder their goal;
Found deep inside the memory of last,
The test is complete and you have passed.


The darkness consumes me,
All I ever wanted was to be free,
The air - it never changes,
My head always rearranges,
The echoes come from outside,
I move distances that seem very wide,
I know there is another out there,
I keep hearing them - maybe they don't care,
I guess that I will always wonder since I can't see,
Just a toy - inside a ping pong ball, I will always be.


Temptation you provoke me,
Broke free as it spoke to me,
Fear of failures caution me,
My soul has been rationed, I'm free.


Rain of red cover me,
Clouds of gray threaten me,
It pours upon me with no resistance,
Rainbows turn of blackness to all,
Triumph – a world disintegrates,
Awakened to one's fears,
Nightmares continue through the day,
Primal screams that no one can hear,
Oceans of mud washing them away,
Tears falling from eyes as icicles,
It is a world in which they have created,
Remembrance of yesterday – now only forgotten,
Rains of red in love with me,
Rains of red have covered me.


Love Is Painful

Love is confusing; it has a disguise,
Some say that it comes with so many lies.
We don't know, but it makes us feel great,
But when this love is over it carries hate.


With time I chose to sit alone,
Finding in no one - standards of my own,
The Devine guides me by day,
I search for you and pray,
Soon our souls will meet I see,
One day you arrive just for me.


We met so far away,
Although no one could see,
Loving you every day,
Just as you love me,
Now so many wonder,
Why our love is so true,
We are rolling thunder,
I am forever in Love with you.


Passion hot as an eternal flame,
Now cold as ice,
Silent laughter,
Is it the mood?
Lost, lost more than that extinct,
Thoughts of becoming foreign,
One's own mind diluted,
Realities unexpressed,
Devil's blood or Holy water,
Feelings are spiritual,
One's thoughts disgraced.


Even though you may not comprehend my dreams and visions,
I have seen in them the truth of my very own realities.


Struggling – struggling all the way through life,
Pushing so desperate, can't even feel the knife,
I've tried so hard - blind to what is the use,
Was I misled or was it just self-abuse?


Love is good, it should be true,
He got AIDS because of you,
Tell him how you could lie,
Along with you many will die,
What you have we cannot fight,
Giving it to others is just not right,
You did it once and then again,
We feel sorry for all those men,
You were wrong and could not live,
For all you had was death to give.


Sometimes in life one hopes to be wrong,
Then finds that they are right,
So many out there tend to fail,
Yet you must still fight.


Dad

You brought me into this world
To give me love and show how much you care,
As I sit here looking at our picture
I remember the stories we used to share,
I know sometimes I was a problem
And maybe even I was just a big pain,
But as I look at the one whose resemblance I carry
I know that someday I too will have a child to name,
Even though I was far from the best
I know you will always be my father for all of my years,
I look at this picture and I see two of the same.
When you are hurting – Dad- I cry the same tears,
Please don't look down on me for all of my mistakes,
Because I look up to you even when you cry.
Everything that I am I must thank you for
I know we love each other dearly I'll tell you why,
Because father I am in your wondrous image
My only question is why we are as separate as two;
I just want to say you're my father to love and respect,
The one who cares so I thank you and I Love You.


Time dwindles on endlessly,
Found another desperate lost soul,
Reasons gone on to another,
Wholeness completely one's goal.


Tears of blood fall from my eyes,
Remembering deceitful lies;
Awaking late into the night to scream my name,
Living lies you cannot lose your shame;
Futile attempts of redemption don't understand,
Everything had been given for your every demand;
You have forgotten my name but I dream of you,
Have you found insanity, as only I was to do;
Conceptual perceptions truth now dead,
Now you know what's so wrong in your head;
To die lonely is an awful way to go,
Always I feel you're beautiful to know;
Kiss me in heaven that is all I ask,
Loving you was my hardest task.


I look up, I look up, and what do I see?
All of them are waving back at me;
I look down, I look down, and some of...
