Love Is Going To Win

 

Love Is Going To Win


It was strange how it did begin

Knock out words for the win


Hearts on fire

Filled with desire

I think love is going to win


All it took was one look at you

Aura that shows the truth


Hearts on fire

Filled with desire

I think love is going to win


Words you choose, the things you say

I could never turn away


Hearts on fire

Filled with desire

I think love is going to win

Existential Crisis

 

Existential Crisis


He steps up to the plate

He takes centre stage

He breathes in the foul air

Because it is all the rage


He marries young

He has two kids

Takes a job so he can live

Whatever that does mean


He drinks and smokes

Takes unnecessary risks

Doesn't think things through

He opts but doesn’t pick


His crisis looms

He wants more

He feels the rut of his choices

His options long ago were rather staid


He sees the world differently

He sees the world limiting his is

Calibrated by circumspect

Owned by societal bliss


An existential crisis looms 

Mass hysteria paves the way

“You are so different than all the others

Why must you be this way?”


Will it ever end?

The rhythm goes on an on

Playing with his head

Same old familiar song.

Meanings Are Inferred

 

Meanings Are Inferred


I love to listen to

The songs that you sing

Long into the night

Feel the warmth that you bring

Filling me with delight


Chase away the darkness

Clearing of the mind

Defining in the starkness

Another place another time


Certain feelings that were felt

Certain thoughts that did occur

Life is but a threshold

Of meanings that are inferred

Methods In The Madness

 

Methods In The Madness


Doors are open

Inviting

Awaiting their fate

Doors are open

Urging one

To contemplate


There are methods in the madness

There are fires in the soul

There are candles to be lit

Desiring self control


There are bells to be wrung

Hearts to be set on fire

Imaginations to be captured

Falling within desire


Minds are open

Appealing

Sharing quiet worlds

Minds are open

Elaborate

When you feel the need

Almost There

 

Almost There


The words flowed easily

The melody overpowered

By the intent

The songs caught

Amidst attempts

To invent

Searching for a sound

Almost there

It doesn’t take long

When they dare

How they did dare.

And So It Goes

 

And So It Goes


The barbed wire fence sent a message

A stark city street was aware

Mothers packed up their children

Doorsteps said beware


One day there was a vehicle

Driven by despair

Moments built on lack of trust

Unyielding to compare


And so it goes

Hearts built by a rose

And so it goes

Where one never knows


A simple song was written

Under dark blue skies

Lending itself to a vision

Dark dogs wonder why

Dreams Live Forever

 

Dreams Live Forever


Songs fill my heart

Looking for a place to start

Dreams live forever


I wish that you were here

So far yet so near

Dreams live forever


On a road to nowhere

On a road because you care

Dreams live forever


A hand reaches out to give aid

Another reaches to be paid

Dreams live forever


You give yourself in love

You give yourself in time

You give yourself in reaching out

Improving by design


Dreams live forever

Dreams live forever

In our hearts

Dreams live forever

No Time

 

No Time


No discussions

No explanations

No time to demonstrate love

No time to demonstrate care

No time to provide understanding

No time to show they cared

No time to be a family

No time to deliver some warmth

No time for anything

That showed love at its core

A New World To Embrace

 

A New World To Embrace


Wake up without a face

You are gone without a trace

A new world to embrace


Eating breakfast all alone

Sitting all day by the phone

A new world to embrace


A new world to embrace


Eating lunch by the tv

Not believing what I see

A new world to embrace


A new world to embrace

Everyday

A new world to embrace

Everyway


I dine with an empty chair

All I do is sit and stare

A new world to embrace


I sit alone on the bed

Think of things I really dread

A new world to embrace

Words

 

Words


There are words to remember

Words of hope

Words full of grace

Words that impact on meaning

Words that help

You interface


There are so many words

So many choices of

Where to begin

When your thoughts have words

It’s a sign

That life’s a win
