It Fuels My Fire

 

It Fuels My Fire


A world of dreams

Has passed me by

I keep failing

Yet I try

I sense 

A pattern


Only in dreams

It once was said

It is not what

I have read

I seek

To know now


I am living dreams

And it fuels my fire

I am living dreams


I hesitate

To understand

I return to living

Off the land

I gather

Information 


I travel far 

Into the night

I learn that love 

Has taken flight

My heart

Is not broken

Meant To Be

 

Meant To Be


In my life

I have been places

I followed my heart

Alone and free


In my life

I have seen faces

Seen all the traces

What life could be


I have lived

I have loved

I have traveled

I have been

I have dreamed

I have learned

I have pondered

I have seen


I am here

I am now

I am who 

I want to be

I am loved

I am happy

I am here

I am now

I am meant to be


Love me like there is no tomorrow

Love me there will be no sorrow

Let our love be wild and free

Let there be the love that is meant to be

Once There Was You

 

Once There Was You


Once there was a simple love

Once there was a heart so true

Once there was a moment in time

Once there was you


Once there were open dreams

Once there was a way and means

Once was so long ago it seems

Once there was you


Everyone should open their heart

Feel the love from the start

See the path to shared needs

Once there was you


Once there was a path to my heart

Once there was a place to start

Once there was a place in time

Once there was you

Can You Believe It

 

Can You Believe It


I heard a word

Heard a word

Heard a word 

It’s true

I found a path

Found a path

Found a path

To you

I never thought

Never thought

Never thought

Ooo ooo 

I wonder what

Wonder what

Wonder what

To do


What we did see

Did you feel it

What we did see

Can you believe it


It was a darkened night

Wind blowing through your hair

Living the life

Living the dream


You smiled your smile

Smiled your smile

Smile your smile

To me

No time to rest

Time to rest

Time to rest

Couldn’t see

Move way too fast

Way too fast

Way to fast

Had to be

It had to last

Had to last

Had to last

Meet the need

Light Slips In

 

Light Slips In

Light slowly slips in

Eyes need to adjust

Another broken dream

From dawn to dusk

Wanting only rest

From a weary night

Need to find a path

Lead me to delight


Need to see the reason

Let it slip away

There were no kind words

That could make you stay

My heart is broken

The path is not clear

My mind does suffer

No end I do fear


Winter has its tale

Snow blind has a fate

Wanting my new spring

It has been delayed

Knew you were restless

Always wanted more

My heart is open

But could not implore

For Me To See

 

For Me To See


The road is long 

The road is wide

I need you

By my side

When I am tired

When I am beat

I need you

For me to see


This day’s for you

For all you do

Celebrate

Elaborate

When dreams come true

It becomes you

Concentrate

Activate


Ride like the wind

Let the fun begin

Take your time

It’s all fine

Be there with me

Let’s make it be

In the sun

Having fun

Homeless

 

Homeless


Portrait In the window

Visions in the dark

Loneliness in disguise

Benches in the park

 The numbers are growing

Whispering time and again

Media portrays sorrow

The truth is never let in


Listen as the feet shuffle

Hair is falling down

Stomachs are growling

Coats pulled around

Feel the rivers flowing

Raging around their ears

Weather is not an issue

Only outsiders fears


Handouts on the corner

Cardboard in the alley

Walk in kitchen supper

Where hearts do often rally

Feel the winter wind blowing

Wrapped in frozen panes

Still they keep on walking

On and on again

Love Came Walking To My Door

 

Love Came Walking To My Door


Love came walking to my door

Unlike any love I had before

Softly asked could it come in

Said I’ve been looking where you have been


Love didn't even try

To play games with my heart

Love didn’t even wait

For a place to start

This type of love is new


Love came walking to my door

It pushed all the buttons I have explored

Spoke to my heart in ways I felt true

Spoke to my heart in ways I knew


Love came walking to my door

Kept asking for some more

How much does one have to give

Love learns to live and let live?

Crime To Wonder

 

Crime To Wonder


Talk like there is no tomorrow

Have a brow that is so furrowed

Live a life that is filled with sorrow

Beg steal or maybe borrow


Take a look at life

What do you see


What’s yours is mine through theology

No time to refine your ideology

Take a step up from your biology

Not waiting for your apology


Take a look at life

What do you see


Is it a crime

To wonder

What should come to pass

Is it a crime

To wonder

What is first or last

Is it a crime to wonder

About where you live

Is it a crime to wonder

What you have to give


Is it a crime

Is it a crime
