Ruined
Every victory
Written on parchment
But the ink is blurred
From the countless tears
I've shed
Every friend
Standing by my side
But their faces are hidden
By the darkness within
My mind
Written on parchment
But the ink is blurred
From the countless tears
I've shed
Every friend
Standing by my side
But their faces are hidden
By the darkness within
My mind

Post CommentTorch In the Blizzard
Love hasn't found its way to her yet
How can it?
Her heart has locked itself away
From the world
A world it views
Through the scars that won't heal
The wounds that still bleed
The tears she still cries...
In a world so cold
A heart worn on the sleeve
Exposes itself to the icy gusts
Left in the wake of those who walk past
Without a glance
In its direction
Perhaps this is why
She hides her heart from me...
Have I been too blind
To see the world for what it is?
Should I follow her example
And hide my heart as well?
How, then, will she hear
The kindred heart cry out to her?
How will she see
My torch in the blizzard?
How can it?
Her heart has locked itself away
From the world
A world it views
Through the scars that won't heal
The wounds that still bleed
The tears she still cries...
In a world so cold
A heart worn on the sleeve
Exposes itself to the icy gusts
Left in the wake of those who walk past
Without a glance
In its direction
Perhaps this is why
She hides her heart from me...
Have I been too blind
To see the world for what it is?
Should I follow her example
And hide my heart as well?
How, then, will she hear
The kindred heart cry out to her?
How will she see
My torch in the blizzard?

Post CommentThe Witness
My bleeding heart never runs dry,
but the more I try
to patch the wound
the worse it gets,
and the harder it is to forget.
Forget the terror in the eyes
of those whose peers have denied
them justice.
Forget the tremble in the voice
of those who think their only choice
is suicide.
Forget the angst in the heart
of those who seek the part
of themselves that resides within another.
Every suffering soul,
every scarred mind,
every broken heart
adds a tally to the sheet
and the tears I weep
that fall with the rain,
never to be seen again.

sadness over disappointment
I'm sad because
your not here
but when your here
your not there
When we talk
its like symantics
Words come out
but they fly away
No memories
No moments to share
I thought you
were the one
but time has spoken
its clear now
maybe I should say
bye to you for now
be stong and be clear
for time has spoken
it is no more...

Post CommentWhat Is Sorrow?
What is sorrow?
It's waiting outside in the rain
for someone who won't show.
It's being unable to finally let go.
What is sorrow?
It's a life that remains untouched
by the beauty of love.
It's the lack of strength to rise above.
What is sorrow?
It's a cry that goes unanswered,
a cry that no one hears.
It's losing the ones that you hold dear.
What is sorrow?
It's looking at your life
and watching it come apart.
It's a broken, weeping heart.
It's waiting outside in the rain
for someone who won't show.
It's being unable to finally let go.
What is sorrow?
It's a life that remains untouched
by the beauty of love.
It's the lack of strength to rise above.

and watching it come apart.
It's a broken, weeping heart.

Post CommentElusive Love
Lying in bed at the day's final hour, I am troubled by the solitude in which I once found comfort. The sense of security that I once felt has dissipated to reveal a desperation unlike any other.
As I close my eyes, I await sweet slumber and the freedom it brings from the troubled life I live. My consciousness fades and my heart takes flight, painting a beautiful scene of romance.
Relaxing under an old oak tree, I look to my soul mate lying next to me and take her hand in mine. We gaze into each other's eyes, conveying the unspoken desire within our hearts.
I look to the sky and can't help but notice the growing light from the afternoon sun, forcing me to turn away.
I am awakened by the morning light pouring through my window. It is then that I find myself lying in bed, staring at the empty space beside me once again.

HOG HAVEN
I HOPE THERE IS SUCH A PLACE; FOR THE WAY THEY ARE TREATED ON EARTH; IS SUCH A DISGRACE! THERE ARE SLAUGHTER HOUSES, WHERE BABIES ARE SCREAMING, WHILE THEIR PARENTS ARE MERCILESSLY TAKEN! TO WITNESS SUCH HORROR, WOULD SURELY LEAVE ANYONE QUITE SHAKEN! THERE HAS TO BE A BETTER WAY; AND I AM LIVING FOR THAT DAY, WHEN PEOPLE CAN LIVE SOLELY ON PIZZA, WITH TONS OF CHEESE, AND OTHER INGREDIENTS; THAT ARE DESIGNED TO PLEASE! LET US ALL UNITE TO SAVE THOSE PRECIOUS HOG FAMILIES; AND ONE DAY THE HOGS WILL SAY; THANK YOU SO MUCH EARTH PEOPLE FOR WE HAVE FINALLY FOUND A PLACE, WHERE WE CAN BE SAFE, RUN AND PLAY, FOR IN HOG HAVEN; WE CAN LOOK FORWARD TO THE START; OF A NEW DAY!

I LOVE FOOD THAT YOU DONT HAVE TO KILL ANIMALS TO ENJOY! TRY WAFFLES SMOTHERED IN BUTTER WITH PLENTY OF SYRUP AND STRAWBERRIES ON TOP!
Lonely Found A Place To Park
It's been a long day now
What can I say now
The night is here and it's dark
And lonely found a place to park deep within my heart
I had a nice masquerade for awhile I sat in the shade
Thought I had it made then evening fell and put a spell
Of sadness in my heart
When lonely found a place to park
Everybody is saying goodnight
Moma's tell their kiddies to sleep tight
Bad luck is never polite outside an old dog barks
And lonely found a place to park
What can I say now
The night is here and it's dark
And lonely found a place to park deep within my heart
I had a nice masquerade for awhile I sat in the shade
Thought I had it made then evening fell and put a spell
Of sadness in my heart
When lonely found a place to park
Everybody is saying goodnight
Moma's tell their kiddies to sleep tight
Bad luck is never polite outside an old dog barks
And lonely found a place to park

Lost Love
All she wanted was to feel loved
Mother didn't want her
Wouldn't give her up
Nothing she could do was ever good enough
No matter how hard she tried
She was made to cry
She always tried to please
Only to be teased
She began to act tough
Only made life rough
Her self esteem was poor
She was always being called a whore
If only they knew
She had never been kissed
She became a mother
She fed her children with lots of love,hugs and kisses
Mother didn't break her
She cause her to set a goal
To love her children more then life itself
This little girl with a great big soul
Mother didn't want her
Wouldn't give her up
Nothing she could do was ever good enough
No matter how hard she tried
She was made to cry
She always tried to please
Only to be teased
She began to act tough
Only made life rough
Her self esteem was poor
She was always being called a whore
If only they knew
She had never been kissed
She became a mother
She fed her children with lots of love,hugs and kisses
Mother didn't break her
She cause her to set a goal
To love her children more then life itself
This little girl with a great big soul

Post CommentOH BLESSED ROOSTER
YOU VOLUNTEER TO PROTECT THE HENS, AND CROW TO ALERT MANKIND OF THE APPROACHING DAWN; TIME TO GET UP AND GET READY FOR A NEW MORN! LAST WEEK, I WATCHED THREE ROOSTERS PLAYING MERRILY IN A FIELD; I WAVED TO THEM, AND ONE LOOKED AT ME, AND I FELT HIM SAY; HI TRAVIS; THANKS FOR CARING; AND HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY! I RETURNED LATER WITH SOME FOOD FOR MY NEW FOUND FRIEND; ONLY TO DISCOVER, THAT TRAGEDY HAD BEFALLEN THEM; AND THEY HAD REACHED A HORRIBLE END! I PLACED THEIR BODIES UNDER A HUGE BEAUTIFUL TREE; WHERE THEY WOULD FOREVER BE WATCHED OVER SO HEAVENLY! OH BLESSED ROOSTER; ONE DAY, WHEN YOU SEE THE MONSTERS BEING BROUGHT TO JUSTICE; JUST BREAK OUT IN A BIG SMILE; AND BLOW THEM A KISS!
