Peel away the rotten apples that I sneezed out from my eyes
They will never be forgotten, but their infected by all those worms inside
The core was once the center of life, but now it has grown soft
As this baby has grown older and is no longer cute at all
Their skin is misbehaving and they leave an old fermenting smell
All the secrets they've been keeping I wonder what they would tell
As I dwell upon these memories, but there aren't any facts
Only counter intuitive directions mislead by simple acts
This apple is for my daughters and this one is for my friends
These are from my childhood memories, the ones I hoped would never end
And these are for my family here is my dear old mom and dad
I am still wishing for those moments, but they are never coming back
Now I sail away into oblivion, because there is nothing left inside
Just a little boy who loved to dream, but that part of me has also died

Only the lonely fine last nights
tears in the palm of their hands..

Only the lonely pour their
souls out to walls that
cannot hear

Only the lonely can see their
quivering lips in that old
cracked mirror

And only the lonely will hear
a weeping God mend their
broken heart-

Heavens opened with anticipation
of goodness and happiness
your birth brings
to a world so sick and tired
of inequities and sins.

You grew up destined to rule
but first subjected to ridicule
yet with an open heart accepted
even as you were tortured
crucified and disrespected.

But alas
with trumpets thundering loud
in a world so mighty and proud
it finally came to realize
you are the mighty Savior, the Christ

And so the story goes
as battle of good and evil continues
and it looks like we are on the good side
gaining the momentum worldwide.

And so my heart will sing out loud
Merry Christmas to all of us...

sinking in the maelstrom
of tumultuous thoughts
caught in the rage of storms
blizzards of gales unforgiving
as your bipolar moods
like prisms of light so blinding
grinding me so frayed
down to the core of my bones
but..
even as wasted and hopeless
I have become
it's my time to turn around
unflinching and untiring
no more giving up
I will face you head on
oh mighty and brutish shadow
oh wicked and diabolical
spirit of my past
I have had enough
it's time for me to be free
to be solo again
facing my future on my own
alone, and even if I fail
over and over again
I will not be your slave
anymore, I am so done
I will not succumb
this time
nor will I run ever again
God is my witness
I am finally free.

I will move on.

sailing into stars
finding a sparkle
behind the mirror
one soul smiles
within that dream
dancing silver shadows
reflections from
the deep ocean

a soft
yet gentle light
pillows within
one soul
sweetly singing
touching feelings
emotions stir
brewing waves

crashing around
your beautiful feet
kissing gently
white washed emotion
silky touch
salted lips
drinking from
the cup
in such beauty
a shining angel

Candle light the dark side of the moon
I have kept this part of me from you
Decorate my heart just like a grave
As I bury this love deep inside and softly away
Without sovereignty I lay silenced and still in your womb
Shoveling dirt on my face until my bodies consumed
A rare flower in bloom you carefully placed in my hands
I gave it myself with my life, but you took it right back
Its the scent of a roses beauty that I cannot explain
Or why Im losing my soul its the same with the scent of the rain
Even beneath the cold earth my shadow has no place to hide
Just as your smile still burns the back of my eyes

are we all
just a hoard
of writers
i look
at you all
as extended
friends and family
everyone knows me
they know how i feel
about you love

i thought
you love me
or is that
just to be heard
in beautiful paradise
and trying to get
to know me

it was
an amazing experience
who want's to be
a millionaire
the whole thing
just blew my mind
so very beautiful
glowing my inner eye
i never seen anything
really bad that i done
or even sad for that matter
or even what i said
if it is miss interpeted
in any shape nor form
i am so sorry darling
if in any way
i offended you
or upset you
in any way

i thought
that i had something
for real this time
all i have ever wanted
to do sweetest heart
to show you
something beautiful

even over thousands
of miles apart
i adored you
you where my
early morning dew
the stars in the sky
sprinkling light
my fairy tale

you got me honey
hook line and sinker
maybe i am just
very very naive
to thing
you would
love me darling
from so far away

sometimes with
you baby
i feel
such a softness
in my heart
exploding you
like it was fit
to burst

i will shower
you all over
with roses
how i feel
loving you darling
it touched me
in the deepest ocean

your docked
in the port
of my life
wishing i was
all over you honey
butterflying kissing
your neck
whispering softly
i love you

I see smiles
lips that move
the smooth talkin’
with fangs that drool.

In my younger days
would take you on
now that I’m older
here’s my swan song.

No passion to share
just look in my eyes
been used too much
I can read your lies.

Yesterday drifts
connect the dots
you’ll never capture
what’s left in my heart.

So as I drift
and sink...
into the Sphinx
You better run
before you think.

Come my friend..walk
with me
I know the sun is hot
and the day is long
The nights are cold and
lonely, and the road
seems much to long
You go into the city to
feast upon its delights,
and once you've had your
fill you come away empty
Whe you're alone in your
chambers you try to unravel
the mysteries of your own mind
as though it were a toy under
a christmas tree
But what have you found as
you tear the brightly coloured
paper with all its external glitter?
There it was! A little lock box with
a golden key taped to the side..
A small card attached which read:
'Your mind inside.'
Excited, you grab the golden key
and pop open this mysterious box..
You pause for a moment as a frown
falls over your face
Where was your mind?
You feel cheated..
You feel ripped off..
And empty box you cry out?
'Where is my mind you shout
out!?'
For days you remained in your
house refusing to see anyone
Days turned into months, and
then months into years
You became a bitter old man, and
would only drag out your mind box
to see if anything would materialize
Finally when your very old you make
your way to the dusty shelf and take
down your mind box one more time..
You open the little box and just stare at its
emptiness
Overcome with with all your sorrow
and misfortune, you shed a little tear
which falls into the little box
Suddenly the box begins to glow!
You feel a change in your body!
Your wrinkled face begins to feel
smooth
You find yourself back under the
christmas tree again just like when
you first opened the box!
You are young and alive once
again!
All those years searching for your
mind, and yet the golden key would
not reveal her secret until you deposited
a lil tear in the box..
You closed the lil box feeling all warm
inside because you have discovered
that your heart was always the key
to your mind-

I have a love, my heart so wishes that she knew
What ploys and desires can I invoke to win her hand?
She treads so lightly so as not to disturb the morning dew
And her delicate heart never leaves a mark upon the sand

Oh love of mine please look to where this soul is residing
At the edge of the entire world it sees only thine reflection
Can you not see that my adoration is forever abiding
I would sacrifice all for a moment of your divine affection

For willows cannot weep more than mine own eyes
Yet as the rivers flow and carry my dreams to thee
All I can see is your vision across all the clouded skies
And your look of devotion would forever encompass me

Love, Oh love do not smite me with a dismissing hand
For no greater passion can be found across this land
