A land where milk and honey flow
That lies somewhere in that great beyond
Many say I am a fool to believe this I know
Still I have something they do not understand
Within my heart there is joy that is hard to contain
For I am convinced my life is guided by an unseen hand
The Eternal ruling inside me as his domain
I have tasted of the land of joy, beauty and peace
Oh the blessings of singing songs of praise
Tit bits of the things of God my appetite to tease
Confident I am owned by the Ancient of Days
No drug or Booze can make me happy like this
I just want to keep going on
Having no fear of side effects or overdose
No hangover or headache from indulging too much
Go to bed ecstatically high and wake still singing praise
And when things are not right I just tune in to Jesus
Joy start flowing taking me to new heights
Oh yes I believe this is just the appetizer
The full course I’ll be served when I get to that land
If this is being deceived I want to remain deceived
For the rest of my life and for eternity
I Love it

On such a serene cool winter night
The calmness beckons old memories in
I see your face where shines the moon light
On yonder curving soft white parrafin
Your soft white face as if cast in wax of white
Its solid shape now pulls me toward and in
And now my heart won't acknowlege past plight
The memories old of the love resembling sin
The love so joyous could not be a Godly sight
We loved so much sweet girl of supple skin
Tis no doubt we commited a near fatal blight
We hosted a love far beyond where love has been
If this had been nectar from the god's so bright
We feasted til full and took others' share unseen
We took twice our share and thought it alright
Laughing, living and loving til it seemed quite obscene
Then Perhaps our energy used and becoming slight
We slowly wasted away in a drifting way serene
Such that I only want to remember the early night
And drift away slowly before the end of the dream

Once upon a time
In the land of word and rhyme
I stumbled on a lady
Whose verse was so sublime
Clever and articulate
Her ink shone so bright
It opened up my eyes
And turned on an inner light
There was passion in her words
There was warmth in her soul
There was knowledge in her history
There was direction in her goal
We shared many thoughts
And talked for hours on end
And decided to marry
Near a waterfall shared with friends
It was a beautiful day
There was happiness in the air
Three and a half years later
Our love has grown with care
Nurtured by tender hands
And consideration to share
We reflect on our journey
When loneliness was our despair
I take this time to highlight
How much you mean to me
Everyday I am amazed
By the beauty that I see
You warm my heart deeply
Your smile melts me through
I have been truly blessed
To share a life with you .........

Theres a boneyard to time
locked in the back of my mind
a place hopes and dreams
of youthful thoughts wonder so lost
a gloomy place that shades of black
are woven so tight no light will ever shine
i sit on my rock looking around
at bad memories reliving their lives
theres a bar filled with regrets and choices lost
a graveyard of broken hearts
fenced in with rotten wood
and a tree that stands in the middle of it all leafless and decaying to the core
the ravens sit perched, they call it home
A shop called Things that could of been
has it's lights on
standing next to a locked park
with the wish lake all dried up and swings over taken by rust
A library once filled with books
known as my intelligents has burnt to the ground
and i come here often to visit
on the whiskey boat

The storm that never came
Those flashes of distant light
That low rumble of thunder acclaim
Went well to the west in the night
Where hid the wind and water more
Once again as we gaze from our blind
Taking those long walks on the shore
Already our footsteps vanishing behind
Where the future meets the past
And when the starry nights form
You say how much longer will it last
Still waiting silently for the next storm

WORTH LESS
this girl feels so weak and courageless.
everyday of her life this girl feels worthless.
she hides behind the makeup and all the laughs.
but in side of her there is nothing left.
she knows the truth but she hides from the world.
shes just a young goofy girl,
and she feels judged by the world.
she cares of what they think of her and what they see.
she wants so bad just to be free.
the make up and clothes dont change,or prove anything.
you cant change what people will think.
she looks in the mirror and see worthless.
she doesnt feel like life is really worth it.
she feels so weakbut she knows shes strong and,
she never quits.

Focus on your dreams at hand,
Pay attention to your heart...
Just like footprints in the sand,
You just tell them where to start...
Take you time don't rush or hurry,
Take it slow cause its not a race...
Have trust have faith but never worry,
There is nothing that you must chase...
There will be those who will hold you back,
And there will be times when your spirit falls...
Don't listen for all they know is lack,
Just be there when your moment calls...

The sky full of ash
The roar the anger from the dust cloud
Fire and ash and lava pour into the blackend sky
Beneth the town of. Pompie
The poeple rush to evacuate to save what precious gifts they can take away
Most have left some stay not wanting to go away
In danger they are from the poisouos dust cloud
The smoking ash cloud belows hot ash smoking ash
Poison fumes linga about
heat that kills
The city will be consumed
The falling ash burnig poisous radiates intences heat
Consuming the poeple who delay the are killed buried for all time
Locked in there death rows of time cunsumed by the ash they died so fast
Coverd up left to rot
There bodies dead the city all its streets and house cover over in the volcanos cloud for pompies death has begun buried under the weight of ash lost in time cunsumed by the volcanos lave ash

If only it could begin with a fight
then we'd have nowhere to go but up
Instead of beginning at the top
and then removing points for imperfections
as they are uncovered one by one,
we would find our way out of a conundrum together
and have the tale of our survival, and good graces,
to tell forevermore.

Ideas aside, was I supposed to capitalize all the words of the title or not? Wish I knew!

Girls are strong
and girls are weak
Some are violent
While others are not
They all have feelings
Some just don't show them
They all need to feel loved
and they all deserve respect
They all care
Just in different ways
If you love a girl
Never let her go.
