In a photo, on the roadway,
On a bus or car or plane.
Do you see ME? Am I what you think?
Clearly envisioned, even when you blink?
The ME that you see, may not really be
The true representation of who you’d hoped
So don’t be afraid to look deeper.
The search for the ‘truth’ is never just a quick grope
In the dark; it’s hidden behind a few layers.
Let your search be certain, let your eyes look deep.
Not just admire the surface, but also see what’s beneath.
The ME that you see isn’t all that there is…

Whole life I was repeating an error, the dust was on my face and I was rubbing the mirror.

I got another Netflix in the mail yesterday
It was Simpson's Christmas 2
In it Homer becomes a prank monkey for Mr. Burns
In another episode, the kids get stuck at school because of snow
And the last one I watched was about Homer being the Grinch
When I was a kid there was no way to watch shows other than TV
You had a TV Guide that told you when shows would come on
I always looked out for Rudolph and watched it every year
Now they have done away with DVDs and VHS rental stores
I miss going there and picking out a movie, it was fun
I have to admit it is far easier, not to mention cheaper just using your phone
Not to mention music
I used to save a long time to get music on records
Now all I have to do is type the song into my phone
Sting used to make one million a year off of just one song
Every Breathe You Take
I wonder how much a hit song makes for an artist today
Not much I bet

THE PAIN & HURT SOMETIMES SURFACE TO YOUR EYES.
THE FACT THAT YOU SUFFER ALONE, IT SHAKES ME TO CORE.
IT HURTS ME TO SEE YOUR PAIN.
THE WAY YOU BOTTLE IT UP, IM SCARED YOU WILL FALL ILL.
WHY ARE YOU THE KEEPER OF SECRETS & PAIN?
YOUR REPLY OF IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL, ITS NOTHING WITH A STORY LOOMING IN YOUR EYES.
AS MY MISTED EYES & WOUNDED HEART SEARCH FOR A WAY TO SEE A SMILE GRACE YOUR FACE.
YOU TAKE YOUR HANDS & PUSH ME AWAY.
I FEEL DEFEATED & CHEATED AS YOU CHOOSE PAIN INSTEAD OF LOVE.

City, city, bring me bright lights
city, city, bring me filled delights
oh wonders of the country may be fair
and to the fields I do repair
but city, city, bring me your nights

City, city, of a thousand roads
city, city, of a thousand modes
to you I must return
for desolation I must spurn
city, city, of a thousand abodes

Wrapped from the cold
echoes in the streetscape
I stride beside you
for its assurance I need
despite the fortitude
these doorways all locked
and old bones
can't take much
anymore
but you smile
indifferent to my plight
and for that I salute you
Where did our days go?
majesty of youth
no fear in the cycle
of universal grinding
all you said was
breathe as I do
feel the hustle
for then the dark delivers
love in the margins

I take back from the mind of the insane I walk away ashamed I come to test the validity of the rest of life is this such a hike to the unknown I creep an moan to fall on sacred knives to let them see it was not part of my insanity it was just a killer twice come let’s go I take everything into the unknown I walk freely through open deserts I come clearly unto you unto you. I seek to find a place we’re there is no crime no blasphemy no evil that is to see I glance ahead in time today I’ve found my rhyme I’ve committed a crime for them to see let it be the end of my insanity. Will it come upon me open flesh wounds open problems to astonish no it was your promise that I’ll never die I fall back without a doubt I shout mortal tears are upon me I search through all this insanity mamed no caged a mind that wants to be free I am insanity I open all doors to each realm I sit still I wear my crown I don’t step back because I am not here. I am not here. I will go on through this misconception that I rule I don’t. It’s nature that is gods wish not that humans suffice. That humans acknowledge that they are responsible for the pit fall in evolution.

Sometimes there's a shining star, it's never really too far.Pausing to watch that glow,suddenly it begins to grow.I see a woman of medium size, with curly hair and cute brown eyes.She speaks softly to say hello.That voice I already know.The mind has a special way, when someone brightens your day.They both look up above, is this really true love?Sometimes there's a shining star, it doesn't matter where you are.We always do the best that we can, a beautiful woman and her loving man.Sometimes there's a shining star, I said, sometimes there's a shining star,and love isn't very far. And love isn't very far.

A guy is walking through the country when he spots a sign that reads, “Talking Horse for Sale.” Intrigued, he walks up to the stable to check it out.

“So what have you done with your life?” he asks the horse.

“I’ve led a full life,” the horse answers miraculously. “I was born in The Andes where I herded for an entire village. Years later, I joined the mounted police force in New York and helped keep the city clean. And now, I spend my days giving free rides to underprivileged kids here in the country.”

The guy is flabbergasted. He asks the horse’s owner, “Why on earth would you want to get rid of such an incredible animal?”

The owner says, “Because he’s a liar! He never did any of that!”



A horse walks into a bar. The bartender says, “Hey.”

The horse says, “Buddy—you read my mind!”



How do you make an appaloosa? Shake the tree

Life & love
I do remember my first love
At sweet sixteen to seventeen,
I didn’t doubt my young lover
Until I realised it was all over,
Betrayed I felt to the bone
Moved on I did on my own,
My second was great and lasted for years
It grew in strength with laughter and tears,
Only ending in pain for us both to feel
I do know for sure this love was real,
Moving on to the deepest love of all
I did not realise how hard I could fall,
You left me in turmoil and despair
A broken man in need of repair,
We met again after many years
And enjoyed the closeness we once shared
The love was still there I felt it for sure
As if time had stood still if only it could,
You left the next day as you said you should.
I think of you often,I do wish you well
Too many years I’ve stayed in my shell,
Try to move on I tell myself,
Don’t be left upon the shelf,
Find someone new to take away the pain
I have taken relief now and again,
Once was almost real until the bubble did burst
Embarrassing episodes slowly got worse.
I can’t believe it’s 20 years
since I heard those 3 words everyone hears
Don’t take them for granted and use them well
For in your heart you can always tell,
Who makes it skip a beat?
And company is always a treat,
Who appreciates you for who you are?
And truly believes you are a star.
Believe in love! I still do,
I remember it well and it was true.
