Not All There Is -June 21st 2013

How can you say that's all there is,
If you've never looked past your window,
Never seen the view of London by night,
Brazil at sunrise, a Pacific tide wash in,
Leaving a million glistening gems of sand behind
How can you say that's all there is?

How can you say that's all there is,
If you've never kissed a girl in Paris in the rain,
Never held on to your love through the streets of Italy
Had a chance to hold a life in your hands,
You there only chance to make it through,
How can you say that's all there is?

How can you say that's all there is,
If you've never truelly loved,
Never smiled when all you saw was darkness,
Because you closed your eyes and saw their face
How can you say that this is all there is?

Try me, dare me, tell me,
That is is all there is,
For I, I will always prove you wrong

Loosing Grips - January 21st, 2013

I'm holding out for what's been lost
Loosing time, suffering the cost
I shake the hand of today,
Having to loosen the grip of my yesterday

Saying goodbye to the unexplained gaps in time
A childhood lost due to an I identified crime
I try to move on everyday, but I can't
Giving up on seven years, the constant internal rant

Words, memories, thoughts, constantly fill my mind
Patterns left hidden over great expanses of time
Things that go undefined.
The only truths lying in traps of great deception

I can't let go, not now, not yet
I need an explanation, not a bounty to forget
I can't forgive without comprehension
I need someone's help, and willing to pay the pension

Your words -June 6th, 2012

Words fill my mind
Silence fills the night
Darkness fills the shadows
And your support fills my life

You guided me into a new frame of mind
Helped me find something I thought I just couldn't find

Your arms wrap around me
Fills me with a security I had lost
Gave me a purpose, gave me a cause

I don't know what I would have done
I don't know what I would have found
I don't know who I would have become, if you hadn't been around

Now you've taught me so much,
And it's time for you to go.
I'll always look back on your words,
Your thoughts will forever light my soul

With love,
      Your protege

Simple Silence -June 5th, 2012

Simple words can create a sentence
A simple thought can create a change
A simple speech can create a revolution
A simple mistake can create a catastrophe

Our words, our thoughts, our actions,
Have more power then we'd like to believe
Hold power beyond the threshold in which they are said
They linger somewhere, were we can't find them again.

Use this power for the better
Create the change you wish to see,
Start a chain reaction with your words
Give a thought to feed listening ears.
And always be who you aim to be.

Charter Sunrise - June 4th, 2012

We say goodbye to the past,
As it awakens to the future

We look behind us for information
For the inspiration that was born there

Only found in the people now gone,
Who have moved on,
No matter how hard it was to see them go

We say goodbye,
They leave with words of the wise
There wisdom lingers in the hearts,
In those of us forming the new generation

A lapse in time forming the present,
A transition between two.
No telling  whether this sacred, solemn change
Is for best or worst.

We hold our breath as we say goodbye,

Listen to the final words whispered from the people,
The people that will guide us in our time

They push us forward, say "it's your time now"
We take the leap forward,
As we leave the last goodbye behind
Though it is forever in our hearts

For, the past creates our future,
It's our turn to make it happen.

Empty~June 29th, 2012

I found this in the back of one if my old journals. No one will read this anyway so I thought I might as well throw it out there.


      I feel empty. I just do. I can't just let it be anymore. I don't even know where to go from here. I'm tired of being tired because of this shit. When you don't even have a present reason, just a past to hold your judgements, your emotions against. It may not be the worst,or even close. Not he'll, not heaven, and yet not n between. Somewhere, but not in the middle. Somewhere far from happy, yet fr from permanent disparity. I know I'm blank,empty. Though, by some power I know it's not here to stay,not forever, it doesn't  have to be my endless fate just a current reality. I know I can do something.To see past the past, you have to run through the fire, step on the coals, and feel the scotch, even though you know you've never deserved any of it. But, for now I just don't, and that'll have to be ok for now.
