Don’t settle for hollow happiness
Don’t muddle through this existence to muddle through another

What you do have why do you treasure it more than the love you give away?
What you don’t have why do you need it now?

I want to look into your eyes and see endless joy that burns a memory so deep it cripples my fears

I want you to look deeper than simply sliding down the surface
Seek first to hear instead of criticize
Treat each situation without history colored glasses
Live with a freedom that surpasses all understanding

Insinuation is not a jail your mind locks you in to keep you from feeling
Perception is not always your reality
Assumption does not always smother faith
Intimidation is not a torture tactic to scare you into submission
It’s a method to show you how deep this soul runs

Grace is a hard pill to swallow for most
How can mercy be shown for such an insincere heart who only repeats what has just been forgiven?
Some people look for a reason to get out, to just let go and break away
But it’s not a matter or question of where or how, it’s a matter of when a point of weakness causes unanswered questions to linger

With you hanging on every word I start to question the angle and motivation of your intentions
All of this consternation can drive one to see or feel what truly isn’t there

But I’m here and will always be a rock

Always and forever

Always and now

Thanks all!

Here's another and I hope you enjoy it so much you'll take a look at my book (sites listed at the bottom of the first post and I forgot to include the title of the first, it's called Blind Ambition):

MOMENTS EVERLASTING

Remembering moments of missed opportunities decays the delicate fabric of the soul
A wasted moment spent on a watershed tear is a moment you can’t get back
Moments you once wished would go away
Are the same moments you wish you could experience again

This mosaic flirtation of what could have been
Tosses me into a tired frenzy of reckless withdrawal
A painful reminder of loves lost who are still here
A needling push to take hold of a love that’s just out of my reach

The love I have for you has no concept of time
No rhyme, no reason
No beginning, no end
No limit, no pre-conceived notion
It has no meaning without you

The mural of our journey grows from a boundless imagination
Stroked by the hands of love
Fired by the art of an all-encompassing passion
Molded by a heart through which days of strain have sifted

And some days you still wonder where you stand

I know it’s hard to hold on to the little amount of love which is left
To sit idly by
Hoping there’s still enough to rekindle the spark
Enough to start a soaring bewildering blaze
Enough to create the new moments which will sustain us through what’s next

What is here

What is now

What is forever
