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 https://www.createspace.com/3357865 http://www.amazon.com/Forever-Enough-William-Dennis-Brantly/dp/1440448027/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1226539797&sr=1-1 |

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 |
