Shine

The night’s gift of freedom
A strange and eerie place
Singing praises of days gone by
Quietly sealing your fate.

Immortal in life’s belief
Steadfast in the night’s thoughts
Faithfully hiding the truth
Impuned to all that is taught.

Hope is the sacrificial lamb
Running down its altar are
Pure and innocent thoughts
So precious, like a new born.

The moon gives the eyes
A better, crisper scene
Stripped naked of all there is
Uninhibited to simply be.

Darkest side of the moon
Lurking in the shadows
Carrying life through
Straight onto the other side.

Papi

A love that will never die
Forever faithful and true
Forged in tears and fire
A heart will always wait for you
Connected souls
Bonded in understanding
Holding up mirrors
Of images only few can see
Desperate hearts
Craving homes
Fortress wall
But never alone
Gone separate ways
But forever linked
A life wanted and hoped for
Will never come to pass
Doors are closed
Locks are turned
Seeming happiness
But elusive words
Fate will tell
What is to be
A reason, a season or a lifetime
These things of you and me
A love that will never die
Forever faithful and true
Forged in tears and fire
A heart will always wait for you

Introspect

Round and round we go
On the carousel of life
Reaching out for tomorrow
As today passes us by
Watching the days turn into night

Yearning for a home
To make our fragile lives right
Stuck in waves of emotions
While begging for dry land
Growing fat on fantasy

Building castles in the sand
Impune to our reveries
Praying for salvation
Waiting for forgiveness
While searching for the promise land

Staring out into oblivion
Watching life with blinders on
Listening to faithless men
Stealing your worth
Making it less than the change in your hands

And when it’s all said and done
Can you say you’ve done it all?
Will you truly know who You are
And love all that was and wasn’t to be?
Did you find your goddess within,
And set her free?
Did you find the god within
And embrace the man?

Set yourself free
You innocent soul
Let love lead the way
Let joy guide your path
Towards a brilliant life
Full of infinite possibilities.
