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.

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.
