Light
I have seen lights
That out shine the sun
But skyscrapers and projects stop ‘em from shining
Blocks equal corners
Corners equal mourners
Who take a trip to the corners
To pay the toll
Required to say goodbye
Suits and dresses
Cover the dead
Makeup covers up pale complexions
From lifeless flesh
I passed by a friend
From the past to get the word
On his life
He said “I found my father
With his head cut off
Since then I’ve been off”
I have seen lights
That out shine the sun
But skyscrapers and projects
Stop ‘em from shining.

Live, Love, Learn
An overwhelming sense of joy
Calms me in the isolation of my mind
Overflowing with thoughts of bad and good times
Solitary confinement from those that say they love me the most
Visits from the past and present ghosts
The host, he or she
Presents its self in a divine way
Molding new and old me’s out of clay
I play in the sea of forbidden tales
Adding my own each time I prevail
In a task that was once failed by me in a past life
Addicted to the language of the angels
Always looking in the eyes of the beholder
I beg of you
Live, Love, Learn
It's the only way.

Lost Minds
If I lost my mind today
Would anyone care?
Even though to me I am still here?
Will they notice that part of me is gone?
Or walk by looking on?
Go ahead and prolong the inevitable
Shoveling more and more dirt
To cover your trail
But nothing can hide the smell
Reeking from your soul
I suppose nothing could change your mind
Good then that will make two that’s lost their mind.

Lovers
I will love you until the sun no longer sets
Without a doubt
Or regret
Intimately and mentally
A spiritual epiphany came when I met you
It’s highly unusual to find such an alikeness in opposites
But it is through this
I see one can not be
Without the other
Lovers.

Message
You called the other day to give me some support
I guess you liked what you heard
Those simple words of sincerity made my day
I just wanted to say thank you.

Mother
If not for you, how will I be?
If not for you, how will I survive?
If not for you all will die
There's comfort in knowing that all resolves inside you
Sure with a bit of man
And surly a chance God had a hand in it
But comfort never the less
Knowing you possess the ability to give life
Oh what a sight when the circle of life
Gives way to a new spirit
Can't you hear it
The Angels pray with such enchanting voices
And the soldiers of Christ rejoice
It's truly, truly a wonderful sight
When man and woman unite
To continue their bloodline
Despite their attempts to expose God's flows in design
Only to feel every time
For this is how life itself continues
No one without the other
All around a mother
If not for you, how will I survive?
If not for you all will die.

Music
When I'm all stressed out
And everyone bails out
You are all I need
When all else fails
And Satan opens the gates of Hell
You are all I need
When the flesh becomes confusing
And I feel like I'm losing
You are all I need
If my voice was to fail
And all I know as well
You are all I need
Music.

My Flesh
I am at a constant battle with my flesh
To maintain control I must confess
That there are things not good fro me
I indulge in roles played
To feed the fetish my flesh craves
I am aware of the consequences these choices could bring
And I know my body is suppose to slave to my brain
But at times I lack the power to maintain
So I pray
Asking God to help me
I am at a constant battle with my flesh
To maintain control I must confess.

No Words
The other night I went to write you
But nothing came out
Maybe the words are still in my mouth
But if only that were true
The other day I went to write you
But stopped
Even before I started
That must sound retarded
Or even impossible
Some would say
But it happened
This could only mean one thing
You already know
But how can something mean only one thing
When it effects so many people
So maybe that's why no words came out.

Old
When my flesh withers up
And I am no longer this young man
Will I understand all that I have seen?
Will I make an effort to help the young?
Or watch them get hung?
Whatever may come
It will be for the best of everyone's well being
And the Almighty who is all seeing
Shall back me.
