On the Run

On the Run

There was a young boy
who was on the run

for he had done sumthin'
really bad
with his daddy's gun

he took flight
into the sun..
for the deed he did
with his daddy's gun.

Now this boy knew
if he got caught
his life was over
no more fun
the life he'd see
would be blocked by bars
for the deed he did
with his daddy's gun.

now this young man
stopped for the night
tryin' to get some shut-eye
the memories of this deed he did
haunted his conscience

he dozed off for a minute or two
when up walked a man in blue
he said son, what is it that ya do?

This boy woke up
heart jumped
he knew..

so he turned his car on real fast
and he ran from this man in blue
just for fun..
he couldn't get caught
because of the horrible deed
he'd done
with his daddy's gun.

Identity forgotten
not longer significant
this boy turned quickly
into a man

There was a man
who was on the run

for he had done sumthin'
really bad
with his daddy's gun

disappeared with out a trail
for living out his life
he would not fail.
he will never be caught
for this deed he did
with his daddy's gun.

Loneliness Murdered my Consideration

Loneliness Murdered my Consideration

Consideration is the culprit
a demon in itself
starts off nice and pretty
then forces you to live
in your self made hell.

Always someones scape goat
never asking questions
always the one opening eyes
but never mentioned.
She always let's it go.

Loneliness is a murderer
no other choice
everyone keeps hurting her.

Loneliness murders consideration
and i am ready to start this calculation.
Ready for the blood fest of these emotions.
Over being the fool behind this manipulation..
all i can do is MAKE people loathe me.
for my own protection.

So where-ever you are, whatever you feel
where-ever your going, whatever you think is real.
is tired on my mind,
I am not considering another thing you do, any other time.
To me now, consideration is a crime, and loneliness is bright.
So the path ill continue, what seems to be right.
I'll walk this shallow road, into the unforgiving darkness of night.

When the Timing is Right

When the Timing is Right

She has a peculiar demeanor
following her dreams
rolling through life's needed tasks
knowing there is more to be.

She keeps up with the stitches
holding it together
its always raining somewhere
she keeps her umbrella.

She is used to the daily hindrance
the daily grime
she will find her self
free, just give her some time.

She is always facing troubles
one thing, turns into a million
its all in her head
these thoughts will never
get her where she needs to be instead.

Step foot onto this world
with a lovely expedition in mind
searching for her chance
her window
to gain the only thing that matters
life experience, age old with no regrets
through-out her life's time.

She has a eagar demeanor
ready for this life
it will just take her some time
to spread her wings
and take flight.
She will soar all day, and
watch over the world at night.
When the timing is right.

Unknowingly kind, this friend of mine

Unknowingly kind, this friend of mine
2/7/10

Her eyes said it all,
a misty feature, at the
quick glance
of a memory recalled

turned this angst
into ambition
has to live her life
fulfilling a unfulfilled mission

throwing herself into her mind
creativity in full force
there is no other way

closes her eyes
sings a lullaby
enough to help you realize
some things
enough emotion to
make you cry
seeing her passion
fill this night
will keep my inspiriation
going down the path
that seems to be right.

She never stops trying
holding herself low
keeping her mind open
to all that she knows.

holding her love
speaking her words
singing her song
your life relates to the verse
could change this life
from what may seem to be a curse
into a beautiful, unpredictable universe.

she changes her mind
but never her spirit
her passion is in her music
listen deeper
you will hear it.

Her eyes said it all,
a misty feature, at the
quick glance
of a memory recalled
Her song will remind you of a time
when everything was fine
she will sing for you one time
while her passion radiates from her
she shared,
now some of the passion
is mine to find.
unknowingly kind
this friend of mine.

Could Be Worse

Could Be Worse
2-1-10

Here i sit,
independent no one to count on,
no one to hold onto.

Here i sit
living out the things i never wanted to be
But here i sit free nation,
with freedom of speech.

Roof over my head,
shoe's on my feet,
food to eat,
friends and family
who will always love me.

I could complain about the little things..
But i have more than some could dream..
Keep my head above the water,
to avoid the drowning,
run out of air.

Keep my eye's open to the things i am given.
Keep my ears listening for the love and attention,
I have lived my entire life over looking,
and missing.

My life could be worse,
in this unforgiving universe.
Remembering this could save my mind,
staying positive will save me in my life.

My Love Grows

My Love Grows
2-1-10

The world spins in a strange rotation
the life i live is suffocating.
The greenery will grow,
no hesitation
growing up is broken
in this generation.
The wind will blow in every season,
my love will grow with out explanation or reason.
Love will find me least expecting,
finding my love who won't forget me.
This life i live is temporary.
When I'm gone the world will continue spinning.
The grass will grow over my grave stone,
but mark my words,
my name will not go unknown,
As i said,the world spins in a strange rotation
this i life i live is suffocating
with the love i share
comes a relieving breath of fresh air
with the love i am given
comes a path
undiscovered
and not forbidden
not over done
the love i give to someone else will be passed,
for many years to come.

How I Want To Be

How I Want To Be
1/20/10
My body stands alone, my legs locked,
my arms wrapped around me as a means of comfort,
my eyes, burning, misting,looking wildly around,
my heart pounding
my mouth ready to talk
but unable to form words, sentences, or any sound.
My skin feels flushed,
red coming through my cheeks,
my hands are shaking and so are my legs...
I scope you out with my wild eyes,
up and down, side to side,
I see what i want to see,
you make me feel how i want to be.

Memory

Memory
1/14/10

A Re-occurring memory
out side of the walls i have built in my mind
fighting desperately to forget such hard times
Left with a pen and some paper
to spill my thoughts with some what of a rhyme.
Although a memory can be painful,
in a way it can be kind.
If only you could travel across generations of time.
Always searching for an answer,
you seem to search forever,
in hopes that you will find what you're looking for.
I hope one day this hard memory
will find me my new door to be opened,
i hope one day this hard memory,
will make me a better woman
with out words being spoken or written.

My Dear Friend

My Dear Friend.
1/14/10

Please dear friend rely upon my energy
see past the person you used to be
wasting all that time being angry
losing the days that pass us by
can't seem to get it right.
Open up your eyes
regain your sight dear friend,
although this world is ugly,
you my dear friend are beautiful.
Don't give up on your dreams now,
I'll help you fight.
Let me catch you when you feel defeated.
One day, unknown when,
I'll need you there my dear friend,
your hand I'll ask a lend,
your face will warm my heart,
as i hope mine does for you,
knowing someone is there,
in this dangerous world,
knowing we're not alone,
you being there for me will never leave me,
So when i ask you to rely upon our kindred energy
allow your self to believe,
i will be strong for you dear friend,
and you be strong for me.

For Me

For Me
1/2/10

Invest all my energy all my time,
sifting through the autumn covered memories in my lost and frozen mind.
Working day to day, depending biweekly on my pay,
searching desperately for another way to live this life.
Following my dreams,
shouldn't be a task,
going west of anywhere is an experience no questions asked.
Always a story about the phrase " One day I'll..."
then the realization of responsibilities stack tall
that ambition " One day I'll..."
turns into " i always wanted to.."
and then it never happens at all.
So here i am holding all my dreams,
investing all my time,
wasting my talents for a unsatisfactory day to day rhyme.
Escaping is my goal,
my need of all needs,
existing among fellow human beings
just ordinarily living their lives,
some stuck in past times.
Not me,
I'll save myself escape from the black hole i have dug to hell.
Reach for the top,
dig your way up,
I'll find my way,
I'll get where i need to be,
in this, i need to invest MY time,
MY love, dreams, destiny,
for no one, but for me.

My Amber eyes

My Amber eyes
12-31-09

Find me a fresh breath,
before the ultimatum of death,
blue cheeks and amber eyes
find me cold,
I'll wear it as a disguise.
Open the blinds let the sun rise,
in this dark time,
let the sun set in these amber eyes,
and warm my frozen suffocated disguise with a temporary lie.
Left cold with out a chance to say good bye,
just turn away from my wet amber eyes.
-C. MacGinnis
