Soulless Man

I gave it all my heart.
And then I gave my soul.
Can’t ask God for help
Can’t do what I am told.
Repair a broken heart?
There’s nothing here but space.
There’ no place to start.
The memories erased. 
I’ll venture out and find
another empty soul.
They’re never hard to find.
They’re  everywhere you go.
Well tip a few together 
and light a couple smokes.
Then sit around and mock.
Caring’s such a joke.
No broken hearts to mend. 
No foolish dreams to chase.
Just sit around, enjoy
this present time and place.
Sometimes we reminisce 
on what it’s like to feel.
And laugh at all the cads
who think they’re made of steel.
But secretly inside 
desires aren’t all a waste.
I gave my soul away
but kept a little faith. 

Lost

Guess that’s what happens

I’ve been here before. 
Save everyone else.
And leave love on the shore.
Can’t keep myself
yet give him away.
Make everyone happy.
while my happiness stays. 
Everything’s good but my heart. 
The only one lost is me.

A Voice

Music may stir the emotions
A wave carry over the oceans
Emotions will strum the strings of a heart
Accompanied by a sweet voice. 

Some may fall for a look
Others judge traits by the book
Hearts have a say through the air if you’ll hear. 
Love is found in a voice



Hope

Trees shake off the bitter cold
Sprouting leaves shy and bold
Releasing new, forsaking old
Refreshing our senses. 

Rain filters through victims past
Feeding life, and sprouting grass
We know the tragedy has passed
Through broken defenses

If this old earth had its way
All hope would turn dark and grey
It’s very roots would see decay
But life is relentless

Life makes a dream of tragedy
This dream a woven a part of me
Aromas, sounds, the things I see 
While summer commences 

Soft Steel

Thoughts beget words to me.
I freely type across the keys.
My heart will burst and run away.
If I hold back, don’t have a say.
I have this guy who lives inside.
Prone to dream who knows no pride
In some ways weak, others strong
Some claim to know, most are wrong.
This tender heart of steel must sing.
Despite what circumstances bring. 

Looking for Home

We try hard to fit in their plans
But no one around understands
Longing inside to be somewhere else…

Does anyone know who we are?
Who wants to hear our hearts?
Is God up above the only one who cares?..,

Lying in bed full of thoughts 
We’re traveling 
Traveling 
Future and past do a waltz
We’re traveling
Traveling.
Looking for home

Running through fields as a child
Barefoot and free with a smile. 
We only had dreams to make it all last.. 

Grown up desires fulfilled
Nothing can settle us still
Maybe the first dreams are all we need…

Lying in bed full of thoughts 
We’re traveling 
Traveling 
Future and past do a waltz
We’re traveling
Traveling.
Looking for home

Some days we see that free smile
Hope it can stay for a while 
But until then we keep looking for home…

Expressions

To see your mood change from sorrow to joy
Is where all my thoughts and dreams are employed 
Your smile is like a sweet breeze in the morning 
Flashes of rage, like the sky when  it’s storming

Its great to show passion by letter or voice
Revealed expressions are a far better choice.
eyes wide with excitement 
add dimples, a smirk
They roll when its corny
Give spite to the jerk

Expressions show beauty, love
and romance
My soul fills with joy through your countenance.
