A BETTER MAN

Such are the hearts of men, that they are cold and caged,
When all you wanted was to make a better man.
Such are the tongues of men, that they are repulsive and insulting,
When all you wanted was to make a better man.
Such are thoughts of men, that they are rigid and unaccepting,
When all you wanted was to make a better man.
Such are the ears of men, proud and self important,
When all you wanted was to make a better man. 

HEALING

Times come in life when the soul must heal

A time for refreshing from all it has to feel

There are times when we must escape

Moving away from a blurred landscape

Walking away from  the hatred and anger that bring strife

Because when all is said and done

When all is imagined and crafted into  plan

When we indulge our hearts

And play our parts

However careful, however reckless

However inclined, however driven

Whatever we do whatever we say

Whether we go or hang on and stay

There’s a part of us that bears the brunt

That chooses to fight

That chooses to live

That chooses to stay put when tears fall

That part that holds up when fears fall

The core that burns with fire

When life threatens your all

There’s the part that fuels your dreams the part that brightens your day

And shows us the way

So however careful, however reckless

Guard your soul for it is your treasure

Your solace and your refuge in a world of pressure

Keep it and tackle it not for silver or gold

Guard it and keep it burning bold

Because when all is said and done

All you have is your soul

LIFT ME

Lift me to a place where this sadness has nowhere to stay
To a place far away...
Where sorrow and her troops will be held at bay...
Take me where the sun shall paint my skies and brighten my days...
Because here, this place?
Has left me in a daze,..
Spun me around and left me stuck in a maze...
It's landed a hard slap upon my face...
It can't be another phase...
The years will soon fly,
My dreams shall soon die
And all I can ever do is wonder why.
Now, I have not the energy to cry,
So I'll just turn the pages and wish this red hot pain away,.
Or write poems and forget this dream ever came my way.
