An echo that makes no sound Music playing that no one hears Eyes that shed invisible tears Confusing sounds of sounds of silence Love’s never heard Love’s never reciprocated Love’s never acknowledged But Take hold Place it a pocket Display it a locket for out of no where Some day IT may unfold
I don’t understand Tell me why? I touch your hand I touch your face I touch your lips I touch your hair I get no where Tell me why? You don’t touch me with your heart Listen to your heart Why can’t I touch your heart?
Up and down/ down and up You remind me of your 5 degrees Hoping to bring me to my knees You rant and rave your monolog And scream like a hungered farmer’s hog
Up and down/down and up You continue your one-way debate With venom and hate You scream and you yell No facts to tell
Up and down/down and up You shriek and shout as Vomit flows from your mouth Poison spays your every word So, no one else can be heard
Up and down/down and up No peace with anger No one right all the time All emotions No reason Looking at a mime
Up and down/down and up Words you’ve sown Sticks and stones… Vanity,pride,flaw Makes it time to get off the seesaw ************************************ Epistle of James 3 “But no one can tame the tongue it is a restless evil and full of deadly poison”(8)
“If you have bitter jealous and selfish ambition in your heart,do not be arrogant and so, lie against the truth”(14)
“For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist there is disorder and every evil thing”(16)
“The seed whose fruit is righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace”(18)
I dry my eyes from idle tears While the daffodils bend under the crimson sky And the winds whistle through a darken sky While the moon gazes and winks as it passes by The sparrow covers its newly hatched eggs As the high cirrus clouds cry out, “You can’t Denie” Life is brief Love is long Follow the signs To where you belong ********************************** “Love is happiness Love is life” Thomas Henry Burrows
There once was a man who was dying To be one with the universe he was relying His body to decay Was the only way To unite with the elements, he was trying
There was a man who was dying To be in heaven he was relying His salvation assured He thanked the Lord An ascended without even trying
Which home are you going to choose? At home with the universe Or At home with the Lord ****************************************** “If you are living according to the flesh You must die, But if (you live) by the spirit you are putting to death The deeds of the body You will live.” Romans 8:13
I picture your face I reflect on your eyes The sound of your laughter I heard your sighs
I remember two straws in a coke Our hands across the booth I remember the jute box Playing our favorite song
But times they do change And so did you It was not our job to control destiny It was not our job to control fate It was not our job to create luck You drifted away And it was too late
I was so wrong To string you along You were always there willing to share
I took advantage of your love I thought we were a pair You would wait and still be here
My timing was off I opened the door and you were gone No whisper No sound
Never to return A lesson learned Waiting for tomorrow May only bring you sorrow
You made your choice I had no voice You were in control Of my very soul The decision was on you
Never given a chance to birth Never knowing what life was worth You took it away Never a look never a glance You took that chance And walked away
Tell me about my childhood: Did I ride a bike? Did I watch cartoons? Did I go to school? Did I like baseball? Did you attend to my care when I would fall?
Tell me about my teens: Did I have a girlfriend? Did I do well in school? Did I have plans for the future? Did I have many friends? Did I have a car?
Tell me about my adulthood: Did I graduate college? Did I have a successful job? Did I meet the girl of my dreams And get married? Did you have any grandchildren Of mine?
It’s ok mommy You did what you thought Was right at the time I forgive you May be again it may be That you will hug me And you will set yourself free ******************************* “A baby is God’s opinion that life should go on” Carl Sandburg
“By You I have been sustained from my birth: You are He who took me from my mother’s womb: My praise is continually of You” Psalm 71:6
Forget to call I can’t stay awake Till the morning break I’m not to blame If I forget your name I stop and stare Going no where I forget to trump I cry for no reason Any time in season It’s not my creation If I exhibit frustration Walk very slow With nowhere to go Excuse my anger I can’t control No longer active Always distracted I have no more trials or temptations The din of the world has lifted No need for memories Locked deep in my soul Born to die Born to rise To meet my salvation in the sky ************************************* “My flesh and my heart may fail, But He is the strength of my heart and My portion forever” PS 73-26
