Shimmer
Posted on | January 8, 2006 | No Comments
I look out the window
I see the rain splash on the pane
My eyes roll down with the drops
Down deep Into my soul
I feel this cold
Maybe this frost will stop it all
Just freeze those moments in my mind
Let me break them free
Free from the pain, just set them free
Floating away, just as I break them free
I let it all go
Let it all just slide away
Melt in my minds heart
This cold is met with a warmth
A life yearning to be touched
Silken hair, golden sun drenched strands
Flow down deep into my soul
Water blue eyes shimmer
Ripple waves of hope with rhythmic dreams
I feel this moment, this memory
Sails away with my heart
Leads to shores of peace

Happy New Year Resolutions…??
Posted on | January 3, 2006 | No Comments
As we begin 2006, everyone does Resolutions. I am not a big resolution guy, never have been, but I am increasingly deciding or figuring out that having goals and a plan for the future is key to achieving those things that we want… also, often I believe we need to make resolutions on a monthly, daily and sometimes hourly basis to continue personal growth – I know if I would have done more of this in the past few years, my current and or future life might be different today.
I have had a lot of things to be thankful for this year and in the past, and many more things, far many more things, that I wish I had been more resolute in my actions and taken different courses. As we get older, hopefully the adage of getting wiser is true and as such the past mistakes should still add value in creating a new more positive future.
There is more to life than the affect you have on your own life through your own actions, you affect far more people around you and in many ways, not the way you intend if your not careful.
so…. without further dieu…
My 2006 Resolution / Goals
Finding Peace
Internally with myself – to find inner peace and acceptance that the past is a part of me and the future can be what I want it to be with work and effort.
Externally, to accept others for who they are, and to look harder at the real person inside – to not just accept them for who I think they are or the perception of who they are to me but… to seek out the truth and to be honest and real for both our sakes)
Forgiveness
Without being redundant, but internally
This Year’s Love
Posted on | December 28, 2005 | No Comments
This year’s love had better last
Heaven knows it’s high time
I’ve been waiting on my own too long
When ya hold me like you do
It feels so right, oh now
I start to forget
How my heart gets torn
When that hurt gets flowin
Feeling like ya can’t go on
Turning circles and time again
It cut like a knife oh now
If ya love me, got to know for sure
Cause it takes something more this time
Than sweet, sweet lies oh now
Before I open up my arms and fall
Losing all control
Every dream inside my soul
When ya kiss me
On that midnight street
Sweep me off my feet
Singing ain’t this life so sweet
This year’s love had better last
This year’s love had better last
Cause who’s to worry
If our hearts get torn
When that hurt gets flowin
Don’t ya know this life goes on
Won’t ya kiss me
On that midnight street
Sweep me off my feet
Singing ain’t this life so sweet
This year’s love had better last

And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky
I can’t take my eyes off of you
I can’t take my eyes off you
I can’t take my eyes off of you
I can’t take my eyes off you
I can’t take my eyes off you
I can’t take my eyes…
And so it is
Just like you said it should be
We’ll both forget the breeze
Most of the time
And so it is
The colder water
The blower’s daughter
The pupil in denial
I can’t take my eyes off of you
I can’t take my eyes off you
I can’t take my eyes off of you
I can’t take my eyes off you
I can’t take my eyes off you
I can’t take my eyes…
Did I say that I loathe you?
Did I say that I want to
Leave it all behind?
I can’t take my mind off of you
I can’t take my mind off you
I can’t take my mind off of you
I can’t take my mind off you
I can’t take my mind off you
I can’t take my mind…
My mind…my mind…

Beauty Queen

Beauty queen of only eighteen
She had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her
She always belonged to someone else
I drove for miles and miles
And wound up at your door
I
