Crazy, stupid, love

What is love if not a gesture and feeling
A rush and a push that can leave you simply reeling
What of those other emotions that are sneaks in disguise
Those that make you believe in smoke, deceit and lies
Most of those are only fancies that glow for just a while
But love is a state that will always make you smile
Through tears and pain, heartache and rain
That one true emotion is a slowly burning ember
That keeps the soul warm even in a cold December

Drought

When the honey stops to flow
And the water does not run
There is not much we can do
But suspend our source of fun
Knowing what we do
It is hard to change our ways
But if tomorrow is to shine
Then we must dream of better days
Trust and faith go hand in hand
Yet the mind sometimes reels
When it cannot see the end
And knows only what it feels

Crown

Can a cap ever be lighter than a crown
Since the same holds true the other way around
No one, not prince nor pauper
Will ever evade the final reaper
And yet such distinctions are always made
When titles and names are apt to fade
Is it not better to be but a man
And have just one adoring fan

The band plays on

Scratches on my finger nails
Are just another sign
Of life flowing past me
In a river of songs and wine
A gauntlet of hard won races
Show through in subtle ways
A dye bottle in the cupboard
Eyes that see through haze
The march goes on regardless
And the ones that come behind
Are living what we lived
While we just watch them shine

Straight Talk

Why do people push you to the brink
To a place where the only refuge is in drink
If they didn't overstep their bounds
There would never be any grounds
For discomfort or dismay
For biting your tongue over what you want to say
But things are never as they should be
Else life would be to easy

Strings

Imagine jumping back in time
Going through the paces
Revisiting familiar places
But as someone else in their prime

Can our world really be full of strings
Where reality can change
Our futures can range
On so many different things

It's fun to dream
More fun to live
Knowing we can give
Direction to our steam

Lemonade

The world is a crazy place
And if you are lucky to find an ace
Then your hand is pretty good
And you should let the world spin as it should
But don't hold your breath for a better card
Because then life will be very hard
Just play with what you've got
And let the rest just go to pot

On butterfly wings they glide and sail
Through all kinds of things like snow, sleet and hail

Finding peace

Tell me, friend, do the questions
ever end?
Will we wake up one day and find
That we could have had peace of mind?
Or is this the lesson we must all learn
Akin to how a hand on a hot stove will burn?
Is it a disease of the soul
When all thoughts fall into a black hole?
I guess we just have to live and see
As there's no fast-tracking serenity.

To Life!

My head is pounding
My issue stressing
My heart still beating
My spirit appeasing
But despite all my resolve unyielding
