Step 1

Now the desks are placed
And now the books are shelved
Maybe we can begin
To finally allow all thoughts to meld?

About time

For what it's worth
You've found your life
Now give in to rebirth

Stop messing around
You've past that line
And at night you'll sleep sound

Anger me

Why the anger at your lot
Was it the break from home?
The constant, every day reminder
That you were left alone?

Now it's gone, it's in the past
But you have never left
Dictating how we ought to act
Lest you find yourself bereft

Of all the hopes you've ever dreamed
And wondered along the way
Why anyone could every have
What you could never pay

But maybe its buried inside
A scared and frightened soul
Who tries their best to anger
To fill that very dark hole

Entitled

If we could fly among the clouds
How great would that feeling be?
Oh wait! We can - in big steel cans
Yet we're unimpressed with our ability,
To soar through the air
Without a care
Essentially defying gravity!

Retro

Take me back in time
To a place where sensations were new
A world of promise and one of hope
Where we felt pure and true

The party that never ended
The week-long social with friends
Posing with the best
In too-cool, had-to-know dens 

Time has flown yes, it's a fact
No regrets, no turning back
Live now and make the most
Or sigh inside and fade to black

Truant Blue

Your presence makes me weak
It fires dreams both lush and bleak
At least the fantasy's real
The one where I can talk and touch and feel
Know that as long as your music flows
I'll be haunting all your shows
And for making my knees go week
With your saucy, playful cheek
This mind I give to you
You'll find it's a true yet truant blue

Provinicials

Another vote was cast
No different than the past
A slippery slope for some
Hard to undo what's done
Can folk truly believe
The lies meant to deceive
And think their very best
Will do for all the rest?
Now we watch and wait
Guessing our coming fate.

First leaves

The first leaves hit the ground today
And left us so bereft
Of all the joys that summer holds
As now there's little left
Only cold awaits us in the frozen months to come
So, those little leaves reminded us that we should enjoy this sun

Dark heart?

Once you've been there can you ever go back?
When the heart is dark and the soul is black?
Gone the springs of gold and green
When thoughts of love cast a sun-filled sheen
Where youth might see but an honest path
The harden mind twists through a maze of math
But take heart, my friend, that all that's just
Will win out in the end.

Listen

They whisper all around us
And yet we fail to hear
Those quiet voices calling
Warning destruction's near

Maybe one day we'll remember
What our souls used to know
And bring back those ways
Where all was allowed to grow
