Antagonist

Don't anger me, child
I've already experienced one very wild
My nerves are shot
And it's far too hot
For dealing with strive
So, please settle down to a quiet life

Lost Words

You asked me how to bat your eyes
But I just turned away
You wanted to know about your heart
But I wouldn't give you the time of day
Now those moments seem far and grim
When viewed through layers of regret
I have only myself to blame
So I promise never to forget

Let's grow

Soaking through the wet, wet ground
Rain drowns the seedlings found
Just below the earth's muddy crust
As into life they are thrust

Done!

So, we're at the end of May
And it's finally dawned a new day
A page has now been turned
And we can reap what has been earned

96%

Swinging softly through the trees
No one but myself to please
A link away from a higher calling
Nothing to do but keep from falling
Searching now for a bite to eat
Hanging carelessly from my feet
A carefree life from morn to night
Since genetics gave me a clouded sight

No time

Finding time to clear my mind
Is never an easy thing to do
Too many hours spent running 'round
Means quiet moments are very few

Egg shells

No quiet time for us
Always a mighty rush
Running past our strength
A peace shattered and bent
Our serenity disappeared
When we voiced what we feared

The troubling voice

I cannot listen to the voice that sings
For all of the pain and longing it brings
As crazy as this notion seems
It's a light through darkness that constantly gleams
No other voice has such power
To make me crave and make me shudder
A part of my soul that broke away
Ages ago through the millennial fray
Together once in lives long past
Knowing that forever does not last
But feeling the pull nonetheless
Speak softly through my distress
So the melody now cannot flow
For every note is a bittersweet blow

Alone?

When silent wings beat, 

Through the swollen air

No other thought rebounds

Except for what's flying there

A highly suspect mass

Of origin unknown

Watching from afar

Wondering just what can be shown

We just walk around

Not knowing that above

A nameless watcher waits

With hearts not filled with love

Thanks

I've found that in my life
The sun will always shine
No matter that the days
Are filled with sour brine
Somewhere in the muck
That spark is burning through
Guiding me along
And helping me to renew

Sweet dreams ;)

Night time
Beddy-bye
Snuggle up
And dream of me

Changes

Chillin' - just where we ought to be

Knowin' - things have shifted very subtley

Changin' - not always something bad

Acceptin' - the future's tentatively glad

Away

We've come back to a familiar place
To get away from the infernal race
Kick back, unwind
And just renew
A time for rest
And nothing new

New shoots

Your roots look dry
But please don't cry
We'll fix you right up
With this watery cup
A mound of dirt
Certainly won't hurt
And by summer's end
You'll be my friend

Anew

A penchant for something cool
A yearning for something blue
A twist revealed by fate
Prodding you to heights anew

May maddness

It's tough to face reality
When it seems so far from home
A cold hard fact to slam your face
Showing how far youth can roam
But when the drama's over
And the tides have ebbed away
Can we get over this
And return to our month of May?

Chill

The cold has come down
Now the leaves shiver and the blossoms hide
We all watch wistfully
As from inside we hide

Innocence gone

The floor just fell away
When I heard what he had to say
Nothing suddenly made sense
Everything coloured by a twisted lens
All I ever thought I knew
Was no longer at all true
And now the hardest part
Is figuring out just where to start

Gift

A hot flash of light
Can sometimes dispel the night
But in a different space
All it does is change the pace
Suddenly the seasons shift
And you see a random gift

Planting right

Stuck, not knowing what to do
Fully wishing, I new how things grew
Thought I was doing the right thing
But it's been a very hot spring
Now it's back to square one
As everything seems undone

Stressful

I can't say what I feel
The thoughts & emotions are much too real
The culmination of what I fear
Looms ever larger as the date draws near
A scare so violent that in the past
It was an issue dealt with fast
Now it seems that I'll have to face
The fact that I might not win this race

Don't speak

Don't talk to me tonight
Everything will start a fight
I'm on edge don't know why
So just look away
That's all I can say

Summer call

A bit of air to jog the brain
Grass underfoot to ease the pain
Some earth and dirt to help with gain
And now some clouds for much needed rain

Waiting for results 2

Another type of waiting
Is being done now by a friend
Hoping that his waiting
Is finally at an end

Another week will see it
The stress of being on
Of setting goals and figures
Of praying you're not wrong

Waiting for results

A sting is all it makes
But the sting will last
Now the waiting has begun
Let's hope the time goes fast

No way to express the fear
Of waiting and waiting to hear

Let's hope it all goes well
I don't yet want to hear that bell

Karma

Thank you for your time
Kind words are never a crime
Say with grace what's on your mind
And very often what you'll find
Is that all you want in life
Will come to you without strife
