Relax Already

It's Friday night
And everyone but you is right
We're set to unwind
But to this you're just so blind
Instead you holler, shout & scream
Shattering our very relaxing dream

Being 6

I'm reliving all those days
When the world was a great, big
Playful maze

When we spent the summer
tripping through flower fields
Dancing & laughing with no protective shields

A sunlit world where laughter rang
Where fairies played and
Where pixies sang

Leave me be
And set me free
Why do you you
Want to hang on?
A long lost crush
A fateful brush
Entwined me
in your song.
But now I see
The false idolatry
And understand
Just how I was wrong

Idea

Your voice pierces right through to me
And I'll love you endlessly
A mighty romantic refrain
That has saturated my frame
And left a longing inside of me
That might burn out eventually
But until such time I'm left with your face
The image of which I simply cannot erase
And through this bitter sweet agony
You're still such a big part of me

Freeze

Cold. As the icicles hanging from the eaves.
Frozen. As the lands at both our poles.
Hard. As the carbon compressed into gems.
Beautiful. As the frost fairies dancing on the sill.

Crush

You linger still
In my mind
Haunting my every thought
A ghostly figure
Of perfect grace
A god that time forgot

In dreams

I saw you in my dream last night
You walked right up to me
You put your arms around my waist
And whispered "let us marry"

Although confused I knew a joy
My heart it beat quite fast
Your lips brushed mine
And all I could think was "I hope that this will last"

You comforted me in my distress
And led me through your town
But when a friend did show up
You left me with a frown

Later on I realized
That the quiet of your home
Was a sanctuary best left untouched
As you were meant to roam

I awoke with heavy heart
Knowing that it was smoke
And spent my day wishing again
To feel your gentle stroke

Circle back

A feeling of having been here before
But this time I will certainly walk through the door
Understanding that I've been given a chance
To hear the music I've chosen for this dance
Not something to sniff at these days
When it's not easy finding something that pays
So let's hold onto this precious gift
Knowing that through it we are getting a lift

Back to the start

I passed through insecurity
A dark, dark please that wasn't good for me
I passed through confidence without mind
But security and comfort I did not find
Now I've reached a new plateau
Where my ignorance has begun to show
I see now how pride pulled me down
Yet I won't leave this humbling town
I understand now I have much to learn
And in my soul I can feel a burn
To return to a place I left long ago
To gain some wisdom and finally grow

Onward

Things are looking up, my friend
It goes to show there is no end
Until our Maker calls us up
We must keep refilling our earthly cup

Unclear

It's hard to understand
The constant shifting of the sand
Although we think our ways are good
There's always that question of "should?"
Should we have done things differently?
Should we have trained more expertly?
Should we have wait longer still?
Should we just accept it was higher Will?

Facetime

Don't talk to me of yesterday, I don't want anyone to know
Or remember what I felt that day, as it wasn't meant to show
I'm growing up in little bits, I finding my own voice
But I haven't figured out just yet, to confront my choice
I will get it you will see, in time, I just need some space
And then I'll be able to look everyone in their face

Hi again

Ah, the funny twists of fate
That throw us into situations
Where we can't foresee the repercussions!

Only as we mature
Can we see the players in the game
Ensuring the mistakes don't remain the same!

Progression

Repression

Proclamation

Vacillation

Anticipation

Emancipation

Degradation 

Lost

When manners counted above all things
We were then quite civilized beings
Now the free for all we see
Has resulted in vulgar company
No more polish, spit or shine
Those all belong to a more proper time

Fresh foot

Hurrah we've made it
We've passed the line
We've gathered together
To mark this time
No longer hoping for what's not
And ever thankful for what we've got
We've raised a toast to the past
With this meal we break our fast
To the future we look now
Relying on each other to get through the how

2014 together

We've walked a path of love and loss
We've stuck it out despite the cost
Now as we watch the future unfold
We get to write of moments yet untold
We're growing older, yes, it's true
But yet each day feels fresh and new
Let's all hold hands as we face the year
And stick together remembering what's dear
