Sometimes I do not know where I am going.
Sometimes I have no idea where I have been.
Sometimes life is all about the knowing.
And I wonder will I ever win.
...

I am not humble in my day to day,
I sit amused watching life this mortality play.
I can never understand all He wants to show,
I look at His lessons and they seem high above on an unassailable plateau.
...

I sit here high in my tree.
My gaze travels and far do I see.

Murder makes headlines,
...

Decisions can be tricky and hard,
but I have found an easy way.
It works for me it's like my personal guard.
I just let my friends have their say.
...

No amount of tablets,
no amount of booze,
no amount of friends,
no amount of love,
...

A solitary soar, a lonely glide,
I search myself for a place to hide.
The truth tumbles all around,
reality smashing my tower of dreams down.
...

You say
'Another time. Another place. We could be together'
As the tears fall from your eyes,
It seems to me you regret tomorrow...
...

The three most expensive words.
'I love you.'
Such a high price.
Such a sacrifice.
...

That first look behind the deceptive drape,
How have we become so desperate in need of escape.
I see words falling from lips that shape lives,
See the myths we use to protect our lies.
...

A heart of stone at times is the only way to open your eyes in the morning.
This heart of stone can protect from the hurt, lies and deceits that are forever calling.
The granite face that stands against that cruel master Father Time.
...

My life is like a game of pool,
me being the chalk.
And every game that people play,
a little more of me is worn away.
...

Death is a receipt, for all the pain and suffering in Life.
A sign on the wall of Eternity.
No exchanges, no refunds, no pity.
...

Cold eyes, cold soul.
Time, just a way of knowing we will end.
Old eyes, old soul.
Time, just watching the sand descend.
...

Love stops,
Forget-me-nots.
Eyes blacked,
Love sacked.
...

I don't belong.
How long has this gone on?
I am nothing more than the winds faded song,
the whiskey as it fades from the tongue.
...

An age with ease of communicating
We developed the talent of procrastinating
I will ring, text, and email tomorrow
Today I...have...to...do...that thing.
...

I feel your spirit next to me,
You open my eyes, let me see.
That I am stronger now,
I stand proud, you wonder how?
...

Sitting in this crowded room,
surrounded by faces I know.
Their words slide by me,
smiles beckon yet defy me.
...

Have you hardened my heart?
Is my faith supposed to be this fragile, that a breath of wind could shred it apart.
Or should it be as strong as the rock of Horeb, and life giving also.
Do you want me assailed with doubts as I lie in the last watch of night,
...

I forgive those that heckle and bay as I follow my faith.
I forgive those that speak with a tongue that is fake.

I forgive those that kept me shackled and bound in the dark.
...
