O.S. Brooks

Feed my struggle
Where I sleep tonight
Under a star-lit sky
Where my spirit crumbles
...

(Part one) Starry night

After all had settled
There was nothing left
...

A little boy cries
His father is gone
His mother has died
Their stuff on the lawn
...

I remember...
Yesterday
Prayer
Church songs
...

I learned
how to love
before
I learned
...

Still, another one fades off in the distance,
Till her sails are seen no longer.
Where she'll go on her gentle push north,
I can't say,
...

Let's dream until we get there,
And carry hope with us,
We'll kiss the skyline after,
We taught the world to trust.
...

I closed my eyes and cried as if the world is not enough
Then asked the stars that shine at night to heal us from above
Yet, in these dreams, we get to see if time can heal all wounds
For now, a friend is gone-my heart is missing pieces too
...

Your smile still holds the essence
Of everything I once loved and knew.
Your walk, your cool persona's quite remarkable too.
...

What of life my precious child,
causes you to push your little palms toward heaven
in hope to create freedom.
...

As if shot from a canon
I pressed against the wind
And my heart stopped in flight
For I was taken again
...

I am the reason you fell
Took that large heart of yours
and crushed it beneath my words
...

Her heart must feel heavy
Like granite
On the wings of a caged-bird
Fighting for freedom
...

We've been through far to many days apart,
Yet through them all,
You've stayed within,
The center of my heart.
...

We are but one storm festering
Gathering strength,
brewing up a fight.
We come with fist fills of mud clay proclaiming freedom.
...

To my star beneath your sky,

Do not just shine for me,
...

I am as free as I can stretch my unbent wings from side to side
I am as tall as I can Dream
I sing of liberty
I am america
...

Love,
The reason I would die for you
Lives,
Gentle heart of mine don't break
...

Underneath your chemical skyline
Briefly
I remember
Dreaming
...

They say that love is a woman
The way she changes our agendas
The way she chases her ambition
Even worst than a man does
...
