dead actors like puppet strings
social injustice conspiracy spies
hiding between the immoral scene
government divided by corruption regressed
corporate scandals hidden by bullet proof vest
leaving broken misery of yesterday
from the crying tears of tomorrow
falsified hope borrowed
unemployment cut-throats
leaving a world by itself to cope
returning from its secret hiding place
where the past is repeated again
as the scars continue to bleed
revealing its inner reality check
where wisdom dissolves it's bitter pill
side effects become real
tritely expressed emotions
become s p i l l

violent leaders
killing wars in their innocent fight
plan of action resides within the just
turning their heads with their selfish lust
turmoil's deception found in a societal plan
vagrant beggars living in a homeless land
drug induced sanctuary where
hopeless nomads wonder around in their disguise
living in their circle of fictitious state
where hope is shattered upon the political plate
guilty governments trying hard to resolve
while empty stomach stay constantly starved
lonely confessions, dark emptied dreams
silently the final chapter remains
blanked pages filled with broken ink
troubled souls split with empty hearts
for a better tomorrows to finally start
shattered voices echo silent screams
from blackened memories unforeseen
as all these realistic thoughts unfold
from the visions of a world as I see untold
leaving back memories of yesterday
returning to their secret hiding place
as the past comes alive
revealing the inner real inside
where wisdom dissolves it's bitter pill
and knowledge is swallowed as food for thought-BT   | |

Posted: 12/5/2011 9:32:22 PM | The final crowd appears in the distance
as the band strikes up their pose
the lies have all been spoken
and the truth has all been told
One voice cries out in silence
while another screams out in vain
‘'we will not be forgotten'’
cause now you know our name
We are the few
the strong
we are the chosen one’s
we will not be denied
We fight for the truth,
the lost
the broken
we are the champions
we are the champions in disguise

Posted: 12/7/2011 4:54:57 PM | Sometimes when your all alone all you do is stress
running from your problems trying to do your best
days feel like weeks while the nights are so cold
looking for the answers to the questions you were told
Round and round we will all go insane
looking for the ending to the start of another game
trying to control something that always seems to win
guess there’s always tomorrow to start all over again
There will be a day when the path will be so clear
stop looking for the answers that are never there
put down that bullet you got loaded in the gun
playing Russian roulette by yourself ain’t much fun
Open up your eyes to the devil in disguise
look deep inside for there the truth resides
whats the point of sacrifice if your living in denial
step out from that ledge my friend walk with me awhile
Take a step back and be grateful for what you got
you can never change the past but the path you can mend
often life’s answers lay blowing in the wind
“IT’S NEVER TO LATE TO BECOME THE PERSON YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN!”- | |

Posted: 12/9/2011 10:13:06 PM | The cold dark air fades into the black
the night time brings old memories back
from the ancient realm of innocent times
ghostly figures now surround my mind
disappearing into a shadowed past
back when the days were filled with laughs
when innocence and joy did over-run
a neighborhood of vibrant life and fun
when the essence of life burned so bright
and their hearts were fueled for daring flight
to lift them higher upon destined paths
now lay dormant in the aftermath
I allow the silence to consume me
if only for a thought and then its gone
as the light of darkness softly passes through me
I quietly wonder into the night alone | |

Posted: 12/13/2011 12:43:37 AM | I guess I'll see you on the other side
we'll leave the prophets to divide
for it's in the ink that we profess
together we can win this war
the journey of life’s in the ‘give and take’
we may bend but never break
lets double up the bet and raise the stake
can we continue giving more than we can take?
Now I'll take mine as you take yours
and we’ll leave our pride at the door
dignity and courage we did our best
always felt we all deserved more
guess there's nothing left to divide
when you settle up the score ‘on the other side’- | |

Posted: 12/14/2011 11:48:57 PM | Let’s just stop this time before it gets any worse
I’m left stranded again bound by loves curse
why am I always waiting on your love to arrive?
what if we never have a next time?
you say you need me, but it's always goodbye
I say I believe you, but it's always a lie
If I gave you everything would that be enough?
how can I love a ‘love’ I cannot trust?
loving you sometimes is like loving a ghost
I want you here when I need you the most
loving you sometimes is like loving a ghost
I need you here when I want you the most
I want the truth, yea, that's what I need
your loves got me stricken dead like a disease
I’m left stranded again bound by loves curse
let’s just stop this time before it gets any worse | |

Posted: 12/19/2011 6:29:29 AM | re-reading the last page of last to first line
I again read the most recent poem of thine
hearing the lines you quoted once more
I thought to myself I have heard them before
they sounded familiar but I knew not from where
I googled to check and found them right here
a sputtering laugh to see my own face
guess when throwing poems they must land someplace
so thanks for the grin, sweet erota
I'd forgotten those lines til you bothered to quote 'er

Posted: 12/19/2011 4:48:31 PM | Awakened from her silence she rests
as the journey of her traveled destination is reached
for it's in our haste that we search our dreams
but its with our persistence that we unite them
longing for that ever constant struggle to become
we arrive
trodden on life's beaten path we remain embraced
as the return of the underlying truth is read
ghostly laughs applaud with a reminiscent certainty
invisible feet no longer shuffle into the unknown
love has arrived to her endless substance
where forgiveness is intertwined with pain
where courage is infused within each grain of eternal sand
where one heart beat crashes into the minds of body and soul
complete as one sound resonates silently aloud
a place where light and darkness shine
a perfect marriage of love and hate abate
where the failures of the past
become promises of the future
where struggles and triumphs prevail
where beauty is blinded by her inwardly stare
and love dies to be reborn again
into a bitter-sweet reflection of its youth
where time and space exceed into a parallel existence
looking back upon these thoughts
with limited resistance we move forward
dancing upon the “edge of glory"
bound by the invisible shore of time we collide!  | |

Posted: 1/8/2012 3:47:17 AM | The Gift
Beyond the sun, I see your smile
loving kindness expressed as a child.
I see your face bright as hue.
I loved you then as now I do.
My love for you is beyond compare
your dreams will lead you anywhere
although the road be tough, just do your best
give your all, and let God do the rest.
Look not to the shiny or glistened gold
what your eyes see now is not always told
remember true happiness cost not a nickel or dime
beauty can be found in the simplest mold.
When the road seems weary, dreary, and grey
when the struggles of today seem to cast all your ways
when the answers to life’s questions leave you in demand
allow time and great patience to be your best friend.
Hold true to your dreams for they live in your heart
never allow fear to discourage your start.
‘success is failure turned inside out’
your dreams are waiting to let reality out.
Know what you're not, and learn what you can
be humble in all things small or grand
for wisdom and knowledge lives in us all
it’s the smallest of people that often stand tall.
On the wings of an angel, new height's you will soar
faith is the blind man who sees so much more
for often our eyes are closed to what's right
having the faith of a child, for that is the true sight.
I pray my child for unconditional love.
I pray for God’s grace, and mercy above
to bring you the simplest of joy
for it's in the giving of love that your heart is restored.
I pray for strong morals and a courageous mind.
strong dedication with a willingness to survive
I pray for true greatness in all that you do.
may all your dreams and best wishes come true.
Be strong in the fight and bold in your march.
let nothing deter you from following your heart
be humble and graceful in all you receive
its the character in spirit that gives you your needs.
Hold high to your morals and respect in yourself
love all your enemies and pray for your friends
make peace with your failures and commonly unite
for a true servant to all is more prized than a knight.
Hold true to the ones that show you the way
that tells you your faults with a kind display
be bold in your choices, stand firm in your talk
true leadership is won by the cause which its fought.
Never look to the color of anyone skin
for true beauty resides in the skin deep within
know that love is a two-player game
that knows not the color of the faces that play.
Start on your journey and get ready to fail,
for many a crossroads surely will derail
now your left standing with the writing on the wall.
“that often the best advice in life, is sometimes no advice at all!”

Posted: 1/19/2012 2:13:25 AM | Never feared for anything
Never shamed but never free
A life to heal the broken heart with all that it could
Lived a life so endlessly
Saw beyond what others see
I tried to heal your broken heart with all that I could
Will you stay?
Will you stay away forever?
How do I live without the ones I love?
Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned
Place and time always on my mind
I have so much to say but you're so far away
Plans of what our futures hold
Foolish lies of growing old
It seems we're so invincible
The truth is so cold
A final song, a last request
A perfect chapter laid to rest
Now and then I try to find a place in my mind
Where you can stay
You can stay away forever
How do I live without the ones I love?
Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned
Place and time always on my mind
I have so much to say but you're so far away
Sleep tight, I'm not afraid
The ones that we love are here with me
Lay away a place for me
Cause as soon as I'm done I'll be on my way
To live eternally
How do I live without the ones I love?
Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned
Place and time always on my mind
And the light you left remains but it's so hard to stay
When I have so much to say but you're so far away
I love you
You were ready
The pain is strong and urges rise
But I'll see you
When He lets me
Your pain is gone, your hands untied
So far away
And I need you to know
So far away
And I need you to, need you to know
"So Far Away" Lyrics: Avenged Sevenfold | |

Posted: 2/20/2012 11:23:50 PM | Congratulations!
Today is your day,
You're off to Great Places!
You're off and away!
You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself
any direction you choose.
You're on your own. And you know what you know.
And YOU are the guy who'll decide where to go.
You'll look up and down streets. Look 'em over with care.
About some you will say, "I don't choose to go there."
With your head full of brains, and your shoes full of feet,
you're too smart to go down any not-so-good street.
And you may not find any
you'll want to go down.
In that case, of course,
you'll head straight out of town.
It's opener there
in the wide open air.
Out there things can happen
and frequently do
to people as brainy
and footsy as you.
And when things start to happen,
don't worry. Don't stew.
Just go right along.
You'll start happening too.
OH!
THE PLACES YOU'LL GO!
You'll be on your way up!
You'll be seeing great sites!
You'll join the high fliers!
who soar to high heights.
You won't lag behind, because you'll have the speed.
You'll pass the whole gang and you'll soon take the lead.
Wherever you fly, you'll be best of the best.
Wherever you go, you will top all the rest.
Except when you don't.
Because, sometimes, you won't.
I'm sorry to says so
but, sadly, it's true
that Bang-ups
and Hang-ups
can happen to you
You can get all hung up
in a prickle-ly perch.
And your gang will fly on.
You'll be left in a Lurch.
You'll come down from the Lunch
wuth an unpleasant bump.
And the chances are, then,
that you'll be in a Slump.
And when you're in a Slump,
you're not in for much fun.
Un-slumping yourself
is not easily done.
You will come to a place where the streets are not marked.
Some windows are lighted. But mostly they're dark.
A place that could sprain both elbow and chin!
Do you dare to stay out? Do you dare to go in?
How much can you lose? How much can you win?
And IF you should go in,should you turn left or right...
or right-and-three-quaters? Or maybe not quite?
Or go around and back and sneak from behind?
Simple it's not, I'm afraid you will find,
for a mind-maker-upper to make up his mind.
You can get so confused
that you'll start in to race
down long and wiggled roads at a break-necking pace
and grind on for miles across weirdish wild space,
headed, I fear, toward a most usless place
The Waiting Place...
...for people just waiting.
Waiting for a train to go
or a bus to come, or a plane to go
or the mail to come, or the rain to go
or the phone to ring, or the snow to snow
or waiting around for a Yes or a No
or waiting for their hair to grow.
Everyone is just waiting.
Waiting for the fish to bite
or waiting for wind to fly a kite
or waiting around for Friday night
or waiting, perhaps, for their uncle Jake
or a pot to boil, or a Better Break
or a string of pearls, or a pair of pants
or a wig with curls, or Another Chance.
Everyone is just waiting.
NO!
That's not for you!
Somehow you'll escape
all that waiting and staying.
You'll find the bright places
where boom bands are playing.
Oh, the places you'll go! There is fun to be done!
There are points to be scored. There are games to be won.
And the magical things you can do with that ball
will make you the winning-est winner of all.
Fame! You'll be famous as famous can be,
with the whole wide world watching you win on TV.
Except when they don't.
Because, sometimes, they won't.
I'm afraid that some times
you'll play lonely games too.
Games you can't win
'cause you'll play against you.
All Alone!
Whether you like it or not.
Alone will be something
you'll be quite a lot.
And when you're alone, theres a very good chance
you'll meet things that scare you right out of your pants.
There are some, down the road between hither and yon,
that can scare you so much you won't want to go on.
But on you will go
though the whether be foul.
On you will go
though your enemies prowl.
On you will go
though the Hakken-Kraks howl.
Onward up many
a frightening creek,
though you arms may get sore
and your sneakers may leak.
On and on you will hike.
And I know you'll hike far
and face up to your problems
whatever they are.
You'll get mixed up of course,
as you already know.
You'll get mixed up
with many stray birds as you go.
So be sure when you step.
Step with care and great tact
and remember that Life's
a Great Balancing Act.
Just never forget to be dexterous and deft.
And never mix up your right foot with you left.
And will you succeed?
Yes! You will indeed!
(98 and 3/4 percent garanteed!)
KID YOU'LL MOVE MOUNTAINS!
So...
be your name Buxbaum or Bixby or Bray
or Mordecai Ali Van Alenn O'Shea
you're off to Great Places!
Today is your day!
Your mountain is waiting.
So... get on your way!-Dr Seuss   | |

Posted: 3/4/2012 12:17:22 AM | Remember back when.....
life’s too short
dont wanna go to court
green Izod's killin
feelin super spent chillin
4am dawns break
cant seem to wake
cant seem to shake
these lawyer fees
tell me when its 8
gotta go no
grab a bus for the show
got the lawyer for the low
he’s a no go
money too slow
head spinnin still
nothing seems real
spewing in bathroom stalls
full round of applause
front row seats
judge speaks
intellect tweaks
do or die time
EYE-shine
mouthed words spoken
legal defense golden
successfully filed motion
swaying like the ocean
blessed only emotion
last breath hold-en
next stop token
lost in purplehaze
drifting lost maze
dro fire up the blaze
another long day
nightmare dreams
SILENCE screams
silence SCREAMS
sleep filled craze
short fused rage
ink filled page
memories lost fade
waste away
waste away
wasted away
wasted days-BT | |

Posted: 3/5/2012 4:14:07 PM | I see someone teetering on
the 'break at the bend'
I see someone
who loves to hate
I see someone
who hates to love
the pain within
I see someone afraid of the truth
afraid to shed their skin
and open up within
I see the lies
I see truths alibis
staring back at me
what else do I see?
I see the real reflected and staring
gazing forth from the bright light of rejection
I see darkness fade
I see a different shade
of truth relived
into the ‘real’
who is this person revealed?
ME  | |

Posted: 3/9/2012 9:58:48 PM | Is this a place?
to lay life’s waste
down for a bit
slow down unwind
from fast paced time
is this a place?
to lay my head
from bewildered confusion
a slower shade of grey
fading from dismay
is this a place?
where change speaks silence
where everything “is what it is”
while nothing remains the same
a place to become insane
is this a place?
to come undone
trade pain for fun
relax from
the cold steel rail
remove a smile from its veil
a heaven within hell
is this a place?
a place to hesitate
together
forever
as
one
in a place beyond the sun
is this a place?
to truly feel
complete in exchange
when loves rearranged
back into the 'real'
a place to truly feel
like being truly YOU
‘pssst
do you hear’
the winds whisper still
blowin change in the wind
‘pssst
do you hear’
the winds whisper still
blowin change in the wind
‘just beyond our reach’ | |

Posted: 3/14/2012 10:44:07 PM | To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Posted: 3/16/2012 7:12:16 AM | There was a time when i was feeling alone...
I build enough courage to depend on my own...
He was finally out of my life no more problems were made...
I just had to get back on my two feet, out of the dark shade...
I was so proud of myself for not given in...
Looking back at the past i waisted years being with him...
I don't regret any of it, i take it as a lesson to be learned...
And all my stuff i had was lost and burned...
He once made me feel the pain and feel ashamed...
He thought he could point the finger at me to blame...
My life matters and my children comes first...
Times he made a big attention burst...
That never stop me for taking care of my children's health...
Making sure they have a roof over their heads, food that they can eat for them selves...
I never put myself first...
I will starve and be in thirst...
But it does matter that i am strong...
To take with me that belongs...
He never knew i was going to make it...
I just knew he would pull a fit...
Im so done with him he has no concern...
He just turn around and left me to burn...
Not this time i have all ready learned...
From his whispers from the shadows to turn... | |

Posted: 3/16/2012 7:59:03 AM | Listen to the spirit of a gentle flowing stream
Hear the silence of an unforgotten dream
For the cup of joy deepened by sorrow
Holds more new wine come tomorrow
Wordy warrior resting beside crossroad
How may I help lift your heavy load
Tell you tales of battles well fought
Weigh the value of goals I sought
With sword sheathed and shield unbroken
The weary knight was still soft spoken
Just show me the way to join forces
In pasture with fresh water for my horses | |

“Never allow someone to be your priority while allowing yourself to be their option.”
- Mark Twain
Had to learn this the hard way yanno, but sometimes that's the only way to grow!
lookingforsophia, 'thank you' for taking the time to drop a line! I will definitely keep your thoughts in the corner of my mind!
Take Care
we don’t ever talk anymore
can’t fight this feeling
pain tears and scars
truth be told I just don’t need them
memories of what could have been
yea, you know, you and I
my hearts been on guard
the day you said goodbye
take care
and I hope I see you around
they say what’s lost just can’t be found
I know the past can’t be replaced
but what we had girl can’t be erased
take care,
now that you’re gone
I wish you were here
I guess dreams do come true
now that you're near
you can build a house but not a home
guess I will see you around
now that I’m moving on
yea, I know there’s no future in the past
but what we have girl
just won’t last,
yea, I know there’s no future in the past
but what we have girl just won’t last,
take care,
I know the past can’t be erased
but what we had girl can’t be replaced
they say what’s lost just can’t be found
I hope next time I’ll see you around
take care,
now I’m moving on
take care,
and I hope I see you around
somewhere,
they say what’s lost just can’t be found
and I hope I see you around
take care,
seems like forever, since you’ve been gone
truth be told, I feel so alone,
but what seems lost, I guess I found,
hope next time, I’ll see you around,
take care,
and now the past has been replaced
and what seemed lost is now erased
now that you’re gone, I want you back
but I’m moving on now, to what I’ve got
take care!  | |

'Be Not Unequally Yoked'
The playful Plow Horse Joked
Jumping off the Merry-Go-Round
Running as he hit the Ground
Overhead a Winged horse flew
Guess that's when I finally knew
Twas time to take new courses
Find a way to control these horses
My Bumper Car pulled a hard U turn
The paddle wheeeler began to churn
'Mark Twain' the helmsman proclaimed
'Two Fathoms' of depth still remained
Plenty of fish my Sea Horse saw
Watching at sun rise with awe
For a Mermaid who likes carrot cake
Or maybes jest not afraid of my snake | |
