RAIN

My soul lay open for the rain
To wash away this heartfelt pain
Coursing through my soul and vein.
Thunder cries I feel its ROAR!
Wanting for the pain no more.
Lightening CRASHES!...flashing lights...
The wind to blow away my strife.
Will I sway as I stand still..
will this Storm breech my will...
eyes closed tears mixed with rain...
a smile for if we meet again...
another future......another past,
maybe then we're meant to last......
and as this STORM subsides and the flowers grow...
my soul will heal and my heart will hurt no more..

In Captivity....

My body moving of it's own accord
away from reason...just wanting yours
not caring who..what..where..why..or when
purely the anticipation of you entering in
you filled my soul..with no scope left..
how do I take the chance on someone else?
Is it fair to leave me in this way?
my trust in you, complete...from that very day
No raison d'etre just spirit free..closed my eyes
to be enveloped by thee..does this come for a lifetime?
or merely a day? brought by one? or is there another
who can breach me in this way?
I ask myself questions...there are no answers to...
fierce and independent..desiring to be ruled by you.
Do you know? are you aware?
when I close my eyes I feel you there..
my body shudders..my mind in disbelief...the intensity of which
I can find no reprieve. How shall I escape how shall I get through..
my mind...my body...held captive...by you.

Letting go......

Like a whirlwind you came...disrupted my 'sane'
A lot to lose...I lost...but, so much more to gain
The possibilities were endless...you and I
Two souls combined
Damn...we could've touched the sky!
My mind and yours...crashing through doors
Never thought still now...you'd be seeping through my pores
I shake my head...clear my thoughts...still find no peace
Just dreaming of 'togetherness' and the intense 'release'
Why?..why?..why?...wings spread wide as I struggle to fly
They were clipped the day you made me cry...as I tumble
slowly down...feeling the hurt...pieces of me scatter to earth
Did you not feel? How could you not see...here I pause...
Are you even worthy of me? As I break my fall...the tears still
flow...my feet touches ground...as I let you go...the light
inside...though dim...never blew...I cannot convince you of something you knew...and so I proceed...more cautious now
feet planted firmly on the ground...knowing already that I'll
be okay...for the strength of my 'light' is enough...to guide my way.

Are you ready?

Hey....psst! you gonna ride with me on this ride they call LIFE?!
They say it goes UP..it goes DOWN!....there's twists and turns
they say it's worse than a merry-go-round...you might get dizzy
you may even throw up! But, I'll be damned if i'm sittinng back with HALF a
cup....or even half a PIE...you better believe I'm gonna ride this ride!
Do you think you can hang with me? You can't wait...no sir....don't you see?
Your either in LINE or your with ME! Cause I've got that FAST PASS!
I'm not standing with my head up.....watching others scream...as they
pursue and reach their DREAMS! Come on now....your moving SLOW!
drop your bags and let's GO! It'll still be locked up when we come back....
yeah...when we're old...sitting in our rockers...reminiscing about the day we decided to take
that ride and never look BACK! Our life was THEIR entertainment! Yes sirrrr
that's a FACT! Now we rest...cause we did our thing! and oohhhh the sweet memories it BRINGS!....eyes closed...hand in hand....I would've take that RIDE with no other man.
