Trust, Open, Be, Dont

Trust
Trust me
Trust that I wont hurt you
Trust that I care about how you feel

Open
Open your mind
Open your heart and you will know
Open the door and let me into your world

Be
Be you
Be with me and I will understand
Be with your heart for I know where it lies.

Don't
Don't leave
Don't expect me to let you go
Don't believe that you don't belong by my side

To Those Who Have Passed

To those who have passed I write
To those whose life ends this night
To those we loved all our lives
To those caring for us with pride

We will miss being able to hear your voice
We will miss hearing about your little boys
We will miss listening to the tales you told
We will miss reaching for your hand to hold

I can't begin to explain the feelings I feel
Pride, loss, sadness, love, honor with zeal
A conglomerate of emotions fill my heart
Tears fill my eyes while my heart falls apart

As a baby you held me in your arms
I never felt safer and further from harm
As a child I eagerly waited to visit
Playing games with you never wanting to quit

As a teen I listened to your wondrous yarns
Of years gone by and the kiss in the barn
Teaching me patience with a zest for life
Teaching me humility with a mind like a knife

As an adult I use your wisdom every day
Exuding from my behaviors, my speech, my play
I teach the young what you have taught me
To love, learn, and laugh and above all  be free

I feel your love..and I cry for you
I write for you..and I cry for you
I remember for us..and I cry for you
I teach for them..and I cry for you

You are what I am made of
Thank you for being here 'til the end
Thank you for your undying love
Ill hold it tight, it shall not bend

Click

Click, Click, Click, Click, Click
Nonstop my fingers roam the keys
Searching for the words to fill the space
That my mouth is unable to vocalize

I sometimes wish I could speak
In the same voice I type these words
I yearn for the day that my thoughts are heard
By the person for whom I pine

The wantings my heart possesses
Are the wishes my dreams agress
Nightly in my rapid eye sleep
I chase the woman of my dreams

Sometime I wake in a furious sweat
Forgetting the purposes I have suppressed
But I know what I must finally do
I must explain where my heart is true

I've decided  she must know how I truly feel
I know that she'll be pleased to know I'm real
For I have haunted her thoughts before
She understands my sweat that pours.

We will engage each other well into the night
We will begin to live our dreams outright
Because forever does the clock continue to tick
Click, Click, Click, Click ,Click

Reaping Wishes

I have known you for so many years

Never knowing the effect you would have

We lived our lives separate and apart

Not knowing what's in our hearts

After meeting again and seeing your beauty

I was taken aback and my mouth dropped wide

Angelic and divine

 I was hoping you'd be mine

Your strength is inspiring 

With how you live your life

Your compassion is warming

Melting my frozen heart

I can remember the first night we kissed

Holding you tight with your hair in my fist

You melted into me and we became one

Nothing else existed until the rising of the sun

I think about it often and how you made me feel

I think about the times we shared everything that's real

It's been so long since I've felt so alive

Since I met you I've been frozen in time

Reliving the moments while I walk down the halls

Remembering with clarity the trembling of the walls

Wishing for your presence is the only dream I keep

Having you by my side is the wish I wish to reap.

Glory Of An Angel

I have touched an angel in my dreams
I have been to heaven under her wings
She flies high and soars with me
Saving my life subconsciously

Beauty cannot be judged
Perfection is apparent
Beauty can only be admired
My submission is warrant

Her strength of character
Her conviction to be
Her internal radiance
Makes me glow throughout

I wish I was there to hold her hand
I wish I was able to be her man
But until I wake and submit the truth
The glory of this angel is my only sooth

Obrien's XX

O'Briens is great

To quench my thirst with my friends

May the roads stay dry

Wandering Mind

The mind wanders while I work

Dreaming of what may be

Flitting about like a half winged bee

Unable to rest....

Unable to rest

Surrounding my thoughts

Are the visions I see

Future of you and future of me

Holding each other into the night

Waking at times to consummate our plight

We talk until dawn 

We sleep until noon

We discover each other

We discover the moon

I've lived a life without you

I've lived a life that's empty

I've lived my life incomplete

I've waited for you to be.

Now I know the reasons I've lost

To find you substantiates the cost

I'll begin again and I'll make it count

I'll control my destiny

I know now what it's all about.

O'Brien's XIX

O'Brien's will be overtaken tonight
Because Thursday nights have become our nights
Regardless of the stories you may hear
This is the place to be when good friends are near

Open Mic has issued the call to everyone in range
Let's hear your voice and feel your presence on the stage
Freddy will run the show on the mic and in the crowd
Joe will jam on the drums playing deftly, playing proud

Every week it's gets better and the crowds gets rowdy
If Joel Kiddy ever shows up I'll say, "Hey Joel...Howdy!"
Inside joke but that's ok
My brain is mush come Thursday

Jami's birthday is tonight. I hope she shows.
Maybe she'll sing a song that everyone knows.
With all the snow and the cold biting at our skin.
We need to relax, have a drink, and maybe a little sin

Together We Will Have The World

Songs have been written, poems have been read
Stories have been told and you are in my head
I know that what I have to offer isnt much to some
But what I have is yours to see what we may become

Freedom to love and freedom to live
Freedom to cherish the love that we give
I ask so much of you that I wonder why you love
I have so little to give, I pray I'm what you dream of

I don't need anything but passion
I dont need anyone but you
I don't need to be in the action
I just need you to hold onto

We may not have much together
But together we will have the world
With your arm hooked to mine
We will take the world by storm

You may scoff at my menial insecurities
You may say that I have more than plenty
But I only wish to make sure you are happy
Throughout your life, through the seasons with me.

For when we are old and can no longer speak
I want to look into your eyes and see happiness peak
A life filled with love, A life filled with you
That's all I need to have, That's all I need from you.

Til The End Of Time

Don't try to restrict your emotions
Don't try to restrain your thoughts
Be the person you are, thoughtful and true
Understand why you feel feelings that stew

Know what you want from this life you lead
Know who you want to be the one you need
Begin to transform your life as you wish
You must start somewhere, start with a kiss

Feel the power of the emotional pull
Feel the urgency that summons your will
The mind can do amazing things
Strength and fortitude are persevering

I've tasted your passion, I've felt your touch
I've heard your voice, I'm in your clutch
Your beauty is not only second to none
Your beauty is cosmic high above the sun

That's where I soar when I think of you
That's where I sleep every night with you
That's where I'll live once you are finally mine
That's where our lives will be til the end of time

O'Brien's XVIII

Tonight for me is a special night
Come down and treat me right
I'm a man now without a wife
Telling me what's wrong with her life

But the past is the past and I'm not there
I'm in the present living it toe to toe, stare to stare
Celebrate with me at O'Brien's Pub
The day of the week at the social hub

Freddy will be jammin and making a scene
Joe will be drummin, livin' the dream
Tonight will be a night you wont forget
I will be on the mic, I promise, dont you fret

I can't tell you how fun it will be
To party hearty and drink with me
Friends will be together tonight
Happiness is here, freedom is might.

Choice Has Been Made

What have I been missing all these years?

What have I been searching for through the tears?

Who was the one that could have rescued me?

Who have I waited for to set me free?

The answer is you, I know this is right

An angel that I've seen but just a few nights

A woman that I've longed for in my heart

A lady in my mind that soothes my worries that start.

I've been missing someone to hold close

I've been yearning for someone to love

I've been aching to find you amongst the crowd

I've been begging you to hear me screaming aloud

I was searching with sorrow and to no avail

To find the woman that could cure my ails

To ease my pain and heal my soul

The tears blinded my vision losing what I could know.

I finally wiped the tears and opened my eyes

And you were standing there, perfection doesn't lie

I immediately found a connection with you

I hope that I am able to please you too

You lifted me out of the pit I was in

Rescuing me from myself and my sins

Making me realize what has been amiss

A beauty to behold and a love to kiss

You gave me reason to take the next step

No matter where it goes with you I have leapt

I will not look back wondering if I made the right choice

It's you I love, forever I will, in your presence, rejoice

Alone

And so here I am alone again
All the what ifs and buts my only friends
Maybe I shouldnt be a friend to all
Friendliness is dangerous when there is alcohol

Unintentionally I have broken a heart
My own stupidity ripped us apart
So I wept and I went to bed
With my heart in my throat and her love only in my head.

Don't leave

I've been through alot and I've thought this through
The last thing I want to do is cause pain to you
My dreams have been clear since I saw your face
My heart has been yours since I saw my place

I respect you and care for your beautiful soul
I have tears in my eyes thinking about the happiness we could know
Just take a chance and I'll show you my heart
I'll throw everything else away to give us a start

Your passion is contagious your beauty is divine
You intoxicate me immensely like a fine wine
The visions of you are swirling in my head
My loins are aching for you in my bed

I want to hold you tight and lock all the doors
I want to kiss your lips intimately and so much more
I will kiss your neck with passion and fire
I will make you melt in my arms, it's you I admire

You have given me hope and opened my eyes
I now have a reason for my life to apply
Before you arrived I was lonely with dispair
What happened to my life I really didnt care

I am an honest man and as dumb as they come
I do stupid things but my heart is not numb
It throbs so strong probing for your love
It knows what it wants despite what I've done
