Tonight

Just tonight
let me dream again.
Just tonight
Let hope come see me again.
Just tonight
Let me believe in Love ’til the end.

Fishin’

Some days you catch your limit…

Some days you catch what you lost…

Some days the only thing you catch is peace of mind…

Sometimes those are the best days of all.

Demon Stairs

These stairs I climb
are not mine.

Each step I take
pushes me up and away.

No matter how many stairs I climb
I can’t escape
the demons in my mind.

The snakes of sorrow
slither just below my feet
hissing my regrets
spitting the venom of my mistakes.

No matter how many stairs I climb
They’re always there,
waiting…

They know I can’t climb forever
so they keep slithering,
and hissing…

Reminding me
I’ll never escape the demons in my mind.

Forward

Broken-hearted, jobless, and undirected I will move forward.
Not by external forces, but from within I will propel myself.
Unbound, but not unbroken.
The future is forward.

Love Smell

Do you know the smell of love?

It is the smell that enters as a smile, fills me with wonder, then leaves me to weep.

The smell penetrates my armor.
The smell burrows into my soul.
The smell plants it’s seed and spreads its roots.
The smell becomes me, weakens me.
The smell makes me more.
The smell makes me less.

Why do you do this?
You have no choice the smell whispers…
I’ve done this to you before and you’ll let me do it to you again.
The smell always breaks in and wins.
