poetry Boulevard of broken dreams I walk alone silent in the night pulling my collar up against the wind was it worth it? was she? this is my life now this is what I must do the money is what matters I hate what I have become my life what he made me confidence man drifter what happens to a dream deferred how the he** would I know? this is who I am and I hate myself for it. Fade to Black A harsh wind washes over me remembrances of a bitter past the life I led I am alone now all they took from me she doesn't know what I am to find peace in her arms not for me I can never be loved I can never be free I must be strong show them I am in charge hated feared this is how it must be they thought they could trust me I showed them who has the upper hand now? Locke will look like a fool this is my life now you must despise me no peace and no forgiveness I have always been alone. What becomes a legend most What becomes a legend most? a look a smile a tone of voice the way he walks or says hello what is it that grabs my attention makes me pause take a second glance what is that je ne sais quoi that moves me makes me ask who is that man makes me laugh or makes me cry not everyone has it though they may try that perfect intangible mysterious spark I know it when I see it flashing across my screen in the dark that hidden quality special something I can't describe that's what becomes a legend most |

poetry Someday Someday I will be far away from here where I can see the sun feel the wind and the rain be free someday I won't have this duty this responsibility to save the world someday I'll be able to sleep `till noon wrapped in my love's healing embrace free from worry despair someday my father will be proud of me love me take me as I am duty surrounds me time hangs heavy it may be too late for Kelvin but not for me I will do my duty bide my time until they come I will be free someday Requiem I am all alone now Kelvin is gone freed of his mortal encumbrances I am adrift tossed on a sea of anguish despair who will comfort me share my burden be my friend time hangs heavy duty calls I must be strong he would want me to I must go on I will survive somehow. The measure of a man You have to be strong you have to be fast you have to be tough is it enough? you have to be brave you have to be smart it's never enough is that the true measure of a man? caring compassion love for children and that special someone emotion shedding a tear laughing heartily comforting a friend strength spirituality faith love that is the true measure of a man. Shattered I am lost tossed unmercifully on waves of despair the bottle comforts me my only peace is found in inebriation's embrace oblivion to slip gently into the arms of morpheus to forget what I've done what I am all I've lost to forget her the pain burns deeply searing how did this happen I could have been happy I'd end it all but I haven't the will this is my life now alone no rest and no forgiveness I know what I must do. |

poetry House of pain Darkness washes over me rolling clouds of doubt was I wrong? was she? all I wanted was to be happy I did it for us rejected tossed aside like yesterday's garbage I gave her my heart my soul asked for nothing but love in return anger too strong blinding why won't she listen? understand I wanted to spend my life with her I thought she loved me unconditionally one more dream destroyed smashed on the rocks of fate is this my destiny? to end up alone I am torn shattered my wounds the kind no doctors can heal I am lost alone this is my life now I have always been alone. Fire and ice I am fire you are ice I am the moth you are the flame I am the wound You are the bandage I was lost you found me I was hurt you helped me heal I was broken you made me whole I am forgiving you are angry I am conflicted you are convinced I need understanding you can't give it I am here and you are gone. Destiny's child I am alive free I feel a connection to this place again its lifeforce flows through me makes me whole I am wounded but remain unbroken believer once more my burden has been lifted seeker acolyte the spirit of the island calls me I will follow I will learn everything it can teach me the sun warms my face breathes life into me I drink deeply from its cup few understand the gifts it can bestow the price is not too steep I will follow I will listen the island calls to me I hear it it is saying welcome home. |
Hurt I am torn tossed on the waves of doubt can I trust him? is he one of them? does it matter? uncertainty runs through me sharp biting like the metal that tears my flesh I am no longer in control I know not what to do pain surrounds me now burning liquid fire my legs are trapped useless white hot pain sears me I can't think will someone come? it's almost time for the code to be input will he make it? am I being tested? I did what was asked of me should I have trusted him? this mysterious man from Minnesota is he somehow behind this? was his map a trick? I hope they find the answers chaos surrounds me who is pulling the strings is this all a game? we suspect do they already know? Torn Part of me died today you walked away leaving me standing alone rejected all the money in the world can't heal the hurt fill the emptiness inside me make me whole again you left you didn't care I was crushed shattered in millions of tiny pieces all I wanted was for us to be together to be happy always was it too much to ask? to hope for? You drove away without a second glance part of me died today and it's his fault. |

And the land cried out... In the beginning there was land and there was the coalition the coalition invaded the land in the name of liberation the coalition said "rejoice, you are free" and the land cried out "our cities lie in ruins" the coalition said "your dictator is gone" and the land cried out "our children are starving" the coalition said "we'll give you a new government" and the land cried out "our families are dead" the coalition said "we know what's best" and the land cried out "our environment is poisoned" the coalition said "this war was just" and the world cried out "who wins and who loses? who profits and who dies? war is not the answer." |
