The Fall

The horrible reality

of pain and alcohol

So many broken promises

and oh, how hard the fall...

Memories

How the memories come to me

they take me by the hand

The ocean breeze upon on my face

and beaches with white sand...

The cove that kept our secrets safe

our special hiding place

I felt so safe within your arms

your sweet and lovely face...

The Scar

Why is it that we struggle so

with who and what we are?

We wear a mask and try to hide

so no one sees the scar...

Hurting Friends

So many hurting friends today

they struggle to get by

Existing in a world of pain

that often makes them cry...

So far removed from where they were

they never could have known

That fate would take away their smiles

and leave them so alone...

They live in moments where they hope 

the hurting goes away

A brief and peaceful interlude

that keeps it all at bay...

Music Flowers for your soul

Longing

Oh the longing in my heart

it never goes away

Unrelenting cries for you

that plead with me each day...

I Wish You Well

I'm going on a journey soon

I won't be back again

The time has come to settle things

and say good bye my friend...

I'd like to think that I'll live on

inside a memory

Perhaps a moment we both shared

will make you think of me...

I wish you well in everything

and that you'll find your way

The path to all your hopes and dreams

and laughter every day...

Flesh

Adopted in a world of flesh

and forced to often flee

   How can a man defend himself

from something he can't see?
