The Dream

Linder0818

Can’t stop thinking about you

Always on my mind.

Intoxicating sweet whisperings

Seductive temptation

That warm fuzzy feeling

Spreading within

Some long ago memory

A quick escape

But you are not good for me

Unhealthy and bad

Wrong turn on the pathway

Poisonous detours

My white chocolate caramel cappuccino

Right there in my dreams...

Spinning

Never had someone look at me this way.

Your eyes, they only see me.

I never doubt just how you feel,

And baby I totally agree!

Because you chased away the darkness

Your light glowing from within

Erased all the shadows.

You make my world spin.

Now Your loving arms are around me,

Warmth pulling me in.

I’ve known you forever.

My soul’s twin.

Because you chased away the darkness

Sunlight all ...

The Will

Nothing truly belongs to you.

It came from this earth.

To share between everyone

Not belonging to just one.

Just because you think it’s yours,

Signed on the dotted line.

Life humbles us as we grow old,

And end up in the same place.

So much time, money, and energy,

Wasted on all those “stupid” things.

A lifetime to acquire

When it was always right in their face.

None of those things you ...

Growth

Leaves swaying softly

Rustling as they fall

Thunder in the distance

Rain starts to pour.

Lightning flashing

The wind howls

Branches twisting and tearing

Devastation all around.

But through the destruction

The foundation holds

The roots you put in

Still strong to grow....

My City On Fire

A tiny spark

A mesmerizing sight

As it takes hold

Catching everything on fire.

Red and orange twins dancing.

Fireworks and explosions.

Both beauty and destruction

A pyro’s obsession.

Too late for water

Fire truck’s too far away

The beast still grows

Devouring every in it’s way.

Nostrils burning

Choking for air.

Watching it turn black and crumble

Nothing but ashes everywhere.

Total des...

Me

Words bursting out

Creating musical notes all around me

Creativity flowing,

Painting the picture I want you to see.

Melodic rhymes

Inner turmoil revealed.

A bandaid for the pain

As the wounds are healed.

Some call it a hobby

Maybe another past time

A therapeutic outlet

A beautiful climb...

You Never Asked

You never asked

But I wanted to say.

You are the sunlight.

Chasing the darkness away.

You never asked

But I wanted to say

You are my rock

Holding me up every day.

You never asked

But I wanted to say

I’ll love you forever

No matter what comes our way!...

Quicksand

I feel so overwhelmed and weary!

I’m ready to give in.

Life shouldn’t be this difficult,

We shouldn’t be set up to win.

Instead I’m stuck in the mud,

Unable to move anywhere.

My body feels heavy and sluggish,

And I’m sinking without a prayer.

Falling deeper downwards.

Starting to get scared.

Hold up I thought I was screaming,

Guess I was silently gulping for air....

The First Snow

Tiny crystals from above

Cold and wet upon my nose

As white as a dove

As the world slows

Cold and wet upon my nose

Diamonds shimmering down.

As the world slows,

Coating the ground.

Diamonds shimmering down

A beautiful scene

Coating the ground

Pure and clean

A beautiful scene

From His hands.

Pure and clean.

A magical winter wonderland....

Is It Over Yet?

Sunday morning church

Your belly begins to growl

Uncomfortable dress clothes

The preacher on the prowl.

Family road trips

How long til we are there?

Mom she’s touching me!

Think I’m about to swear.

Days of chauffeuring

New driver’s license in hand

Your graduation from high school

Finding that perfect man.

Waiting on a baby

Who doesn’t know she’s overdue.

Sleepless nights

And gross baby spe...
