Night Thoughts

There was a time when I felt safe and sound.A time when I could sleep like a baby.
I use to think that all my dreams were just that..dreams.
I only now have realized they are not just that...
They have either happened, may happen or will happen.

There was a time when I thought I had all the answers;
I thought I had my life figured out.
I remember having future daydreams of what life would be
And dreams at night that felt whole and real.

I was innocent, naive and full of life.
I was forgiving, loving and understandable.
I don't feel I have changed that much...
But I'm definitely a lot more alert.

I don't long for the past or the need that I had for life.
I have a new need for life..love and happiness.
I have a higher standard for myself and what I need.
I will never love less due to the past
And I will never neglect my heart.

I am just breathing different a little now...
I am smiling and breathing. 
And I love my life!

Taste of Life

I'm tearing the walls down...

I'm painting the sky a purple cream.

I'm shoving my way through...

I'm moving myself on through the scene.

So come and get me!

I'm laying the ground down...

I'll keep on walking through the stares.

I'm designing my own life..

I'm my own judge and I don't care.

You can say what you want to say

Try to make me feel a certain way

But I'm not falling for the games

No foolin me, I am not ashamed. 

I'm busting the windows down...

Gonna let the wind blow through my hair.

I'm gonna swim straight to Jamaica

And I will smile all the way there.

I'm tearing the walls down...

I'm painting the sky a purple cream.

I'm shoving my way through...

Until all you see is me. 

So come and get me!

Breezing By

The wind in my hair and the calm in my head
The ride of a lifetime thrilling my mind
The turn of the engine and the accelerating pull...
One place to spend the rest of my life.

The open road--the thrill of speed
Going as fast as you can go ---flying high.
Racing around cars; feeling the freedom.
Seeing the beauty of nature as you breeze by.

Its enough to lose your mind in the moment
Tearing down all that went wrong in one day
And filling you with life you never thought
you were lacking.

Daring, bold, exciting
A sensual feeling throughout your body;
You feel it and it takes you far beyond your mind
You long for it never to end.

Like a Hurricane

She came over him like a whirl wind
knocking his head side to side;
like a hurricane on a once quiet night.

He tried to withstand her, ignore her, but no...
She slammed against his body effortlessly;
there was no avoiding this.

He wanted to be apart of that wind.
She took him over like a possession,
And he was gonna need a priest to fix this.

He stumbled over himself and fell on his back.
She radiated over him with strength he could not control.
He immersed himself into the wind in which was her.

She left him suddenly leaving a little wreckage behind.
It was no matter to him for the sun had come out
And he was left with a satisfaction one can only desire.

New Found Life

I'm feelin heaven

Do you feel what I mean?

I'm feelin spicy

I can feel it all through me.

I am not stopping this time

I'm gonna live it all up until I die.

I'm gonna stretch myself around

Until I fall unto the ground--laughing!

Just try to stop me...

Your messing with fire.

I'm taking off the mask

Just to see who I am--see what I desire.

Your gonna drown in my smile

I will be laughing all the while

I will be dancing in the rain

While you soak up all my pain.

Just watch me....

I am a beauty and blessing in a dress

I am happiness, just put me to the test.

I am an amazing woman that you can't handle.

I am the flame to a sensual candle.

I am an angel--with a secret devil passion. 

I am safety when you feel like your crashin.

I'm not stoppin...I'm gonna dance until I die.

You're not dreamin---I am soarin through the sky.

You don't get to hurt me no more.

I am forever in control!

Just watch me!

Mystic Beauty

The leaves fell, the petals dropped;
The ground turned, the world stopped.
But her heart kept beating.

The gentle stream that flowed down
to a river once lost yet found.
But her mind was focused.

The steps seemed so far away;
And though she tried, she couldn't stay.
Her heart was fleeing.

Her soul stretched the mountainside
While she broke down and began to cry;
She fell over and no one noticed.

Fix Nothing

There is a pill they say:
Lay it on your tongue and swallow it down.
There is a drink they say:
Don't sip it, drink it.
There is a shot they say,
They say.....

There is always something to fix what's "wrong".
Always a little something to feel a little better.

They say..
Who says?
Those who know everything...
Those who know what's best.?

Suck it up...or drink it down..
I need noone to tell me how to fix me.
I'm not broken, I'm not fixable. There is nothing to fix.

They say there is a pill;
I say, then take it.
They say there is a drink:
I say, then drink it.
They say there is a certain way...
I say, then go.
