Wanderers call

Entering a town without knowing a soul, can always go hit or go miss.
So God led me here, right to this group, familiar as a long forgotten kiss.

Opening your doors to let me be a part, showing me the love that you spread.
Seeing all these...

The rose grows old.

The rose I have given to you is old and wilted. The bed of crimson and joy you lie in conceals dark secrets that threaten to ruin your love. You must avoid the bed and slam the door shut, then you won't have to look up. Let the fireflies light the...

Ain't Strong Enough

Life seems to be gripping on a slippery rope,
with just fingertips I pray and hope,
that my last breath doesn't happen if I fall,
so I roar loudly to anyone who can hear my call,
because I am not ready to go, and neither is my soul,
for...

Cherishable

You might be something different to them,
but to me, you are a rare, flawless gem,
just talking to you quinces my heart's hunger, thirst,
these words I speak are real, they aren't rehearsed.

I'll make you smile when you have a bad day,

There is no Dictionary to love

The answers to love usually come in a barrage of half truths and the rest mystery. Finding someone that makes you feel deep down things that wake and confuse you make you feel secure and loosely...

See Ya

I'm dropping everything and decided to move on,
because there is nothing left for me, everything is gone,
for I have searched the mystery roads up and down,
and still I can't find a single thing that's around,
therefor, I looked to the left and...

Lost at Sea

Stuck in the center of a storm, I'm at stern side so close to shore,
the waves pound hard against my boat, tearing it up even more,
wondering when my boat goes under, if I can swim above the strong moving tide,
just like the endless lost I've...

I do have a name too.

I have a name too. 

I do not come with a label or a word. I am not the derogatory term you heard. I'm a who the same as you. Do you have a name? Well, I do too. I, too, have a mind, heart, and personality. I could be a him or her, a he or she....

Phony

Nothing but fake is finally here,
I knew she was going to appear,
and by the look on her face,
her destination was always this place,
CUZ she showed up with an evil smirk,
what a worthless, careless, POS jerk,
who belongs in her own coffin...

Single Parent

Single parents are the strongest I know,
dealing with everything the other has to throw,
and still don't slow down, stop or even quit,
that thought ain't in their head, not even a little bit,
because little eyes are on them, so they must be...
