Kneeling on the ground, i close my eyes some things in my life have left me with surprise i speak to God, as if speaking to a friend telling him things in my life i am trying to mend i pray for health and prosperity then i stumble upon a moment of clarity some people in this world need this prayer more than me and that this prayer could hold the key Gods blessing upon other people is what i pray after that there is nothing else left to say
The air screeches across my face sun light out of reach towering over all the forest is silent till the wind whispers and the trees play its song invisible to the heartbeats of the forest preparation becomes key the string cracks with out a breath and succes lays on the forest floor
Skiing down a black diamond slope winding through and leaping over moguls the snow bouncing up into my face after every change in direction short, swift turns hearing my iPod set the mood feeling the finish line is near As i stay low stopping at nothing i use my poles to navigate
I complete the natural obstacle course and head for the groomed part of my run The area has a sudden drop As I go down it, pulling my poles under my armpits feeling the wind race through the gaps in my ski gear as I lower to 1 ft. from the ground level I feel like I am finally at my final stride to the finish, Then i drop down the slope hovering over the Earth right above the powder having no concept of speed or existence.
They roll in quietly they lay waiting 'till the time is right
Bang bang bang the battle has begun good versus evil
A plane has crashed over the horizon the pilot hears the shifting of the enemy his heart pounding a miracle has happend thumping of a helicopters blades the pilot is saved the enemy curses
Creak pow boom they walked into a trap bits of flesh and cloths the enemy laughs
We hear the screams of the enemy as a bomb drops it is over we have prevailed
I don't know why i feel like this You make me so angry i just want to scream The craziest thing is we've been at this since 7th grade Sometimes i wish this was all a dream Lets go back to the days when everything was coacher
We were best friends, nothing more... I honestly, miss those days So innocently we used to play all day We don't do that anymore... When you decided to change things up, thats when we messed up
Being more than friends was cool at first We cant go back to how it was You're so stupid, and a liar Why me, why lie to me I thought you LOVED me I guess those were all lies too
You hang with your buddies way to much You never sacrificed any time for me Cant deal with this anymore Now i'm saying bye bye to all the pain I'm really done this time I promise
I've packed all my bags I'm headed out the door But then i see you for the last time The apple of my core....
big and small fun for all they float in the air to catch one is rare you follow behind the sun makes them shine bubbles are cool colorful ones rule when they pop you see them drop then you make some more
One Day a Houston Sports franchise will be back. I have hope that one day we will see our team parading through the city With confetti flying everywhere People screaming in loud cries of victory People running everywhere Players throwing their hands up in joy Coaches with a satisfied look on their face Everybody feeling victorious And finally feeling How glorious it is to win
sitting in the car windows rolled down wind blowing sounds i look around as i see the blur my thoughts stop music is so loud the mirror shakes from the sick bass
haven't seen you for a while now it's hard to understand how i used to see you every day and now we are apart in every way
i can't believe it has come to this it seems like we are all on different side of a cliff
i yearn for the past and the great times of when i saw you last a year seems like such a long time while stuck in this slime can't get to you until summer it is truly a bummer
but I hold on to the memories of last june and i know i will see you soon but once our reunion is through we will all be blue knowing that there will be yet another year before we can see each other's happy tears
The glittery, white snow melts away The crisp, cold air defrosts Plants shoot through the ground Flowers sprout once again The grass turns a lush green From its dull, wintry brown Warmer days with cool breezes ahead Happiness and new life Anxious glances to the windows Or at the clock Vivid visions of ski slopes or beaches Spring fever begins
The White walls suffocate her The silver metal tools tease her She sits, awaiting fate. An appointment lays a blanket of sorrow stricken straight through his heart as he witnessed, she cheated. Reality hazed over his teary eyes, he rages until... She returns to the white walls that suffocate her The silver metal tools that tease. She lays, awaiting fate. Reality cleared, he rushes and runs, he's too late. She lays, knowing fate. Her cancer, incurable.
I love you and the way that you smile the next time is see you wont be for a while
un till then i have my music to remember you by i am love sick but i still see you in the blue,blue sky
I know i am right where i belong but something feels so wrong i stand tall to get by no matter how i try to hide
did you know that i would play the part it wasn't very clear right from the start i would give up my whole life for you did you know that i could see right through did you know that i loved you
The whistle blew
ReplyDeleteThe game was over
We did what we had to do
We won thanks to the help of a four- leafed- clover
Thank you very much luck
You made us win the game
Our luck does not suck
We left the other team in shape
In to the locker room
With smiles on our faces
The other team team about to face there doom
All was good except they took all of our parking spaces

Kneeling on the ground, i close my eyes
ReplyDeletesome things in my life have left me with surprise
i speak to God, as if speaking to a friend
telling him things in my life i am trying to mend
i pray for health and prosperity
then i stumble upon a moment of clarity
some people in this world need this prayer more than me
and that this prayer could hold the key
Gods blessing upon other people is what i pray
after that there is nothing else left to say
The air screeches across my face
ReplyDeletesun light out of reach
towering over all
the forest is silent
till the wind whispers
and the trees play its song
invisible to the heartbeats of the forest
preparation becomes key
the string cracks with out a breath
and succes lays on the forest floor

Skiing down a black diamond slope
ReplyDeletewinding through and leaping over moguls
the snow bouncing up into my face
after every change in direction
short, swift turns
hearing my iPod set the mood
feeling the finish line is near
As i stay low stopping at nothing
i use my poles to navigate
I complete the natural obstacle course
and head for the groomed part of my run
The area has a sudden drop
As I go down it,
pulling my poles under my armpits
feeling the wind race through the gaps in my ski gear
as I lower to 1 ft. from the ground level
I feel like I am finally at my final stride to the finish,
Then i drop down the slope
hovering over the Earth
right above the powder
having no concept of speed or existence.
They roll in
ReplyDeletequietly they lay
waiting 'till the time is right
Bang bang bang
the battle has begun
good versus evil
A plane has crashed
over the horizon
the pilot hears the shifting of the enemy
his heart pounding
a miracle has happend
thumping of a helicopters blades
the pilot is saved
the enemy curses
Creak pow boom
they walked into a trap
bits of flesh and cloths
the enemy laughs
We hear the screams of the enemy
as a bomb drops
it is over we have prevailed

Gone?
ReplyDeleteI don't know why i feel like this
You make me so angry i just want to scream
The craziest thing is we've been at this since 7th grade
Sometimes i wish this was all a dream
Lets go back to the days when everything was coacher
We were best friends, nothing more...
I honestly, miss those days
So innocently we used to play all day
We don't do that anymore...
When you decided to change things up, thats when we messed up
Being more than friends was cool at first
We cant go back to how it was
You're so stupid, and a liar
Why me, why lie to me
I thought you LOVED me
I guess those were all lies too
You hang with your buddies way to much
You never sacrificed any time for me
Cant deal with this anymore
Now i'm saying bye bye to all the pain
I'm really done this time
I promise
I've packed all my bags
I'm headed out the door
But then i see you for the last time
The apple of my core....

Bubbles
ReplyDeletebig and small
fun for all
they float in the air
to catch one is rare
you follow behind
the sun makes them shine
bubbles are cool
colorful ones rule
when they pop
you see them drop
then you make some more

Rain
ReplyDeleterain rain go away
do we really mean what we say?
sometimes, so significant in life
and others, just another bad addition to our day
an antidepressant, a regimen to melancholy
something we think of so fondly
we go through day after day
wishing, wanting, needing rain
years without it, makes us nostalgic for the past
when it comes, it is best to make it last
the pattern of coming and going is a mystery
enjoy the presence of it before it becomes history

One Day a Houston Sports franchise will be back.
ReplyDeleteI have hope that one day we will see our team parading through the city
With confetti flying everywhere
People screaming in loud cries of victory
People running everywhere
Players throwing their hands up in joy
Coaches with a satisfied look on their face
Everybody feeling victorious
And finally feeling
How glorious it is to win
sitting in the car
ReplyDeletewindows rolled down
wind blowing sounds
i look around
as i see the blur
my thoughts stop
music is so loud
the mirror shakes
from the sick bass
im lost in the moment

haven't seen you for a while now
ReplyDeleteit's hard to understand how
i used to see you every day
and now we are apart in every way
i can't believe it has come to this
it seems like we are all on different side of a cliff
i yearn for the past
and the great times of when i saw you last
a year seems like such a long time
while stuck in this slime
can't get to you until summer
it is truly a bummer
but I hold on to the memories of last june

The glittery, white snow melts away
ReplyDeleteThe crisp, cold air defrosts
Plants shoot through the ground
Flowers sprout once again
The grass turns a lush green
From its dull, wintry brown
Warmer days with cool breezes ahead
Happiness and new life
Anxious glances to the windows
Or at the clock
Vivid visions of ski slopes or beaches
Spring fever begins

The White walls suffocate her
ReplyDeleteThe silver metal tools tease her
She sits, awaiting fate.
An appointment lays a blanket of sorrow
stricken straight through his heart
as he witnessed, she cheated.
Reality hazed over his teary eyes,
he rages until...
She returns to the white walls that suffocate her
The silver metal tools that tease.
She lays, awaiting fate.
Reality cleared, he rushes and runs,
he's too late.
She lays, knowing fate.
Her cancer, incurable.
