Eighteen Years

Eighteen years ago you came into my life,
And I promised to hold you tight,
But somewhere along the way, I lost sight,
And wondered into the night...

I know you must be missing me alright,
And needing me to hold you tight,
I hope you are old enough tonight,
To know that somethings in life just don't pan out right...

Today as you step into the light,
I know you got the strength to fight it right,
So take on the world tonight,
And make it yours alright...

Happy 18th Birthday Tess!

Is This Life or Something Else...

Sometimes I wonder,
So many things to ponder,
A day of good followed by bad,
Is this life or something else...

Days filled with moments,
Weeks followed by months,
Does bad have to follow good,
Is this life or something else...

So I sit back and think,
Think is this what it is,
Is the good worth the bad,
Is this life of something else...

My True Valentine

A love so strong

Nothing can go wrong

Together we be forever long

My True Valentine

Your patience is great

Your heart so ornate

You are so delicate

My True Valentine

My heart is overjoyed

My life is complete

To have you be mine

My True Valentine

Happy Valentines Day Loo...

A Fathers Love....

I held you for the first time

I heard your first cry

I heard your first sigh

I knew you will always be in my heart

It’s funny how life tore us apart

They say life is a craft

That people like me are daft

That I always keep you in my heart

Every morning is a strain

Like my life is a complete stain

Only some understand my pain

But I always keep you in my heart

Happy 10^th Birthday Tess

The Demon Within

Where he comes from,
I wonder everyday,
Hidden away,
He creeps up in disarray

Scares me he does,
His relentless form,
Destroying everyone,
That stands in his way

Why is he here,
Why does he appear,
I need to fight,
My Demon Today

I Am

Lost i am
Where i cannot be found
Lost i am
As i search around

Try i am
Where i cannot be profound
Try i am
As i keep looking around

Die i am
Where i cannot hear a sound

Die i am

As i can't hear a sound

Sitting By Myself

He was just sitting there

Sipping his chilled beer

Watching people here and there

Sitting by myself

He wondered how he got there

Draggin on his cigarette

Watching people here and there

Sitting by myself

He guessed he was meant to be there
Contemplating his life
Watching people here and there
Sitting by myself

Did I Wrong...

It's been nine years since i first held you

That day i promised i'd always hold you

Yet years have passed and i have not seen you

Did i wrong, was the world wrong

Things have changed for me

As they have changed for you

I've grown older and so have you

Did i wrong, was the world wrong

People say i have forgotten you

And sometimes i think i have too

But my promise to you will never die

Because everyday i silently cry

Did i wrong, Did the world wrong

Broken Promise

I lie here wondering

Wondering what it is all about

Wondering why it always is like this

Wondering why people break their promises

I sit here pondering

Pondering what each promise was

Pondering why they made such sayings

Pondering why people break their promises

I die here smoldering

Smoldering about a those promise made

Smoldering those who made them

Smoldering why people break their promises

I Am

Lost i am
Where i cannot be found
Lost i am
As i search around

Try i am
Where i cannot be profound
Try i am
As i keep looking around

Die i am
Where i cannot hear a sound

Die i am

As i burn to the ground

Why Do We?

Why do we feel
When all it does is heal
Why do we lean
When all it seems mean

Why do we care
When all it causes is despair
Why do we dream
When all it seems deem

Why do we dare
When all it does is disrepair
Why do we seem
When all it seems ream

I Wonder

Standing here,
Watching the world pass,
I wonder whether i am looking through tinted glass

I see them go by,
I've watched them enjoy,
I wonder whether i am made of darkened brass

I try harder,
I try to be better than the rest,
I wonder whether i am just another part of the mass

Nothing At All

Some people dance
Some people prance
Some people try hard
Some people do nothing at all

Some of us try
Some of us cry
Some of us play hard
Some of us do nothing at all

Some don't care
Some don't spare
Some don't wanna dare
Some people do nothing at all

Isle Story

Flutters sad,
Flutters faded,
Flutters in the wind,
Flutters amiss it's former glory

Once feared,
Once worshiped,
Once a great might,
Once held in great glory

Now tattered,
Now defaced,
Now hangs down,
And this our isle story

Sleeping With An Angel

I awake aroused,
I awake wanting more,
I awake craving,
Was i sleeping with an angel

I awake changed,
I awake needing more,
I awake different,
Was i sleeping with an angel

I awake renewed,
I awake having more,
I awake happy,
Was i sleeping with an angel

All They Can Do

Do people care,
Do they even dare,
When all they can do,
Is feel that it is a scare

Why do they try,
Why do they bother to cry,
When all they can do,
Is feel that it is all a snare

It is strange,
It is so deranged,
When all they can do,
Is feel that life is all unfair

Waking Up Today

I woke up today,
I woke up to a new day,
I woke up to see myself,
Waking up today

I got up today,
I got up to have a nice day,
I got up to see myself,
Waking up today

I planned for today,
I planned for it to work out today,
But i never planned to see myself,
Just waking up today

It Is Not True

You believe,
You trust,
Yet you know,
It is not true

You hope,
You lust,
Yet you know,
It is not true

You hold
You love,
Yet you know,
It is not true

I Feel

I feel strange,
I feel weird,
I feel lost
Like i'm stuck on fifth gear

I feel depressed,
I feel cross,
I feel dead
Like i'm not here

I feel spent,
I feel the need to vent,
I feel lent
Like a cent so dear

Passing By

Passing by,
Makes one want to cry,
Does no one ever try,
To make reach for the sky

Passing by,
Does not anyone wonder why,
Life is here just to die,
When there is only to try

Passing by,
Makes me watch and think why,
People live like rolling a die,
Only to simply be passing by
