Not today

In my darkest days when things felt grim

I saw you standing as light grew dim

In my darkest days when I tried to figure

If it was good to pull the trigger

I couldn’t understand my life

I didn’t know why life was strife

I ached and grinded through the pain

Are my thoughts so totally vain

Can I still look and see a dream

of a world that’s bright and clean

and a river to wash away

all the poisons of today

Darkness creeps over me

I know my fellow man should be free

Not banged up in some useless hole

A prison for the dying soul

I live in hope but not in greed that my

Soul will soon be free

That the dark will go away

And kill the madness gone astray

Who is there to trust but you

For so many have not a clue

Of the plan to curb our lust and to turn us to

a speck of dust

I walked alone but where I went I

Knew that each time I spent

It would take me

Close to the truth the one that said

Don’t take my roof

Each time we doubt and turn away

And shut out the light of the day

Each time we neglect to hear

Brings more and more fear

I thought the fear had gone away

But it haunts my dreams today

The dreams of hope that I once enjoyed 

now make me mad, cross annoyed

FEELINGS DASHED

Ask me a date and I do not know

Ask me a time and I will show

Feel in your heart what’s right and do it

Trust your feelings and begin to intuit

Don't jump in with two left feet because

You can't walk both sides of the street

Give me a shoulder on which to cry but

Don't pretend and please don't lie

Give me a hug but don't hold to tight

I might still want you in the middle of the night

Send me a message but don’t let me think

that love is definitely on the brink

Counting your blessings is a positive act

But behaviour is always worth of tact

Lack of communication is akin to hurt

People pretend and people flirt

If you know where you are going

There’s no -where to hide

The truth is always on your side

Life is a mystery of ups and downs

Say what you mean if you feel a clown

Even if you wear your heart on your sleeve

It is better to say and feel yourself grieve

Because what may be lost was potentially good

The other person sadly misunderstood

Twin Souls Unmasked

Unmask me I am a cat

I’d like to purr as simple as that

Unmask me I am a clown

I make jokes that cause people

to frown

Unmask me and see my truth

The one that’s been blowing my

Newly made roof

The knowing the seeing the feeling

So real

The part of me that took so long to heal

Unmask me and see me bare

Take your fingers through my hair

Taste me, lie with me and know

That I care

Stay with me and hold me in the night air

Listen to my heart beat and experience our truth

Unmask me

Unmask me

I am no longer aloof

Know me and grow with me like souls entwined

Share with me, care with me

And see what we find.
