So many people using a gun
So many lashings by a tongue
Greed, a ton
The hatred is never done
Everything and everyone as to be outdone
It's just not fun
So many people shunned
The Bible redone
So many killings by someone's son
The life of the devil has begun
Love, there is none
This world
Becoming unfurled, uncurled
Staying in madness and in a twirl
The things in this world would make anyone hurl
What happened to God fearing
The good is disappearing
And everything is interfering
The bad being so domineering
No one cheering
The ugliness in people always appearing
This world is dying
And we just keep on denying and defying
While ignoring it's crying
Everyone keeps on lying
This world
Needs so much prayer
Do you think anyone would dare
or care
I hope they are aware
This is all our affair
Can't you see the despair

God is returning to this world beware

This World

This thing inside of me
Destroying me
Weakening me
Sickening me
I hate to say, it's getting the best of me
Fighting back at me
Whipping me
Winning over me
I hate to say, it's getting the best of me
Eating at me
Worrying me  
Taking years from me  
I hate to say, it's  getting the best of me
Changing me
On the outside of me
On the inside of me
I hate to say, it's getting the best of me
So many needles stuck in me
Taking so much blood from me
So many Doctor's seeing me
I hate to say, it's getting the best of me
The hospital a second home for me
Nurses nursing me
It's getting to be to much for me
It's killing me

But

I refuse to let it get the best of me

I have to ask

Why me ?????

This thing inside of me!

My ray of sun
You took me to a place that made me not want to run
My wall came down and I did not put up a fight
Now only good thoughts fill my night
Don't mind taking a risk of being seen in the light
Can feel your embrace
In all and every place
How could something so great be a disgrace
Can never be displaced
It has to be embraced
This love no more dangerous
More like contagious
Just something in your voice
Something in your choice
Something in your smile
That makes me want to take this the full mile
The people looking in are the only ones that need to be in denial
It will never be disallowed
To the highest cloud
In the largest crowd
They will hear me proclaim the love that I have
I will be very loud
They will know that I am proud
About this love that I will always allow

MY LOVE

This is my vow!

How can we believe
What anyone says
With all our secrets and all our  lies
That through the years should have opened our eyes
That have made so many worlds collide
Reality
No one is ever who they seem
The secrets and lies and all in between
Something wrong with the fairytales and the dreams
It seems we have gone to extremes
Trying to think of some kind of scheme
To hide all the secrets and lies
All the time hidden and denied
Where none of the rules applies
Always defied none that we can ever abide by
It seems
How can we feel there is nothing to be redeemed
By keeping secrets and telling lies
Up until the time, it is time for us to die
Then we look up into the skies
To ask the Lord to forgive
All our secrets
and
All our lies
Hoping there will not be any denies

Honesty:
The quality of being honest!

Some say it's what is on the inside
Not what people see on the outside

But it's not the inside
It's what people see on the outside

It's not the inside
That attracts from the outside

It is the outside that attracts
To the inside

The outside
A cover for the inside

The inside
Never compares to the outside

The outside
Never seen as the inside

The inside
Is more then the outside

The outside
Hides the inside

The inside
Hardly seen on the outside

The inside
You should show from the outside

The outside self should be as well the inside self  
The inside self should be as well the outside self

Inside and outside just be your-self.

I GET SICK TO MY STOMACH
AND WEAK IN MY KNEES
ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT IS MY NEED TO PLEASE
AT SO MANY LEVELS AND DIFFERENT DEGREES
JUST LIKE THE BIRDS AND THE BEES

WHEN I SEE YOU

IT'S NOTHING NEW
CAN'T YOU SEE THE WAY I LOOK AT YOU
THE WAY I SMILE AT YOU
THE WAY I TALK TO YOU
AND WHEN YOU LEAVE
I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL THE NEXT TIME I SEE YOU

WHEN YOU SEE ME

DO YOU SEE ME
AS I SEE YOU
CAN YOU GIVE ME A CLUE
SO I WILL KNOW RATHER IT IS TRUE
THAT YOU ADMIRE ME
AS I DO YOU
DO I MAKE YOU WEAK IN THE KNEES
DO YOU FEEL THAT NEED THAT YOU WANT TO PLEASE
AT SO MANY LEVELS AND DIFFERENT DEGREES
YOU KNOW LIKE THE BIRDS AND THE BEES

WE

THERE IS NO NEED TO HIDE
WHAT I SEE IN YOU
AND WHAT YOU SEE IN ME
WHEN WE ARE AROUND EACH OTHER
ALL WE DO IS STUTTER
AND SMILE AT EACH OTHER
AND NEVER  MENTION A WORD OF ANYTHING OTHER
WHY CAN'T WE JUST BE HONEST WITH ONE ANOTHER
AND TAKE IT TO SO MANY LEVELS AND DIFFERENT DEGREES
JUST LIKE THE BIRDS AND THE BEES

WHEN I SEE YOU
I HOPE YOU KNEW I WAS TALKING ABOUT YOU
AND YOU WILL GIVE ME A CLUE

WILL YOU  ?

Met
Sirens went off in my head
My brain had bled
After I had you in bed
I knew I just should have fled
But no, I stayed,  instead

We started this and I/we lived so far away
Missing you
All I can do Is lay around and fill lonely
You know that way
You feel when the one you love is so far away
And never around

If I don't see you soon and again
So afraid that there could be other men
You know those guys who look like Barbie's Ken
That have nothing on their mind but to get you back to their den

The phone calls are not enough
I have to feel your touch
I need it after that first night
And you were such a delight
You know all you have to do ask
I will catch the next flight

What are we waiting for
All we need to do is agree
There is no reason we should be an absentee

After months the phone calls stopped
I am going out of my mind
How could I have been so blind

No one loved me I thought like you
I guess every love you pay some dues
I can't stand the pain of not being with you
There is no more reason
With all this treason

I just shut my eyes
There will never be life or love
for me anymore.......

Do me a favor
Will you remember the night that we

MET
!!
