a kiss blended in warm linen
of delicate Texas breeze
and star-skied lemonade
your eyes,
in them reside
eternal beauty

I'd take you to the moon
just to   show you the world.

Whistling and waiting by the phone,
I love it when you call.
When my phone yells out a ring
my heart pounds and almost stalls.

Down the road, my usual route
I see a car like yours.
My eyes get wide, teary eyed,
I ask, "Why can't that be hers?"

Out in public, I see your back
the feeling of love starts to burn.
Behind my mask, deep down inside
I know it's not you if they turn.

Back at home, all alone
my feelings cling to tears.
Hope is what I run on
since you've been dead for 20 years.

I cried out to God for answers
While waiting for his reply
I forgot to do some living
'Ere I fell down to die.

Beheld I no great majesty
In wonders he had wrought
But pitied self for circumstance
That time and life had brought

Forbid that I would ever look
Beyond my meager station
And witness those at deeper lows
and show appreciation.

Hence, the twilight of my life
Has come, and shadow's fallen.
At last, across the great divide
I hear His voice is callin'.

Our answers come in all due time
And so little time is given,
So while you wait you might as well
Go do a little living.

A bruised bird, full of blood hits hard rock
He leavest imprint in the life giving pursuit
In the way of sacrifice just no one can block
That glowing golden enchanting love route

Hunters are on the observation posts to see
How weak and strong animals quench thirst
That could be my friend either you or just me
To see and to follow in darkness the sunburst

Life is a strange hide and seek in life and death
With preordained destiny to complete the verdict
We are in cruel clutches of fate till the last breath
Without being in knowledge, perfect or imperfect

I want to do it in a soft way while she wants it in hard way
I believe in the softness of love while she considers it hard
I want to explore her like a pure beam of light, like light ray
While she considers me her partner I want to be her guard

Let me show her the blend of vice and virtue on love screen
Let me differentiate what is sheer love blooming with lust
Let me be the associate of my pure chaste innocent sweet teen
Let us follow real love code in a gust without breaking trust

My beloved you are too young to understand the philosophy
Experience will make you perfect in the line of love to just go
With a great observer you just try to go through and you to see
From where the moth carries strength to be on candle to glow

i stand as undefined
as the beginning
of my lines
no rules will tell me where
to end
where to start
or where ill begin
society will not label me
tell me when to be capitalized
when i can stand true
undefined by their lies
i will not shift
into who they want me to be
last time i checked
they didn't die for me
as my king
and i refuse to let
a broken society
try to mold and
shape me

A toy castle shines with brillance
When you're on the outside looking in
But if you'd take a closer look -
You'd see it's not
True within
While the outside shines with beauty
Fake porcelain and gold
Take a look!
Then you'd see
Fake beauty it beholds
