Sparks of Hope

Sparks of hope,
Doomed to die.
In precarious hearts,
Unable to fly.

Gone are days,
When feelings were shared.
Gone are days,
When souls were prepared.

Feel the pain,
Feel the sorrow,
But sparks of hope,
Will come tomorrow.

Wondering

Staring outside at the rain that’s falling,
Hitting the ground, like the earth is calling.
I stare at the gray sky, melancholy and dim,
Wondering if something is still within.
Wondering if things have changed,
Or if things are just misarranged.
Wondering if things can be undone,
If things like this happen to everyone.
Beyond the clouds lies a bright sun,
But the question is, what must be done?

Bonding

A smile, a gaze, a look in the eye,
A trance, a daze, my mind’s in the sky.
A pulse, a beat, my heart cannot lie.
A rush, a jolt, this cannot pass by.

A nod, a shake, my problems have gone.
A hope, a wanting, my sadness withdrawn.
A feeling, an emotion, life does go on.
A sight, a vision, you’re bringing the dawn.

A bond, a wish, you’re all that I see.
A gift, a cherish, I hope you agree.
A goal, a dream, can I call it we?
A wonder, a miracle, that my heart’s carefree.

Thinking of You

I’m lying here this morning,
Lying alone in my bed.
And I’ve noticed that every day,
I can’t get you out of my head.

My thoughts can’t stop turning to you.
You have been burned into my heart.
I am feeling the wonderful emotion,
Of love from that came right from the start.

I see you in my hopes and dreams,
But I cannot see you here.
When I’m awake and thinking of you,
Your voice is what I long to hear.

I long to see you, I long to touch you,
I long to hold you every day.
I wish that I could be with you,
Be just with you, somehow, someway.

I feel like you’re locked behind glass,
Where I can see you, but cannot do,
Anything to break that prison,
That makes me feel as trapped as you.

If wait I must, then wait I shall,
For to sadness, I shan’t give in.
For both in this life and in the next,
My longing for you shall never thin.

Teardrops

I see the teardrops on your face,
Even though they haven’t left your eyes.
I know you’re feeling out of place,
Just hear my plea, just hear my cries.

I’m asking you to talk to me,
Because that’s what friends are for.
All your pain is obvious to me,
So let me help you soothe your sores.

I’ll stand in the snow, wait in the rain,
I’ll wait for you for days on end.
You may think that I’m insane,
But all I want is to be your friend.

Stop pretending, stop denying,
The fact that you are depressed.
Stop depending, stop relying,
On all the things that make you stressed.

If you ignore all I’ve said,
You will just worsen your case.
Of all the many things I dread,
The worst are the teardrops on your face.

Loner

People dislike what they don't understand.
People dislike what they do not see.
People just hate what they can't comprehend,
A perfect example is loner like me.

I live with my family, I live with my friends,
They are people who money can't buy.
All together, they add up to three,
And their names are me, myself, and I.

I traded my heart for a life of my own.
A life that is not clouded by men.
I wanted a life that is only about me,
So I don't have to feel my pain again.

I traded my heart for a life without women,
For their fake love for me is doomed to fail.
They may strike a loving blow at me,
But my loner mind shall always prevail.

My soul is cleansed with isolation,
It is safe from the poison of vibrance,
Which always leads to my depression,
Which is why I live alone in silence.

Crossroads

Which way shall I go?
Should I go left? Right? Straight?
I’m sure you know what I’m asking.
I’m sure you can relate.

I’ve reached crossroads in my life.
This decision will alter my trail.
Which path will lead to success?
Which paths are of no avail?

I started this road with certainty,
With feelings of pleasure and pride.
Now, however, I’m not so sure,
Because people around me have lied.

I do not know the truth,
Of life from all these lies.
Now I’m very hesitant,
About which path here wise.

I surely can’t go straight,
Because I know I need to turn.
I cannot keep going like this,
When I still have much to learn.

I know my life can be better,
Better than the shambles it’s in.
But which way should I go?
My patience is wearing thin.

Left or right, I do not care
Because either way I’ll get,
Problems that I’ll have to fix,
Problems that I won’t forget.

But I’ll also get times,
Which will make me smile.
Times that I’ll remember,
And cherish all the while.

So at these crossroads I am standing,
And left or right, I must choose.
Either which way, my mind is set
Life is a battle I will not lose. .

Life In the Fast Lane

The first of many to come:

Come on in, I’ve got seats to fill.
The road of life is no place to chill.
Hell’s locked in the trunk, no need to worry.
With all the speed, our boredom’s gone blurry.

Hit the gas, forget the brakes,
Life’s a world with few stakes.
Live your life, and make it hearty.
Get with friends and throw a party!

You live only once, so go get moving.
Live your life, adrenaline approving.
Stop the whining, stop the moaning,
Life isn’t meant for tears and groaning.

Come with me to the Fast Lane,
A place where life’s not a chain.
Don’t let life hold you back,
Let your heart stay on track.

Those low gears are for beginners.
So are all those romantic dinners.
You do need control, but you sure need speed,
In order for your life to succeed.
