A Circle of Events
A sunflower lies lazily in the baking sun
Bumblebees buzz and dance with mindless fun
Clouds circle but drift over head, like white smoke
Dry it is so the shadows provide us our cloak
Every individual piece of nature is moving
Daisies lazily move with the breeze; swaying
Animals play in the grass tackling and tumbling
In the near distance a dark cloud is grumbling
As the sun blazes in our summer dazes
Being free in this spirit; grooving phases
II.
Tearing tree tops on the spot; we've been caught
Lights out, silence is about, writing is the thought
Where is the world when all goes pitch black?
Doin' dirty deeds, watchin' the earth bleed, no lookin' back
A shadow gradually takes my concentration
Demons feed my inner desires with temptation
Is it fate or just hate that the devil creates?
Lack of the guidance of light, what people have to desecrate
Consumed by the darkest horns of the moon
Never thought I'd go to the other side so soon
III.
Beating my cranium off the wall until I fall
Torn in the long haul, I'm confused as I crawl
Where the fuck is this God we call out to?
Where is the one I should be calling my boo?
Left alone an' empty with no answers to know of
Raising my hands to the skies I ask what is above
Was raised to care and show a woman love
Now I'm thinking I'll always just be a scrub
Instead of that one knight in shining armor
I'll be resting in my grave because of my karma
IV.
Dreams are fantasies that just seem surreal
It's the emotions we hide that are for real
The built up frustration and pure thoughts that roam
Ambiguous untold thoughts that dwell in our dome
To caress and say was blessed to share the unknown
My fists are clenched but I know I have grown
Other wise I'd be dead from snortin' pills
Kicking it with homies and partying for shills
Now I'm making my path to my own destiny
So tell me now if your ready for the journey
Poem - I Told You So
Breath taking is the beauty I marvel at
For it alone holds memories I'll die with
Even in the shadows its light will shine
Raging in my mind like an animal caged
Some call it hope while I call it deranged
No soul, no power, no hope to go on
I contemplate if life's an illusion like God
Feeling shattered like a broken mirror
I wonder if I'll end up just another killer
These urges force me to clenched fists
I repeat to myself, I never wanted any of this
Tightening my lips so I will not speak
The mind is dark and your opinion bleak
Do I carry on, paving another's path
Or do I let my dreams see the stars they cast
Slaving to find a balance that will explain
Cursing as I take the Lords name in vain
So young but am I, but by the minute older
The feeling of your presences escapes my shoulder
It's but a longing now to imagine what if
Like the last note hit on a guitar solo riff
Only should reality be bent and time shifted
Could my heart resign this ache and be lifted
It was I who loved and her that knew not
With tension surfacing like a bullet waiting to be shot
The glass ceiling came crashing down on us
Afterward, critics would say what's the fuss
Have the rug ripped out from under your feet
Be robbed of a feeling too strong yet so deep
And then suffer a sour side of this slice of life
I do not bestow or wish this, but ask will you pass the knife
Cause when the wrist is cut as so, the blood will flow
Then you will remember that I told you all so
