The End?


If the world ended tomorrow
Where would you go tonight?
Where would you go to watch there be no more light?
Who would you want to hold?
Who would you want to be the last person?
Would you make a move?
Be bold?
What if the world didn’t end tomorrow?
It was a lie
There was no sorrow
Would you go to the same place as the last night?
Would you rethink that first move?
I know where I would go
Same as the first choice
Over to her place
I know where it is
Knock on the door, ask to come in
Say: “I heard it was the end of the world.
So, I wanted to be with my best friend”

Home


Home
The place you’re from?
Or the place you come?
When it’s time for rest
When you can be your best
The place you’re born
The nest

Home can be more than just a place
Could fill up all of outer space
Some say: home is when I’m with you
Others say there are two
Others say different
Say home is a state of mind
A place where we always find
Ourselves
Our friends
Our family

Some say home is Heaven
Of these, there are at least seven
All of which a place of delight
All of which beauty beyond sight
No fright
All bright
No fear
Just Love
So beautifully clear

I have a home I was born in
One chosen by Him
Or was it me?
In time we will see
I left that home
Went off
Decided I would become a man
It did not go as I had planned
Although I had a new home
Plenty of friends, plenty of fans
I kept asking myself
Who is this man?
Surely not a complete picture
Only a slice
Most people hardly looked twice
Although I felt a lacking
This home I knew would always have my backing

Decided I needed to check back in
Look myself in the mirror
Ask who I am
Not ready for how long it would take to understand
Went all the way down
All the way back up
Glimpsed the Master Plan
Remembered how much I liked to jam
Then took some time
Devised my own plan
Looked West
Planned my golden quest
Not in search of riches, homes, or bitches
Only searching
Listening
Wanted to hear the call clearly
Wanted to grow my love for all
Expand myself
Get focused on health

Settled in quietly
Got an apartment, had a job
Dressed like all the rest
No desire to claim I’m the best
Not trying to pass a test
A year went by
Remebered my wings I used to fly
Looked up at the beautiful blue sky
Feeling that Rocky Mountain High
The question I was asking
To answer it I was doing the tasking
Hardly left that place for several years
Left for two weeks once
Came home and shed tears
I was home
The one not given
The one of my own creation
But, just beginning, nowhere near completion
I had comforts, achievements, and friends
But a quite voice said it may be coming to an end

I spent two weeks in the place of my birth
My first home
Everyone was proud of how I had grown
I guess it had shown
When I got back out west
It was a time of distress
In my mind more than a second guess
A love welcomed me home
and asked: “Are you home?”
In her arms I said:
I’m here

Love Letters


I guess I forgot I saved them
Had them stashed away
Boxed up
Hidden from my memory
I always loved getting them
Even if I was not sure I could handle them
Scared I would loose them
Unsure I had already met you
Even though I knew you were special
Spoiled by that I got the chance to have you 
I was your first
You didn’t hesitate
We didn’t wait on our first date
I guess you knew
I should of realized the first time
I saw beauty in your eyes
To my heart I cannot disguise
You rubbed off on me
The love we had
Made me see
I would not let the first taste
Be our only chance
So I wrote a love letter to you in haste
I guess I made a good case
You called that night
We didn’t have a fight
You agreed to give me another shot
Just as I hoped you might
Through your loving eyes I was given sight

I wished those days would never end
Unfortunately in this world
Too young, we had to be friends
As years went by tried to let go
Met others 
Wanted my love to grow
No one else ever sent me love letters
No one else made my heart feel light as a feather
How could this be?
I thought as I got older it would be better
No one else seemed to see
Only my disguise, what they thought of me

I had heard you moved on
No longer did I want to write songs
Didn’t feel like I could smile
Stopped feeling free as a child
Unexpectedly 
I got news I didn’t even know me
But when I heard your voice
I came to instantly
Although you had moved on
Your love letters had set me free
Made me love with all my heart
infinitely
I found your love letters half a life later
Realized I could no longer be a hater
Every time I read them I get stronger
Realize I can wait longer
If I never met you
Oh God, what would I do?
I want to send you a love letter back today
Nothing fancy
Simply say
I love you
Quote our favorite passage
12 Corinthians
Verse 13
Felt this way since fifteen
Since it is the New World
I’ll put it on this blog
Without my name
Make it a game
Your name is not on it either
But I think you can hear me
Because I hear you speaking to me clearly
Your love I hold forever dearly
Without it I cannot write love letters today
There is just one thing to say
Je t’amie ma cheri, aujord’hui
Eternity

Over the Mountains

I stood in their shadows for years
Waiting until my mind got more clear
Spent time up there learning
For huge snowfalls I was yearning
This gave me a chance to practice
What it takes to pass this
The fall, the descent, the way down
When you’re on skis and the snow is deep
Upside down frown
As much as I could
I was already pretty good
Now even better
Which is why I am looking for different weather
Now I am ready to go over those mountains
Ready to see the ocean
Sit on the beach
Put my feet in the stand
Sit back
Enjoy a life grand
Not trying to be selfish
Actually I am relentless
To show what life really is
What the masters say from above
Love

Blue and Red

Blue and Red
Are dead
I’ve got a new color instead
One that is not one or the other
One that is between
A color for lovers
Our divisions no longer strong
Fading away each new day
It won’t be long
Soon it will be very easy to say
I love you
Not only today
Tomorrow the next day
Everyday
Please now get ready to play
I am ready, so ready
For this glorious day
If you have not figured out the new color yet
Look around people are wearing it
So you won’t forget
The one at the end of the rainbow
Not red
That color is dead, I just said
The other side is purple
The color of kings, queens
In fact all human beings
Let’s all put it on
So we can grown strong
Not for a battle, or a fight
No, so we can love
And celebrate all night

Third Date


Do you remember the night last year?
We went to the bar
Had a beer
Saw some famous people
I said they were here to meet you
You shrugged your shoulders said no way
I can’t even remember what you said
I was drowning in your beauty
You are such a cutie
The few times earlier
I heard you quite clear
A powerful intellect
A discerning eye, suspect
I was still determined to give it a try
Get you to shed your fear
Of my love
I just wanted you near
Wanted to whisper sweet nothings in your ear
Hold your naked body in my arms
Let you hear my heart song
We could of gone home and hit the bong
But I lured you into the alley
Told you to keep watch
Had to scribble down a symbol
We walked a little further
This time you gave direction
Put a heart right here
I took out the red marker, put it up for others inspection
I didn’t think that I wouldn’t see you for so long

I walked down that alley just the other day
The heart was still there
A moment of our brief affair
Although the heart was faded
I was not jaded
The spell you cast
Is the kind that is meant to last
I would not believe us was only past

Today was your birthday
I called and left a message                                                     
So you know
Although the heart in the alley was hardly red
You are alive and beautiful in my head
If you call me back
I would be happy to get back on track
Go back to the bar
We could drive in my car
I could care less
Hopefully again we can undress
I’m not afraid
We can learn so much from each other
And at the same time teach people how to be lovers

It Is Time

It is time
The alarm clock went off
Not this morning
It happened a while ago
To remind us important things to know
They’re not really complex
Not very tricky
If we take time to stop, listen, and unwind
We’ll notice that it seems quite clear
We don’t need war
We don’t need hate
We don’t need to look at each other
With anything other
Than love
Because that’s what makes the world go round
Not money
Not power
Not nuclear war
To end life for all the flowers
Love me
Love you
Love us
We are one
Not divided into all the groups
All the different religions
Millions and millions of troops
We don’t need soldiers of war
Soldiers of light we need many more
You can be one
We all can
Just reach out intertwine hands
Then we’re all Together
United
When we join together
The sun will rise and shine so bright
It may seem like the first time
A whole new world is opening up
It is not a time of fear
In fact it’s happening
Right now
It’s here
Open your heart
Open your eyes
Open your mind
Don’t be shy
Don’t stay inside
Come on out
Please let the light in you shine
Others will see and do the same
Shout and declare your name
Find yourself above
Connect with yourself
Feel your love
Spread and share the feelings to all others, they care
Let’s all do it
Plan to commit
Start right now
This minute
Really easy, just close your eyes
See you’re beautiful and fly

I'm Here


I’m not hear to cast judgments on people
I’m here to love people
Not to say what can and cannot be done
Just love
That is step one
I’ve asked those above
They let me live the life I do
To show you
Human life is about experience
Not pain, not shame, not a life sentence
Love
Love one another
Of course love your mother

Winds of change have been blowing a long time
Planets moving into trine
This earth is not mine
It’s not yours
It’s ours
Together is how we shine
Don’t close your eyes
Open wide
Look in your heart
What’s inside
