Let Go

Blazing heat coming up through the windows
Making the outside seems cold and dull.
Passion igniting ripping through the door
Crashing against the walls that contain it.

Let the calmness take over
Let the rush take over
Let the emotions take over
Let the fire take over

You can't hold this in any longer
The spirit has you now.
Another person is inside
You are helpless to control it.

Let the mind grow
Let the body grow
Let your heart grow
Let your sprit grow

Stop holding in what's inside
Like a acid burning on steel
A hole will appear where it resides
Go with the feeling.

Let it free
Let it be
Let it come
Let it go

Rhythm of My Soul

Something inside of me is crying out
Singing a song
Just for me
Is it my destiny?

Something inside me is just not right
Singing a song
Just for me
Is it a missing part of me?

Something inside of me is trying to run free
Singing a song
Just for me
Is it trying to tell me?

Something inside of me is jumping all about
Singing a song
Just for me
Is it trying to figure out?

Something inside of me is shouting real loud
Singing a song
Just for me
Is it yelling for me to see?

Something inside of me is weeping now
Singing a song
Just for me
Is it so sad for me?

Something inside of me is coming out
Singing a song
Just for me
It's the rhythm of my soul, did you hear?

The Love of a Father

Walking hand in hand across the park
Chasing squirrels and little sparrows.
We laugh and play under the bright sun.
Thinking about all the fun we will have today.

Can't wait until you hold me close
So I can feel the safeness of your arms.
Can't wait until that smile comes
And shows me your love.

Swinging me around
Making my head spin
Giggling and falling all over myself
"You so silly, daddy!"

Running away from the tickle man
"He's coming to get me."
Knowing full well I want to get caught
Mommy shaking her head with glee

Yawning as we play video games
Daddy gives that knowing look
"I think someone is sleepy"
Shaking me head in disagreement

"I'm not sleepy"
As another yawn sneaks pass
Soon cuddle up in daddy's warmth
And the Sandman is next to come

Taking me to my little dream world
Thinking of all that happen today
Looking down at me
Kissing me goodnight

But that is only a dream
A reality that never came to be
Something I always craved but never found
Was the fulfillment of my father's love.

Not What It Seems

What can I say about you?
I thought I knew you well
Unplugged my heart from my conscious
So I couldn't see
See what you really are
Extensions of my temple reach out to you
As cold smooth skin burns my mind
No longer are you like fresh baked bread
As my hands go down your frame
I can't imagine anything but the hard, lifeless
breath you breathe
Standing there slightly tilted like a straight,

lonely uphill road to my destruction
I should have known
You cup holds nothing for me
There is only the remnants of goey, staled coffee
Soaking the sides of your hollow shell

Misunderstandings

I've loved you once
I've loved you twice
You went away
My mom was right
You took away
All of the pain
Balled it up
And made it rain
What in me
Did you see
A fleeting kiss
A sexual fiend
A piggy bank
A toy to show
Something just to
Pass the time
It wasn't love
That's on your mind
Something unpure
Something unclean
Something that wasn't
Inside of me
What did I
See in you
A loving hand
A caring smile
A shoulder to cry
An active mouth
Someone just to
Spend my time
It was romance
That's on my mind
Something so pure
Something so clean
Something that was
Growing inside of me
Now you're gone
Who should care
Only my heart
Can really tell.

Mirror, Mirror

At first, I resisted it.
But, it pulled me toward it with its magnetism.
I tried so hard not to face the feelings.
Defying my own mirror image.
Running away from help.
Trying to be the best by myself.
It took longer than I thought
To truly face myself.
My mirror image smiles and realizes
I came up to its level.
Like a snowflake tumbling down from the sky,
I was searching for somewhere to go.
I had better odds winning the lottery than fooling myself.
The never-ending worry, the unquenchable anger,

and the numbing pain
Always stop me in my tracks.
Now I can slowly walk on those tracks
Away from the train coming
To end me.

Perfection

For so many years, I thought my life was perfect.
My mind was clouded by the material happiness

that I thought would satisfy me.
My eyes only saw the exterior,
but my soul I could not reach.
How could my life totally change because of one event?
Everything has become so complicated
and new because of one simple act.
I felt the suffering of someone who I barely knew.
The connection of souls rinsed me of my old conceptions
and left me anew.
This miracle has come from the Lord
and the miracle has come thru me.
Funny, how I thought my life was complete
until I learned how to love.
One simple act opened my eyes
to see the soul and the beauty up above.
