Am I getting your attention yet

Inside its toasty and still my toes are cold
They must be connected to my heart
Outside its chilly and maybe its because my hearts exposed
If every heartbeat was to stop for just a second, would mine make it snow
Shower the fields of dreams with a salty wetness to help it grow
Or the fields may have already been planted to soak up everything it gets
SHUT UP, its my turn to hurt
Its my turn to look for comfort in the arms of another warm blooded heartless American
Taking the thorn wrapped brain and devouring it with what, salt?
Engulfing the righteousness of my self worth
Entangled in a web of unforgettable feelings for who or what
I look through the crack in the mirror and realize, its my hearts reflection

Today was the day.....

As they walk through the bone chilling wind they clinch each others hand tight
They share a walk in the clouds because they know it feels right
Not a ray of sunlight in sight
But their hearts shine with all their might
And today was the day they ended their flight
Arms spread like glorious wings sailing them through life
Memories rush out of all the things they have done as man and wife
From the time she was a little girl she dreamed of a man like him at her side
Times as a young boy he pictured his ring around that girl on the playground slide
And today was the day they ended their ride
Nothing but memories filled the cobweb filled halls of their home
Echoes of laughter, love and joy ensuring they would never be alone
A shelter that could protect everything they cherished
But as the blaze washed through it, they held each other tight as they perished
And today was the day they ended their...............

All is DONE with love

Cherish every day as if you were supposed to be mine
Wrap my heart around your hand every time
If today was the last time Id say goodbye again, say Hi
My heart would remember that last smile just so I wouldn't cry
She agrees that Ive broken the only heart that would never betray my own
And now we shall never be again, alone
Futures go on and time passes by
Times change and people leave without a chance to die
Hearts get filled with regret and love get filled with anger
But our souls never saw their clash as an intimate danger
Another drop of life fills the cup
And marching down the street they settle with a chin up
Pounding the ground with a heavy foot further away from their hearts jail
Then something stops him in his tracks.........her smell

Life is like a box of LIFE

Disappointed because she said she loves you
Let down because he said you were the one
Angry because today was the greatest day of your life
Confused because you cant decide if your happy
Pretend its not your life that makes you sad
Pretend its not your world that's collapsing before you
Pretend that you are the center of your world
Assure your dreams that this time it will be fun as you two talk
Assure your screams that they are all going to run out of breath
Assure your self that if life hands you a box of chocolates
Throw those motherfuckers out and create your own happiness

Creature of the Night

Thrill me with your soul
Kill me with your mind
Can I run away cowardly
Or shall I stay and embrace the escance
Pretend its time to embark on your future
And lay in a dead silent so everyone can hear you
Reinvent the thrill of just knowing
Knowing that you can control your destiny
Even if that Destiny is walking for money

Are you dreaming, REALLY

Ever pass someone on the street and wonder who they REALLY are?
Ever listen to a song and think, what were they REALLY thinking when they wrote this?
Ever watch a show and blurt out "I could have done that way better than them, REALLY"?
Do we really ever do all the things we set out to do?
Could we really ever ALL be astronauts?

No we don't REALLY know them but that's the reason we stare inconspicuously
Does it REALLY matter what its about, we will find a meaning that makes sense to us
Could you REALLY do better with that pint of ice cream in your hand..

Our will and imagination allow us to achieve the greatest things in the world
A humans will to make all their dreams come true is untested
So go ahead and pin up that last corner of the blanket and turn off those lights
Slide into that cardboard box you taped all those buttons to
Lay back with your legs on the side of the bed, and countdown
5, 4, 3, 2, 1......Away you go as a 7 year old dreamer
And remember, dreams can always come true.....if your willing to survive the nightmares!!!

Todays Memory

Do you remember your childhood?
Do you want to remember it?
Was it a time of laughter and joy?
Or was it a memory you tend to forget?
I remember racing my friend around the block barefoot
I remember sliding down "police hill" ON MY KNEES
I remember stuffing my dad's cigarette with a firework
I remember being yelled at to go to sleep because I was singing with the radio too loud
I remember "hunting" for crawdads in the creek down the street
I remember making out for the first time at the age of 12, she was 18
I remember taking my sister to the ER after falling of her bike and splitting her chin
I remember filling a small trash can with water so my sis and I could uhhh swim??
I remember the first thing I ever stole, and mom turning the car around so I could return it
I remember the things you ever told me about when there was nobody around
I remember the things we shouldn't remember but they make me a better man anyway
I remember........it all, even when it doesn't remember me!
