shoji
these silent white doors
are made, not for you and me
among other things
hold on to the knob—not there!
one more pop in the cold air
A being sewn with fine broken lace and without any eyes
Worn and torn, thus broken and weathered by years of many lies
Clings onto the forgotten but once noticed shelf just once more
Before the time comes to be shattered by the reality and the floor
I dare not speak of the past and the tunes played
But to mention the emotions that filled up this now empty room ,and warmed the hearts of many, once important but now meaningless
Comes now the cold and wicked air of the fallen and betrayed
She begs me now not to go back,
But I must travel the past once more
The confidence was there but now today I lack
because I fail to recognize when to shut the door
What was now alive is long gone, and dead
As we sing for another day, while someone else loses their head
The unspeakable and unmentionable becomes now our vision
We ignore and feign ignorance to proceed with our own decision
Greed is right behind my shoulders
I say that I must not become like the rest of the world
I try to kill the dark behind me but wait another day once more
I ripped the happiest moments from the book of memories
to hold it dearly, but it blocks my path today as huge boulders
As you try to lock the door
Something whispers faintly but ever so determined to your ear
"Do not dare forget, but do not be sore."
"The present dies, but a future born does not represent fear"
Somewhat askew, questions invade the conversation,
An icy cold pause is injected,
Pangs of affliction are sensed but unassumed,
Slowly, the doors close shut,
The muffled sounds of arrogance vibrate through the hall,
Without warning, footsteps, a man walks out,
A slamming door leaves a biting insult,
I don't even know them, and I wasn't even there,
So why do I care?
I heard a knock at the door today
But I didn't open up.
I just laid on the floor
And counted the tiles on the ceiling.

...........can all be, opened by you.
He never thought tho skilled in the art,
how anyone could understand.
And so he kept his wayward heart,
hidden in the palm of his hand.
Going back to a lonely bed,
not comforted by the clock.
The tormented life that he had led,
a mind that raced nonstop.
I have seen this; in my mind,
the tossing and turning each night.
Waiting for some open heart's sign,
with promise to feel the light.
So he trudged thru weary days,
struggling to breathe.
Not knowing peace, but confusing ways,
deciding not to believe.
She always dreamed; tho not out loud,
of that special kiss.
Every time she sang for crowds,
something was amiss.
The social life that she had known,
was coming to an end.
And every night she slept alone,
needing more than a friend.
I have watched this, I have prayed,
trying to help her believe.
As she struggled to just stay brave,
wearing her heart on her sleeve.
So, she worked faithfully,
to keep the wolf from the door.
Not having much security,
but she knew there had to be more.
One day she met this stranger,
his merriment sprinkled with glee.
But in his pretty eyes she saw danger,
and whispered,"what's happening to me?"
From here on out she couldn't turn aside,
not that she even wanted to,
her feelings could not be denied,
she had to think this through.
Meanwhile, his heart was enraptured;
though he never said a word.
Her cute little smile, his lost soul captured,
others thought this absurd.
She brought him chips, a coke, and seemed
to just always be there.
They felt like they had met in a dream,
they had so much to share.
So by and by through much duress,
their secret could keep, no longer.
Late one night, they had to confess,
together they were stronger.
And now their days are blue skies;
for sweet love they have found,
and she is lost inside blue eyes,
and forever he, in brown.
"Happy Anniversary"
to 2 people who HAVE FOUND the magic..
I LOVE YOU BOTH FOREVER...

Cobalt storms; not azure skies,
predict changing seasons.
Vague ambiance of lies,
waltz with fated reasons.
So tug upon the corners,
try to veil the smile.
Gather all ye mourners,
weep for her awhile.
He knows that she flows,
rivers channel deep.
But ocean's floor below,
caress his troubled sleep.
Golden pair;wounded dreams,
silently entreat.
Moments slide between the screams,
stranded in the heat.
She can't draw inside the lines,
of howling winds deranged.
And up ahead; ominous signs,
the highway looks so strange.
But he can hold her brave will;
in his hands so tenderly,
not even strong enough to still,
his mind she cannot free.
He is the lust to breathe and fly;
his wings stay unused,
within her voice; an angel's sigh,
but the melody, confused.
When questions birth insanity;
saline begs for more.
But he can only hear and see,
the vision behind the door.
And he will toss; and he will turn,
until his eyes are bright.
But in the loss of orgasmic burn,
the other sighs in the night.
He cannot wait; the world is open,
quiet, he leaves the bed.
Heart is faith; pulse is broken,
but his soul must be fed.
With trembling hands;he gasps to feel,
her curves and body light.
Silken strands and he must kneel;
to deliver here tonight.
He hears soft cries;for all too soon,
the other is in pain.
As his soul dies; behind the moon;
denying need again.
Have you ever had to choose;
one over the other?
And you knew that you would lose,
giving up one lover?
Life is a composition;
he strives to hear the source.
He must create; orchestrate,
passion is the the force.
When you read this piece of art;
you may think me wrong.
But I've heard the rhythm of this young man's heart,
and the music keeps him strong.
As he grows closer to his wife;
it's the stuff dreams are made of.
But from now til the end of of his life;
he's alive in guitar love..
