Show me a man
That will really love me
And I will show you
My inner self
Show me a day
That isn’t truly beautiful
And I will show you
The meaning of ugliness
Show me a person
That claims to have no feelings
And I will show you
Their heart
Show me a reason
Why man and man
Cannot live as one
And I will purify this earth

Whatever happened
To the wonder years?
Of innocence?
Of young love?
Of things to cherish?
They slowly slipped away
Before my very eyes
I relished each new dream
As an old one died
There had been
So much to learn
In those tender years
Little did I know then
That they would be
So much more
Childhood friends
Young shy and secret love
And the loss of value
From my innocence
When suddenly
It was taken from me
What happened
To those wonder years?
Those I still treasured
From my yesterdays
Once the product
Of many pointless tears
Though the time has gone
The memory will still remain
Because it is the shadow
Of who I used to be
And want to be again

Reach out and touch me
Take me by the hand
Save me from drowning
And bring me safely back to land
It is shallow waters
Yet they seem so deep
It always seems that way, but
I could have saved myself
If only I had stood up

I hear so many people say
That life is so hard
Or life is so complicated
But it’s not true
Life is simple
In truth life is
Breathing in and out
Eating food to nurture us
And drinking water to sustain us
It’s what we choose to
Attain for our selves
It’s the materialistic gains
That we feel we must have
It’s how we choose
To see our neighbour
That’s what complicates life
That what’s makes it difficult…

Talk to me
Kiss me
Touch me
Kiss me
Feel me
Kiss me
Touch me
Talk to me
Kiss me
Undress me
Kiss me
Lay on me
Oh boy
Even sex is routine!

Sometimes I feel
So out of control
So lost in my thoughts
So uneasy in my soul
Words yet to be said
Always come to mind
That aim to unravel
To soothe and unwind
I am lost in the motion
Caught up with the
Ghosts from the past
Still showing their faces
Even when they’re outcasts
I stand on two feet
Firmly rooted to the ground
But my arms are
Outstretched
Still reaching for stars
My head is spinning
But here I still stand
Staying out of reach
Of the many wandering
And clutching hands
They’re still trying to pull me down
So that I cannot shine
Inept at saying kind words
They would rather just lie
Empty of encouragement
Completely void of love
How I kept my balance
Was literally by chance
For I have something in me
That cannot be moved
A simple, unbending
Faith in myself
And my simple truths

In order to sort
Anything in your life
You must first
Create the chaos!
