The past crawls through my skin and into my heart
Its now that I thought would be my new start
Instead the memories from which I should learn
They confuse my mind, which way do I turn?
I'm just as guilty as the one who's not
I'm as much to blame as the teacher that taught
I'm no better then the person whos gone
I'm the one who's bathed in wrong
So dont pretend that I should walk tall
Dont tell me when not to fall
Quit preaching to me that I am strong,
because it is you,my friend, who is wrong
The woman who I often saw
Seemed to be one with no flaw
Red hair carried by the wind
Her green eyes said shed never sinned
Her waist was slim, her legs were long
She walked downtown like she belonged
No fear was noted in her stride
No anxiety was felt, she stood with pride
The confidence the charisma ran over on the street
Now, thats someone Id like to meet
One thing everyday, is always there
Its the girl on the bench, with long brown hair
She sits satisfied with herself, so content
Like by God himself she was sent
Her curious brown eyes absorbing the scene
Not a bone in her body could possibly be
My love's merge
If you were presented the one time choice
If you had one chance to use your voice
To tell the world what makes you tick
To tell the gods what you would pick
If this choice was it, the final decision...
How carefully would you make the incision?
If feeling TRUE happiness was offered to you
Would you snatch it up or think it through?
These questions have no right answer
Below each choice hides a cancer
I've learned with all good comes sacrifice
For everything worthy there is a price
But if you could finally stop and rest
Stop searching and wondering--failing life's test
Would you in return trade your soul to debt?
I'd given up on love until your eyes met mine
I was content with my nothing, I was fine
A solid foundation of reality I had set
There was no pain, no room for regret.
But the fire I felt ignite with your kiss
Was that of certainty, no one should miss
There grew inside me a feeling so strong
There was no way that this could be wrong
It was the trust-The trust I'd always feared
Blind faith in love had suddenly appeared
My nightmares of pain and sorrow died
Replaced by courage that couldnt be denied
This had to be the key that unlocked the door
This had to be what I had been looking for
It filled more then the emptiness of my mind
The Magical Sphere
They say somewhere there sits a sphere
Some say it's far, some claim it's near.
The location & reason for it's exsistence
Is only found by those with persistence
For those who choose to show strength and face
For those who survive the vouage to this place,
It's said there's a key to unlock the door
That holds the answers they've been looking for
Most will search throughout their entire years
For the knowledge and truth inside this sphere
Simple solution is the illusion that's chased
But confusion instead takes it's place
A powerful "book of fate", the reasons why
They say it's all there, they spread these lie
The Irony in Intentions
When I built our life inside of me
When I painted a vision for all to see
The design I used left no room for doubt
I constructed no doors, no way out
Much like drawing a maze with no turns
I headed one direction with no concerns
This masterpiece I built was perfect to me
But perfect was the crack, the flaw-to-be
Unprepared, our structure was soon hit
Now in it's pile, in it's irony I sit
No one knows where their road will end
My first mistake was trying to pretend
Convinced I'd found the map of fate
A false power I let my mind create
My intentions to build a life of gold
Turned quickly to greed covered
The heat on my heels, the smoke all around
I'm searching for you, but you can not be found
The fire, I can feel it, it roars out of control
I reach out to feel you, I need your soul
Behind the flames, I finally see you there
Empty and cold, you just stand and stare
I'm trying hard to remember how this came
How it turned from warmth to hot flame
The ending to our story can not be this
Don't you remember the force in our kiss?
The power we had is still deep in me
Somehow someway you should feel my plea
Even through all the smoke it's in your eyes
So why not reach out and hear my cries
The fl
My words are but ink that roll across the page
following behind them, is a story of rage
of power in belief and control in doubt
Of complete confusion in what life's about.
The irony that waits, lurking in the hidden
It's a trap sin sets- it shows you forbidden
It is purpose we all persevere to find,
Only to get lost in the wonders of our own minds
The journey we start is lit up with dreams,
but the further you go, the darker it seems...
Perception is a map by which we follow
Once partnered with pride, our souls get swallowed
I know this path, hopes final battle with fate,
I've walked it's road, and seen what I can create
It
Another morning spent at my table looking out
Just watching nothing, pondering what life's about
Everyday since I lost him I have sat right here
But today is the first time I haven't shed a tear.
Outside this window I have watched the seasons
And much like life, they change with out reasons
I sit in silence, but inside I am screaming
I want this to be unreal, I want to be dreaming
Belief in the format of life, and that in the end, its right
Has been something I held close, for which I fight
But there is no logical answer, or reason that I can find
This has left me lost, lost somewhere in my mind
There used to be a fire that burne
Our War
My words are just ink that roll across this page,
But following behind them is a story of rage,
A tale of the war that is fought with deception
Finally ending in simple power in perception
The smoke clears enough for me to see
He's lying on the ground, looking up at me
So much fear, pain and doubt in his eyes
After these last few battles it's no surprise.
Silence, nothing, the noise has faded out
But this is something I know all about
I have been here many times before
They will regather, and return with more
My troops are weak and way too tired
Most will not see the last shot fired
Terror and exhaustion fill my mind
I

So dont pretend that I should walk tall

Quit preaching to me that I am strong,
because it is you,my friend, who is wrong
I can still feel my heart pounding fast,
As I thought tonight might be my last.
In the living room I could feel his beating,
I could hear him swing and my moms desperate pleading.
I tried to stay quiet, tried to stay low,
If he came for me where was I to go?
My mind went blank as mom screamed "Run!"
I thought for sure that my world was done.
I jumped out the window and stumbled through my yard,
Never in my whole life had I run this hard.
In the distance I could hear my mom's screams,
What would become of all my dreams?
Dodging through the trailers with no time to think
Wishing they had never taken that drink.
As I came around th

Take from me…
The burden of pain
For I can carry it no longer
Take from me…
This heavy blame
And give it to the stronger
Take from me…
Those horrible words
that so carelessly people used
Take from me…
All this emptiness
For my entire souls been bruised
Take from me…
All that hasn't been taken
For nothings left but hurt

All that's been forsaken
And my dreams that've turned to dirt

It is amazing how time can change absolutley everything into the oppisite of what it was. I am astonished by the events that have taken place since I last wrote....ask me Ill tell otherwise...its too long.
I have been away for quite some time now...Sorry I didn't have internet for while. I'll quickly fill you in. Donny is almost 9 months and is already standing by himself, he has five teeth, is trying to walk and is always crawling. I am still well, still working as a life insurance agent (good thing or I might be a starving poet) I will be going through diviations and getting more favorites! My favorite part of this web site is all of your diviations. so send them my way!
I have come to the end of my pregnancy! Donald Michael Long was born Friday September 8,2006. He was 7 pounds 6 ounces and 21 inches long. He is so sweet and we are both in good health! I will be posting a picture soon so you will be able to see him in a little bit!
