Rhythm and Rhyme
Excuse my complete lack of posting, but I really have not had the time. I am enrolled in an short term (eight week) English composition class that requires a shit ton of writing so the last thing I want to do is write some more in the litte free time I have. Therefore, I have been spending those sacred free minutes playing my guitar and writing a few songs and poems. And it just so happens that this post is solely for the purpose of sharing those songs and poems (Actually, it wasn’t coincidence at all). Thus, I give you my most recent works:
Awake (poem)
Sun rays, awake
Shake away sleep
Focus, concentrate
Where am I?
What have I done?
Who am I with?
Where have I gone?
I am no where.
I am no one.
I am lonely.
And nothing is done.
I am alone.
I am young.

I Care (song)
I’m sorry I’m late
I’m sorry you had to wait
I’m sorry I’m not there
But I do care
/
I’m sorry I don’t play
I’m sorry I seem away
I’m sorry I don’t share
But I do care
/
I’m sorry I don’t know
I’m sorry I had to go
I’m sorry it’s not fair
But I do care

Desire (poem)
Let me swim in your ocean
Dance on your velvet cloud
And sway to the motions
Of your sweet gentle sounds
/
I wanna smell your life
Breathe inside your future
Swiftly, steal you tonight
And feel you warm and pure
/
I cry with each movement
Desire every smile
My passion can’t be bent
Lust can’t accept denial
/
Don’t you recall that night
When we were introduced
You were a devine sight
And my mind, you seduced
/
You seduced every nerve
So much more to reveal
So much more I deserve
So much more I must feel

A Friend Will Appear (song)
You try to tell me where you been
What you have seen
But I see the phantom tears
And hear the silent screams
It’s all in your eyes, my dear
All the bottled pain and fear
Trust me, come near
A friend will appear
/
Indeed, the times, they been tough
And the worn road is rough
Don’t worry, honey, I see it clear
That you have had enough
It’s all in your eyes, my dear
All the bottled paon and fear
Trust me, come near
A friend will appear
/
No, I don’t know what life you’ve led
But I now you look near dead
So come on inside here
And I’ll provide a place for your head
It’s all in your eyes, my dear
All the bottled pain and fear
Trust me, come near
A friend will appear

One Last Dream (poem)
I’ve been living in my brain too long
That will all change come midnight
The moon will sing the poet’s song
And my soul will again take flight
It is my only true escape
The one thing men cannot rape
/
Oh, this wretched, vile, society
How they make me curse, moan, and groan
They’ll be happy when I’m on my knees
All I wish is to be alone
So take me moon, I must go
Lift me with your transclucent glow
/
The air’s matted in a filmy glaze
A nightingale whistles a calm tune
And I dance and rhyme in the haze
As I gaze at the gentle moon
At last, I was able to feel
I shivered from the anxious chill
/
The wind floats and tickles my skin
Sun flowers reach the horizon
Its like no place I’ve ever been
I couldn’t help it, I had to run
Something happened inside of me
And I ran through the fields and trees
/
I fell in a field of posies
Stars danced joyfully in the sky
I began to feel very drowsy
Slowly, I silenced my tired eyes
“Thank you, moon,” my mouth softly spoke
And I never again awoke
