The Wedding Poem

Just to be happy is all you need
not dreams of ambition or desire to succeed.

Just to be happy always caring and kind
with love in your heart and peace in your mind.

Just to be happy in a warm embrace
no need to be cool or win any race.

Just to be happy no grey skies above
the sun always shining down on your love.

Just to be happy your whole life through
Sharing true love, the way that you do.

Renga 8 "A Song Of Passion"

We must learn to sing
teach us of your ways of love
show me the rapture

see how the passion rises
shield me not from true loving

let us dance with joy
as we celebrate this life
painted with laughter

embrace innocence again
release the heart from malice

wide eyed innocence
blissful days of childishness
boys run after girls

embrace the cheerful laughter
remember days of your youth

in each beat of heart
listen to the melody
in high and low notes

Silence After The Storm

Black clouds loom over still,
Wind will settle down,
We've fought this war until we've broken down each others will.
Standing with my heart away,
An attempt to keep yours at bay,
I don't wanna be a victim anymore.

The storm has past,
quiet now at last,
War is over let's go our seperate ways.
We built it up, it took its toll,
And now all were left to do is suffer in the bitter resentment...
In the silence of the storm.

Realized or Not

If the rain were dreams to be found,
step out in them and let them surround.
Because without them I don't find my life worth living,
I need to make dreams reality and disprove the idea that they were misgiving.

I know that I need to do all that it takes,
But all isn't enough for you, given the stakes.
Perhaps we can put past this petty ignorance,
Live for each other, freed of our arrogance.
I dream and I dream to crush all my doubt,
Because deep down I know your heart is devout.

The Hero You Needed Me To Be

Living her life in regret of her mother,
Living in the embrace of the man who loved her.
Crying to yourself for reasons unknown,
Holding you close, never leaving you alone.
You always loved and trusted the beat of my heart,
My heart has been called to protect and do its part.

Here I am to be your knight,
Share with me what causes your plight.
When life has become hopeless Ill give it meaning,
With a prayer for your smile I hope to be seeing.

Point of View

I stood there with you
Looking out of your window
It was bright for me

Underneath...

I imagine a dense network of tunnels;        
malleable, hollow tubes narrowing        
then swelling - breathing a complex        
language beyond my comprehension.              
  
The synchrony is beautiful        
and I long to understand it.      
  

Tanka Acrostic Inspired By Recovery

Cocaine to my brain
Relief from fucking caring
A welcomed numbness
Craving for just one more hit
Knowing it was killing me

Senryu

The brook always speaks
It sounds like babble to ears
Doesn't speak to thee

Haiku

The wisdom of trees
Is the shadow of the sun
As yin is to yang
