Floating Away On Endless Seas

I'm not in love but I want to be
Floating away on endless seas
Carried along by the wind and tide
My heart rejoicing as if listening to angels sing
Spring rains come and refresh the earth
My life full of joy to give to one love

The Mess I Am

My life is like a going out of business sale
Take all the shit from the back room and throw it indiscriminately on the shelves
I have mismanaged all that God has given me
Used my life for corrupt living and murder
I've taken the lives of too many innocence and defamed the name that died for my life
Father who am I that you are mindful of me?
My heart is black and no matter my intention I still let you down
My love is feeble and will never be enough
Try and try again, I will still fail you
God, how can you use an evil man like me?
I need you to go ahead of me because without you I'd surely fall

When Trying Isn't Good Enough

Your movement is stagnant and ill conceived
You run in circles screaming for change
Your life is a desire for men to change
But you're still caught up in the same rat race
A word is just noise when no ears are listening
You scream at blank faces, men who see hypocrisy in you
Oh what a lack of action you have created
Words hold no meaning when the the body isn't in motion
Don't bore the masses with pretty speech
We don't give a damn about opinions
We want to see actions that lead to change

Girl In the White Dress

J.D. Salinger once said “If a girl looks swell when she meets you, who gives a damn if she's late? Nobody.” This poem is inspired by this statement.


It's well past 7:15 and not a mention of where she is
Woman, O Woman have you no respect for the time of others
My beer has gone flat and the waiter is getting impatient
Our reservations are holding on for dear life
This my dear, is not the shining first impression I was hoping for
Oh to be on time is a virtue few men are lucky to find in a woman

There's a stirring in the front of the room, a hushed whisper of excitement
The sound of chairs scraping the floor as the room turns toward the quite commotion
And there you are!

I can't even stand to greet you as you come towards my table
Just sit in awe of your beauty as you approach
Trying to wipe the dumb look off my face I stand but the words are just not there
She has caught me off guard and my lack of recovery is more then obvious
Yet she smiles and sits, almost amused at my stunned response to her
Instantly my anger fades and her inattentiveness to the time no longer cares
She has walked off a movie screen like Ingrid Bergman in Casablanca
And I'm the lucky bastard that gets to be her Humphrey Bogart

Marching to Her Own Drum

I want to see you dance beneath a waterfall
Watch as the music in your mind invades your steps
Across the room you spin, lost in your own thoughts
Unaware that the world is watching every step you take

"Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus" were the words that hung on your lips
A symphony of ideas exploding through the cosmos of your existence
All the while you search and struggle for an expression that means something more
A love that epitomizes that which you know is possible
Oh to be young in hopes of finding true love
Before the heartache and cynicism cloud your thoughts
This world is cruel to the dreamers and poets
But stay strong my dear for the love you desire

Destruction in Love

Let's run as fast as we can and leave this city behind
We'll burn these bridges as we go dancing through the night
I want to riot with you, cause destruction with you
I want change the world and make it a better place, but only if you're coming with me
Love has fallen from the sky, with a smile that would kill and a heart set to destroy
This is something like I've never experienced before
So unassuming when we first met, now you burn with a passion, igniting all you come in contact with

As The Flames Rise Higher, We Seek Forgiveness

It's like we're all waiting on the Pope to save us
Crawling out of broken homes, looking for a sign that things are getting better
The world around us is going up in flames
Hope is word used by political figureheads that holds no meaning
We're looking for false saviors and placing the blame on those that disagree
Compromise is an idea that will weaken the moral fiber of our country
So fight and point fingers and accomplish nothing
While those who put their trust in us to save the world starve to death
Is there a light at the end of this tunnel because we're all stumbling around like the blind
Leaderless we wander, waiting for one to come along and set us straight
We have placed our faith in humans that have failed us
God forgive us for not looking to you in our greatest time of need
