Sweet Scent of Gratitude
When I was a child
You weaned me
With the jealous care of your arms
And those bold beautiful blue skies
You gave me for my tender wings
Mother hen doesn't kill
But she chastizes
When she grasps you in her claws
You see it in her eyes - the love
And it's overflowing
With a feeling you cannot say
Or even print into time
For it's the rarest jewel of all
When she screamed
There was a pain
That simply ripped her apart
Though she knew, deep n her heart
That if her boy is to make it big
Then my tears would make me stronger
So she smiles through the pain
Now I made it big
And I'm on the way to give this flower
To my Mama as but a simple 'Thank you'
With the first dime I make for myself
I run across the street
And the boat I row across the river
To that old cottage on the hill
Where my little feet took their first steps
I feel that breeze and I do not know
If this is simply enough
But I know roses are her favorite
So I fly with my now mighty wings
As joy overwhelms my grateful heart
And yes I run to Mama's room
To see that she was asleep
A cold nose cannot smell a rossy rose
Nor a soulless eye see its beauty
I stare at her, pale
And my tears cannot flow
My heart is silent
My mind is blackened
My soul is broken
My spirit groans out loud
I should have given my roses
When the heart was warm
And the nose was fit
To smell the sweet scent of gratitude

I Still Care
I still care
Lord God knows I'm true
And these I wouldn't dare
To forget all that is you
Heaven help me that I do not lose myself
When I'm forced to discard your perfect face
And all that you own in thyself
For if I do, I forget to remember my youthful days
My clarity is with you, my friend
New company doesn't see my worth
And the void from you leads to despair
I hold on to the memories we share
If it means anything to you
And I hope you do know
That I still care

Lily Among Thorns
I took root in the ground
And time grew me to my youth
But among thorns was I found
A dark shield from the truth
O! I strained and i stretched
To see beyond the lifeless nights
The wretched rules were farfetched
From the depths of ominous sights
There, no ray of light was
That gloom was the soul's death
That here and there, did it toss
Me, a dying flower, bitter 's wreath
But O! A hand did I see
Outstretched and into the thick
To fight and deliver me to be
As free and certain as the tick
It came down from above and over
Was pierced and ah! It bled
In pain and agony until t'was over
After dew and sun, I was fed
O! A new standing I attained
Among the green in the fairest valley
All that i desire can be obtained
For the greatest hands keep me in that valley
I was the lily among the mounds of thorn
Shut out from the arms of the light
A lily for the good is now reborn
In a place and time, and light, ready to fight

Who I Ain't
I'm a ghost in a shell
Tryna break loose from this spell
I need someone so I can tell
But all these chains hold me back as well
I try to speak and yet I'm silenced
Bound to break me loose from this darkness
I call love to come for me
I cry Lord,o set me free
Is it this bitterness that is inside?
Or the envy I have for things that are already mine?
Only if I could be happy for them
If only i could love who I ain't

Wanting To Love
Have you not a moment to spare?
For the present time's so rare
And if time was to care
He would have frozen at my stare
For in a lifetime, the countless things I have got to see
Have no chance to compare themselves to thee
And if they were to be
Then heaven fall on me
But if you allow me a gentle kiss on your hand
Then mellow will I into sand
Or need will my hand a band
To hold this conquered heart in strand
To your name do ears throng
Speak ma belle and let me hear a song
Of sirens in the infinite ocean, deep and long
Is to dote and admire a wrong?
Give me your name that is
And maybe this could work if
You could only let me in
I am a stranger wanting to love

Fallen
A stroll down the pavements of life
And I lift my head to the clouds
Why art thou gloomy and grey?
And they said that the light of the sun has been taken from their eyes
A villainous time indeed for a great mountain has fallen
And many hearts, ripped out by the sullen shake
The great wind blew and the mountain had to bow
The mighty eagle flew and found no home
And 'tis a beautiful pain, o nature's law
That a man makes the run
From the cradle to the grave
O fickle time why entangle one I hold dearest?
For a father you stole; a brother their own
They say that experience is the best teacher
But I say that having you as a teacher was the best experience
Tell the angel of the dark
That he has stolen all the tea in China
My cold soul will ne'er know warmth;
I know he lived and he loved
A model that time cannot dispatch
For I knew him for a line in time
Tell those who came for their son
That souls have been tormented
And though as painful as it is
A bleeding heart must say, 'Adieu, rest in the perfect peace of Abraham's boss'm

Heart Ache
It starts with a gasp
I run and I fall
It is agonizing
I cry and i crawl
A great pain
And a sore anguish
It stabs to the core
It hurts and torments
Ah! it tortures
In too deep
But it is a burning fire
A delightful pleasure
The pleasure's for pain
An ache from the sane
O I know
That I thrust it upon myself
For I dose on it all day
It rips and tears the inside
Yet I run and lend a heart for it

The Man of Wicked Devices
The man of wicked devices
Is a king seated on a throne of filth
He hath all too many vices
Stripping his subjects of their penurious wealth
Living in all the pleasure and splendour the world provides
Yet he knows not that it is to his own demise
For the day when the Poet gives justice
He will surely be on the blacklist

Who Stand With You
I lifted my hands to the clouds
To reach the heights I aspire to be
But my very own shadow pulls me down
I hit the ground and bite the dust
I turned to look at myself in the mirror
To understand myself, to love myself
But my reflection turns away to show me his back
The glass is shattered and so is my soul
I stood up to be outspoken
And my skin peeled away from my bones
My heart refused to beat
When I dared to chase my dreams
They are all smiles for the streets
They are all scowls for the soul
They won't show it in their eyes
Neither will they say it
But when the spirit is stuck in quicksand
Arisen like the sun, is a chance to see the true
Who stand with you by the hand through the blasts of winter

Below The Waters
The great eagle flew
Aloft into the limitless sky
Into galaxies, space and time
Scoured thro' the lines and sands in time
And saw beauteous meteors, comets and stars
But a spy brings to descension
From the clouds above onto the earth
For something caught his eye
A grimy ground: a mossy mound
No rocky terrain or peak
Yet something more lies below the waters
It lingers unto hope
For all that's been given up
Patience can nurture the ground to excellence

The Fear of Losing Thee
I close my eyes and all I see
Is you and me
And all those memories
Of our beautiful infancy
When we were free
Like birds singing in a tree
Apart life has brought us to be
But if to time I could pay a fee
My all would I give to see
That what may we will be
Back to our youthful infancy
When you and me
were young and free
O I miss those times when we
Played among the heaps of leaves we'd see
I remember when I'd fall on thee
On the grass that was green
Like those eyes that cried on me
When they said that our fantasy
Was no reality
That we believed in a fallacy
Of me forever being with thee
Those eyes swallowed me
And I drowned in the sea
Of never ending remedies
To sadness that fear let me see
It was the fear of losing thee
Never should I have had that fear in me
For what I feared most has befallen upon me
What I feared most has killed me

Be Not Evanescent
Dare not compare her eyes to the moon
For an attempt is sure to be doom
Like a bird, she sings to a tune
That wakens the buds to a sweet nature's bloom
When heaven buries her amber treasure
Thou shall not fear for her skin juts many a shimmering light
Men do risk being blind for mere pleasure
And lies there no crime in a feeling so damn right
Fairer than the fairest she is
That the dark angel in tears envies
That a mortal creature holds beauty as this
For even a frozen heart thaws upon her kisses
Be not evanescent my dear
And for eternity be by my side right here
