Sadness Shaped by Me

She’s trapped in her own world, Confined in her own thoughts. Her banner of hope is unfurled, But yet inside she’s lost. She’s afraid to look ahead, Can’t stop glancing back. She has no hate or anger, Yet love is what she lacks. Try, though she can’t deny it, It’s too obvious to see, Her world is... Sign in to see full entry.

Deep Within

From deep within my soul the music comes, sweet and clear; rising to the surface as you speak my name and I feel your love. The melody is one I used to know, long ago, before my heart was wounded by his words; I never thought I'd hear the strains again. You have reached deep into my heart and...

A Soldier Doesn't Cry

A soldier does not cry in the day A soldier doesn't cry during a fight. While the battle rages The soldier carries on. Hand maneuvering his hot weapon. Comrades falling before and behind The blood of his friends --his brothers-- sweat on his face Mud takes away his identity. Just a man in green... Sign in to see full entry.

Together

There are times when life is hard When luck seems to have run out Days go by, blemished and marred There's so much to worry about Despair and fear surface inside They settle in, unwelcome guests You fight and struggle, run and hide Daily life is a constant test Darkness here, gathering 'round...

True Love

True love is a song that sings forever, if it is found in ones life. But how does one know they’ve found it, if their heart won’t tell them so? How does someone know they’re in love, in true love not false? How can they tell if they can’t tell at all? True love is a song that plays forever, once... Sign in to see full entry.

Til Death Do We Part

As music plays, and church bells ring, of happiness and joy we will sing. Sorrow is lost, Dreams fade away, Now is the begining of a whole new day. Clouds will part, and tears will shine, Nothing can make me pass this by. A kiss goodnight, is all you'll need, to chase away your dreams of me. A veil... Sign in to see full entry.

Pools of Pain

Spread across the blade, I see my image fade, The deliverance of my pain Is now here, There is no more to gain, I have run out of shame, I Can not handle the blame That follows me near, Pools of pain Flow out like rain, Created by my bleeding heart, This agony shines Like a bleeding sunrise As I...

My Heart

My heart I give freely with no demands Hold it tenderly, for it is now in your hands Fragile it is, yet strong when need be A gift given to you, extended by me Now that you hold it and I’ve given you the key, Promise you will handle it as gently as you do me. For I shall never hurt you, never let... Sign in to see full entry.

She is all

She walks with grace not recongnized by all But when I see her, my heart's most joyful waters fall She is all I need to feel the world has blessed me Everything has changed since Her She is all that I want to know She will help my spirit to thrive and grow She is all I need to feel the world has...

Mr. President

Mr. President What do you think Of those sworn to obey you When their confidence fades And their journals betray you? If you signed on the line could you do what they do? (Would you lay down your life for somebody like you?) Chorus: Blood-stained glass and consequences Are all that’s left to stare... Sign in to see full entry.
