Mirror of Friendship

I wish I could make you see,

the person you really are, not the on you pretend to be,

Hidden in shadows, cast in dark light,

Giving up now only starts the fight.

Drown in sorrow, consumed by pain,

living a lie is a life without gain,

arise from the ashes,

two entity clashes,

reveal what is true,

the real person in you.

Suppress the misery,

suppress the pain,

throughout life they have no gain,

A step behind,

a hidden door,

the truth reversed spills onto the floor,

Don't breathe, don't speak,

You'll fall in tow,

the thoughts in mind about to blow,

A sudden panic,

an icy chill,

The life I see becomes unreal,

A broken mirror,

Looking through translucent eyes,

the thoughts I have will never die.

Looking through the past

Doomed are those who dwell in the past,

there's not hope for changing what's come to pass,

but hope to learn and change the future,

following the path of history will lead you to catastrophe,

break the barriers, deviate from history,

create a new future, a better world,

for all, any and those in between,

the world is full of opportunities,

remember the past, experience the present and get excited for the future,

beauty is caught in the most unexpected moments.

seconds tick by wasting precious time,

moments never redeemed,

people never seen or met,

places never traveled discovered.

my life unfulfilled,

my heart unbidden,

broken in shards,

waiting to be put back together.

Moments flash before my eyes,

smile spreads across my face,

and for a sliver of daylight,

I feel what love is like.

A friend never giving up,

seeing what I can't chose to see,

playing the part destiny predicted,

loving everything I am.

I love you.

God

I love being attacked for being gay, in the eyes of some it means I'm worthless, less than human or worse.

I'm a child of God, there's no picking and choosing, there's no condemning by man. God will judge me, not for my loving another person, not for embracing the love he gave me, but he'll judge me for my character and decisions. I think that I'm a good person, I believe my choices are the right ones, or ones that I wouldn't be attacked for. I'm not a statistic, stereotype, or a scripture nor do I enjoy being treated like one. I will throw whatever you have back in your face. I'm not going to sit back and let you walk all over me for no good reason. You have no right to talk in the place of God, or use a corrupted, evil book to condemn me. Stay out of my life, I don't impose on yours. I'm human variance, a creation of God and a good person. What would cause you to hate me so much or be so ignorant? God doesn't teach that and only he is allowed to judge me.

A moment

The glass falls from the table,

seconds before you grab it,

seconds before the piercing sound of shattering,

and the moment your heart stops.

You turn and glance,

seeing a lifetime in the seconds,

it's destroyed, ruined and wasted,

lost in the abyss of oblivion.

Disappointed and alone,

the heart weeps, and picks up its pieces,

holding on to whatever it can,

to lift itself off the ground.

When you're lost, alone, and hurt,

there's always someone that loves you,

you may not know them,

may not have met them.

But they're watching, waiting and looking,

for you to come along,

brighten their day,

and reveal the light and beauty God put into this world.

We're meant to feel pain, and anger,

but we're meant to know there's more to life than that,

that love really can conquer all,

and that there's always a reason for everything.

You fall, you get up,

cry, and then smile,

stand up for those who can't,

because life, love, and true happiness is worth fighting for.

Waiting for Mr. Right

Moments in time washing into the ocean,

breaking the seals of love's devotion,

reconsider breaking down,

turning life into a frown,

but darkest days can show the light,

hidden, concealed, by Mr. Right,

the dream is tricky, slick and fast,

the key to your future, is in your past,

I rhyme a story in deepest thought,

for decades from now this story forgot,

I wish, I dream, I cease to stand,

for those who deserve rights in the promise land,

Love is love, the heart doth sing,

All I ask, is you be my everything.
