I'm not that strong

Why can't things just be simple,
Fixed with thread, string, and thimble?
Your name, your face, your feel, I'll never forget,
And I'll probably forever feel like shit.

But I can't be the reason your held back,
I can't guide you offtrack.
I'm so sorry I have failed you for so long,
I doubt I'll be able to stay away, I'm not that strong.

Encircling

When the pillow meets my head,
I envision a sillohette,
Meeting me halfway between,
My life and my dream.

So unfamiliar, reminds of a fable,
Something perculiar seems to enable
Me to reach out past,
My own grasp to you.

Some say I've gone deranged,
I'd agree if I hadn't changed,
But now the rational is everything but true,
This case has gone national to find you.

I run top speed trying to feel,
Taking heed, but always on my heel,
Only to fall face first to impress,
Look back and taste success.

From the beginning you were always here,
While I crusade in search of my dear,
Thinking somethings lost on me,
Because it's not where it's supposed to be.

When the start meets its end,
The part that greets will mend,
For every cusp only brings about a new route,
In faith and trust, the path will pave it's own way out.

Hopes of Something Better

I don't even know where to begin,
All I know is that I cannot ignore,
The mosaic thoughts waltzing in,
Right through my front door.

As you can imagine it isn't so easy for me,
With every last letter,
All I can do is try to let it free,
In hopes of something better.

A place in time and space,
To the heavens I long to know,
Before an angel fallen from grace,
You're where I'll start and where I'll go.

Can't forget to breathe,
But I almost do everyday;
Every once in a while I heave,
Taking in the air hoping you come my way.

You'll be gone for a minute but we can't forget,
Every dream of a single kiss or an account of bliss,
Can't be ruined by any disappointment or taken hit,
Because we both know we've been through worse than this.

From your hair to your eyes to your smile,
It's all just aesthetics for the eye,
But it's your mind, your heart that's worth the while,
With which I have fallen in love by.

Three years is a start,
But not close to a middle or end,
It won't be over til I have your heart,
As more than just a friend.

If Only

I dream of us together,
Today, tomorrow, forever,
If only I had the chance,
If only I met the circumstance.

To the heavens we'd ascend,
If we weren't only friends,
If only I had the choice,
If only I had a voice.

I would wait for you,
As long as I had to,
If only I could lay at your side,
If only I could be your joy and pride.

But we never even talk,
Let alone walk the walk,
If only you would give me the sign,
If only you could find the time.

But I know you'd rather give up on me,
Half-dead wasn't what I planned to be,
If only you wanted me like you used to,
If only I was loved by you.

Fly Like a Penguin (Parody of Fly Like an Eagle)

I keep on slippin', slippin', slippin'
Into my igloo
I keep on slippin', slippin', slippin'
Into my igloo

I want to fly like a penguin
Into the sea
Fly like a penguin
To find my wings won't carry me
I want to fly like a penguin
And you'll agree
Oh, Lord, cheated by evolution

Feed the chicks
With the fluid I excrete
Brood the children
Right between my feet
House our creatures
Livin' in the fleet
Oh, oh, there's a solution

I want to fly like a penguin
Into the sea
Fly like a penguin
To find my wings won't carry me
I want to fly like a penguin
And you'll see
We only dive due to evolution

I keep on slippin', slippin', slippin'
Into my igloo
I keep on slippin', slippin', slippin'
Into my igloo
I keep on slippin', slippin', slippin'
Into my igloo
I keep on slippin', slippin', slippin'
Into my igloo


I want to fly like a penguin
Into the sea
Fly like a penguin
To find my wings won't carry me
I want to fly like a penguin
And you'll see
We only dive due to evolution

I keep on slippin', slippin', slippin'
Into my igloo
I keep on slippin', slippin', slippin'
Into my igloo

Tied in Knots

Every now and then it feels like something wrong,
Laying out wondering why we don't belong,
Is it the way we talk or the way we dress,
That weighs us down with stress.

Whether the first or the latter,
It doesn't really matter,
For there are no misfits without a space,
They just try to fit in the wrong place.

Once upon a time we were apart,
Separated by state at the start,
But time cast us into the same play,
One fateful day.

Ever since I've played Romeo,
Planting roses in hopes they grow,
You looked like Juliet from first glance,
Here at this ball I ask you to dance.

I admit I get carried away,
So would anyone who felt this way,
I can't help but choke on my thoughts,
Because you have my heart tied in knots.

We'll Never Forget

All the time I end up here,
Looking for answers unclear,
To questions about what to do,
To bring my heart to you.

So I write you a poem,
In hopes that the tone,
Speaks to you past the surface,
That it brings a deeper purpose.

If it could get you to think,
This guy is pushing beyond the brink,
Placing these cocoons inside,
Hatching some butterflies.

Fluttering in your stomach,
Hopefully they come in thick,
To make you feel what I feel,
Show you that my love is real.

With the feeling I invested in stock,
So take that key and open my lock,
Within the chest I hope you find,
The heart you had in mind.

If it is you can safely rest,
I swear to you only the best,
In my arms you I'll keep,
While you can enjoy the sleep.

When a nightmare brings a warning,
Whatever lies beyond that morning,
Is a little later on,
With time all will be gone.

But you can't put a timer on what he have,
Because every smile tear and laugh,
Will never be stripped from our past,
And I promise that there will always be a new last.

And all the little things won't be forgot,
I'll tie our bouquet with a knot,
So as long as time will permit,
Our time together we'll never forget.

In the Cards

This isn't the first time nor is it the last,
This time it's not the same,
So many times I've been unable to surpass,
But I'm sure I can win this game.

You sat across from me,
Dealing out the cards;
I pick them up only to see,
All I have are hearts.

I see your diamonds in your eyes,
The red has filled our souls,
Right then and there I realize,
That it is you who has control;

Beating harder in my chest,
Hardly contained by my clothes,
Your allure has gotten my best,
It's what I wanted I suppose.

We lay down our cards and stand,
A flush on each side,
We have the same hand,
We get closer together tongue-tied.

I say "I'll never let you down,
If you never let me go",
Putting on your crown,
"I'll show you how I love you so.

When the days are cold,
And the air is ice,
I'll show you how I hold,
I hope my arms will suffice.

I'll lift you up high,
And show you the world,
I'm not perfect but I'll try,
If you will be my girl".

TRH

The hands have turned,
The times have changed;
Walls have burned,
Lives have been rearranged.

But even the mightiest of ships have sunk,
And the greatest towers have fallen;
While we may be stuck in a funk,
It won't stop me from calling.

For three years I've known you,
Almost as long I've been mesmorized,
Over time faith in you grew,
And I still can't believe my eyes.

To think you'd even give me the time of day,
Let alone be the best I could ever call my baby,
I'd go so far if I could get you to stay,
I'd give you reason to pick yes over maybe.

While you run away thinking you're doing a favor,
I won't give up on the girl who got me through,
For you're just the flavor I'd like to savor,
For the rest of my days, if only I could be with you.

Should I Care? (One in a Billion)

Here I am,
Just another civilian,
Here I stand,
I'm one in a billion.

Hear my voice,
Getting muffled in the crowd,
Hear my choice,
I can only speak so loud.

A war of opinions,
Consumes the air,
No one will listen,
So should I care?

I yell to be heard,
Yet it comes out quiet,
Every single word,
Gets lost in the riot.

I feel alone,
Drowning in the masses,
I cast the first stone,
Yet I can't see it without glasses.

A war of opinions,
Consumes the air,
No one will listen,
So should I care?

Because here I am,
Just another civilian,
Here I stand,
Am I just one in a billion?

Bunnies

Hip hop through the forest,
Unaware of what lies ahead,
Admist the breezy chorus,
Is lil bunny Winnifred.

Alongside mama and her suitor,
She scurries across the ground,
With a stroke of innocence on her fur,
She has no idea what surrounds.

While mama is off seeking clover,
The suitor deals with poor Winnifred,
A quick push than a bite and it's over,
Across her fur a stroke of red.

She runs away from him,
At least she tries,
She wonders why her fate's so grim,
Until mama returns she cries.

Hip hop in comes mama,
With plenty to feast,
She notices the red but thinks less drama,
Unknowing of the beast.

Winnie rushes to her side,
Burying her head in mama's fur,
A loud boom as the shell collides,
Leaving Winnie unsure.

"Mama!" she cried out,
"Where have you gone?
I can't go on without,
What I done wrong?"

But she did not answer her,
As Winnifred's coat became dark,
Off she ran from the suitor,
She took off like a spark.

She crashes into another bunny,
By the name of Lou,
He said "come closer honey,
You'll love the things I show you."

From afar Bear, another dark coated rabbit,
Having watched her in the past,
Caring about her life had been a habit,
He was hoping he could help her at last.

But Lou took her away,
Darkening her beyond recognition,
When Bear saw her to his mismay,
She lost the last of he ambition.

The innocence that he used to adore,
Had been swallowed by misfortune,
The world showed her abhor,
It blew it out of proportion.

Hip hop  through the meadow,
He chased her until they were vis a vis,
She looked straight at the fellow,
And said "Just look at me.

I'm a mess, my white has faded,
I don't have hope, I don't have trust,
I must be jaded,
Every drop of my innocence has oxidized to rust".

With a gleam in his eyes,
Bear used his nose to push up her chin,
He said "Stop the lies,
No need to beat yourself up again.

I don't care that your coat's not white,
Or that a lot of things have come and gone,
I just want to hold you tonight,
And show you what you've had along.

In your worn body I see beauty,
Amongst your eyes I still see a future,
I'll show you hope and I'll show you duty,
I'll prove that you can still become pure.

Because in my eyes I still see white,
Beyond your sorrows I know you can still make funnies,
Together, with a little encouragement you'll be alright,
And we can live like any other, because in the end we will be just two bunnies."

Hip hop across the ground,
Spring has come around to her,
Reborn her beauty one again resounds,
As the rain slowly washes away, the dark from her fur;

It glimmers, it shines,
Under the sunlight,
More vibrant than a diamond,
Is her fur, pearly and white.

Isn't so Far Away

The horizon isn't so far away,
It is getting closer every day;
What is yet to come isn't crystal clear,
However I'm prepared to commandeer.

I'll take the initiative so relax,
If come scrutiny I will face the facts;
Whatever they front I will overtake;
We cannot let our fear decide our fate.

So let's march in line and we'll persevere,
Our camaraderie and love they'll revere,
Never will we have felt so very free,
Our story will go down in history.

One day we will look back and remember,
How we refused to ever surrender;
Even though the world had us separate,
It was impossible to keep us split.

As the future isn't so far away,
It is getting closer every day;
It is in our hands to make it occur,
Of this verve I could never be more sure.

Certainty

It's early in the morning,
The world's asleep,
The shadows are warning,
Of the things the dark may keep.

I was taught to fear the unclear,
Certainty is my only friend,
I found it so hard to persevere,
When doubt made me pretend.

Lurking  in every crevice,
Is another hole in the premise,
I'm living in a place of pretense,
Without any confidence.

The only things I know about honesty,
Are all the lies that I believed,
Every book I read looking for some truth,
Only to find an answer lacking proof.

Now I question every little thing,
I can't tell my left from right,
Searching for a clue of what to bring,
To discover the difference between day and night.

When I look into your eyes I try to see,
As I'm trying to figure out how I feel,
How do I know what is happening to me,
For once in my life, I have found something real.

In Black and White

We are only two kids in seek of play,
Under our lids we try to find the way,
Walking the path in search of something new,
Doing the math to decide what to do.

Maybe our courses will be intertwined,
According to my sources you're on my mind,
Like a song on repeat this fixation
Strikes along my heart strings with vibration.

So don't turn back, just keep looking forward,
If you will relax I will steer us toward
A ridge where we can just live out our time,
Under a bridge or roof, your hand in mine.

It does not matter where we spend our day,
The social ladder won't keep us at bay,
If we're together all will be just grand,
No matter the weather we will still stand.

All these memories that we are making,
Will be more than enough to stop shaking,
Believe me when I say each and every word,
I know that sometimes it all sounds absurd.

I know sometimes I'm right sometimes I'm wrong,
In black and white maybe I'm too headstrong,
But I swear I seek just to show you love,
All I care is that you keep this feeling of.

Through the Good Ugly and Bad

There's something I've been meaning to say,
These lips don't move easy,
You're off asleep two hundred miles away,
But I wish you were here with me.

This is our story, not our fairy tale,
It's up to us to write the ending,
You can change it for me, we can prevail,
So our smiles can stop pretending.

I feel it fluttering in my stomach,
Emerging through my throat,
From my heart erupts this limerick,
Into these words I wrote:

I'll show you good times and I'll show you bad,
I'll write you rhymes, the best you've ever had,
I'll hold you tight yet gently like a dove,
Each and every night I'll show you more love.

I'm trying to add one and two,
I'll piece us together,
In love and faith we'll find glue,
So we can be forever.

You're perfect for me I swear it,
I'd give you the world but you deserve much more,
My heart is yours to free, if you will bear it,
I want you baby girl, as the only one I adore.

I feel it fluttering in my stomach,
Emerging through my throat,
From my heart erupts this limerick,
Into these words I wrote:

I'll show you good times and I'll show you bad,
I'll write you rhymes, the best you've ever had,
I'll hold you tight yet gently like a dove,
Each and every night I'll show you more love.

Even though we are far away,
The distance won't keep me at bay,
I swear that I will be the best you've ever had,
Through the good, ugly, and bad.
