of a man recently waken

im gonna let the love pour forth
i will pick up the torch
& lead the way
into a brighter day

i kept my fear close to heart
so let this be a new start
of a man recently waken
his heart no more shaken

follow me if you dare
follow me if you care
to let the darkness go
& let the light show

i give it all to you

the same gift
that creates a rift
to set this poet apart
creates a lonely heart

the joy you take
comes from what i make
i give it all to you
and keep myself so blue

fear not gentle reader
this way couldnt be easier
like slowly going to sleep
no more horrors to keep

for them i do live

another promise disregarded
a heart left unguarded
no happiness to be found
anywhere around

but in the childrens eyes
i am a true prize
for them i do live
for them i do give

and all the witches
who could not see the riches
that this poet does tender
have revealed souls so slender

too much pain

its never enough
no matter how we say it
its just too tough
to believe it one whit

that another wants us
to hold and love us
too much pain
when only memory does remain

of the past we must let go
nothing there but mist
so do not throw
away such beautiful bliss
