Yes, No, Come On

the moment unreal, so true untrue, smiling 
the answer incomplete, so long wrong, hiding
the eyes glistening, so real unreal, shining
the soul lost, so shredded wasted, whispering

in this moment it gives, it sings, it rhymes
your life, your time, your needs, they sing
they shout, cry out aloud, of this moment
Oh, this moment, make it true, make it shine

make this world look up and see you smile
make me adore you more, a fan of yours
try me, try her, try us all, see us care
and care some more, beautiful, we sing

aloud don't think, don't feel, don't see, just be
i am, you are, we are, lets laugh, lets dance
the tapping is getting to me, to you, together
together we dance and sing and dance all night

the moment unreal, so true untrue, smiling 
the answer incomplete, so long wrong, hiding
the eyes glistening, so real unreal, shining
the soul lost, so shredded warm, whispering

Tall

The smile of the strong, and the care of the week
The roar of the humble, and the love of the meek
The fish in the pond, and the horse in the field
The stars in your eyes, and the smell for the bees

Crazy little world jumping hoops in loops, worrying,
Scathing, breathing, undignified, staring in abyss
Life has some terms, we define their needs,
The world is in a hurry, but not me, not me

Shortened in lies, in guts all tied,
Holding a grudge, cursing too much
Venom dispensed like candy in a store
Meaning too little, destroying the whole

I am tall, tall to your small demands, tall to this world,
Tall to walk, to admire the things above
To stay still and smile, and care, and roar, and love
I am, you are, he is, so is she, we are, we will, stand tall

Fallen Warrior



The melancholy beastliness of the bustle in the modest morning chariot
Adoring a war stained hue, the chariots line up one behind the other
Warriors hoard up, fill in with purpose, some sure, many unsure
Yet the purpose stands strong, foreheads all warm with dreams, aspirations
A future they see, only time and these others, stand in between
Today's war is different, muscles to machines, swords to laptops and armor to suit
This journey is long and swayed, for a few mighty will pull through
Others will find solace in the crevices and nooks, hurt but content
I do not pray for those with strength, not muscles I talk of
Its the men and women who get crushed on the journey
The dreams that now only whisper at night, the hopes dead
No mercy, no light, for them I pray may you be strong and wise
This is not a battle but a war in sight, hold on, measure the blows
Take it deep inside, the light ain't too far, the dawn approaches
Hold on, be strong, the beast will soon fall with plight, and then,
You ride on that chariot, each day, the color will strike of life,
You are a survivor, a winner and a believer in life.
