Thank you!


------------------------------------






Sometimes it feels like there is more I should say
but I shut my mouth, and keep the words at bay
do you even know, you gave my heart a touch
you're such a great person, and you've done so much
you've lifted my spirits, and made me feel strong
that things will be right, after they have gone wrong
the talks that we've had, and the feelings you've shown
have made me feel like, I'm not quiet all alone
you give me support, and hand out kind words
I want you to know, that your advice has been heard
the laughs and the jokes, we share through the day
and it always seems like, there's much more to say
I feel I can trust you, with any information
As we push each other on, to our lives' destination
On this journey we're on, if the seas should get rough
It's cool to know you'll be there, to help me be tough
and so we move forward, we're doing just fine
and I can't wait to see you, as we cross the finish line


Tell him when l come up to him and ask to play the record, l'm gonna say: ''Voulez-vous jouer ce disque?''
'Voulez-vous, will you kiss my dick?'
Will you play my record? One-track mind!

Candlelight



------------------------------------------



I strike the match, use candlelight
now I know, it will be tonight
I see you there, I'll take this chance
as I watch, our shadows dance.
I'll take the steps, the waters I'll test
I place my hands, upon your chest
I let my fingers move along
the radio plays song after song
I look to your eyes, there's excitement there
I can feel the energy in the air
you grab me hard, playing tough
my skin gets scratched by your facial "scruff"
I hear your heart beat from within
I love the feel of your skin on my skin
your breath comes fast, your kisses sweet
the room is hot from our body heat
Your arms around me, feel so strong
I feel this is where I belong
there is no place I'd rather be
I let myself go, and give you me
On my body, your lips, your teeth, your hand
tonight is going just as we planned
Your passion, your heat, makes me feel new
I'm glad I gave my all to you.

Body Betrayal.

----------------------------------------

We've heard all the sayings
you should treat your body
like it's a temple
If you are good to it
it will be good to you

I treated my body like trash
and didn't care about it
and finally realized one day
that I needed to fix this
when I ran out of energy dancing
at the wedding of some friends

The next day, changes started
Heathy food in, and energy out
being rewarded with losses
shrinking weight and waist
and suddenly to my surprise
energy that I never had before

So imagine my surprise
when I woke up to find out
I had been betrayed by my body
even though I'm doing as I should
and I have yet
to reach the goals that I've set

feeling like a bowl of cereal
as my body "snaps" "crackles" and "pops"
and walking around with doubt
as my knee feels better now
but I know it's a bomb
ready to blow at any time

Keeping myself stocked with pain killers
just in case
and a knee brace in my bedroom
and in my workout bag
so I always have one, if needed
I don't want to be caught by surprise

I started this lifestyle change
because I wanted to dance
and with each step I take
I hear my knee crack and I wonder
If I'll be able to dance
when my own wedding day comes.

Going gets rough, sometimes that's true
Lasts as long as you want it to
Always open hearted is how you should be
Don't close heart or mind, please let yourself see
You have something special, somehthing others wish for
Outside looking in, those people are poor
Useless is the anger, that can rip you apart
Work to maintain a space in each other's heart
Overcame the difference, after a talk
Relaxed once again, as friends you will walk
Keep the bonds intact, it's worth the fight
Excellant that you made what was wrong, right
Doubted each other, perhaps for a while
I knew you'd fix it, grudges aren't your style
Together as friends, the bond, it will grow
Others wil see, your friendship does show
Undone, this friendship will not become
Try to spread it around, give everyone some
Fantasticly handled by you two men
Rather than acting like spoiled children
I am feeling happy that this you achieved
Ended it, and a deep sigh I heaved
No more estrangement, it came to an end
Destroying a friendship, I can't comprehend
So hold on to what you have, a trustworthy friend

Although I know I can’t see you
You’re watching everything I do
Always here throughout the day
Listening to what I say
Around the corner do you lurk?
While I’m in my cubicle at work
Making sure your cover’s not blown
Trying not to make your presence known
You just tried to sneak on by
Caught you out of the corner of my eye
You may annoy others when you weave and bob
I know you’re just doing your job
Keep me safe, like hand in glove
My guardian angel, from above

You all had your fun
Over on my blog
Undefended me
Went out for a jog
I came back, what did I find
Lurking on the 'net
Lots of silly comments
All waiting to be met
Lots of typing went on
Lots of posting, too
Gee your all so funny
Exactly what should I do
Timt to set a plan
You may want to pray
Oh my, oh my, guess what
Undefended is in the mood to play
Revenge is a dish best served cold
So that's what I've been told

She's just a few hours drive from me
she lives on the same coast
a woman that we all hold dear
and who would frequently post
to the forum where she made friends
where she'd spend parts of her day
and little did she know
she touched our hearts along the way
with the way she shared her feelings
and the way she talked to us
free with her time and her emotions
and she never raised a fuss
I'm sure that Jackie knows
that we're praying for her now
and we'd take this pain from her
if we truly just knew how
so let's hold on to each other
while we pray to God above
focus now on Jackie
and we'll send her all our love





we love you, Jackie!

Life is never easy
although we wish it were
it can run by at breakneck speed
we only see it as a blur
we wish for only positive
we only wish to gain
but we feel like we're in darkness
it seems we only feel the pain
weight of the world upon us
it seems too much to bear
we cry, we scream, we shed the tears
feels like our hearts will tear.
the world can be such a harsh place
that's something that we're told
so let's reach out to one another
grab a friend to hold
darkness and hurt will always fade
no matter what the size
so let's climb the mountain side by side
and wait for the sun to rise

I'll See You At The Gate


You were a special person
too special for this place
always had a song in your heart
and a smile on your face
opened up your home to friends
and opened your heart too
always ready to share some laughs
and talk to friends when they were blue
a bubbling personality
so brightly your light shone
I would've talked to you much more
but you were always on the phone   ;)
and then your last day comes
with the sadness that it brings
but you really couldn't stay here
you had to go and get your wings
you're up among the angels now
there's no more pain and no more hate
and when my time comes to cross over
I know I'll see you at the gate

Fork in The Road


-----------------------------



come upon a fork in the road
how to turn, and still carry your load
on your own, feeling unsure
often feeling insecure
seeking answers on your way
existing for more, day by day
clutching to part of your past
almost like a sail to a mast
remember the past may hold you back
excusing it to cut others some slack
forward moving is what you need
unless you pick up greater speed
love that you seek may never be reached
lonely and regretful, your happiness breached
your hopeful future may end up dead
because you refused to look only ahead
in forward motion is the way to be
go on to the future and wonders you will see
back to the past, it may cause you pain
regrets could be many, resources may drain
only you know what is best for you
think with a clear head, and choose what you should do
happiness for you, that is what you seek
either path lay in front of you, don't you feel weak
rewards must be earned, they aren't handed to the meek
