positive thinking,
love-hearted vibes,
a strive to stay simple
when nothing seems right.
an up-hill long battle,
a fight for the win,
a smile for others,
a cover for sins.

damn content.
pretty damn content
this is all now heaven sent
trying to keep my pace in time
and won't let all things defeat me
pretty damn alright
no desire to win this fight
where and when the clock will say
it's like my dreams deceive me
life, in space will not erase
what has come to haunt me
time and space has made me face
beyond where my eyes, they could see
this is all now heaven sent

what has come to haunt me
time and space has made me face
beyond where my eyes, they could see
free.
love life aside
trouble ahead
life on my mind
things here instead
i find myself lost
stuck here behind
i find myself lost
trying to hide
i can't help but think
this isn't ok
i can't help but wish
you would come here for me
i don't know why, here.
you've done this to me
i can't help but know
this isn't for free.

"The Best"
You were wrong about the rumors,
you were wrong about the past.
You were wrong about my future,
and that things would never last.
You were wrong about my feelings,
my intentions of it all.
You were wrong about who'd be there..
when I finally made the fall.
You were wrong about the evenings,
that I never would "forget".
You were wrong about yourself...
"I'm the best you'll ever get"

a letter i'll never send.
a letter i'll never send
on a night i'll never sleep
a feeling i'll never kick
and a person i'll never meet
a thing i'll always do
and a fight i'll never win
a thing i'll always want
and a night i'll never grin
a touch i'll never get
in a way i'll never have
a thought i'll always fight
even though it's never bad
on a night i'll never sleep
a feeling i'll never kick
and a person i'll never meet
a thing i'll always do
and a fight i'll never win
a thing i'll always want
and a night i'll never grin
a touch i'll never get
in a way i'll never have
a thought i'll always fight
even though it's never bad
Magnet.
magnet, attraction.
beauty, defeat.
it's something about you,
weak in my knees..
a simple request to attend what you may,
a simple retreat to forget what you say.

40 years ago.
Forty years ago, man was fascinated by a lightbulb.
10 years later, a still portrait frame.
And although that moment took many to capture,
the delight was all the same.
A few years later they found a virus,
killing loved ones fast and strong,
and as time went on, we found a cure
..and life could move along.
Twenty years had gone on by..
and time had turned to fade,
along with certain, given truths,
that we all had come to train.
Expectations were not much,
other than the sun to rise.
And every so often without a doubt,
the moon would run and hide.
They found names for things that hadn't
had a meaning to us before..
And they began to slowly realize,
why the ocean met the shore.
Life was simply simple,
pain was done about.
Simple knowledge was something ..
that most could live without.
10 years ago we celebrated a turning of a time,
a breakthrough in technology,
a new year,
a million lives.
Time now moving quickly,
and all things now fly ahead.
When at one time people gathered,
now with a computer they sat instead.
They forgot about the beauty
that the world has for us to hold.
They forgot about the stories
our great-grandparents once had told.
They forgot that life was simple,
before a microsoft.
They forgot that things aren't endless
and in time they will top off.
They found a way to make it
a little longer than before.
They found a way to utilize
how the ocean meets the shore.
The people didn't realize
life wasn't better than before.
No one wanted nature..
when they could have an iPhone 4.
Sunsets went unnoticed,
and weather day to day,
no one stopped and thought about
where we would stand today.
5 years ago I began to notice
all these things above.
How the sky is blue,
the sea not green,
as I tried my way with love..
I found myself in worry
about what it is that I should do.
I would live within a hurry
and take one breath, instead of two.
Next thing I knew, just months ago.
I moved away from home.
I found myself even more confused
as to where that I should go..
With open eyes, I realized,
my troubles were not so.
That what I once had troubled myself,
was never how I had shown.
Life, within this universe,
is larger than us all.
It doesn't matter who you are,
what we do,
or how much tall.
The stars that light our cities.
The moon that passes by.
The strangers that walk next to us,
never saying hi.
The delicacy in colors.
The shapes of all the clouds.
The way without a simple thought,
we all are in a crowd.
Yesterday, I looked back at this,
and wondered why I'm here.
Why the matter we find among this Earth,
had made me face my fear.
The good and bad within my life,
flawless to the world.
The things I get caught up inside,
I should use them as my shield.
Sitting here, now writing this.
I watch people passing by.
I know they wonder why I'm here,
and if I know the time.
I smile soft and think inside
that things will be okay.
And maybe, someday, someone soon,
will learn to seize the day...
They'll look back & remember what it's like
not to stare into a screen.
They'll walk outside without that junk
and listen to the birds that sing.
If I could I would go back in time,
to a time before us all.
I would warn the people as they walk,
that the world may soon now fall.
I would tell them to embrace the beauty
of a simple sunny day,
and that no matter what to live as though,
today is their last day.
My advise to you is to listen clear,
live content, away from fear.
Stop worrying now about what tomorrow may bring,
and never be afraid to dance and sing.

Years in my life.
years in my life
impatient i was
wanted to leave there
had to move on
years in my life
i wont understand
just how much precious
this life really is
college is different
time moves on fast
the people are timeless
and the friendships don't last
the minds are all blurry
the attitudes fade
the rumors are endless
new ones each day
years in my life
i spent there with you
we laughed and we romanced
we did what we do
years in my life
i made you my friend
you moved to my bestest
my partner in crime
without you beside me
i nearly do cry
now years in my life
i sit here and think
had things have been different
would i float or then sink
years in my life
i learned here and there
that it really doesn't matter
about your shoes or your hair
what does matter is friendship
family and faith
what matters is memories
and your place within fate.

The colors of sound.
Life, aside from a set of values, is a crazy landscape full of truly amazing people, places, sights, and sounds. Embrace the beauty around you, perceive your world abstractly, live within the moment, seize the day, and smell the flowers.
Coming soon: http://thecolorsofsound.tumblr.com/

A sunny delight.
wind on our face,
grass at our feet.
fate could be kind,
if the sun didn't heat.
ocean nearby,
and clouds closing in.
we were told to be careful,
and never to sin.
light in my eye,
faith in my heart.
knowledge they taught me,
just where to start.
decisions here made,
and life now begun.
things i do see,
are now part of the fun.
a glow in my passion,
a fight to do right.
a thought for the effort,
a sunny delight.

Follow the Light: 2011
As time has passed and moved away ..
We have lost our grasp on what's "today".
I have found myself confused with dates,
decided that you cannot choose my fate..
Made decisions that made some hearts reverse.
Made words into sequences, that formed a verse...
A year ahead, a year behind,
unsure of what we all may find..
2011.. a year of truth,
the last of which will house my youth.
Decisions now to change my path...
to make things right, but still relax.
To look back and see where things went wrong,
to realize we could have got along..
The truth of what we all can do,
is nothing more and nothing new..
Here, in us, we have a light.
it's up to you just how much bright..
This light will lead us toward good things..
and show us just how much we bring
to the world we all are in
and to the one's who house our grins.
Embracing this will repent the fear,
fight the dark, remove our tears..
And it doesn't take more than believing it so..
following urges when told where to go.
A simple light, a effortless move,
a thing you take, and choose to do.
No complicated thought or words of song.
No book to decide when we move along.
Just positive thoughts to fight the bad
and having loved ones around to hide the sad..
2011 is here for change.
Embrace the world for what it may..
Make the choice to make things good,
ignore the bad, remove the hood..
Live as if it is your last,
and realize that time will move on fast..
Don't lose your mind when things are hard..
look in and out, or near and far..
Light of love and push of faith,
create your world without the hate.
Now's the time to make the change,
No regrets, just rearrange.
