Will you let me be
something
something special
I should be?
No hesitation
no what if’s
just be
something special
the special something
that’s me.
And if you like
I’ll help you be
that
special something
the something special
you should be.

I fall between the cracks
I stay in limbo
I just keep in a sway
not moving forward
standing still
all day.
Will it be
the same tomorrow?
The same as today?
Will I look ahead
but
never, never
find
my way?

There seems
not to be
a lot of sense, logic
nor
harmony
basking itself
in
sunny beauty.
All that seems
to exist
is
anger
hatred and strife
screaming obscenities
throughout
the long cold, horrid night.
Let me
feel
the gift of love
enveloped
in
beauty, happiness
near
people who care.
Not those who
only seek
to
destroy.
Oh please, please
let me.

Words
are
lost to me
not knowing what to say
no images seen
no goodness, no dreads
does
my pen’s tip
know.
I’ll take a deep sigh
I’ll smile
and
say
‘Maybe tomorrow
I’ll have something most exquisite to say!’

Slowly I see
what you do
what
you make
with no regard
for what
others think.
No you don’t
no
you do not.
You do your own thing
and
I’ll follow your example.
I’ll do everything
that
takes me on my own trail
my own path.
Maybe we’ll meet again
maybe not.
But
you showed me
my way.
By doing
what
you needed to
doing what you ought.

I creep, I crawl
I cry
No idea
what I need
I feel
so wrong
so bad
Will I die?
Words
I hear
words I say
Are they real
or
a dream
I had yesterday?

I met my love
A long time ago
And
Far, far away
On this day
This
Valentine’s Day.
We’ve travelled
Thru life
Together
Living, loving, laughing
Maybe
A little fighting
Whatever
Life brought us
On that particular day.
Looking back
I smile and say
Life has been good
Since
Way back
When I met my love
On
Valentine’s Day.

We have travelled
far away from
Home
We have seen
exotic places
filled with
wonder, beauty
and
exquisite creatures
as
we roamed far
far from
Home
But nothing
is
as precious
as
Home
Those we have
here
right here
at
Home
Those we love
who love us
who greeted us
with
great happiness
and
joy
when we arrived here
right here
at
Home
So pleased
to be
here
right here
at
beautiful, exquisite
Home.

No one knows
Nor
Do they tell
Why the world turns
And
Doesn’t fall
Into hell.
Maybe it has
Maybe
There we are
No one knows
Nor
Do they tell.
over again.

The howl
of
the monkey
may
tell me
the things I need
to know
I must listen
quietly
hear those words
that will bestow
answers
to
questions asked
It will be
all
all I need
need to know.
