Throwing Caution to the Hurricane

Immorality and unscrupulousness

All balled into one

In the specious, ostensible lucidness

I leave myself stunned

With such aspirations delayed

I destroy myself

But is it possible to be reprobate

If you need someone else?

The vamp taunts me with her wanions

I feel I must obey

With delectate colloquy I see a need for a companion

Is this to be my fate?

Casuistic and illogical premonitions

Escape my brain

I am beguiled by this superstition

And my soul feigns

Conflicted by zoanthropic feelings

I am led to the slaughter

I must use circumspection in this dealing

Or I shall be a lamb to the slaughter

Love does not conquer all

God does

So let this betrayal be small

And let this amount of blood be enough

Spatial Reasoning

It hasn’t always been an easy road

Since the day I met you I have been

On the waves tossed about to and fro

I’m a man of a million regrets

I’ve been everywhere

Traveled here and there

But of all the things

That this life brings

I miss you more and more

With each passing day

Need to get out and settle the score

Can’t keep living this way

Because I can’t let you walk

Away without having talked

Of all my biggest regrets

Losing you might be death of me yet

It hasn’t always been an easy life

Since the day I was born I have had

To endure being under the knife

Success and failure have driven me mad

I’ve done everything

But it drives me to drink

That I let you go

So this is to let you know

I miss you more and more

With each passing day

Need get out and settle the score

Can’t keep living this way

Because I can’t let you walk

Away without having talked

Of all my biggest regrets

Losing you might be death of me yet

And with a burning heart

And an ailing mind

I can’t stand to be apart

Feels like I’m confined

Within the prison of distance

So with great persistence

I must tell you that I don’t know

If I can live without you or let you go

You Deserve Better

Your beauty knows end

But they do not know that

As soon as it starts it ends

And it makes me so sad

They don’t appreciate you

Like I do

And they can’t see what I see

They can’t see your beauty

You deserve so much better

Than what you’ve been getting

Hush, now and let it in

Babe, you’re completely beautiful

The way you tell your jokes is impeccable

The way you smile is incredible

The way you move is so magical

Let’s not hesitate, let’s let it go

So we can just keep dancing ‘round in circles

You're graceful and sweet

But they throw you away

With your gifts so unesteemed

They let you get away

Blissfully unaware

With no cares

They let you walk out that door

But I can see you're worth more

You deserve so much better

Than what you’ve been getting

Hush, now and let it in

Babe, you’re completely beautiful

The way you tell your jokes is impeccable

The way you smile is incredible

The way you move is so magical

Let’s not hesitate, let’s let it go

So we can just keep dancing ‘round in circles

Discarded and used

They didn't love you for you

Chasing what they thought was right

And missing the diamond in front of their eyes

But I won't make the same mistake

Gotta get while the gettin's good

So this is now make or break

Don't let me be misunderstood

If I asked you to say yes, you would?

You deserve so much better

Than what you’ve been getting

Hush, now and let it in

Babe, you’re completely beautiful

The way you tell your jokes is impeccable

The way you smile is incredible

The way you move is so magical

Let’s not hesitate, let’s let it go

So we can just keep dancing ‘round in circles

Intimidating Assurances

Looking at you somehow takes my breath away

Like a little kid’s crush, my mouth moves in vain

No sounds protrude when I look at you

No telling from whence this feeling grew

All I know is that I cannot resist

The idea of taking this risk

Sophisticated

Yet down to earth

Beauty conflated

I need to get there first

How easily your words flow

From your beautiful lips

Dripping with honey so

Complimenting to your hips

Your sarcasm has such restraint

Clothed in humility

And wrapped in constraint

Resisting is a futility

Thinking of you somehow makes me go insane

Like a sleepless night, I try to look away

To no avail, my eyes turn to you

It’s saying no, my mind has reproved

The thought of me taking a useless risk

Captivated, I cannot resist

Sophisticated

Yet down to earth

Beauty conflated

I need to get there first

How easily your words flow

From your beautiful lips

Dripping with honey so

Complimenting to your hips

Your sarcasm has such restraint

Clothed in humility

And wrapped in constraint

Resisting is a futility

Mature with defining wisdom

Your independence is intimidating

You are the most beautiful in God’s Kingdom

Your campaign is a success in this head you’re invading

Banal attempts to resist your songs

That ring on and on with the sound of your voice

Find me wanting more of attributes what I have so longed

Your dainty sarcasm could make me lose my composure and poise

Sophisticated

Yet down to earth

Beauty conflated

I need to get there first

How easily your words flow

From your beautiful lips

Dripping with honey so

Complimenting to your hips

Your sarcasm has such restraint

Clothed in humility

And wrapped in constraint

Resisting is a futility

Begin Again (The Man's Perspective)

Take a deep breath in the mirror

He didn’t like when you wore high heels

But I do

Turn the lock and put your headphones on

He always said he didn’t get your songs

But I do, I do

Thought I’d be angry ‘cause your late

But I got here early and I stand and wave

You walk to me

I pull your chair out and help you in

And yes I know nice that is

Yes I know

I throw my head back laughing like a little kid

And I want to make you feel special because he never did

You’ve been spending the last eight months

Thinking all love ever does is break and burn and end

But on a Wednesday in a café, I watched it begin again

You said you never met one guy

Who knew as many small town artists as you

But I do

We tell stories ‘bout our crazy lives

You’re coming off a little shy

Like I do

I throw my head back laughing like a little kid

And I want to make you feel special because he never did

You’ve been spending the last eight months

Thinking all love ever does is break and burn and end

But on a Wednesday in a café, I watched it begin again

And we walked down the block to your car and you almost stopped right there

But we start to walk forward and talk about your family and friends

Every single desire and you want to talk about that

And for the first time what’s past is past

I throw my head back laughing like a little kid

And I want to make you feel special because he never did

You’ve been spending the last eight months

Thinking all love ever does is break and burn and end

But on a Wednesday in a café, I watched it begin again
But on a Wednesday in a café, we watched it begin again

Di Que Sí

Su cara es hermosa, mi amor

Quédate conmigo, por favor

Su sonrisa brilla tanto

Cuando las estrellas brillan

Como tus ojos me dan felicidad

Quiero estar en tu ciudad

Con una docena de rosas

Y un anillo para hacerte mi esposa

Mi amor por ti no morirá

Si te amo, prometo que nunca se irá

Voy y sabes lo que pediré

Sabes lo que espero que usted dirá

Que sí, di que sí

Te ves tan majestuosa, mi amante

Y en este anillo, hay un diamante

Porque sus formas son tan especiales

Los movimientos de sus caderas son celestiales

Vendré, y cuando vengo

Vendré en el amor y halago

Mi amor por ti no morirá

Si te amo, prometo que nunca se irá

Voy y sabes lo que pediré

Sabes lo que espero que usted dirá

Que sí, di que sí

May I Have This Dance?

The speakers leaves the stage

And the music starts to play

The women in dresses

And the men in suits

Their posture coalesces

With synchronicity they move

But she sits all alone, her hair all done

A beautiful gown, and she is sitting down

Arising I approach, in effulgent hope

I reach out my hand, and with a compassionate voice I ask

Is your heart beating

As fast as mine?

The night is fleeting

And the stars shine

So on the off chance

You’ll take my hand

I’d like to ask

May I have this dance?

The massive crowd now parts

And the soft music now starts

The dancing now begins

As everyone stares

Our hearts beat to the rhythm

I have not yet cast aside my cares

And she sits all alone, her hair all done

A beautiful gown, and she is sitting down

Arising I approach, in effulgent hope

I reach out my hand, and with a compassionate voice I ask

Is your heart beating

As fast as mine?

The night is fleeting

And the stars shine

So on the off chance

You’ll take my hand

I’d like to ask

May I have this dance?

One more dance with you

One more encore

I wish you could have the moon

What more’s in store?

Babe, I haven’t a clue

But for now, may I have this dance with you?

Is your heart beating

As fast as mine?

The night is fleeting

And the stars shine

So on the off chance

You’ll take my hand

I’d like to ask
May I have this dance?

Can You?

I cannot believe I said those words to you

I cannot believe the inconsiderations I made

So many times wishing I could hate you

Hoping that if I pretend my feelings for fade

That maybe my heart would actually believe me

But it never worked that way

And those feelings of hatred never did relieve me

All it ever did was drive me insane

How can I retract all of the words I said?

Sure God has forgiven me

But can that ever make amends?

Can I ever take back my defeat?

Can I take back the hurt?

Can you ever forgive

Those hurtful words?

Can we live and let live?

Spider

Wandering the streets with my superpowers

Because my soul has been devoured

So now every minute, every hour

The voices in my head grow louder

Images ingrained and stained in my head

Finishes the bane disdain clothed in red

I wish that love had never come

And if I’m left to play the hero this time

I don’t wanna have to save you

So babe, don’t stay, just run

Before you run out of time

Before time runs out on you

Badgering my mind with my battle fatigue

Because my brain has lost intrigue

So now every movement, like a machine

The loudness grows, I hear my own heart beat

Rationale inclined and mined from my thoughts

Chaparral maligned and chined, look what it bought

I wish that love had never come

And if I’m left to play the hero this time

I don’t wanna have to save you

So babe, don’t stay, just run

Before you run out of time

Before time runs out on you

Black roses at your funeral

Your insistence to help

You character so haughty some

Resulting in your untimely death

I did not stop you

Because I loved you

Please run

Please run

I wish that love had never come

And if I’m left to play the hero this time

I don’t wanna have to save you

So babe, don’t stay, just run

Before you run out of time

Before time runs out on you

I Miss You

This is a completely different premise than Shane and Shane's track with the same name, so I did not copy anything.  

I miss you

Like the flower

Longing for the sun

Yearning in the midnight hour

Wanting the night to be done

I want you

Like the dark night

Longing for the moon

Longing for you in my sight

Wishing I would come soon

And so day or night

Is not overly important

I just know it feels right

And effervescent

You are the one

I have been waiting for

This flower longs for your sun

Of that, I can only be sure

I Long For You

Like a way back from hell

You saved my life

And time can only tell

If you will stay in my sights

But I trust that we both

Know and understand

That we both have a hole

A fire that is unfanned

And I know it’s not right

To want to come for you

Because I want to come for you

But maybe it’s not right

To not come there for you

Because I want to come for you

I will wait, I will wait

Until the sun falls from the sky

I will chase, I will chase

You until time passes us by

Tomorrow might be too late

Today might be too soon

I know that I cannot wait

To sit with you underneath the moon

Like a thief in the night

You stole my heart

And it only feels right

To wanna be where you are

But I trust that you and I

Know and wanna be

Over our drawn up lines

Let’s live this fantasy

And I know it’s not right

To want to come for you

Because I want to come for you

But maybe it’s not right

To not come there for you

Because I want to come for you

I will wait, I will wait

Until the sun falls from the sky

I will chase, I will chase

You until time passes us by

Tomorrow might be too late

Today might be too soon

I know that I cannot wait

To sit with you underneath the moon

Tranquil nights underneath the moon

Wishful thoughts at the height of June

July burns and scorches the earth

But it’s not as hot as my heart burns

For you, yeah babe, I long for you

I long for you

I will wait, I will wait

Until the sun falls from the sky

I will chase, I will chase

You until time passes us by

Tomorrow might be too late

Today might be too soon

I know that I cannot wait

To sit with you underneath the moon

Compliments of the Irish

The nose that sharply comes to a point
Short and thin as a greyhound at the gate
Your stature shows such excellent poise
Your deep blue eyes convey such a calm, collective state
Your voice brings out the intellect that exalts you
You are not first among women, for that would be an insult
For your words ring much deeper and more true
Than the rest of the people on this earth, for they seem dull
Your hair, short, neat, and such definably kept
The red and blonde mix that alerts the eyes
A pleasure to look at and a sight I'm ready to accept
How did you land unhurt, oh the logic you defy!
For you landed unscathed from the heavens above
Your beauty and intelligence merely compliment
Your very being, the core of you brings me to the point of love
So maybe I might be able to enjoy such a sweet, sweet sentiment

Love Is Confusing

Loneliness sets in

Who am I and who will I become?

Thoughts of potential sins

Thoughts of doing something dumb

Thoughts of perpetual aristocracy

Muddled with my failures

Inoculated with the imbecility

Beginning this advancing allure

Carrying me off into the sunset

Thoughts running rampant

Tearing down the effulgent

Bringing forth an advent

Of mixed peccadillos and venialities

Hoping against itself that

It will merely amount to insipidities

At the end it will be just another rant

All of these thoughts combine

Swirling like a hurricane

Slowly they poison my mind

These thoughts are so ingrained

Will I ever be in the right?

Can I ever achieve the perfection,

That is always in their sights?

Can I ever show true affection?

Can I ever love a woman the way,

That she needs, not that I want?

Can I ever provide enough mercy and grace?

Can I ever imitate God?

Poisoned, I need an antidote

I endeavor to elucidate

So I make another anecdote

Or maybe I just hallucinate

Because I am speaking gibberish

Or am I on to a struggle

That all Christian men wish

Would be more subtle?

Amazing the realization

Hits at the same moment

With obvious illustration

It does not sugarcoat it

Will I ever be good enough?

Will I have something to offer?

Will I not be gentle, but too rough?

Will there be coins in my coffer?

Will I fail as a man?

Will I fail as a father?

Will I fail as a husband?

Should I even bother?

Can I make the cut?

Can I stand out among others?

Will her heart remain shut?

Will she only be attracted to brothers?

Doubts, fears, and everything else

Haunt my contemplations

The throbbing of my head feels like welts

Perhaps from all of the speculations

Considering I am not clairvoyant

I am merely a pesky human

So I must think different and void it

And I must cease assuming

That I will always make a mistake

Even though it is highly probable

So I am more scared that I will be fake

Than a virtuous Zerubbabel

My faithful, trusted friends

Tell me that I “need to meet some women”

But how does that profit me in the end?

Will it help me with cohabiting?

Will it help me to be intimate?

Will it plant a desire for missions?

Will it help console me when I am irate?

Will it help me make big decisions?

Or will it create bigger ones?

What is the point?

Should I sacrifice my heartstrings to “have some fun”?

Should just ignore that little voice

That is my conscience

Should I go against what I believe,

To follow possible concupiscence?

Will it grant me reprieve?

Sure it might make me less anxious

But it will desensitize me to the wrong

And lead me into things unsanctioned

You can interrogate any of the strong

Ask them how they were subdued

Behind every major fall

Is a woman that was shrewd

And the man gave his all

But his all was too little

Or too much depending on the tale

Because every jot and tittle

Faded and turned into a fail

Patience is a virtue

And true love always waits

Or so the common ideology spews

And so common are the traits

But what if patience does me no good?

What if it does me harm?

Like my heart tells me it would

Or maybe that is just my arm

Being squeezed in seduction

By a beauty too good to pass up

Perhaps an introduction

Would be worth it for me to stand up

A Nightmare of Reality

I thought I let go of you

I thought you were gone

I thought I forgot about you

But I guess I was wrong

I thought we didn’t talk

I thought this was past

I thought I chopped the beanstalk

I thought you were trapped

In the sky, away from me

Leaving me in solitude

Then how did you haunt my dream?

How did the emotions resume

Picking up where they left off

Creeping into my head

Bitterness, anger, loss

Wishing you were dead

Wishing I was too

Wanting you back

Starting to argue

Reliving the past

Sometimes it seems

The worst nightmares

Are memories

They give the most scare

Sometimes reality

Is much worse than make believe

But thankfully

I woke up from that dream in bitter relief
