you are a trampoline
for everyone you love in your life
bouncing high in the air
while you slowly sink in the ground
you are a relic of the home that once was
aged with time and vine while they sip wine as fine divine
but i will save you from the museum
not a treasure to worship
but a dancing queen to worship
a treasure on her own pirate ship
sailing and everything rounding her finger tips-
and will frame that trampoline
every great story has a beginning
i wanted to thank you
for loving me
i never make it easy
i fight like my title is on the line
but here you are
my defenses are only blanks
make noises and threats
jumping up and down to try to signal this jet from crashing
but you never do-
and i will hold you close
for i never want you to go
you scare me
like a monster under the bed
i check before i go to bed
hide under the cover
toes tucked so deep it will take a shovel to save
just be brave
i have read it before
heard it before
just turn your brain off
left the key in the ignition
driving all night
“The life you live is more important than the words you speak.”
-Mac
Chasin’ perfect and on the surface
I look so fine but really I’m
been runnin’ round missin’ makin’ somethin’ out of nothin’
catch twenty one- first time
I caught time it was fine until the lines
broken the goldmine. Please- stay a minute
will leave these spacesuits and fall back down
before you give me the boot. Curing clocks
just a gearbox we made to give a day meaning
just the same repeating all on coarse-
crash landing right on schedule to wake me from this faithful dream-
perfect.
it is easier to say you are a ghost
then to say you touched me
“They’re gonna try to tell you no, shatter all your dreams. But you gotta get up, and go and think of better things.” – M
Breathe- never fight it just let life in
an empty map not to mark it would be a mortal sin
meet your twin
out livin’ laughin’ makin’ love till the season changes
and it ranges but she is an angel
makin’ life worth lovin’ she told me
you can’t fight the feeling
never wasted moments been at my lowest
left with your condolence my own opponent
endless roaming and never frozen
but I was chosen through self demotion
can’t feel emotion just want to live on the ocean
through all the commotion I can hear her say-
you can’t fight the feeling.
you can’t fight the feeling.
never put much stock in the market
wanted to
be the standout price or waited for one to find me
silly or asleep
being to bee but always the worker never the queen
crying fiend
two types and always the catcher catching when you fall
standing tall
call when you say you miss me always nearby you make me wanna
be a good guy
when you say i love you i know the time is right now
here somehow
markets closed now lesson learned when asked when
now and then
time and again the one will find you and never a minute ahead
i could never get tired of you-
sleep is not an escape
because i know you are
waiting for me in my dream
when i wake
i will watch the sun climb
but she could never be as high as me
when you enter my atmosphere
will go star shopping
pick you out the right one
so wherever we are
whenever we are
just like you and me
their will be a star burning forever
I have people in my life
that I see myself growing old with.
The love of my life, yes.
I’ve had the same few people here,
since day one. I see us,
living in a beach house.
No cloudy forest or
haunted houses
a beach house playing bridge;
I’ve never played but we will learn.
I see you guys their,
and it’s something I take for granted
because you’ve always been
like a shadow following me it’s always been there
like warmth in the summer and cold in the winter
I can see that beach house.
Not the place,
but the memories.
People come and go-
some pay rent and stay a little longer
but as the tides rise the only ship
to test time was this friendship.
I never took a day off
work around the clock never stop never falloff.
I never said goodbye to Trevor
left in a hurry always a new endeavor
a brother and I’ll miss the way you said whatever
whoever whenever this life wasn’t forever but wherever you are
you’re here with me like Common will let it Be
a Seven and a dream we made one hell of a team.
No matter where life takes me, find me with a smile
pursuit to be happy, only laughing like a child.
I never told Malcolm what he meant to me
through depression living life under suppression
now making progression through self-expression
and this is my confession that you walked me through
and when it’s my time I wrote this for you
you on the drums and I’ll be on the keys
a jam session no questions.
Now I know the difference between the ground and the floor
if we got to fight, I’ll be down for the war
thumbs up-
Thanks to you, I never turned by back on love
like a fool thought I was cool but you’re such a jewel
and I never thought life would get this sweet
it got me cheesin’ from cheek to cheek
weak in my knees at ease antifreeze
and I ain’t going to wait for nothing
cause that just ain’t my style
it’s you when I smile
watching you walk down the aisle
life couldn’t get better
this gon’ be the best day ever.
Thank you to anyone who read, liked and left a comment on anything I posted this year or ever. I appreciate you, happy new year.
