I stand alone under the stars.
Alone on the purple carpet.
Gazing off into the distance.
Waiting for others like me.
Ones who grow stronger in the wind.
Who lift their leaves to the sun.
Who aren’t afraid to be different.
Come and join me.
We will grow true and green.
A house of ice.
So very nice.
But it’s still unstable.
Like a shaky table.
Once the sun shows its hot face.
The house is a melted place.
Such can be a house built on lies.
Useful as a horse catching flies.
Once the lies are unsealed.
House of cards is revealed.
A house’s foundation must ring true.
It must be built to be strong & true.
Robert Bateman.
Free as the wind.
Freedom reigns clear and true.
Fly like the wind.
For the red, white, and blue.
Come to me, my sweet love.
From the heavens above.
I want to spend life with you.
One heart that will beat like two.
Come with me to our secret place.
I cannot wait to see your face.
Our love is honest and true.
Come to me from the dark blue.
A LIGHT
A light shines bright.
It shines all night.
Even into the morning hours.
It shines for you.
It shines true.
Come back to me.
Lost ship of the night.
I pray every night.
For those lost at sea.
For me.
And for you.
A ray of hope in a dark world.
A belief in freedom.
And justice.
For all.
No exceptions.
No conditions.
Open arms.
Waiting.
Stay true.
Stay hopeful.
A house of ice,
built from solid blocks of ice
is unstable.
It is only temporary.
Once the sun comes out,
the bricks melt,
the house falls.
Like a house of lies.
Once the lies are uncovered,
the house collapses on itself.
A house’s foundation
must be built to be strong & true.
Mikey by JohnBranhamArt
Is this you?
At times I feel this way.
I feel like murdering someone.
Cutting their heart out
of their mean and vengeful body.
But we can’t.
We’re humans with
compassion and forgiveness
in our hearts.
But it does feel good to think
like this when we’re hurt and angry.
So think your crazy thoughts and
then put on your happy face.
No one will ever know.
OUR TRUE FACE
What face do you show to the world?
Is it a happy face with smiles and laughs?
Or a sad face with frowns and whimpers?
Whatever face we might show,
there’s another face hidden behind it.
Our true face that very few see.
The face that accurately reflects our dreams,
desires, fears, and thoughts.
Complex thoughts that are never revealed to others.
As I watch people, I try to envision their true face.
At times, I can see it in their eyes;
for eyes more accurately reflect our inner thoughts.
So put on your fake face but you can only try to
disguise yourself with your eyes.
For the eyes tell all.
Do you see your skin, hair, and eyes?
Or do you see what’s inside?
Do you see who you really are
once you peel away the bones?
You can’t help it.
You know who you are, no matter
how you present yourself to others.
WE ALL HAVE DAYS LIKE THIS.
WE WISH AND WISH FOR SOMETHING
AND IT DOESN’T COME TRUE.
ONLY IN OUR DREAMS.
