Subject: Why?

Why is there so much heartache and pain
Why does it seem to forever rain
Why cant the world be a better place
Why can't you look me in the face

Why is this wall of stone so high?
Why does my heart forever cry?
Where is the happiness I ever seek
Why do things always seem so bleak

I just want the tears and heartache to cease...
All that I'm asking for is inner peace!
I look to God but cannot find
What it seeks in my mind

I feel so lost and all alone

Rape

Subject: Rape

There is a cop who is both prowler and father:
he comes from your block, grew up with your brothers,
had certain ideals.
You hardly know him in his boots and silver badge,
on horseback, one hand touching his gun.

You hardly know him, but you have to get to know him:
he has access to machinery that could kill you.
He and his stallion clop like warlords among the trash,
his ideals stand in the air, a frozen cloud
from between his unsmiling lips.

And so, when the time comes, you have to turn to him,
the maniac;s sperm still greasing your thighs,
your mind whirling like crazy. You have to confess
to him, you are gulty of the crime
of having been forced.

And you see his blue eyes, the blue eyes of all the family
whom you used to know, grow narrow and glisten,
his hand types out the details
and he wants them all
but the hysteria in your voice pleases him best.

You hardly know him but now he thinks he knows you:
he has taken down your worst moment
on a machine and filed it in a file.
He knows, or thinks he knows, how much you imagined;
he knows, or thinks he knows, what you secretly wanted.

He has access to machinery the could get you put away;
and if, in the sickening light of the precinct,
and if, in the sickening light of the precinct,
your detalis sound like a portrait of your confessor,
will you swallow, will you deny them, will you lie your way home?

-Adrienne Rich

Subject: Inside

Inside me lives a little man who rarely shows his face
when he does I feel that he is just so out of place
so I stuff him back down deep inside and that works for now
but this little man is growing and I am not sure how
to control him anymore as his anger grows and grows
I guess some day I'll have to show him, but for now no one else knows
of the little man inside me whos anger grows and grows

Goodbye

Subject: Goodbye

I guess all good things come to an end
Somewhere the road will always bend
Leaving some things out of sight
For everyday there is a night
I'll never forget you're proud high head
I'll never forget the things you've said
When no one else was there but you
The sky once black, had then turned blue
The light you shined on everyone's face
For everything, a time and place
Now it's your turn in the sun
Leave no roads untraveled, and nothing undone
Now it's time to spread your wings and fly
For now it's time to say Goodbye

I could use a title for this one:

Untitled
--------

Well did you start your looking
Did you find a place
Where everyone goes, but noone is safe

Chorus:
And if I forget your face
If I forget your name
Don't take it so bad
Because nothing is ever the same

And the lights went down
And the stars went up
And everything in your life
Just falls apart

<Repeat Chorus>

Bridge:
And after time
Has gone by
Nothing is like
What you leave behind

<Repeat Chorus>

Anyone here play guitar? I have the chords too...

buh-bye

"Moonlight Porch"

================================================================

"Moonlight Porch"

And the moon is mine tonight
I own the shadows and the light
If not forever
Just for one night

Maybe a blue moon will shine
Maybe I lost what was mine
If only forever
Just not tonight

If the ocean is quiet
If the waves are calm
If the pain recedes
(Know) For tonight, the world stops.

And if the light ever subsides
Know that it can't hide
Because its there
every night
except now
because tonight
it's mine

---------

I think I'm gonna change the chorus (the third part) to:

If the ocean is quiet
If the waves are calm
Know for tonight
The world stops

Well I think I'm going to sit down tonight with the piano. Anyway To let all
know, a project that I'm in (dare I call it a band?) has recorded a song
and
it sounds excellent (the sound quality is horrible, but its for our own
purposes for now). l8r

buh-bye

Hey I thought I'd forward this from my message folders. I posted it onto
VNet I think a while back, and I'm sitting here with my guitar in a total
writing slump. So I'll post these and maybe I'll spark some musical
creativity.

Anyway here is the original message (I don't have "Beautiful Loser" in my
archives, but maybe I'll retype it some day):

A>Re: Beautiful Loser
A>
A>I really liked that. You seem to have put so much emotion into it. Send
A>some more.

Well thanks Brian (original replier), and here is a bit more that I've
scrounged up from my music folder. (all of these will eventually be worked
into music, many are already)

Help me out with a name here for this one...

Untitled (shorter version)
--------

Looking for something
that cannot be found
trying to find a reason
in this nowhere town

Nothing is ever what it seems
Now that you've lost your dreams

Left here divided
together they fall
can't find their place here
can't sort through it all

She shall sleep no more
in her white-washed walls

I don't want to fly
Becuase I can't sleep
I don't want to die
Because I forgot how to dream.

My angel wings, fly away
I can't sing, ever again

Untitled (shorter version)
--------

I know tonight it's just you and me
in each other's arms
as the water rushes by
and I kiss you one last time
and you get that lost look in your eye
I hold you hand and we count the stars
And we know we've come so far
And time is moving slow
And our hands are moving close
And we know that nothing lasts forever

Untitled (Could someone write another verse for me maybe???? Thanks.)
--------

<verse 1>
Well did you start your looking
Did you find a place
Where everyone goes
but noone is safe

<Chorus?>
And if I forget yuor face
If I forget your name
Don't take it so bad
Becuase nothing is ever the same

<Bridge>
And after time
Has gone by
Nothing is like
What you leave behind

Untitled
--------
Now all your thoughts are breaking
Is this life falling down
Your little world is crumbling
It's over now

When you start growing older
Your thoughts are growing colder
It's over now

When your dreams are all shattered
And nothing really matters
It's over now

And all I wanted
Was something more
Left alone
Could I hold on?

any feedback would be highly appreciated.

Re: Lost in Love (Part two)

I understand what you feel
what you feel for this girl is definitely real
I hope that you will just let go
And find someone new, you're a great guy Joe
Realize that youhave some great features
I know some girls act like hideous creatures
but someday you'll find one that you love
her heart will fit you like a glove
now know that I am help you through
and realize that your love will someday be returned to you.

I was wondering girl did you find out what I mean
I'll tell you all my secrets and I'll come clean
When I see you in the hallways, I give you a look
And then you start laughing, don't you see what you took
The hope and the feeling I had for you
It is now destroyed girl, what can I do
You don't want me, I've been wasting my time
Mow I'm hurt girl, that you'll never be mine
I kept pouring my heart out all just for you
And now I'll turn away and look for someone new
If you understand girl what you just missed
A life time of love, whenever we would kiss
I would of treated you like a princess or a queen
But now I ffel, that you've become a dream
You broke my heart, and you will find
The love I had for you, was truly mine
You've turned away and hang out with another guy
I guess I'm jealous, that's no surprise

Subject: Lost In Love

I go out now and look for someone new
But I can't find girl, what I found in you
I'll get over you, someday I know I will
And when I do, I'll feel something still
Like this feeling and I can't understand why
So I thought we might discuss it girl just you and I
You bring the love and the best out of me
I love you girl why can't you see

Metaphysical Grace

Grace is a concentration in motion,
a flowing calculation,
an indication,
of the spirit in the flesh;
and its grace,
as it seems,
is a measure of its power.
With its feet on the ground,
it can fly.
The body is only disguise.
