Caught in a web

Many times we fear to face the truth and it's consequences. We do not want to give reasons and excuses for past blunders for sounding defensive is not our intention. So, we avoid and we lie. But the consequences of these lies are so catastrophic and the reaction so strong that you wonder which of the two is worse, the truth or the lie. The lie sounds better but the results do not bring about the relief expected. There are STILL consequences. And you feel yourself suffocating in the situation, you want out! Man, which is the greater of the two evils. Is there no relief from this?

Deceit

Oh, how we get caught up,
In this intrinsic web.
And time is suddenly up,
Like the days in Feb.
And you feel the suffocating wrap,
of the blanket of lies in your bed.

You twist and turn, you pull and yank,
It only gets tighter, and begins to hurt,
You watch in despair as your ship is sunk,
And your own lies tear your story apart,
You have nothing but your cowardice to thank,
For the deceit that you have made an art.

You wonder if it would have been better,
to stick to the truth and be brave,
Instead of following to the letter,
This lie that would eventually cave,
Just to form this enormous crater,
That is created when you misbehave.

Dreamer

I don't believe greatness is achieved by realistic people, sane people who adhere to limits. I think they are achieved by dreamers. Because without being a dreamer, you cannot survive life's failures and hard realities. Only a dreamer can ignore all the signs that the world generously dishes out to you and attempt what others may not comprehend. Many times, the world is harsh and discouraging and without your dreams to get wrapped up in, you will be lost in the world and its burdens will bog you down. Yes, I'm a dreamer, but its the only way to keep my sanity and survive what this world has to offer.

Dreamer

I have sat here, racking my brain
trying to understand this perpetual rain
and all the things in which I strain
and I have tried hard to refrain
from thinking I cannot take the pain

I have been a hopeless fanatic
in faith that works like magic
For it is the only way not to panic
that my life will turn tragic
as I listen to life's clock tick

I have lay here and been the spinner
Of my dreams as daylight grows dimmer
and related to words of any cooing singer
I see me talking as one of life's winners
I believe in all this for I am a dreamer

Free to Dance

There are times you just want to enjoy an internal part of you that is inspired by the external world. There those times you put on the music in the house and dance with abandon. Kinda like when you watch a movie where some girl hears music in a place like the forest or the beach and she dances and dances (not with anyone or for anyone) but simply because she wants to feel that freedom. Usually the director (and all his goons) know how to bring it all to a crescendo and you move with her and almost share her feeling the beat. By the time she's done, she's out of breath and your entranced.

I want to

I want to dance with sand under my feet
to nothing but the sound of drum beats
I want swing and swirl, twist and twirl
to get lost in the wind's whirl
I want to forget the world and feel from within
that I love the body that I live in

I want dance with sand under my feet
to a frenzy as I raise up the heat
As I move my body I am one with the beat
and I move it as it moves me
I want to indulge myself and immerse myself deep
in knowing in my moving I am free

I want to dance with sand under my feet
not to any particular single or hit
But to a rhythm that is raw and real
And know in that moment how I feel
Is not attached to any particular being
For it does not matter if anyone is seeing

I want to dance with sand under my feet
or even leaves that have fallen from a tree
Be it on a beach or in a forest
I want to dance like am flawless
Not to act, not to sing
Not even to be seen

Just to dance with the world under my feet
and my world to be a rhythmic beat
that with abandon I can feel
And be enchanted and know its real
I will do it at every chance
Because I love to be free to dance

A Life Led

A world was shared, a life was lost
In our despair, we feel it was short
We’re hurt we’re scared, we’re helpless and distraught
Because he loved and cared, he led and he taught
And many times he dared, to help in battles we fought

It’s hard to believe that he’s really gone
That our world is broken, that our hearts are torn
We know that this day comes, even when a child is born
But for one you love so much, it’s hard to fathom
How do you let go of a man, who your heart he won

You don’t

You live in the lessons, he lived to tell
You remember him fully, you remember him well
You remember him till your heart begins to swell
When you hear his song, let it ring a bell
Remember him with the four-letter word that starts with L

For a life was not lost but it was lived
And though our world is broken, the lord shall heal
Our lives are better, greater, because a of man we knew
A man so good and such men are very few
And in our heart is where we will keep you
Our loving Matthew
