I STAYED AWAKE TO DREAM


I stayed awake because I had a dream
A dream that would never let me sleep
A dream to be as great if not greater than the men I admired
A dream to inspire a greater greatness than I would ever achieve

I stayed awake because I had a dream
A dream to speak to the world in words they would never forget
A dream to be remembered among the sages of ages
A dream to live more than an ordinary life
A dream to inspire a greatness than I would ever achieve

I stayed awake because I had a dream
A dream to be a miracle
A dream to heal wounded souls
A dream to light broken bones
A dream to wake life in dead dreams
A dream to inspire greatness than I would ever achieve

I stayed awake because I had a dream
I stayed awake because I believed in the dream
I stayed awake because I was walking the lonely path to the dream
I stayed awake and dreamed of inspiring in someone else a greater greatness than I would ever achieve

    What an elevating piece, inspires us to believe in what we do and stand up for others too. The words found a soft landing in my heart and I could fully resonate. Keep writing

ALL LIFE TIMES

A million words would not sound you out You inspire this feeling that makes me want to shout Priceless I choose to write Sound my heart unequivocally a cross life and time That it may never be forgotten that I loved And deeply so How I chanced upon you I can't tell But it must have been written in the stars That you will be the healer of my scars That love I will find on a mountain so high That flying would never be easy But splendor that is to die for This is a little loco Somehow it feels like I need your permission to breathe You leave me breathless in a nice way But this breathless is terrifying when you are away Delicate noble one you smashed me, a monster who would not break In the heat of everythig and in the rain of love A zillion flames would not melt me What is hotter than your presence and cuteness What is colder than your absence and silence How would my heart not crack in such a switch What would forge me back if not the enchanting flames of your love  In all worlds I

I WILL UNDERSTAND

I have been through a lot untold Life's heat and cold I have made it to this old From whence I stand So I understand That it is not the making of any hand That you do not and may never understand  me. As much as l look, you I  do not and may never see Like the depth of the sea Blue and blinding deep We remain mysterious like sleep I understand if you never understand Even if the waters wash the story I keep writing to you on time's sand Circumlocuting  in a million ways Verbal monotony becoming the songs of my days I still will understand if you never understand

OVERSTAYED VISIT

You don't need me So I thank you for the good you have done I say it in silence That way you will not sense the silent good bye It hurts me that our business in your face is done But I will remember we were brothers I will pray for you For my prayer is that you fly high and steady in the strong winds I will not forget that you helped me And the much I am or will be will acknowledge you But tonight I will pack what I can And leave your house brother Not groaning For all of us are guests in each others lives In my case I must have overstayed my visit I hope love never grows old I will find peace when it thrives again But now It is obviously used.
