When Love Comes Knocking




When love comes knocking at your door
 Waiting to capture you away in its arms
Will you peek through your peep hole?
To see who it is
Or will you take a leap of faith and
Open the door so love can walk in
Tango with your soul
Having your emotions tightly held in an embrace
Body and earth spinning out of control
Has your heart been stepped on one time too many
And the knock is representing your pain with each rhythmic sound
Taunting you daring you to open the door to your heart
So it can come in and take possession
Or do you take a chance and forgive, heal the hurt
Let love saunter on in to mesmerize you with passion
How many times does it take to get it right?
How many opportunities do we get to love again?
You ask yourself what if I get hurt once more and this
Dance ends like all the rest, leaving your heart heaving
Yet still unfulfilled
Debating on opening the door as the knock becomes louder
The vibration of the pounding matching the uncertainty of
Your heart beats
Let me in to love you as you should be loved
Echoes each cannonade tempo
When love knocks will you open the door?
Embrace your future
Or ignore it and live forever wondering…




Feelings Escaping

I don’t know if I should cry
Scream, curse, get pissed or simply
Accept the fact the human psyche
Is strange to dissect
My heart feels
My soul aches
My tears are cleansing
Inside I carry them
Drowning my pain
But my pain knows how
To swim

The Unknown


I can’t discipline the forces that
Lurk seeking to devour happiness
To stop my soul from soaring
My mind to create
My spirit from breathing
My heart from loving
If granted all that would be
Left is an empty shell
Of what use to be

Wrong Turn

Turn left no take a right
Directions on sign
Obscured to vision
Is this my test?
Left lane or right
Fork in the road make a U-turn
What’s next?
Damn navigation system is speaking
In a language that doesn’t exist
Pull out the road map
Now I’m even more confused
Dead end a head keep on driving
Put on the breaks
This will not be my fate
To end on a wrong turn
