If there is something in my eyes, a kind of honesty in the face, then I guess you could say that's the man I'd like to be, the man I want to be.

One's Selected Beliefs
Put into its right perspective...
An honesty that is and maintained.
This kind of perspective...
Isn't going to be accepted,
In a society basically fed...
On a diet of delusions.
Let's face it!
Honesty is not the thing,
People receive readily.
Nor regularly!
And for many,
Honesty is traumatic and fear producing.
Honesty chases truth away.
Truth offends.
Who doesn't know that?
Now,
With a little bit of sugar...
Some animation,
And an adult speaking in a child's voice...
Deceit, being discreet and kept secrets,
Are priorities kept and practiced.
And...
Will sustain one's selected beliefs,
Those chosen to become tradition...
For lifetimes of celebrated mystique.

A precious acquisition
Honesty,
A virtue so precious.
With it,
Lives are saved.
Without it,
Are lives destroyed.
Honesty,
A precious possession.
The humble,
Like a guest embrace.
The greedy,
Like an enemy they shun,
And with mud,
On its face they smear.
But the fools,
Like a stranger they fear.
Honesty,
A precious possession.
Its lovers,
To hens are metaphored,
But their ridiculers,
Are the hens themselves,
For God,
Honesty initiates and loves.
So anyone,
Who honesty champions,
Will for eternity,
God's friend remain.
Honesty,
A priceless commodity.

Face
You say you want to see my face,
Before we meet each other for a date.
It will not be 'blind'...
Both of our eyes will be opened wide!
And receiving a picture of my face,
Before I arrive...
Will not describe,
My warmth.
My honesty.
Sincerety or soul.
My humor or integrity.
Nor my good looks!
Well...
Of that I am told.
A picture will not instantly tell you,
The kind of person I am!
And IF you did regard me goodlooking...
That would not mean,
A dime on you I would spend.
So 'if' you'd like to greet and meet...
Do it!
Because a face picture to you,
I will not send!
An online 'ho'
Is not what I will be!
Nor is that what I intend!

What Is A Face?
What is a face
that wears no smile?
'Tis only the face
that's been hurt for a while.
What is a face
that's gracious to see?
'Tis surely the face
of serenity.
What is a face
with wondrous eyes?
'Tis one that sees
beyond the skies.
What is a face
with saddened eyes
'Tis the face of a soul
with inner cries.
What is a face
that's hard to define?
'Tis one with no expression
of any kind.

Denied
I'm trying, denying
why won't you ever talk to me
I know it, can't show it
I guess it's kind of hard to see
I'm learning, confirming
the lies a thousand times before
I know it, can't blow it
not long before you shut the door
I'm trying, denying
I guess it's never supposed to be
it's coming down now
it's coming down because of me
when I look into your eyes
you know you've got me hypnotized
all I want is to hold on
I know all these problems just begin
it seems as if they'll never end
all I want is to hold on to you
want to lay back and close my eyes
dream of things I could not find
just lay back and close my eyes
I'm trying, denying
I guess it's never supposed to be (just lay back and close my eyes)
it's coming down now (just lay back and close my eyes)
it's coming down because of me

The End To A Perfect Beginning
everything was perfect
like a relationship should be
time spent together
honesty trust till
eternity
i never knew how much
one day could mean to me
i guess i was blind
not willing to see
my love of my life
had to leave
face to face he slowly, patiently
explained everything to me
full of pain an shock
not wanting him to leave
was the hardest part
that i didnt want to believe
silence, grieving
my heart could not take
i wanted to fall into a deep sleep
an never wake
for the last time i looked in to his eyes
an all i could see
was a heart broken lover
because of me
my love has gone
but maybe he will return
to hold me once again
without saying one word
i need to move on
that is what i tried to remind myself
but its hard, for i could never love
anyone else......

With You
Ive held your hand so many times
But I still get the feeling I felt the very first time
Ive kissed your lips and laid with you
And I cherish every moment we spend in each others arms
I guess my eyes can only see as far as you
I only want to be with you
Weve come so far in so little time
Sometimes I wonder if this is meant to be
Sometimes you are so very kind
That the nights youre not with me Im scared that youre gonna leave
I guess you could say that Im just being a fool
But I only want to be with you
I guess you could say that Im just being a fool
But I always, always want to be with you

Honesty
You steal and take from everyone else do you feel good about yourself
Instead of taking try to give and then you'll feel good about the way you live
honesty need some honesty
too many of us filled with greed overlooking those who need
open your eyes and change your ways open your heart and break away

Guess Who?

Somebody thrills the skies
When she looks in your eyes
Guess who?
Guess who?
Somebody longs to be part
Of the song in your heart
Guess who? guess who?
Whose heart is sure to melt like butter
The moment that you utter
I do I do
Oh its as plain as can be
That the someone is me
So you dont have to

Do What I Gotta Do
I've been feeling lately like being single or just alone
To get into myself
Life ain't easy it can be crazy games that we play
Sometimes the rules have to change
I don't want to treat her cruel
But I like honesty baby
So what am I gonna do
I guess I'll do what I gotta do
And break her heart
I don't wanna see her cry
But it's hard to live a lie
So I gotta
Do what I gotta do
And break her heart
Though I love the girl I know
That the best thing is for us to be apart
Many good relationships start inside of a happy man
I hope that she will understand
If I tell her straight up then she will only respect me
Even if we don't agree
I don't want to treat her cruel
But I like honesty baby
So what am I gonna do
I guess I'll do what I gotta do
And break her heart
I don't wanna see her cry
But it's hard to live a lie
So I gotta
Do what I gotta do
And break her heart
Though I love the girl I know
That the best thing is for us to be apart
I don't want to treat her cruel
But I like honesty baby
So what am I gonna do
I guess I'll do what I gotta do
And break her heart
I don't wanna see her cry
But it's hard to live a lie
So I gotta
Do what I gotta do
And break her heart
Though I love the girl I know
That the best thing is for us to be apart

Evarytime
Notice me
Take my hand
Why are we
Strangers when
Our love is strong
Why carry on without me?
Everytime I try to fly
I fall without my wings
I feel so small
I guess I need you baby
And everytime I see you in my dreams
I see your face, it's haunting me
I guess I need you baby
I make believe
That you are here
It's the only way
I see clear
What have I done
You seem to move on easy
Everytime I try to fly
I fall without my wings
I feel so small
I guess I need you baby
Everytime I see you in my dreams
I see your face, it's haunting me
I guess I need you baby
I may have made it rain
Please forgive me
My weakness caused you pain
And this song is my sorry
At night I pray
That soon your face
Will fade away
Everytime I try to fly
I fall without my wings
I feel so small
I guess I need you baby
And everytime I see you in my dreams
I see your face, it's haunting me
I guess I need you baby

The Orphan's Friend
Come all kind, good people,
With sympathizing hearts,
Come listen to a few kind words
A friend to you imparts.
Be kind to an orphan child,
And always be its friend,
You will be happy in this world,
And will be to the end.
Be kind to the motherless,
Little motherless ones,
For God will forever bless
You in this world to come.
No kind and loving mother
To soothe their little brow,
Be kind to them always, friends,
They have no mother now.
Be kind to the fatherless,
Wherever you may find
One little one that is friendless,
I pray you all be kind.
For it has no loving father,
To speak with mild reproof,
Or guide its youthful footsteps
In honesty and truth.
Be kind to the little orphans,
They have no parents dear;
Be kind to the little orphans,
Speak to them words of cheer,
Then they will always love you
For kind and gentle words,
Then God will ever bless you,
For He says so in His word.

A Sunday Kind of Woman
I can only imagine for our worlds are far apart
How it would feel to hold this woman mouth to mouth heart to heart
I guess it's a good thing dreaming's free
What would a Sunday kind of woman
A Sunday kind of woman want an everyday man like me.
I've had lots of nightlife women you've seen one you've seen 'em all
And I wake up in the morning and I turn and face the wall
And long for someone special's company
But would a Sunday kind of woman
A Sunday kind of woman love an everyday man like me.
But would a Sunday kind of woman
A Sunday kind of woman love an everyday man like me.

One Night
Released on cd single have I told you lately, 1993
Mike reid, troy seals
Call me a fool
Send me away
Ive got to say
Its you I adore
Alone and in love
Falling apart
I followed my heart
Straight to your door
Face to face
With all honesty
I would be greatful
If youd give to me
One night, to lay in your arms
One night, could it be that I was born
To make every dream you never had come true
Oh oh oh oh
One night, just one night with you
Call me baby
Standing this close
The sound of your voice
Leaves me no choice
Am I so worng
To think ( )
cause baby youre all
Youre all Im thinking of
Face to face
With all honesty
I would be greatful
If youd give to me
One night, to lay in your arms
One night, could it be that I was born
To make every dream youve ever had come true
Oh oh oh oh
One night, just one night with you
One night, to lay in your arms
One night, could it be that I was born
One night with you
In all honesty
Just one night
To lay in your arms
Just one, just one night, thats all I want baby
Oh yeah

Precision of Your Act
'You are cold, calculating, vicious and obnoxious.'
REALLY?
You saw me capturing all that?
Wow.
And you...
Are one of the most honest human beings I've met.
Come here...
I need to speak to you.
Do you have time?
Please have a seat.
You are definitely one I can respect and cherish,
For that assessment.
That was great.
I hope you are seeking a best friend?
Are you?
'Well...
Huh? '
Do you know how long I've been searching for your honesty?
THAT kind of honesty?
Please...
Please,
Let me hear those comments again?
'No!
I'm not in the business of repeating.
Nor did I expect the flow of your sincerity.
OR the precision of your 'act'...either!
I am quite surprised myself.
Why? '
You can not make this more exciting.
AND...
You are stubborn too?
Why?
I don't know!
Why is the sky blue?
How do you like your eggs?
Scrambled with green pepper and onion, I bet?
With a side of homefries and baked Italian sausage?
'Yeah, I do!
How did you know that? '
You 'just' put the 'C' in chemistry for me.
And you have found yourself that lover!
'Oh...
And who said I was looking? '
The connected melting of our eyes.

Something To My Dear Friend (Triolet)
Let your eyes be as usual wild
It only reflects honesty
Do not turn your voice more mild
Let your eyes be as usual wild
It just proves you are still a child
Once in a while little bit naughty
Let your eyes be as usual wild
It only reflects honesty

Her Face!
Face! A kind of identity
She has got his quality
To change her face
In the clouds of grace
I want to see her again
In the season cloudy rain
When her face is watered
Nothing could be uttered
Seeing her face I think
I don't want to blink
But it's shameful eyes
Plays off when she shys.

The Words That I Have Not Written
for the words i have not written
i accept i have been a coward
the moment these words become transparent
in my mind, i always tell them gently
i have not the strength to write you
you have become subjects beyond
my power and please understand
the consequences of having to write
all of you: waiting to be printed and read
like the Sphinx and its riddle before
Oedipus, if i were to write all of you
i may be able to save a kingdom in distress
but please understand what happens to me next
for like Oedipus i may be compelled to pluck my eyes out
from my face
and i may roam the earth begging for forgiveness
throughout my life
because i have been blind by fate for all those years
writing you is honesty
and it is this honesty that may at the end kill me
and so
i am very sorry
