Suddenly I'm No Longer Attached

Suddenly I'm no longer attached,
And there is something inside of me
That welcomes that.

Years of my activities,
And concern...
Would leave me quite frantic.
Feeling overworked, strained and burned.

I am satisfied with those things I've tried.
And making a footprint no one can deny.

Everywhere I placed my steps,
Not one did I do without dignity and pride.
I need no one to qualify my stride.
My mark has been placed,
Before and not behind witnessing eyes.
I seek no approval for my deeds neglected.

I'm not awed by applause.

My functions have been upfront.
And for some the intent,
Has been meant to be most personal.

I'm not a backside biter!
And that is a fact!

Suddenly I'm no longer attached,
And there is something inside of me
That welcomes that.

That You, Father.
As long as You are pleased!
With me and deeds I've created,
You have helped me make to leave.

You've Attached Yourself to Me

You've attached yourself to me.
For purposes you choose to keep...
Discreet and secret.
And unconfessed.
As if to suggest...
Your intentions are nothing more,
Than to deceive with an intent...
I will come to disbelieve,
This is not the intention meant.

You asked how I would feel,
If from you I became detached?

You've attached yourself to me.
My peace of mind from me will not leave.
Since you had nothing to do with that!
Remember...
You've attached yourself to 'me'?
And I'm too honest with myself,
Not to recognize...
Manipulations that arrive,
With lies expressed in clouded eyes.

God Is...My Audience

God is...my audience!
If my Father is pleased...
No applause do I need,
He has a way to make that known!
I am shown.
And this alone excites me.

I do not seek any other approval.
Or standing ovations.
With looks of adulation sought.
To appease an ego I need to feed.

My mind is satisfied,
When 'something' inside...
Let's me know,
My Father is right there...
By my side.

And 'if' my Father should get upset...
He does not stop loving me.
Or burden me with regrets.
And teased I am not,
By what is outside of me!
My identity I do not hide.
There is a pride God helps me grow!

If God accepts...
I can endure the dejection that may stun some.
And any rejection directed towards me,
I will take and overcome.

God is...my audience!
And I am very thankful,
He has allowed my performance!
For what it is that is done in His honor!

Lifted From Deep Sorrow

You came to leave.
Not stay.
You came to do as you pleased.
And then when you were done,
You were off to another one to 'do'.

You came to leave.
I was hoping you would stay.
I wanted to believe this was your wish.
But you just came to sniff and lick.
And I held onto foolish dreams...
You could not fulfill if I wished!

You came to leave.
Not stay.
You came to do as you pleased.
And then when you were done,
You were off to another one to 'do'.

I sat thinking of you,
When you were gone and through with me.
I wish I could not feel you grieving.
But I do!
I was just like you...
Before I cut my pain loose.
But your pain,
You desire to keep remaining in the gutter.

You came to leave.
I was hoping you would stay.
I was hoping...
Something you saw in my eyes,
You would recognize...
Had been lifted from deep sorrow.
But you never looked up...
To witness my approval of your 'business' visit.

I was satisfied...
Yes!
But never regard me,
As a client wishing for your return!
I am seeking someone to specialize my needs.
And although you are good...
I do not think of you as the one to qualify,
As a fireside companion!

When my embers burn...
They do so,
For the one who chooses to stay...
As we together ignite those sparks.
And you...
Are just a quick flicker.
To leave me ablaze,
Before you decide to go out!
And I am no longer about that.

I have a lifetime of logs left to simmer,
For the one who comes...
And enjoys what we can together sizzle!

My Tasks Are Deeper Than That

It is not from a core,
Heated with an ego...
I wish adored.

My tasks are deeper than that.
My approach to life,
Keeps my ancestors intact.

It is not for adulation,
I crave to taste.
Or applause to acknowledge,
I have talents gifted...
From an unseen higher place.

My tasks are deeper than that.
My approach to life,
Keeps my ancestors intact.

It's a fact I respect my ancestors tracks.
I feel their spirits around and in me.
As if from one tree...
I am a limb with them attached.

I am here to succeed.
Not to accept defeat.
Or feed frustrations,
That stagnate my reach.

My tasks are deeper than that.
My approach to life,
Keeps my ancestors intact.

Impatient with waste.
And with those who procrastinate.
No excuses do I make...
With those who fake life.
And seek ways to escape.

I am here to succeed.
Not to accept defeat.
Or feed frustrations,
That stagnate my reach.

And no emotional limitations,
Will interfere with my deeds...
In a preventive escalation.
That within me,
Gets no empathy.

I'm not here to sob and weep,
To have insecurities of others...
Stop this stride in a movement I keep.

I am here to succeed.
Not to accept defeat.
Or feed frustrations,
That stagnate my reach.

And it is not from a core,
Heated with an ego...
I wish adored.

My tasks are deeper than that.
My approach to life,
Keeps my ancestors intact.

It is a fact I respect my ancestors tracks.
I feel their spirits around and in me.
As if from one tree...
I am a limb with them attached.
And these deeds from me I promise to deliver!

If It Offends

I awakened no longer beholdened,
To those emotional traps.
The kind that others leave,
With expectations...
Something done I did disliked,
Eventually to have me feeling guilt ridden.
And I would then offer an apology.

I awakened no longer beholdened,
To those emotional traps.
Or do something done,
Without being consciously attached.

I use to be the one to forgive and forget.
No matter who said what to me.
To show no concern or expression of a regret.
And I would laugh when publicly,
I was shown nothing but disrespect.

I awakened no longer beholdened,
To those emotional traps.
The kind that others leave,
With expectations...
Something done I did disliked,
Eventually to have me feeling guilt ridden.
And I would then offer an apology.

Well those days do not exist for me anymore.
I say what I mean and if it offends,
I let others know immediately...
Being provoked I don't consider to be a joke.

Just Do Your Deeds and Be Done With It

Just do your deeds and be done with it.
Why struggle against ignorance...
When the force of it,
Can create powerful setbacks.

Just do your deeds and be done with it.
Without the need to seek attention.
Your deeds done will speak for themselves.
Leave them to do what it is to benefit!
And go.

Those living to fulfill an ego,
Will never understand...
Why their lives lived,
Have less peace in them!

Just do your deeds and be done with it.
That is all The Almighty requires.
And this 'Deity' is the judge of your soul.
No other opinion does The One solicit!

Just do your deeds and be done with it!

Often Awed

A doer of good deeds,
Isn't sitting to receive accolades...
Heard,
In thunderous applause.
Thinking what is done is deserving of it.

A doer of good deeds done to do...
Is often awed,
That what is done naturally...
Gets any attention for those deeds done,
That pleases the giving of the doer...
Whose choice is the choosing,
Of the doing of those good deeds to do.

Father and Mother

As you Thrust yourself
Long and Hard in me
Pray to the Almighty
That you can Impregnate me
And my womb welcomes
Your seeds inside me…
Ushering in our baby
At the end of its
Nine month journey.
Making a ‘father’
Of the man in you
And a ‘mother’
Of the woman in me.

The Comedy Of Age

The years are starting to catch up to me
Graying temples is what I see.
My youthful appearance has gone astray
As I turned the other way.

What happened to my younger years
When I was bold, brave and had no fears.
Has life rewritten every line
And I’ve fallen behind the times.

In my youth I left my mark
Now to old age I will embark.
I will kick ass - like I’ve always done
As long as I can get up and face the sun
And if the day comes that the sun no longer shines
It must have climbed up my behind.

Maybe it went to join I.B.S.
And is searching to give a test.
I will let old age pass
The same as I do with my gas.

I will let it blow in the wind
So you can have a whiff my friend.

(ha-ha father time welcomes you)

You Are Nobody With Claims to Make

You are nobody,
With claims to make...
Unless you have sacrificed,
To lay down,
Some beneficial good deeds.

Even 'then' those who have done it,
Are not seeking attention...
To have themselves pleased.

Too often people like these,
Sit in proclaimed self grandiose eloquence...
Convinced their efforts,
Are overdue for praise.
In an expectation to appease their own needs.
Under-rated and overlooked,
By those ungrateful...
Some self serving,
Have gone out of their way!

You are nobody,
With claims to make...
Unless you have sacrificed,
To lay down,
Some beneficial good deeds.

Even 'then' those who have done it,
Are not seeking attention...
To have themselves pleased.

But those with desires to be 'somebody'...
Will prepare to make their proclamations,
Heard by using bullhorns.
If it means disturbing a tranquility!
To arouse a public with their embellished falsities.

'May I have everyone's undivided attention!

Thank you.

If not for my loyal and devoted disposition...
None of you would have known,
Who to see or where to go...
Enabling you to receive your coupons.

Useful to redeem for discounts...
On your purchased necessities.
To which I am sure they are enjoyed.

It was I who initiated that movement.
And deserve your welcomed applause.
If so given.

Only with deep felt humility...
Do I come to satisfy your curiosities.
And yes...
Although I am reluctant to admit this,
It was I who initiated that movement.

Carry on.
Carry on.
Carry on!
There is no need to overwhelm yourselves,
With bewilderment!

Afterall...
I am not running for any electable office,
Suddenly discovered open and available...
To have someone fearlessly represent you.
With understated humility.
IF that possibility in your future should occur!
I am not.
I repeat...
I would not be so incline to accept such an offer.

And even if I should be so approached,
By an assigned committee concluding their research...
Of my qualifications and background.
And...
As a coincidence,
I have brought along a few copies of my bio...
With testimonies and references attached!
For those who may express an interest when time allows,
To televise any suggested interview wished...
I will submit,
To be thusly scrutinized in such a manner.

But let me remind anyone within the sound of my voice...
That I...
Am only here,
For you!
YOU are my only concern! '

~Who is that? ~

*I have no idea!
Not a clue whatsoever.
But I will say this...
He is certainly going out of his way,
To be remembered.*

~I thought those coupons were printed,
For anyone to use in the local newspaper? ~

*They are.
At least once a week! '

Yours Truly

Sometimes when I look at you,
I wonder why youre here with me
Im not the perfect lover,
And theres other things Id like to be
You never asked for my applause,
I want you to know
I am yours, truly yours
Because, because, because
Im yours, truly yours, truly yours...
Ill never leave you all alone,
Too far to touch your skin
I dont know where the story goes
Or even if it did begin,
I go to the ball, you sweep the floors
In every way
I am yours, truly yours
Because, because, because
Im yours, truly yours
Because, because, because
Im yours, truly yours, truly yours...
So suddenly, you tell me,
In words that will hold me
As long as the light from the stars,
Fill your eyes...
You never asked for my applause,
I want you to know
I am yours, truly yours
Because, because, because
Im yours, truly yours
Because, because, because
Im yours, truly yours
Because, because, because
Im yours, truly yours, truly yours...

I cant leave you but I know you cant stay
I never thought our love could end up this way
And I cant imagine livin life without you now

And I know its ova now so darlin help me out

Just love me today
Whisper youll stay with me
Just softly as you walk away

Just give me one more night to make things right
Cuz I dont beleive that you wanna leave
And end this way

No longer can I resist Your guiding light

Quietly

Quitely explodes your love
Your insecurity is so soft to me
I cant let you bleeding
We are falling into us
I see you dyin in my eyes
Just let it all go
You left
So am i
We go insane
Just let it all go
You left
So am i
You leave on inside
Quietly we arrive
Your insecurity is so soft to you
You cant let me bleeding
We are falling into deep
Im dying in your open mouth
Just let it all go
You left
So am i
We go insane
Just let it all go
You left
So am i
You leave on
You leave on inside
So you care
Leave them on
So you care
Leave them on with a shine
And you cant go on with your life
Its a fact we cant deny
If you have to go, please go quiet
Please go quietly
Just let it all go
You left
So am i
We go insane
Just let it all go
You left
So am i
You leave on
You leave on inside
Let it all go

Army Brats Lament

I’m always outside looking in
at other folks togetherness.
I do not know where to begin
to cancel out my loneliness.

It seems I’ve always been alone
I am so shy I just pretend
that I am happy on my own.
I am afraid I might offend.

If I attempt to just take part
without someone inviting me.
So usually I must depart
nobody wants my company.

But not tonight: To my surprise
I am the focus of all eyes
and everybody welcomes me.
I’m inside where I want to be.

I’m on the inside looking out.
I see the world quite differently
No longer paralysed by doubt.
I am accepted readily.

So if you’re outside looking in
just try your best to catch my eye.
This is a battle you must win
don’t stay outside because you’re shy.

I’ve said farewell to loneliness
I am a player in life’s game
Just show a little friendliness.
and you can surely do the same.

A simple smile your passport to
the inside where you want to be.
It’s not so very hard to do
I managed it successfully.

Inside I Am With You

Inside with You, My Lord.
Inside to shoulder and release tensions.
Putting aside my own intentions and stubborn pride.
I'm inside with You.
This I will not deny!

Inside with You, My Lord.
No Longer plotting to fake escapes.
That take me no where,
At all.
I have fallen to get up to stumble.
To stand again...
To feel incomplete.
To crawl was what I needed.
I needed to hear myself plead!

Inside with You, My Lord.
I can not deny I have criticized You.
Slandered and blasphemized Your name.
How insane could I have been?
And You still held me close...
Until I felt You inside me from within.

I cried and cried until that day I found You.
And myself.
Renewed with a different attitude,
Of 'things'
I thought would attract love.
But I didn't have that.

Only You are there...
To provide all my desires.
Inside I am with you, My Lord.
That is so true.
Motivated and inspired to reach for heights.
I am happy I recognize that,
At this time like no other...
In my life!
The one I live and like.

The Second Journey

Each generation knows the pain,
As loved ones leave us with the strain
Of mourning when another dies
And hot tears flow from teary eyes...
But life's a journey meant for love,
Before we fly to God above
And all the good works that we do
Are merely saying, 'I love you! '

We copy those who've gone before,
So that love lives from shore-to-shore,
Throughout the centuries we've known,
This precious faithful love is shown...
Father-to-son and passed on down
The Christian faith that bears the crown,
That foretaste granted here on Earth
To those who know the Saviour's worth...

Death merely parts us for a while,
Despite its sting, despite its guile,
Eternal life, God's gift to Man,
Extends beyond this mortal span...
That's why there's hope as tears subside,
We look to Christ, arms open wide...
For God the Father, God the Son
Will reunite us one-by-one!

And when we meet, for meet we will,
No longer old, no longer ill,
No longer pining day-by-day...
As Jesus bids us all to stay...
We'll bid farewell to all our tears,
To all our foolish doubts and fears,
As Jesus welcomes us, we'll sing
Our sweet Hosannas to our King!

Suddenly

Suddenly, I have eyes that now may see;
That which I never fathomed before, now may be;
Suddenly, I have ears that now may hear,
Which call me toward you, without any form of fear;
Suddenly, I have a heart, no longer coffered-
That longs for the love, you long ago offered.
Suddenly, I have a soul that needs for its mate,
Which embraces the exaltation she does create.
Suddenly, my mind is unafeared, and in accord;
Any further resisitance is something I cannot afford;
Suddenly, mere sight of your visage takes my breath away-
Thought of a life lived with your grace keeps death away!
Suddenly, I am a humble appreciant, and in awe
Of the love I feel in my heart, which has not, a flaw!

An Unmentioned Intention

If I stopped to qualify the love I felt for you...
You would not feel it as I'd wish you do!
Busy would I be describing emotions meant.
You'd see me in frustrations sent...
Explaining each line of a changing document.
Each time a change occurred,
An amendment scratched...
Attached to blur an unmentioned intention.
Replacing 'that' with yet another fact.
If I stopped to qualify this love for you...
It would keep us distant.
And you would not believe it,
If it goes unknown.
Leaving us to live alone with it not shown!

Never To Be Burned Again

You gave it.

You told me I had rated.

Not like that and that's a fact.
