When I want to be alone
I can’t seem to find a cave to hide out,
but when emptiness fills my soul,
echoes of my mind won’t stand beside me.
Sometimes, I think that up is up,
I step out on faith, and end up on my ass.
Seems like my world is upside-down.
It’s so hard to go against the status quo.
Maybe I’m just not standing tall
and fighting for what I want and so I fall.
It’s in me, I see it with my mind’s eye,
so, how does a man give birth to vivid dreams?
Writing
A little taste of heaven
is honey on my lips,
it’s the “secret” I have yet to share,
it’s my arms around your hips.
A little taste of heaven
is a friend who truely cares,
your smile that brightens my worst days,
your tender touch to calm my cares.
A little taste of heaven
is connecting as we do,
it’s Tootsie Rolls and finance books,
your matching shirt and shoes.
A little taste of heaven
has a new flavor every day,
I hope that you can taste it too,
amidst life’s bitter-sweet journey.

I want to touch you, my love,
where the sun seldom shines.
I want to kiss you in ways
that would just blow your mind.
I want to love you with all
of my heart and my soul;
want you to feel how I feel
’cause I feel so… oh…
(C)
Superman leaps skyscrapers
in just a single bound,
but I can take on the world;
no one can knock me down,
’cause your love, the best drug
I feel like I’m a superhero.
(2)
A single compliment will
keep me smiling all day.
Fueled by your heartfelt hugs, girl,
nothing stands in my way.
Your smile is like the sunshine;
it dries up all my tears.
Your kiss, the kryptonite cure,
chases away my fears.
(3)
I’m hypnotized by your eyes,
that’s my Achille’s heel.
I’m at home in your arms,
home is where my heart lives.
You have the freedom to come
and go as you do please,
but I just hope you choose to
come back home to me.
Well it’s been ages since I last wrote anything in my blog, be it music, writing, or just my thoughts, but I haven’t been idle. I have been writing periodically the old fashioned way, but I thought it was about time to share it with others.
Lately I have been very interested in writing song lyrics, and I decided to work on an “album” of sorts. I call it Virtual Reality and it is basically about love and life. Oddly enough, I don’t have much of a love life at the moment lol - hence the title. I have been inspired at times and had ideas come to me, but these will be songs that are mostly fictional. It’s about what I hope for, what I want, and maybe what I’ve had a taste of. Daydream embodies all of the above. Enjoy

You haunt my dreams
but they’re not nightmares, oh no.
I hear you scream
but not in terror, it’s, oh,
so sexy-sweet…
and in my mind you have my heart.
(C)
Your touch - incredible.
Our love - unbelievable.
This is so tangible.
Don’t wake me from this dream.
(2)
I’m man enough
to be a boy and love you (baby)
just as you are,
with perfect imperfections,
so I daydream
about making you happy… yeah.
(3)
You pinch me (ouch)
and I wake up to your face,
your loving smile,
and your heavenly embrace,
so I daydream
and live with you, so happy… yeah
– work in progress –
Sometimes I feel like all of the world is in the palm of my hand,
but more often, I feel like an orphan.
Sometimes I feel like my happiness and my joy will never end,
and sometimes I feel like I’ve lost it.
Sometimes I feel the flow of the music of life deep in my veins;
Sometimes I feel numb as nonsense.
Sometimes I’m wrapped up in love and am floating, flying high as an airplane;
most times I feel oh so lonely.
Sometimes I wonder where all these wonderful words come from,
but sometimes my mind’s mouth is quite quiet.
Sometimes, I am an even-keeled, calm, collected, cool cat.
Sometimes I’m a manic maniac.
I hear you laughing in my mind
and miss you terribly.
Your voice repeats;
it’s like a dream,
but it’s a nightmare to only dream.
I’m on the border of insane and insecurity,
and I pray, and hope that you’re okay;
I don’t know what to think or feel or say,
except
that I am truely sorry.
We were once birds of a fragile feather,
and circumstances have forced us
to fight and flight.
Our wings,
now worn and weathered,
have me worried that
our bond has withered away,
and is beyond repair.
But I hope to find my way back to you,
at least to make amends,
because it shakes me to the core to think,
we won’t ever again be friends…
Here’s another draft of the instrumental. The melody is basically the same. The song is very simple. I’ve just filled it out more, mostly with the right hand. If anyone’s out there, let me know what you think.
Listen to “Heart to Heart (Draft 2)”
I also made a few edits to the lyrics too.
(1)
I sit and I pray,
“Dear Lord,
please take all my fears away.”?
I hear your response,
it’s, “No,
I’ll give you courage instead.”?
“Step through to the truth.
Have faith;
I’m just an arm’s length away.
Reach out to me, please,
trust me,
and have a little faith.”?
(2)
I’m frozen in fear,
but my mind,
is like a raging hurricaine.
Can’t focus on faith,
or love,
and my hopes are fading away.
It’s all a bad dream,
it seems,
that my dreams die every day.
I walk with you and
it still seems
I am so far away.
(3)
“Beloved, calm down,
I hear,
the cries of your heart when you pray.”?
“Find yourself in me,
come, rest,
and cast all your cares away.”?
“Leave them at my feet,
and leave,
count your blessings every day.”?
You know what I found?
My God!
My fear has been replaced!
(4)
Lord, don’t leave me now.
Mold me.
You’re the potter, I’m the clay.
I still need your help,
you’re my hope,
in this battle every day.
More mountains to climb,
to claim,
for your kingdom, in Jesus’ name.
Please, help me progress,
persevere,
press on towards that great goal.
Okay, so it’s later I worked on those lyrics a little, and a title popped into my head. Got it to a point where it’s presentable. If anyone out there actually reads my blog lol, please comment. I can think of at least one person who will probably have something to say about it. Anyhow, I encourage you to listen to the draft of the instrumental and read along at the same time and you will get the feel for how the song goes.

There’s something beautiful
in a heart that forgives,
and it’s wonderful when you let go
of past pain and shame, and
give those who wronged you
another opportunity to truely live.
There’s something marvelous
about an unselfish heart.
It leaves me speechless to witness
your generosity, gentle grace, and
how you turn giving into a living, breathing art.
There’s something strange
in a heart that loves.
I just don’t comprehend what triggers
your words, acts, and emotions,
which mold you, bold as an eagle,
docile, and peaceful as a dove.
There’s something exciting in a heart that knows God.
To know that you know, and no one can take that away!
And the bliss of not knowing how God will bless you and others today.
And yes, I’ve decided, there’s just something about you!
Though my feelings are fickle,
of this much I’m sure:
There’s just … something about you
that I absolutely adrore.
