It just stuck
Inside my ears
The melody rang clear
Concise and proper
The song I have to admit
Was quite a show stopper
Such a wonder to behold
A song could produce such gaping holes
In the psyche of mankind
Womankind
Any kind
Words piercing and true
Untied the ropes of ego and self esteem
All undone
In just one
Song
Sung
Radiant blue on crisp white
Bright
Bridges at night
City comforts on the side
This time
This night
My wife and I hold tight
Clean cement under warm winter skies
Our feet tap the pavement
Like full bellied
Petite
Mice
We balance love work and
Life
Tonight
The music lights up the street
The notes entertain the ears
Hopefuls walkin time to keep
Our fingers dance and vocal chords harmonize
On a Nashville kind of Friday night
The lost will
Unwilling
Filled with uncertainty
My own will
Now lacking in motivation
To keep forging forward
Through uncertainties I am facing
I hope to never back down
Face the crowd
Hold on to the ideals of a crown
But at the end of some journeys
There is a state of contemplation
Exempted from no hopes or joys
Embattled with corrupted kill joys
I have to pick myself up
When other clearly would enjoy a takedown
Unwilling to fall in
Give in
Carry on
Sing a song
But for now the road seems distant and long
I can not deny the challenges ahead
With ever ounce I gather I give
To be found alive rather than dead
The greatest challenges
Undermine the weakest minds
Land mine
Underpinned in time
Joker of the rhyme
We had our chance to escape
And we did
Into home base we slid
Eyes closed
And off we go
On a journey that knows
No boundaries
It just flows
We are more water than wood
Slide through the alleys
And completely misunderstood
Eyes like burning emeralds
On Florida Street
After the big shows
All the world knows
How those eyes glow
Flicker and grow
Dim buzz of the engine
In this car we sit in
But those eyes
Beautiful eyes
I know
I love
Our skin may weather
But eyes never grow old
In a city of eternal growth
We hold hands
And make a story our own
Under the Capitals lights
Rising up into the sky
Armored city
In the night
White
Illuminated
Beneath a dark night blue
Holding hands
With plans
Of me and you
We share moments of growth
Rejuvenation shows
In the city that knows
No boundaries or barriers
Standing on the Capitol stairs
Share your story
From failure
To glory
Mornings evenings
How the birds sing
Make my ears ring
With hope and truth
The story of you
Become a bell of monumental strength
The life lessons you have gained
Contained inside and share with me
Your Story
A concern for the flippant
Out of control
Not quite with it
Skillful dismantling
Of the building hesitant
Space made imminent
I act with we
We must act manually
Connect rather than annoy
Hold hands and stand tall
Instead of hates deploy
The word we use to unite
Instead of looking for a fight
In a year 2016
Of light
Falafel evenings
Mediterranean food past midnight
Staying alright
In Washington DC
Capitol eternally
Approaching life literally
Past 11:30
On Thursday
Or Friday
Any day
The truth in struggle
The struggle of truth
A Cup of Songwriting
