Your Destination

•  
• If you want to get to Gilmanton NH
• Take highway 93 to exit 21
• Travel past McDonalds and the Outlet mall
• Where weekend warriors venture from out of state
• Where you will find traffic jams and frantic
  drivers
• Trying to make their way home
• Observe the out of stators litter their big city
  ways
• Upon a small town, destine for corrupt growth
• Take a left on to Rt. 140 and go for 10 miles
• Past the beaten down trailer parks
• Where their occupants long for your final
  destination
• Waiting for life to be given to them
• But never willing to work for it
• Notice the changes in houses as you get closer
• From trailer to mansion
• Think to yourself what you want out of life
• And what is important
• Think of everything that you long for

Doors
You open up doors I wish not to see Locked long
ago By a heart stricken key   You think you know
me But why cant you see? I am not the man I used
to be   So walk away And never return I am a
heart broken man Not willing to make a stand

White Wolf
The White Wolf cries out at the rising moon A cry
that lurks the sole and leaves you
trembling   Its beauty will leave you in owe,
longing for more Look into its eyes, and search
for meaning within yourself   Dont be afraid of
it, but rather embrace and understand That you
and it share a common sole, a common life   If
you dont like what you see, close your eyes and
look again For now you have the chance to see
something different   Look to the rising moon

I sit alone and close my eyes Putting my fingers
to the black and white keys I touch them, as I
would a lovers face   What do I play, and whom
do I play it for? For my father and his life,
rapidly becoming mine Or the disease taking my
mother from me   How about a love song? I know a
good one Filled with pain, tears, and regret I
wrote it myself  
Lost Amongst The Black And White Keys
Soon my fingers take over, and I am
found Everything is so clear, everything is ok My
eyes still closed, I smile for what seems like
Forever   I can feel the hammers Hitting the
strings Inside a black hollow coffin   With every
hit A different emotion Lurks within me   My
fingers start to hurt, so I must stop My hand
caresses the keys one last time Before they fall
to my lap

A Photograph I cant forget
  Your hair, like a dream Blowing in the
wind Warm from the sun And softer than silk
Anymore   I threw this picture away Many moths
ago But still it lurks Within me   Its in my
heat And my sole For the life of me I cant get
it to go   This is one photograph I wish I never
took
A photograph is worth a thousand words But do you
ever wonder what those words are? Or what they
mean   When I look at this one of us I
feel Empty   Like a lost child in a crowded
market Crying for his mother Completely lost from
all Hope   I look at it every night My arms
rapped around your waist Your head leaning into
me   The sun was bright that day Your eyes
squinting as it Shined down on us

I Want You To Know
I come to your class Every day Looking for the
answer Which you never say   You have opened up
doors I closed long ago Not willing to open But
you didnt know   When I look at you I dont know
what I see But then again I see me              
You speak of live, love And so much more Maybe
its time I open this door   I hate the fact That
I must go And leave your class With nothing to
show   But before I Leave I want you to know You
taught me More than you will ever Know
