Monkey Business

It’s a crazy world
in this day and age,
where the only thing simple
is weird and strange.
It’s quirky, different,
and all kinds of nuts.
This place of ours is simple
when you’re simply a klutz.
So which way’s forward,
back, down, and up?
Just follow the twinkle
in the one that you love.
Here, you only have one duty;
be a little bit fun and a little bit fruity.

Searching For Light

Many times I’ve cried for comfort,
yet received no one in return.
So I stumbled into a shadow world,
one they say is of the devil.
I don’t know though. I know
that the devil watches, waiting
to dance with lust in the moonlight.
But maybe, maybe…

I don’t know, I’m not sure.
It’s the only place where solace is sure,
but I’m told it’s evil; the world
they say is of the devil.
What if someone were there?
Would I be alright? I think so,
but I’m still waiting. While
no one is there for me, it is.

I’ll look up and call; I’ll beg
for an answer. Maybe someone
will answer my plea, while I’m stuck in the world
they say is of the devil.
There is time left, I can be strong.
Maybe my strength comes, not
from out there, but from within.
I’ll wait, I’ll wait.

One Ring, One Love

All our life we are told
that our eyes are tricking us,
that there’s illusion in the reality we see.
I’ve never much cared for the sense of science.

It’s not that science is bad; no, no.
It’s that there’s a majestic beauty to the unknown,
a quirky delight in the uncommon.
There is something simply sensational in the irresponsibly insensible.

What is it we see here?
Apparently, we see the illusion of a heart
through the frame of a wedding ring.
But this is science’s sense.

Maybe, what we’re really seeing,
is the importance of devotion.
We aren’t seeing an illusion of reality;
more, reality in an illusion.

Always There

Are you hurt or in a rage,
feeling locked inside a cage?
Are things all wrong and are you sad?
Are you wanting, pained, and mad?

Has the world just passed you by,
left you to suffer as you lie
in the dirt all broken down?
Well don’t worry; you’re not alone.

I’m not the most intelligent man
and I don’t always have a plan,
but when you’re feeling at you worst,
please know that I can ease the hurt.

I’m not a miracle man of wonder,
but I’ll do what I can when you feel under
the bridge, and under the weather;
I am here for you forever.

You are loved and you are wanted;
you are because you’re needed.
The world can be tough, it is true,
but it would be so much harder without you.

So remember, in the darkest of places
light can remove every evil trace.
Bide your time, it won’t be long;
I will bring you back home.

Out In The World

The world is dark, dangerous,
it can be confusing.
The trees begin to look alike,
but they’re not.
You can’t figure which way to turn
as the vines fall down; trapped.
So cover yourself in a film of beauty.
Protect yourself in the satin of peace.
The world will say “you’re in a bubble”,
but it’s more than that. In a place
where darkness lights the way,
you have found solitude.

When Love Caves In

It’s the time you realise
the hopes and dreams you had
for love and a future,
they’re all void.
You see, there is a plan for us;
whether directed by God or the universe,
I can’t say. But falling is
just another part.
It’s life. So what does matter?
It’s how we climb again
after the fall. There is
nothing wrong with love,
but love is fragile and
won’t always work.
So love your best as best you can,
and be happy with all you’ve done.

Fall in love down the deepest hole,
but reach for light when the walls cave in.

True Friend and A.C.

It’s what we all need,
what we all desire.
It’s what gives us the drive
and makes us feel inspired.
It’s basic, beautiful,
wonderful, and home.
It’s what makes us feel alive
when we just feel alone.

You’re not going to back off;
you’ll say what needs saying,
because that’s what I need.
Your love is embracing.
I don’t know who I pleased
or how I did it so that I
could get a friend like you.
But thank you for being in my life.
