RANDOM 14 OLD EDITED WRITINGS MICHAEL

My Reasons

Enough with pretend in many ways
Real with this pen only
Sleepless isn't much to believe in
Meanings of love, life to come
Longing now in body, taken of mind

My reasons will win every time
Why I call on you

From above in your story
This small exchange of want
Need can often defend the innocent
Now, what is this hold of mine on
I hide away what may greet me today
Truth can't be hidden long

My reasons will win every time
Why I wait on you

Bring my happiness I gave to you
Touch my real memories
There I notice you

My reasons will win every time
Why I call on you

........................................................

My Memories Are My Arms

I don't mind old memories
To say of a few thoughts today
To live now and enjoy
I hold this life within me now
To lay here alone as I do
To read of my broken want
My travel of quiet

My memories are my arms

Never would I leave you
To listen along this way of mine
Each new tune would be right
My mind is my own
To treasure, to love, to share
My very night I am alive
For me to live my very heart

My memories are my arms

No one will change me

My memories are my arms

......................................

Look Once Again

Look once again to why
Look once again to your life

Now and forever
In true love and meaning
My sense for your mind
You may never have learned

How you may break
Your deepest need
How you may lose
Your please, you realize

Look once again to why
Look once again to your life

If to think of you
Sounded as rage
I was angry for the truth

In your hands
Your tears to hold
I was unreal without you

Look once again to why
Look once again to your life

Goodbye to you was never right

Look once again to why
Look once again to your life

I Prayed This Way

If I lived here all of my life
This way alone just to love my heart
I did what I like, wouldn't you know
I asked for my way to sit
Listen, watch, dream, be real
I used my understanding, my need to feel
Held my truth to lead me
I won, I lost, I remembered my mind and you
Who was sent for my tears
Who was by my side through the years
If I lived here weak or strong
Broken in pain, cold, warm
One thing for sure
I never let go of you
My writing never ceased to amaze me
You never ceased to amaze me
Surprises never cease to amaze me
I prayed this way

.......................

I Never Had A Dream Of You

I never had a dream of you

I have thoughts of you
I have prayers of you
Love, life in you

I have listened for you
I believed in you
I watched after you

I would see you
I had feelings for you
Needs from you, wants

Words real from you
Your touch from you
Wishes answered true

but
I never had a dream of you

........................................

I Don't Know What I Live For

I don't know what I live for
I don't know what love hurts for
I don't know what I care for
To ask for you, to touch for you

When I think, I think my feelings true
Never sure what to choose
I only pretend, never to understand
Never to understand, only to pretend

I don't know what I live for
I don't know what love hurts for
I don't know what I care for
To ask for you, to touch for you

When I write I speak of my day
When I need noone, noone needs me
When I seek my happiness again
To ask for you, to touch for you

I don't know what I live for
I don't know what love hurts for
I don't know what I care for
To ask for you, to touch for you

For Your Wonder

For your wonder

For your wonder of meaning
I spend a moment on you
How you may see me
Read of me, I answer you

To listen for you
I try to tell you
I try to say I hear you

For your wonder

One person
Written a little of everyone
One person as I
So small yet alive

For your wonder

For your wonder of meaning
I spend a moment on you
How you may see me
Read of me, I answer you

To listen for you
I try to tell you
I try to say I hear you

For your wonder

........................

For Flowers On My Mind

I would never miss loving you
My greatest heart break
My deepest meaning of love and life

For flowers on my mind

I would never live without my first tear
My warmth of sun, why is the sky mine
On nights of sound is missing
I write morning for you to return

For flowers on my mind

There is always time to want you
Alone just enough

For everyone to help me along
I could never forget how
Where I come from now
My only hope so often you

For flowers on my mind

For flowers on my mind

.................................

When I Don't Have You On My Mind

When I don't have you on my mind
I miss the wind
I don't see the flowers, the grass
The sky disappears
There aren't any stars
Clouds are only rain
The delicacy of your love
Whiteness is gone again

When I don't have you on my mind

I don't notice the moon
This life isn't a treasure
My thanks in melody, words
My worth is missing
Sadness continues to enjoy my heart
I hang my head low
Every gift seems meaningless
Everywhere I've known

When I don't have you on my mind

....................................................

In Thought Of You

In thought of my wants
My love to grow
Alone as a better friend

To continue in my prayer
The depth of my wish
If I had one

In thought of you

In thought
To think of you
Always warm true

To answer my crys
To understand my whys

In thought of you

In thought
To see through you
To think of you

In thought of you

..........................

Troublesome Around Your Thought I Stand

Troublesome around your thought I stand
Behind this door I can't move within
Taken through these few breaths I live

Have I my hold to catch
Will you follow in my way
If love gone into what will you say
Where may I turn

Troublesome around your thought I stand
Behind this door I can't move within
Taken through these few breaths I live

Sure life is true in how you are real
Only do you hear when I feel

To see you now, to cry in your heart
To sit without your place of need I start
This quiet you send I won't refuse

Why deeper is it more to understand
To let me walk lost to wake into you

Troublesome around your thought I stand
Behind this door I can't move within
Taken through these few breaths I live

Troublesome around your thought I stand
Behind this door I can't move within
Taken through these few breaths I live

I Have A Star Heart

I have a star heart, star mind
When the lights go out
I reach home bright
For every step I walk
I have a star for my fight
I don't get lost
Offer me only your love

I have a star heart, star mind
I ride in watch of life
What does my real need speak
My true feelings in you
I have a star for my blue
Touch me into your arms
I was gifted by you, gifted you

I have a star heart, star mind

I have a star heart, star mind

...............................................

Now Here In My Peace

Now here in my peace
Isn't this real how I feel
Now here in my peace

Driven of thousands of miles
Is my heart still yours
Our walk together as true

Now here in my peace
Isn't this real how I feel
Now here in my peace

Will my land become green
As I try to live today
My world of you, my thought
On sky turning light believed

Now here in my peace
Isn't this real how I feel
Now here in my peace

Now here in my peace
Isn't this real how I feel
Now hear in my peace

....................................

I Love My Feelings

I love my feelings of you
When my life is empty
To look at what I write of you
Read then how I ask of you
Pure in heart and true
For one day for you to need me
To speak for you

I love my feelings to show you
I learned to travel the lord

I love my feelings to reach you
Change you, listen, then recognize
How I have grown you before my eyes
Inspire you to seek peace
Move you to listen to me
I understand more than you think
In views if different I know
In seconds move fast, move slow

I love my feelings to show you
I learned to travel the lord
