I'm Sorry

I’ve been driving down
The wrong road way to long
Never to much loved myself
As much as you did
Someday I get so weak
Going back to things
I use to
One day the story
Is going to be
Told and I can
Already see the look
On your face
So in advance
I want to tell you…


That I’m sorry
Never meant to hurt you
Never meant to make you cry
But I’m drowning in this guilt
Hurts to think to tell you a lie
I never knew it would
End you this way
Don’t worry one day
I’m going to fix and
Rewrite this story
I’m burning inside
But this stupid pride
Just want let me cry


Momma don’t save
Me this time
-I know
I got to live this one on my own
You thought you had
Yourself a good girl
Don’t worry
One day
I’m going to fix and
Rewrite this story

Restroom

Where have you gone?
This is not the place for you
Take this day and just fly away
I’ll meet you in the clouds one day
But take this day and just sail away

Long days on the road
I could feel you thinking of me
But all I could think of was
Stealing away to a restroom
From drugs to smooth jazz
From his bed to mine
I stole away to a place where life
Could not find me
I took the needle from under the sink
Filled with its majestic power
And guided it to the pumping of my veins

Where have you gone?
This is not the place for you
Take this day and just fly away
I’ll meet you in the clouds one day
But take today for it’s your last
And just sail away

Many nights I sung to a sold out crowd
With heroine pumping through my veins
And when my old man came in
They knew it would be a break
We stole away to the restroom
Three minutes later I was back on stage

Where have you gone?
This is not the place for you
Take this day and just fly away
I’ll meet you in the clouds one day
But take today for it’s your last
And just sail away

The Chapel

Remember it was on a Wednesday
The Chapel was near
So we went along
Hand and hand
To capture the moment

It was all so dear
Was it dear to you
As it was for me?
I got lost in your eyes with just
A glimpse of your smile

Rain began moments in
Together you and I
Looking out at the gloomy day
Once so bright but rapidly it faded away
But in your arms the sun continued to shine

It was all so dear
Was it dear to you
As it was for me?
I got lost in your eyes with just
A glimpse of your smile

Hearing each others heart beat
Along with the thunder
That roared through out the clouds
Took me back to a place of innocence
When I once was a child

It was all so dear
Was it dear to you
As it was for me?
I got lost in your eyes with just
A glimpse of your smile

It wasn’t just the brightness of the lightning
That drew me closer to you
But in your eyes I saw the sun and a new day
You’ve captured my heart
Finally you’ve won my love

My heart and I

My heart and I
Longs for you
In the quietest moments
When only our thoughts
We can hear

My heart and I
Has never felt this way before
No one else has ever
Stopped us and made
Us long for more

My heart and I
Desires you from
Within the marrow
Of our bones
My core thirsts for you
Like the cold for its winter

Awaits you, my heart and I

Entourage Malice

Anixety Emerges
Brown paper mess
Introduced in mix glasses
Trapped Spanish flesh

Controlled remote
Kissed lightly
Along the forehead
Driven emotions erased

Finished sorrow
Un-scored by gentle seven
Distracted silence
Entourage malice

4 Streets

If only they can see
What is meant to see
But there will be a time
When the sun will
Fly over the moon
The stars will twinkle
In the colors of the rainbow

The wind will blow
In shapes and hues
But not all will see
Only certain eyes shall see
Thunder shall roar
within the clouds
Transforming the earth's atmosphere
Fresh water will fall upon the land
and the faces of the old and innocent

You Are

I've been waiting
For something all my life
Never knew quite what it was
Something that makes
My world seem okay
Something that makes
My heart beat faster
Something that makes
Me laugh when I want to cry
Everywhere I go seems
To remind me of someone
I never knew
Finding your love
I found a dream
When things seemed to go bad
I found you
You are all the things
I never knew
You are the morning star
That brightens up my life
Who would ever think
My dream would come true
You are the wind that
Carries me on when
The road seems long
You are the gentle kiss
That lifts me up when
The lonely winters seem to long
You are the only reason
I had to go on
Who else would have
Believed in my dream
Finding your love
I found a dream
When things seemed to go bad
I found you
You are all the things
I never knew

Chills Destroy Me

I got years before me

Just for you

Chills destroy me

I got your picture before me

Now I lie awake

Smoking the tears away

I'll just hang around with the

Strings of my guitar

What am I to you?

Chills destroy me

Here's to you and yours

What am I to you?

Just whispers in your ear

Or your biggest mistake

A piece of your rose pedal

I still hear the wedding bells

In my ear

Before you can feel your

Biggest mistake

Chills destroy me

I got a lover man sitting

Before me

I shied away

I should have kissed

You in front of her

What am I to you?

Chills destroy me

Here's to you and yours

What am I to you?

Just whispers in your ear

Or your biggest mistake

A piece of your rose pedal

In a Moment

doubt it seems
yes i believe
cold it bleeds
rain it pours
lonely and afraid
young and alone
waiting and breathing
faith it works
yes i believe
it is truth
faith in action
yes i believe
my savior lives
yes he do
above the clouds
yes he rests
in one day
they may say
her body destroyed
but i say
my soul lives
in the arms
of my king

Ravish Me

I use to love the smell, the scent, the sense of death
What a great experience it would be
Talk about it, thought about it and wrote about it
Dying to me would have been life
Now I curse death at its roots, limbs and leaves
The only dying that captivates me is dying to self

Ravish me oh Lord
Turn the old into new make me more like you
Any day will do, one day with you is like a thousand years
Come in like a hurricane, like a flood
Destroy this creation, wash and empty me new
You the potter I'am the clay
Break me down into nothing
(Dust born, dust reborn)
Shape and mold this empty soul into your image
(Born dead, now I die alive)

Conqueror

..bound and taken

wrapped up and shaken

beat and battered...

i am more than what they perceive me to be

for i am a Conqueror!

the ability to dream and believe

to stop time at the hand

alive i felt again

i am more than what they perceive me to be

for i am a Conqueror!

-edit the language truth or not

300 thousand miles away-

Transparent

you make time for those

dare you say you care

bootleg religious man

i see behind your eyes

i'm not blinded this time

I Live

I don't live because I want to but because I have to
I don't enjoy the struggle but I take the struggle in pride
Not because I live for it, but because I'm living the struggle
So the one's after me don't have to live the struggle so.
I don't live because I want to but because
There is a purpose I most follow
A purpose I must endure

I was born and died and reborn again
For a reason and that reason
Was for you, the lonely, the abandoned, the lost, and the spiritless.
It's my greatest appreciation to live on
In time when I feel as if I'm dying
And in the night I lay awake crying
Then I think of you...my reason, my purpose.

taken from the book of poetry "Art of Innocence" by L.R.Hatcher

Waiting for Thee

My heart hurts for thee
A cherished broken gem
That has been deprived from me

Long lives the word love
Sweet as honey dew
Dripping from the heavenly heavens above

I shall see the heaven
Because heaven knows my name
It calls for me
And says to me, “Love shall you see”

I know that it exist
But so distant
I can’t truly believe
Just as the desert thirsts for water

I thirst for the love gathered today
But yesterday I went.

Live On

Never knew
The kiss of
DEATH

Would taste so
SWEET
Until the volt

Of my wire
Plugged in the
Socket of you.

Alone

All night

I struggled with the thought
Of giving up the ghost
And freeing my soul
Into the land of the unknown

I waited for you
And your presence
Was never shown

Alone

In a damp cold and dark room
With the ability to
Take life in one hand
And give life in the other

Alone

The Oak Tree

I am the one
You have beaten and hung
Smirked and foolishly laughed
As you was doing it along side of your men
I took it as a man, as my father did before me
You and your buddies played like young boys
And I knew your time will come

My soul watched as you hung me
On that tree beaten to death
Blood running from every end of my lifeless body
I watched my last breath
Puff right out of my own mouth

You violently took your whips and sticks
To my hanging, proudly black, soulless body
Until the skin of me fell
As if I was an animal being slathered
To the hot and dusty grass
Under the Oak Tree
The Oak Tree that still bleeds me

It Bleeds

It Bleeds- Running down the body,
Sure satisfaction from the illusion of interaction
-Of reality
False imprisonment
Longing
To
Be
Free
Before Eternal Imprisonment
-It Bleeds

Over There

Nothing to console the inside madness
Anger hidden and rumbling like a monkey in the jungle
Tight fist pumped in the air,
Black is beautiful but everyone seems to be chasing the primary colors
I cant be denied Im riding on cloud nine.

Forever is never, tomorrow is yesterday, today is tomorrow
No job but chasing a dream to bad some dreams fade on some people
Or that some people fade on the dream
Fade away my ole lonesome soul
Im finding great cheer over there behind the bookcase.

Carnage

Tomorrow is not a promise
Today soon fades
In the land of yesterday

Life is uncertain
And this is for certain
The sun rises and sets
On the land that bleeds.

Night falls
The sound of running soldiers
Crossing in the path of the enemy
Touching only what they can
And what they can not see.

Songs of the heroes
Cry loud with a crack
In their voice
The choice of dying or living
Is not an option

With their voices low and bold
Praying to God for help below
Here, passion lives and dies in
Seconds of the carnage.
That will soon arrive and death
Will be as a mirror.

Just as the wind blows
A soldier falls
Just as the season’s change
Another mother plants her seed

back into the ground.
