I just wanted to love you

Oh how I wanted to show you what true love really is.
Keep you safe in my arms.
Shelter you from all the weapons known on this earth.
Oh how I wanted you to be the king of my castle.
Father of my children.
President of my many hearts.
How I wanted to wrap my love around you.
Introduce you to a world of endless mind BLOWing conservations.
I want to take you to the moon and back.
I wanted to introduce you to the Lord.
Help you get up when the rest of the world watched you fall.

I was ready to let you take the lead role.
Make you a MAN.
A MAN people would write about in history.
I wanted to be by your right side.
Give up my career to help you develop yours.
Help you swim in the deepest oceans.
Sail across the world with you.
Kiss you like I'll never see you again.
Soak you in wealth and endless possibilities.
Give you something to ease your stress,Make sweet love to you.

Oh how I wanted to help you become a man of standards.
Principle.
Class.
A diamond in the sky.
A Man of honor.
Introduce you to my mother,to a world of royalty.

I wanted to feed you.
Help you dig up your greatest talents.
Help you grow.
I wanted to help you grow an empire for our grandchildren and for those that were to come after them.

I wanted to help you build up your account.
Do for you what Nelson did for the people.
Don't get me wrong,I didn't want to change you.
Never did I ever compare you.
Never wanted to upgrade you like B wanted to upgrade J.

I just wanted to make you mine.
I just wanted to simply love you.

There's a war taking place in my mind...

There's a war taking place in my mind.
Turn down these voices in my head.
Kill these evil thoughts.
Destroy these images of the past that roam around leaving scars of pain,fear ,insecurities and loneliness.
There's a war taking place in my mind,and the only thing my body needs
Is...a simple hug.

Drunk on Sands of Time

Drunk on Sands of Time
I've studied my life in slow motion
equipped with photos in frames
Read love letters so poignant
from fellows I can't even name

I've drank the best of brandy
full to the rim with no seam
Goblets of wine called the living
tasting the grapes 'til insane

I've danced a million dances
solved a thousand wars
Wore a hundred hats
but still I long for more

Mother, worker, child
lover sweet as silk
Warrior, champion, loser
the milk's not soured yet

I've watched death be swallowed
life brought in this world
Nursed the aged bitter
held the child scared

Went from rags to riches
kissed the frog that croaked
Studied human nature
slipped the hanging rope

Yet though stretched and tired
form weaving edges frayed
I'll circle, loop and pull the thread
to live this life again

For there's another chapter
another glass of wine
Blue or gray skies swallow me
I'm drunk on sands of time
