Never Really Left

To me it's like you never really left
It seems I've had quite a few dreams into which you've crept
I feel surrounded by your presence
Always within your familiar essence
Thank you for committing to my life improvment
Even though our separate realms are so far from congruent
I believe that apart we shall never grow
For I am unable to let you go
I know your capsule has expired
But it would appear that it was not required
Our connection is stronger than is this life
A delicious fruit, forever ripe
I swear I'll never take a bite
Until the day my soul takes flight

Greener Pastures

I once swam inside your being,
Focused so close I wasn't seeing,
So upon leaving I left myself,
Or at least a portion on a notch of your belt,
I'd like to call it my donation,
To the not-for-profit for sensation,
You taught me the most important lesson,
That love can be used as a weapon,
So I attempt to use it for only peace,
In hopes that one day this hate will cease,
For lying never helped a little boy,
Who found a wolf to engulf his joy,
I've since moved on to greener pastures,
Where every monster has his captor,
I now live the life I love to lead,
And lead the livers to love with me.

Live Right

I'll chase my dreams like kites chase the breeze,
But I will not be tethered my flight will be free,
Live every second as if it's my last,
Never look back for what's there is now past,
Hope for the best but plan for the worst,
An ocean of possibilities and my unquenchable thirst,
Look to the sky hear the heavenly choir,
Reach for the stars only to pull myself higher,
Drink water so clear out of only glass's half full,
Take every push and always remember to pull,
Be the best that I may but accept that I've sinned,
For when it's over I'll drift away like a leaf in the wind.
