Still Turning (c) 

I keep looking through the blinds
Not knowing what I’ll find.
I keep looking
I keep looking.

I start walking out the door
Can’t remember what for.
I start walking
I keep walking.

I turn left then I turn right
Just trying to get it right.
I’m still turning
Still turning.

Spending much more than I make
Never have what it takes.
Spending my time
Spend all my time.

Think about it day and night
See it all in black and white.
Better think again
Think again.

I turn left then I turn right
Just trying to get it right.
I’m still turning
Still turning.

Looks good but sounds all wrong
Like words to a different song.
Doesn’t feel right
Feel alright.

Never know what the future brings
Tell Daddy everything.
You never know
You never know.

Once upon a time, maybe two
You love someone who loves you.
Save the moment
Save the moment.

Port Hole

 Sitting on the edge of a rainbow

Waiting for the storm to appear.

Thunder rolls toward vast blue skies

The rain follows soon: it is here.

Thick dark clouds swallowing the sun

Icy winds twist your thoughts each day.

Boundless distance: forgotten time

Watch as the stars begin to play.

I got hit by lightning

Just the other day.

The Port Hole opened,

And I couldn’t look away.

It called my name.

Every now and then

We see eye to eye.

The Port Hole opens

With no chance to say goodbye.

You called my name.

Was It Worth It?

You worked all your life to get to the Finish Line

And when you get there ….it feels good for a while.

Now you learn there is always another Line to cross

Paid for by the family and friends you never knew.

 

The question comes up from time to time

Blazing like the sun, mile after mile.

You can’t recapture youth or love that you’ve lost

By repeating a lie until it becomes true.

 

Was it worth it?

You have fame and everything you planned.

Was it worth it?

Would you do it again now that you understand?

Well?

Was it worth it?

 

You’ve earned every dollar, every target you achieved

It was a lot easier than even you had believed.

It’s not hard to get what you want if nothing else matters.

What will you have left when there is nothing you want?

Lyrics or poetry? You decide…

“Nothing but Memories”                                                       ©  MSK 3-2014

 I feel like I have nothing 

‘Cause you keep reminding me. 

Even if I have nothing; 

I have my memories. 

As long as I have my memories 

I will have enough. 

 

You are my everything 

Lost; you keep on finding me 

The Safe and the Mystery; 

Love: knows where it wants to be 

 

Thunder doesn’t frighten us 

Creatures howling in the night 

Would more likely delight us. 

To sit under open skies. 

As long as we have open skies 

The heavens will be free 

 

For as long as it wants  

The reason is “because”. 

Because I’m the one that flaunts; 

I’m guilty of the crime. 

As long as I have my memories 

I will have enough.  

 

You are my everything 

Lost; you keep on finding me 

The Safe and the Mystery; 

Love: knows where it wants to be
