Falling on Deaf Ears

Some say its the hand upon your shoulder,

the companion thats there as time renews itself.

The pursuit of our inner most desires

Spotlight, flashing lights, or wealth.


With late night thoughts of someone special,

the one you confess to, it seems to protect you.

you begin to hope they will call,

certain situations they cant call at all.




the perfect imperfection of them all...


Bright stars and great health,

Silent dreams that hope filled

that beautiful smile when victory’s real,

or when water rises to your eyes cause the pain you feel.


Eyes wide shut ear clogged up.

tasteless smells and a numb touch.

Naive thoughts of truth and trust.

now your left with the pieces ground down to dust.


Walk mountain trails, thats never smooth,

So high up, you fall, your stomach drops

reflect on your reflection, over still water tops,

as tears fall your future blurs under a full moon.


Candlelight in a diamond cave,

the shimmer is dull but its there you got to find a way.

you want to enliven your live so you seize the day,

though the nightlife is what drives you thats a high toll to pay.


your words  move but your body’s stuck,

its a crutch.

you see the seasons take there change, 

you just want to rush.


now your loves gone, and your blind from the choices you made,

but in g-d you trust.

so you fall to your knees,

and pray for luck.


Love will...

Love can...

Love is....

Always falling down on deaf ears.
