Every Time...

Every time...

I know You find my life amusing...
Every time I lie,
Every time I cry,
Every time I fall...

Every time I lie...

I have my reasons,
but don't you know the seasons?
They always repeat,
Into one another's deceit.

Every time I cry...

I walk away seeming strong,
But then my shadow of doubt comes and takes me out.
I don't want you to know me,
Cause I'm scared you'll see,
The real life I tried so hard to hide from you.

Every time I fall...

The confidence shatters,
And the sentence staggers,
Because Every Time You Laugh...


It's my life,
You think it's so easy!
But you don't know my family...

It's my life,
You think I shouldn't crash,
Just because you've never been sucked into that trash...

I walk into my room,
And I see my computer,
But I don't want to!
Because I've already been caught before...

It's my life,
You think love is so simple,
Just because you've had the perfect love and life...

I'll never forget her name,
Because it'll never be the same,
But here I go looking to someone else again,
Even though I'll never gain anything...

Savior

Savior

Breaking down,
You were always around.
Even when I couldn't make a sound.
Comforter,
Deliverer,
Overall lover.

When I couldn't breathe,
And could only see death in front of me.
You were there to breathe life into me.

Worthless wails,
Ring and sting the inside of me,
And puncture my identity,
But you came to save me,
And rebuild my sanctuary.

Once again!
You help me.
But why do I listen to the lies and look to lust and think its love?

-Peter H.

Sandcastles in the Deep

Sandcastles in the Deep

I walk on the beach...
I find you,
Making a sandcastle,
But the waves wash away everything.
I ask,
"Why keep rebuilding when you know it will fail?"
You seemed frail by this unusual trail I made for you to travel.

You stood and asked me,
"Think, if I could make it stay, why walk away?"
You walked astray and drove away.

I looked at the pound of sand and decided to bend and build.
As I built,
I felt wonder,
So I pondered...
Life is like an unending bending sandcastle.
You build and build,
But the waves will wash it away.
We keep building though...

-Peter H.

Salamander Sea

Salamander Sea

Set sail into the Salamander Sea,
But do you see me?
I endure the fire,
And I'm almost to the wire.
But where is the light,
In this dark night?

You gotta spark a light into this empowering sunset flight.
The sea will try to sink your sunshine.
But not this time.

I saw the hurt,
and I saw the pain,
But what did I gain?
The sunshine shines,
And gives me strength.
But the length is too far,
So far...

Hope in tonight,
and take flight into the sunset's might.
Nothing's too far to fly to.
You gotta believe in the sea.
The Salamander Sea.

New Lit Torch

New Lit Torch


It's midnight...
With a midnight waterfall on the wall of your porch and newly lit torch.
It seems it could almost scorch the newly lit torch,
But fire can never tire.
It grows,
High and low.
To make the perfect glow...

Its color flutter in the midnight air,
And sends a flare to all who care that you're there.
It seems to stare wherever it seems fair enough to care,
But it doesn't seem to care about where I bare in the midnight air.

-Peter H.

A Late Summer's Night

A Late Summer's Night

I can feel myself burning
Bright,
in a late summer's night.

I feel the chilling breeze against
My face,
and yet...
I burn, Burn, Burn!
Burning bright; in a late summer's night.

a Raindrop touched my,
desolate hand,
and boiled from my Unforgiving heart.

Then, as if he Himself wanted to
torture me!
The rain poured  and reminded me...
I'm a monster.

-Peter H.

Upside Tide Lands

Upside Tide Lands

Wake to the evening breeze,
Then fly and be free;
Above the sea,
And behind the evergreen trees...

You may find hidden secrets,
And unknown dreams,
Because we survive and dive,
Into a whimsical world,
Full of divine lands.

I will devise a way,
One day,
To go back into that upside tide.
But until then I'll sail away,
And find my own way...

-Peter H.

The Midnight Riders

The Midnight Riders

Let us ride to the top,
Before we get caught.
Let us run until we are taken down.
Let us run until we can't make a sound.
The midnight riders will live on...

We wear velvet metal,
Stained with pirate's blood.
Let us protect the night and destroy light.
Let us wage war and take what is in store.
The midnight riders will live on...

Until our last breath,
We will live on.
Let us sleep until the light passes on.
Let us rest in peace until the time runs out.
The midnight riders will live on...

-Peter H.

Everything Can Mean Nothing

Everything Can Mean Nothing

Mirroring my life,
I finally see the truth,
About everything...

I ever wanted,
But everything is nothing,
When I live for me...

-Peter H.

Great Heights

Great Heights

The great heights of my life,
Shouldn't be about last night,
Cause tonight will be my last night to fly...

The phobia of flying makes me cry,
Cause tonight I can't lie.
All I can do is sigh and let the night ride go by.

Soon the moon will let my eyes reside,
And let the tide come in,
But my heart will still feel like a ton when the night lights look back at me.

But to you,
All you can see,
Is a night to believe;
About the great heights,
And late nights;
The phobia of leaving though,
Will come with you when you get low...

-Peter H.

Dreaming At Night

Dreaming At Night

It seems that life can only give you dreams at night.
Well, except for me as you can see.
Every time I leave,
I can only see the night behind me.

It seems I can only see the night when you lean on me,
But for me to dream,
I only need to think about you with me.

We're special, you and me.
We know a secret that others will never know.
All we have to do is go with the flow,
And then we'll drift off in each others arms...

-Peter H.

Questions and His Answers

Questions and His Answers

Who am I?
Who are you?
How do you know I wish to fly away?
How do you know what I'm going to say?
Why can't you go away?

I'm jealous for you,
Because I love you.
I know you,
Because I made you.
I know you're going to be someone great,
Because I know it's not too late.

-Peter H.

Stubbornness

Stubbornness

Walking down a road without an end,
But it will end me,
In the end.

I know what you said,
But I won't take the warning and keep on going.

Don't pull me back,
Because I won't give you any slack.
I'll just pack up and drive off,
Into Fall Off Street.

You'll wait for me to come back,
But I swear,
This time I won't come back,
Even if my dreams start to wear away....

-Peter H.

Dreams Are Forever Close

This isn't a poem or prayer; it's a song, but a song is a type of poetry. I consider this a Pop song. If you like it and want to hear it. Like it and comment too. Hope you like it!

Dreams Are Forever Close

I remember when I used to hold you close,
and wouldn't let you go,
But those were just memories lost,
In the dark abyss,
Swallowed by our dreams.

Dreams are forever close,
But moments are just once in a lifetime,
So why did I ever let you go?

I kept you so close,
But I never knew you felt so far.
If I had the chance I would let you fly,
Away...

The days seems to go on longer than before,
And it seems the pain won't end,
I was there for you and you were there for me,
But when did you see the other side?


Dreams are forever close,
But moments are just once in a lifetime,
So why did I ever let you go?


I kept you so close,
But I never knew you felt so far.
If I had the chance I would let you fly,
Away...

I said you should fly as soon as possible,
But it seems you forgot your promise.
That you kept so close to your heart.

Dreams are forever close,
But moments are just once in a lifetime,
So why did I ever let you go?

I remember when I used to hold you close,
And never let you go...

-Peter H.

Main Play

I've been stereotype for my skin,
And who I am,
But that'll never stop who I'm gonna be,
Because I can see,
That my life is than just me.
There's a bigger play and you'd better believe cause you're in the main lane.
You think of us as insane,
But believe me,
There's more than just love and lust in one's life dream.
This life can seem like too much for me,
My complications compared to his lacerations stationed on the cross for us.
Man,
Her really paid the price,
For our life.

-Peter H.

Cries of the Night

I hear her cry in the night,
From the pain of the fight.
I wish I could help her,
And say I love her,
But she pushes me away,
And says go away,
But I can't help her win this fight.
God can help win over the night,
And raise the light.
For he is the one who gave you life.

Why can't you see?
He's the one who died for you,
Cried for you,
And overall laid down his life for you.
He beat the grave,
And helped us so we can be saved,
And no longer be attack by Satan's hand.

God is the law of the land.
God is the one who helps us stand,
And walk on our own.

-Peter H.

Where Have You Been?

I've been looking,
And I've found nothing,
But there must be something.
I can feel someone coming,
To free me.

He wants me.
He sees me and yearns me to love back,
But He says I that I lack,
The real reason to look back.

I finally tried to stand up,
But fell back down,
On the ground.
He says you can't do it on your own,
This place is not your home.
You're a stranger,
But you're not alone.

I repented,
Resented,
And bound a struggle that will never stumble.
Cause if I tumble,
He'll be there to catch me.

-Peter H.

Valentine

The thing I need isn't a key,
And it's an actual need,
If you precede.
All I need for a valentine is you.
And yes I need God too,
But it's just about me and you for this Valentine Day.

-Peter H.

The Prayer Confession

Confession

Man, it's been a while speaking to you.
Lord, I feel like I'm through,
And I know it's only between me and you,
But the days turned to weeks,
and every time you speak,
I forgot what you said because my eyes turned,
and went to bed.
I know you're right and I know you're the light,
But I keep fighting on what I want,
And it's just become so distraught.

Lord, I look to the Word,
But my own thoughts turn to the lot,
And make up a story to plot.
Lord, I bend your words to make me right,
But it always turns and makes me learn.
That whatever I do has consequences,
And The Ten Commandments makes me get to my senses.
That this is wrong and you're always right,
And always the light that leads me to what's right.

Lord, I know it's wrong,
But it seems like it'll take too long,
Because every song says this is okay,
And she'll go away if you don't take off,
and fly away.
Every time she's there,
Temptation takes me and tries to make me see,
That it's fine and even better you're all alone.
He said,
I'll set the tone,
Don't moan,
I'm not breaking the laws or bending the rules.
I'm just doing what you think is true,
to you...

Lord, I need you,
To rule my life,
And make an impact on the sight I'm seeing.
You are love and make sure of protection,
Because you're more than a 4 year election.
You were the resurrection,
And no need to mention,
Because I already know you're paying attention,
You know that I'm trying to make a section,
To make my confession.

I've been pushing you out of the spotlight of this relationship.
It was intended to be lead by you,
But it seems the captain and crew didn't get along.
This is more than my song,
Because you've known for too long,
That this was more than just one,
But since you've been gone,
My life has weighed a ton.

Lord, I need you.
She didn't move,
But I did.
I want to regain and tame this ship once again.
Amen...

You Came Home Tonight

You Came Home Tonight

Walking down the gravel path back home,
Makes me get the feeling I get too much time alone.
The tone of the night changers my mind,
So I took a left on Light Pole Avenue.
On the way I see you,
All in blue.
The shock makes me trip on the sidewalk,
Because we haven't talked for as long as I've walked.
So we both took a stroll back home
Where we both used play and make way for the Queen and the King.

Walking back home I hear you sing,
Like the dream I had about everything,
Then wake up thinking about nothing.
The evening blue soon takes hold as
I feel the grass on the front porch light.

The night makes me recite,
About when I was given sight
Of what's right,
and given the light to help the people lost in thought.
