FOREVER SKIES by JRC

Forever Skies
Raised hands, closed eyes
Can you TAKE the time?
Can you GIVE the time?
If you fit the crime,
Will you run away?
Living, breathing device
Would you care to say...
These skies will go forever
But how far will you fly?
How far will you soar?
How much will you try?
How much are you begging for?
Are you there, or are you sleeping?
Do you see the forest weeping,
Shedding leaves like tears,
Rain, wash away these fears...
Can you TAKE the time?
Can you GIVE the time?
With your raised hands,
And your closed eyes,
Will you ever notice
These forever skies

LIKE YOU by Jeff C

LIKE YOU

i used to be like you,
dead stares in darkened rooms,
thoughts were without hue,
even the ocean couldn't bring
a strong enough wave
to match what you've been through...
i used to be like you,
chained necks and wrists were scarred,
behind wrought iron bars,
even the sun couldn't burn a hole
into your sad, sad eyes filled with tar...
i used to see like you did,
sorrow stuck like glue did,
mouth taped and muted,
rage couldn't be computed,
i used to be like you,
remember all the broken hearts,
now they're mended,
except your's,
your pain extended,
you hurt like you depended,
on the stars ripped open tendons,
to lift you back up again,
but i remember now,
i used to be like you
