Talk to Me About…
Talk to me about hope
because I see too many without it.
Talk to me about emotional pain
because it has taken the place of joy.
Talk to me about hate
because it has become too easy to spew.
Talk to me about our children
because what they are learning is unhealthy.
Talk to me about war
Because the innocent suffer the most.
Talk to me about truth
Because I have heard so many lies.
Talk to me about change
because without it we can not evolve.
Talk to me about life
because we are seeing too much death.
Talk to me about loving one another…
Because it is the one thing that can change
all of those other things I want to talk about.

Burn Me
Burn Me! Burn me with your touch
The pain reminds me I am still alive
Suffocate me with you Kiss
It is a sweet death and worth the cost
Cut through me with your gaze
So you can see me for who I am
Take away my memory of anyone before you
No memory is more beautiful than yours
Blind me from seeing the future
My dreams are all that I want to see
Bury me with your love
For only Heaven can compete with it.
***
Love
No monetary value can be placed on love
And with love, even a heathen can change his life
What love puts together can not be shaken
and it is only through love that all good things come
In this life, things are given and taken away
and in the end, riches will mean nothing…
Only Love will remain
