Cornerstone Of My Constitution

Brandon — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 17:01:50 +0000

Throughout the years, I’ve lost my trust in truth.
Now I hold back tears, And I long for my youth.

The weight of those against me, wears thin my resolve.
Still I have no choice, But to fight and stand tall.

The hole I am in, Forever deepens and widens.
It feels like my punishment, For unknown sins.

I am only innocent, For that which I am falsely accused.
My Scarlett letter worn proudly, For which I am abused.

Those who have wronged me, Seem to be above the law.
But there is a higher power, Which judges us all.

I help dig this pit deeper, because I have no fear.
And I know that one day, Crooked cops will lie here.

Raising Rain

“My life is riddled and rife with round robin rouses represented by unremarkable renegade rejects reveling in self righteous rivalries without remorse for raping and ruining my rightfully deserved road to riches -the remedy of which readies to be rectified and released without refrain or reluctance.

However, wrong-doers rarely react so readily to recant when their repugnant and wretched ways rile rallies run by reputed victims wreaking havoc and repaying wrongful acts with redrum. ”

Sorry I had a “V for Vendetta” moment.

Sunrise (“Our New Day”)

I thought I’d kick off my new blog with a song I wrote… Wanna hear it?

Here it goes:

“I just sit and watch And marvel at your beauty.
Never fully describing What you do to me.

To feel you again Asleep in my arms.
With your cheek on my chin, And no hint of alarms.

I could stay like this For a thousand years.
Fulfilling my wish And shedding no tears.

[insert chorus - *see below*]

You seem so at peace When I hold you close
But even in this moment, I miss you the most.

I long to feel your kiss And taste those sweet lips
To spin you in dance With my hands on your hips.

But as much as I long To stare in your eyes,
I don’t want to disturb What happiness buys.

[insert chorus - *see below*]

You caress me gently Even in your sleep,
And I think it’s these things That make me love you so deep.

I feel your breath on my lips As you begin to wake,
And my heartbeat skips. Too excited to take.

When you open your eyes, I feel your warmth again
Like a sunrise, And our new day begins.”

[chorus]
I found love.
I found bliss.

I thought I’d never,
Feel again like this!

I found myself.
I found truth.

I found all I ever wanted,
When I found you.
[/chorus]

This song/poem just “came to me” recently while I was driving. It was inspired by memories of past times, dreams of passion, and hopes for the future. I suppose that I am a hopeless romantic beneath it all.
