Second Kiss consists of ballets, poems, and expressions of my love for God. It was written to inspire the weak, lonely, as well as to strengthen the meek. We should enjoy life and what God has for us. We need to trust him and stop trying to do his job. If we can love one another, then the world could love itself.

CHAPTER 1
Thank you
* * *
Hey GOD
I wanna thank you
For healing my body
And blessing my name.
You gave me strength
To open my eyes every day.
And I wanna say to you
Thank you.
Jesus I remain
Because of your holy name.
Jesus I substance
Because you took the blame
And I wanna thank you
For all that you do.
We live in your sweet salvation.
And give glory to only you
As we live the word
As we give the word,
We take on all nations
And give glory to thee
As we spread your love
To all the corners of the world.
Silence
* * *
Silence, as I never heard before
The pin drops right announcing its present
It's my essence to occur and accumulate
That power within, so, I fall and I run
To the dark, to the heart.
I shout east, am I here to clear
Weaning in the air, for ones' response
But silence, grips me and not to equip me.
See I have fallen, like all around me.
Into the silence, where no voice is heard
No sight is seen, no presence is felt.
So, I call. It's me again
Keeping my all to see again
Weeping a crawl through a sea
Of them who don't have it.
But I do, even threw the silence.
What the mind makes you do
Decisions and collisions of great multitudes
A stare of illusions when computations are in lure.
It's just a taste of dew drops
Of what it can do.
Imagine a nation into fraction
Send a heart into devastation
Leave a culture into today
That's a mile away and you can't say
What the mind makes you do
Forget the things that's most important
Realize the wise before they fade
Picture the innocent eyes behind the cage.
Jacked up emotions that can't go away.
Leave you post dramatic
With no sense of day.
Where it takes control of the ship
Steady as it go's
What the mind makes you do
Or did it ever let you go?
Engagement
* * *
I saw you standing there
I wondered if you are aware
That I want you here with me
Every time our worlds don't seem to blend
I want you to know I'll always be your friend
And I don't care- who knows
And I don't care- who sees
And I don't care- who wants to be one of us
All that I know, is that I share
All that I know, is that I dare
All that I know, is I want to be a you and a me
Because of what I feel for you.
It comes from the heart and everything that I do
I don't want it to stop ... taking walks among the blooms
And movies in the park, holding hands until its dark
I get lost in your eyes, hugging until I sigh
With this ring I can't deny
I will love you until the day
I saw you standing there.... until I die.
My beloved
* * *
I know any time is right
And my love, I do surrender
To the lord
GOD will provide for all of you
And my love, I do surrender.
Wash me of my sins
Help me return, the faith of man
To honor you.
So, they can feel the highest- high
And walk within the light.
Take me to heavens' gate
Show me the road to stronger faith
When my soul can go no longer
I know GODS the key holder.
Finding you
* * *
We open our eyes to the bright light.
Smiling or crying, but hungry for love
Taking a first breath of your air.
Stretching our voices for you to hear.
If we make you smile and only you knew
What will we become under your son?
We wait a whole life time
No matter the distance, we still come
Our hearts beat as one
When life is done, were coming back home.
We grow our minds and fill it with you.
Loving each other like no one can do.
Extending a hand, feeding the land
Donating our time, towing the line with you in mind
We cherish your heart, your strength and your grace.
It increases our faith in every place.
Knowing the good that you do,
Trusting the path that leads to you.
Finding GOD, I always knew
Finding GOD, without a clue
You never left us, GODS always with us
I always knew.
Used to be mine
* * *
In time a rhyme is created and stated to slow your mind.
Brain washed the finely tuned champion crazed over
Days in which you live every line.
It's your future history that you make love to me. Running cross the
boarders of what used to be
And underground line where your heart meets mine.
And I know that its plan to see what we will believe
Together forever bliss harmony that we will find
And I count the days till that time. No its no,
Mystery no other love could be as well define and
I spend every second of time with you on my mind.
The power to love and hate, I create and image of the
Things that it takes to help me tow the line.
Patiently its' hard to be a vast memory an oasis in
Places that's called your dreams at bed time.
Is it me that you try to find, No, its' no mystery
No other love could be as well define and
I spend every second of time with you on my mind.
Its' your future history that you make love to me
Running cross the borders of what used to be
And underground line where your heart meets mine.
God Saves
* * *
Only GOD can save me now
No other person in the world
Can scream as loud.
And I want to shout.
He'll never let me down.
Forgiving unconditional about the way you
Used to be.
Loving although you don't always take the higher
Road.
See my shoes don't fall very far from your feet.
I didn't go down to know I was already on my knees.
In a place of un-security soul taken blows
Of how life should be.
As if I didn't know that you were there for me.
Living unaware of all that you've done for me.
Only you, only you, only you.
Only GOD can save me now
No other person in the world
Can scream as loud.
And I want to shout
He'll never let me down.
Listen
* * *
Lost is a word
Which I feel.
Alone is a song that I sing
Peace maker please render this
Stress from me.
Love is a word so seldom heard
With truth behind it.
Patients are a clue given to me.
A gift of listening
A gift of hearing
Sadness describes the failure
Which I feel
What court of madness do I appeal?
Joy, my children await my life, my future, my wife.
Still inside, I beat myself.
Until I breathe no more.
A lie which hurts only me.
An anchor to my ankle of a bottomless sea
And then again I can tell only you.
Are you listening? I'm sure you do.
Secrets
* * *
Tell me you're secret
Something in heaven made me wait. One thing I can't explain, for the
pain is too great.
Inside a message that I'll tell only you.
But know that you're gone.
I'm gona lift this weight on my own.
Something made me realize every day that I wake.
One thing I can't deny is that I'll truly find my fate.
So inside I cry, cry and outside I hide, hide.
The strength of a hundred lakes.
I can't tell for these words should fall down upon my lips.
I can't tell, because they'll be a time when I hurt myself.
Tell me your secrets; I need to keep them alive.
I need to keep them alive.
Gods World
* * *
In this life we need some healing
To deal with the problems of the world
There are many roads to choose from
We need the one that we won't loose
GODS WORLD
Makes this a better place
Makes our home a colorless face
For GOD loved the world
For all his boys and girls.
Doesn't matter what you've done
You know you're not the only one.
Try and walk tomorrow with the lord.
He will take you anyway that you come
Doesn't matter what you've done.
GODS WORLD
In our hearts we know right from wrong
As time go's, we need GOD to keep us strong
GODS WORLD
Love
* * *
What I learned of loves suggestions
I live in what we call the question
If you really have known it at all.
Did it take a lifetime of being happy?
Where you sad one day and love raised
Your shades to see another way
And all you seem to say is I cant
Wait to be with you
When my eyes first opened its you
That I want to see, it's you that I
Call to be the forever
By no small measure, I treasure
Your pleasure with sweet dreams of here and now.
Wishing all the while
That one day I'll have it all
As long as love calls.
Fatherless
* * *
My eyes hurt from thinking about you.
Never felt love coming thru
I wonder if hate built a world for lies
A son to a fatherless one an unknown cry.
Dreamed of the days to make you proud
A swolle up chest was not to be found.
Sad smiles a while never was you found.
A son to a fatherless one an unknown cry.
Didn't make a case of an education missed.
An unknown face saying son be patience
As I hasten wasting too much time trying
To run nations home to a boy without family
Relations.
I don't take stock in what you say.
Actions make bones strong and healthy
Now I'm alone half- baked with Hennessey
Wish the world could see things my way.
If only you would have tried tears won't fly
An unknown face saying son be patience
A son to a fatherless one an unknown cry.
Let me
* * *
Count the ways.
When I'm near you
My heart wakes from its sleep
And I touch you
That's when there's shaking in my knees.
That's when my feet began to shake.
See, I'm nervous and I love to kiss your
Cheek.
Let me count the ways
That I need you
Let me count the ways
How I want you in my world.
Let me count the ways
That I love you in my life.
Planed for her
* * *
My heart cast deep, deep secrets,
In the shadow of her sprite.
Saying I can't let go but I must quit it.
Because I can't see the future, that you planed with me.
It's only because you can't believe, the unforeseen
Riddles of reality, build upon a trust that no man can
Plunder.
Love in his heart makes no man wonder what he's
The world is hers without limit.
I know she's mine, I can just feel it.
Tears in her eyes, she can't hide the man she knows
To well unparalleled to voice that she hears in her dreams waken.
Please, you're not the one by my side.
I can't shake this uneasy take
That you maybe my mate. I'm I given up for heaven
Sakes please wake me.
In her arms ounce again, I feel no pain of broken
Heart again. It like she never left.
Another situation or test of fate.
Just need to hold on to my faith.
She cry's again.
The Chance of your Life
* * *
Sitting on the fence as the world goes
Crashing, dying, and lying that all will be well.
For time has its hand bending minds.
Looks like it's going to a rocky situation.
Feels like it's going to be the last time.
And all the mothers of the world
Cry for leaving those behind
Seeing what's to come, which is no surprise?
Instills the word that fights for your life.
For GOD is real and that's the way I feel.
Don't worry I am there no matter how scared.
Ready to fall on one side or the other I
Can't let down my brothers we are one.
Stronger together. Fear not the blunders
It's time to see the world right. Join the Fight with Christ
The chance of your life.
Peace and time
* * *
There's no peace in my mind, world.
We just keep loosen time.
Momentary setbacks push other nations
To the Stone Age. Bursting bombs, lit
Cigarettes do the same damage just quicker yet.
As I imagine world decline all that's left
Is people deny
Stop thoughts crimes peace is the word
At least at this time.
Joy, love, and harmony. People spread sweet
Melodies. What are emotions, instilled in your
Mind, is the bar of time, closed eyes say
Your goodbyes hope for devotion you give me
Yours and I'll share mine.
Stop thoughts crime, peace is the word
At least at this time.
Happiness is just another luxury
Feelings seem to be absent from your mind
And your heart is as cold as stone
There's no peace in my mind, world.
We just keep loosen time.
Trials and tribulations
* * *
Persuasion to unlimited lies, keep you on hold.
Until you die, secrets are kept for hidden crimes
The innocent wept till the end or time.
You tell me false truths say you're my friend.
When times are to teach what are you then.
Some enemies are plans to see, indivisible you
Unto me.
Smile without laughter, joy within pain mixed
Grouped emotions all without gain.
What election do you try, power or will
Weight till the end of time, that's when you fill
My heart is heavy too big to beat
Too weak to carry, this AL some feat.
Trials and tribulations.
Persuasions to unlimited lies keep you on hold
Until you die, secrets are kept for hidden crimes
I'll be your slave if you just follow me
Your brave I'll hunt down anything if you
Say you'll be mine you'll be mine
Ill rearranges the darkness in the skies
Light up the sadness in your eyes if you say you'll
Be mine you'll be mine.
Trials and tribulations.
Fall love
* * *
Loose leaves lie lonely
I seek you only; to fill my bed wild colors gold
And red.
Lay in a pile, I start to play, works done for
Awhile
Fall love, my favorite leaves
Then I'm done, no one to carry me.
All thumbs, it seems to be a whole in the bag
And there's a trail to lead me right back to you.
Loose leaves lie lonely.
I seek you only, to fill my bed, wild colors
Gold and red
Can't wait for cold weather, to receive
Your warm touch.
What time will I give, won't replace life in live.
Fall love, my favorite leaves
Then I'm done, no one to carry me.
All thumbs, it seems a whole in the bag.
Leaves me right back to you.
The message
* * *
Let this be a message to you all.
There are people feeling sad cries of those
Who make us mad, common causes take
Walks to implore are reasons changing seasons
Make us weak and we think of war.
Let this be a message to you all.
May they be a peaceful feeling after all?
We are common causes all clauses to have
Flaws, you just.
Let this be a message to you all. Tell me
Where are the people when you need someone?
To talk to, tell me who will stop the weeping,
Feeling bad, lost to all the people baring
All the crosses. Fragile dreams are all made up.
Let's break the boundaries and crake the earth
Beneath me.
Opulence
* * *
I wonder if they know that we feel the battle to.
Dose it blind the rich to words undefined
Bleeding hearts need help to.
A soldier's song I sing to you.
There sound a march a hundred fold a thunder tune.
Helps time blow, inside the line between good
And bad, all for nothing, all for something.
For troubled minds, for blood has been shed
To come back home and see empty beds
Don't cry a country, but weep a nation
For soldiers were made of GODS' creation
Bleeding hearts need to help to.
A soldier's song I sing to you
How many listen when one cry's how?
The number is countless when war breaks out
I wonder if they knew that we feel the battle to.
Scars and fight, to honor stars and strips
What difference would it make black is still white.
On paper it states, stars and strips
Love and hate, to proclamation.
Sands arisen in the seas of gold, looking forward to
Promises told. Back to a land, whose values are old?
And failing to. They remember only what you do.
There's sounds a March a hundred fold, a thunderous
Tune helps time blow.
Inside the line between good and bad all for nothing,
All for something.
