The Prayer By: Carl The Muse

I have been writing in poetry form on this site since its inception but this was not the way I wrote. Not until life brought me down to my knees, not until the water showed me what I meant to me. From the water in my body to the ones that eventually rolled down my…

Into The Army Of Light By: (Carl The Muse)

What’s next? 2013 Has been a year I will never forget Lost my mother what seems like Just the other day And now three months later My big brother Has passed away He has left this place And again My family is on record pace I admit   At first, I broke down and cried…

The Wish I Wished By: ( Carl The Muse)

Caged until the day I met you My life was full of heartache And absent of truth I remember a time when I had no hope I looked at my life And I thought love was a joke I was laughed at multiple times It was the same script The same actors had the same…

Faith Never Had A Doubt By Carl Johnson II (Carl The Muse)

Faith The thing that says you can make it Even when you see no other way You know you will be saved You just continue to pray And even if not today You know inside You will be saved Faith Faith is sometimes all I had Things were breaking before I could fix them The…

The Coup d’état By: (Carl The Muse)

Never to be replaced No one and nothing Can take your place But I am aware That someone can help fill that empty space And I know that you would want it that way And though I am struggling now I look forward to that day Your love taught me faith And I am ready…

In Time By: (Carl The Muse)

Alone On the road Broken Inside No place to go No place to hide I look to my right There is no one at my side The water has gone off They disrupted the flow The curtain opens No one is there to see the show But still, you gotta drive You gotta do what…

The World Tour By: (Carl The Muse)

You wake me up You make me feel alive You fill me up inside You make me wanna smile You make me feel someone is on my side You will be the engine And I will drive You will be the constant light in my life You will be the reason my days are the…

A Whole New Hue By: (Carl The Muse)

I hear you calling out there And I am coming I am not jogging My heart is already there And my legs are running A wave is what I am becoming A big ball of chi I am suddenly Filled with energy And suddenly even my bad eye can see You have come along And…

When Tragedy Has Become Reality By: (Carl The Muse)

There are certain things I cannot live with I cannot allow confusion between a curse and a gift I cannot live under false assumptions Lies and myths It just does not fit It is just not it Not for me I am unlikely to stay around Deceived Your goals have been achieved You have rid…

Breaking Through Straight To You By: (Carl The Muse)

If I told the truth I would tell you how I want you I’d tell you all the things you make me wanna do Id tell you I am motivated by the thought of you I’d tell you that you are my muse You are the offer Impossible to refuse It is all good news…

When Love Wins By: (Carl The Muse)

Breaking Standing here in the cold Shaking I have been alone for far too long Standing here solo Singing a duet wrong The only one without a date at the prom Its the same sad song I look over to the passenger side And that is when I realize I am riding alone I can’t…

Pushed To The Brink And Still Won’t Sink By: (Carl The Muse)

I only wanted to be hugged loved and kissed And when I was gone too long I wanted to be missed I wanted someone to want me That was my greatest wish The last thing I wanted Was to be treated like the leftover dish Thrown to the back of the fridge The one that…

No Possible Anyway By: (Carl The Muse)

In the trash that is where I will lay Let me be You are the one that threw me away Go ahead and walk away like you did the other day Leave me here laying on the ground Down flat on my face You want the throne? You want to come and take my home?…

No Restless Nights And No More Wasted Days By: (Carl The Muse)

A Beautiful One Of A Kind Thing By: (Carl The Muse)

I miss the butterflies I used to feel I miss the feeling that had me spinning like these wheels I feel like all my momentum has stopped And my tank is empty There is nothing left Not one drop I have run out of gas and everyone around me is just flying past I thought…
