Freak Show Pretty Boys, An Original by Sam LeFleur

Freak show pretty boys

Walking down the street.

More secrets hidden,

Than people you will meet.

Self inflicted wounds

And burdens born of innocence.

Perfect outside

Flawed within

Let the destruction of innocence

And abandonment of identity

Begin 

Still Searching, An Original by Sam LeFleur

Somewhere,

Moon beams your face upon the world,

The winds whisper your name,

I once heard a bird,

Chirp so beautifully,

That I assumed it must be your name. 

The earth spins in tune

With the beat of your heart.

Time doesn’t stop,

Cells don’t halt their division,

And whoever you are,

Your eyes never stop smiling.

You will be the one,

With the song in your heart,

The smile on your face,

And your footsteps

Will bring the ground to life,

And help me dance alongside.

As of Yet Unfinished, An Original by Sam LeFleur

What have I done,

Oh, Heaven and Earth,

With Hell beneath my feet?

I can’t laugh,

I can’t cry,

I can’t find my soul,

I can’t even admit defeat.

My policy of love,

At long last forgotten,

I could never desire it more.

What transpires is thus,

I put up a fuss,

And forget what’s really important.

I’m alive and well,

A few to catch me if I fell,

A handful of personified love.

My family and friends,

A mate somewhere out there,

This is not quite just the end.

Person of Interest, An Original by Sam LeFleur

I mean it when I say

I want to be there for you

A friend, a brother, a comrade

Every word you want to say

I will match with none

Because you are the one

That got me through some

Rainy days

Days without the sun’s rays

Times when I felt estranged

And even sometimes when I felt deranged

You’re sweet and kind

You don’t deserve this pain

Talk to me like we used to

Yell at me if you want

Move your fingers

Or just open your mouth

Let’s grab a beer

Shed some fear

My ears

Are ready and willing

Steps Going Nowhere An Original by Sam LeFleur

Going for a walk

But running instead

The flight of the fearful

The plight of the heart

Versus the head

I can’t return for lack of love

I can’t go on for fear of everything else

Froze in place, nowhere to go

Not even the ground, falling from beneath my feet

Will help me move from here

Forward or back,

West or east,

Where is my next step?

Where can I find enough love,

To slay the brooding beast?

Do I look for another’s heart,

Without first being able to find my own?

Or does he hold it,

Waiting for me,

To find him, and return.

Hopeless An Original by Sam LeFleur

Your prayers mean nothing, of hope and love.

You cant disguise a crow as a dove

Your so called gift from heaven above?

It never existed.

You squandered your wealth

With greedy stealth

And all you’re left with?

Yourself.

Distress

Duress

Future-

Less.

Give it up and let it go

Time to take this with the flow.

The Runaway, An Original by Sam LeFleur

The runaway runs.

Where is he running or why?

Who does he flee this night?

His heart

His love

Or his lack there of?

Tonight he gets up to leave,

Puts on his coat, and heads for the door.

His heart and soul, lonely and sore.

Goodbye to the nameless neighbors,

Goodbye feral cats.

Goodbye to the sassafras trees.

Hello to his path,

Hello to the world, but alone.

Hello to the end,

At the bend of the road,

You won’t even hear him leave…

A Prayer for the Lonely An Original by Sam LeFleur

God...
Yahweh...
Allah...
Siddartha...
Someone...
Please grant me the serenity....
To accept the things I cannot change
To mold my life the ways I can
And the wisdom to know the difference

To laugh when I want to cry
To be able to cry from laughing
To fear only the proven
And to fight the unexplained

To put my pen to paper
And let my soul flow free
To show my feelings and weaknesses
And still believe I'm whole

To wake up every morning
And be the best I can
To realize life isn't just a fling
To take it as my most precious thing
