To or from?

My feet take me to places I know
Retracing the routes taken in happier times
As each footstep takes me forward
Into another memory
Each Footstep also allows me to walk away
And leave those memories behind
They no longer are brought to life
By the love and joy they once held
Now they are drained and gaunt
The soft warmth replaced by a razor-sharp edge
Unable to embrace them any longer
What once used to course through me
Giving me life
Leaves me nothing but an empty shell
What happens then
When my feet have left the familiar behind

Why love?

When can you tell if the love has gone?
Is it when the smiles fade to silence too quickly
Or you expect someone to disappoint rather than fulfill?

Is it possible for love to overcome the onslaught
As your feelings are swept away in the stony glare of incredulity
And forgiveness loses its meaning?

Is love true if its focus doesn't acknowledge it?
Does it wither and wilt if not given the attention it desires?
Or is it self-sustaining and eternal?

Does love flow from a spring?
Is it powered by an unending source
And received gratefully?

Is love something that can be demanded?
Will it be forced to do another's bidding?
Is it there to satisfy someone's need?

How can I know if the love comes from me
Or is a reaction to the person that holds my heart in their hands?
Is it validated because I say so or because she does?

Night Tricks

At night, the still air
Carries sounds that aren't there
From places that cannot be
Too far for the eye to see
They skitter and they scuttle
Dark noises in the gutter
Unnatural in the night
Non-existent in the light

50 Cent - Baby By Me

I don't like gangsta rap.

I even like country music more.

50 cent is a typical example of what I don't like about it and this song is too. Maybe I'm just a bit up myself. It couldbe that the hip hop persona is just an act.

If so, it just really gets under my skin and not in a good way!

My favourite exponents are probably Kanye West and Black Eyed Peas who take the attitude but find other topics to populate their tracks other than the violent, misogynistic landscape that seems to populate the majority of Hip Hop and R'n'B at the moment.

I'm kinda on the fence about Eminem but I think his best stuff is behind him.

I find very little to like about 50 Cent's records although by all accounts he's a bit of a charmer in person.

Fiddy can take Diddy and get out of my ciddy!

That Place

There's a place I live
And I place I long to be
Home is an empty word
Though it still tugs at me
I need to keep on searching
Looking to the horizon
I will find someone
One I can rely on
Painful though the moment is
It cannot last forever
A light will break soon, through the clouds
And bring a change of weather
Then I will stand, in new arms
And know I'm not alone
On that day, born in love
I will have found my new home
