new. and improved?

so I felt funny calling mine a blog when it was really just a website, or very narrow archive of some of my writings. so I had two options:

1. rename this my 'website' or 'very narrow archive of some of my writings'
2. make it more like a blog

well really I had three options:
       3.   keep it the same and call it a blog anyway

I chose the second. so now we've got poems and songs and other writings along with my random rantings and insights. may even add some essays. links. and I have a couple colabos in the works, too. so stay tuned and grow with me!

Mr. Wizard

Yours Truely

I tell em I'm not tied down; they quickly become elated.
I tell em not to be becus I am not tryna date em.

For Your Eyes Only

I wish you could hear it. It's jazzy. I like it.

Verse 1
Come and let me tell you how I feel
Tell ya bout this feelin so unreal
I knew one day I'd find anew
A love so true
Enclosed my heart, but babe you broke the seal

Refrain
And I don't really want nobody else but you (you)
And there's no way to explain what it is you do (to me)
But I know I like it
No way to deny it
I just know that whatever you want I'm willing to-o

Chorus
My world is opened reluctantly
But it opened up to you easily
This one must be heaven sent
What you see is what you get
Mine is a lifetime guarantee

So come here baby
Tell me what you want from me
Your wish is my command
Let me take you by the hand (just)
Understand that what you see
Is for your eyes only

Verse 2
Fell in and out of love long ago
Wondered if it ever could return to my soul
Relationships came and they went
Words exchanged but emotion unspent
I tried before and doubted now I know

Chorus
My world is opened reluctantly
But it opened up to you easily
This one must be heaven sent
What you see is what you get
Mine is a lifetime guarantee

So come here baby
Tell me what you want from me
Your wish is my command
Let me take you by the hand (just)
Understand that what you see
Is for your eyes only

Bridge
So in love with love
Could only hope I'd find the one
Who could reunite me
With the love that I seek
Once I looked no more
I found you, now I'm sure

Refrain
That I don't really want nobody else but you (you)
And there's no way to explain what it is you do (to me)
But I know I like it
No way to deny it
I just know that whatever you want I'm willing to-o

Vamp
This one must be heaven sent
What you see is what you get
Your wish is my command
Let me take you by the hand
Understand that what you see
Is for your eyes only

Is for your eyes only

Be My Angel

When I need a little help
Even when I think I don't
You provide me with your insight
Removing known and un-known hurt

Others offer cliched wisdom
Fortune cookie remedies
But yours are new words chosen
To cater to me and my needs

And that's why
I want you to be my angel

(hook)
I know
That this life is my own
But this road
Is not to be traveled alone
I need a helpmate
To walk with me to the end
And it is you babe
Who I choose to be that friend

Many friends have come and gone
Many have helped me through my pain
But it is you who seems
to right the wrongs
Caused by life's unyielding game

An angel unmoved by my preference
Here to protect each part of me
A peace whole, pure
And unselfish
This is what your spirit brings

And that's why
I want you to be my angel

(hook)

And should our time come to an end
I will be okay
I'll know you're there for me
Through anything
Your lasting spirit will remain

That's why
I thank God that you're my angel

You will always be my angel
