If I Could Be
By Will Speer

Dedicated to Angie

If I could be anything
or anywhere
I’d be the wind
I could blow my kisses at you every day
so I could twirl my arms around you.
And I could run my fingers through your hair.
I would bring the rain for you
or make the sun shine for you
if I could be the wind
There’d always be a lovely smell in the air
nothing foul could stay there.
It would be cool when you needed it
and warm as you like
because I’d bring the heat from the fires of passion
and as for where I’d be
always around the one who is
the love for me.
Only if I could be.

My Own Mind
By Will Speer

My own mind betrays me
I sleep when I want to be awake,
the drive is gone.
The vigor of life has withered.
I was in a bubble floating through the day,
now I can’t find the energy to make my way.
I can not say I’m sad,
but I’m sure not glad.
For the past has numbed me,
or does my own mind betray me.
Broken and shattered I once was
my heart merely tumbles like a,house of cards
to see the pieces I once was
broken and shattered.
Here I lay there I lay,
my joy and happiness spilled every which way.
Yet I hold onto my love.
For in love I hope
or does my own mind betray me.
