Image Of A Man


Image Of A Man 

By John M Lennon 

Wash away all that you can it is still in the stains of blood that you stand
Alone he set and cried 
The pooling of the fear was never seen, as he kept it all inside
Each tear was one more drop into the sea he was trying to navigate 
Under the cover of a wicked smile, he lied
As a man no one could see him
Pooling until it was finally in this pain he cried 
Tears forming as blood in his hands 
Showing how much he could take was never part of the plan 
Now all but lost because the image of a man

Darkness I Fight


Darkness I Fight 

By John M Lennon

The words I write 
Challenging my mind as I fight 
But here they unite 
As its pen to pad in this darkness I fight 
Seeing the rhythm to the rhyme 
Each word wrote as it is my time to shine 
Out smarted only by the confidence I lack
But here I am fighting right back 

Walking Away


Walking Away 

By John M Lennon

Heart broken, still in love 
Left with no one to hug 
This is now the story from which I wish to unplug 
Heart filled with pain 
My tear's pouring like rain 
Soaking the pages written each day 
Burning of the words you left me with that day 
Now only trying to look the other way 
All but lost, when I fell for you that day 
Now the only thought is you slowly walking away

Lost Fight


Lost Fight

By John M Lennon 

Letting go 
Blow for blow 
How much further can I go 
Darkest just before the dawn 
Twenty third hour is what I'm working on  
The Suns warmth, A comfort in my life
Needing just that flicker of light
Wanting to be alright
Seeing the end to this dark night
Slashing at the pain 
I feel a new warmth that stains 
The light becomes so bright 
Seeing what I have done to my own life 
Leaving with… 
One, lost fight

His Road


His Road 

By John M Lennon 

A long drive 
A whisper as the wind whips by 
The cross roads of my heart 
Every mile and memory 
The curves of the road up ahead 
Chasing the sight of you in the high beams 
Singing the songs I sang to you till the end 
So as the tires roar on the road and the rain falls 
Its like the crying of my heart after letting go 
Now all I can do is chase 
Hoping to find the answer to all this pain 
But a million miles I have drove 
With the answers still eluding me on which way to go 
It's the steering wheel I let go 
Letting the Lord take me down his road

Our Story


Our Story 

By John M Lennon

Rags to riches as this lust to love story begins 
Looking at you, wanting more then just friends 
Knowing where each other had been 
Starting out slow this, love would soon grow 
Uncontrollable at times 
Lost in the blinding speed that is life 
Loosing sight of what was the reality of our time 
Each moment leading to the next
Caught in a whirlwind that has made our live's a mess 
With nothing more left to show, then this paper filled with the pain of letting go 
You read this aday too late 
And it's from every second this moment will take

I Am



I Am

By John M Lennon

Contemplating the life I live
Questioning not only what, but who I am
Lost in the dismay
Looking for an out, only knowing one way
Shutting my eyes, looking the other way
Losing the fight… no strength to carry on for even one more day
This is my goodbye
I gave it all
Now I’m just walking away
