"The Inspiration I Can Be"
 
I wonder if I'll drive a car or someday become a star.
I can dream and wonder how it will feel.
Will these bruises ever heal.
I entertain and feel fame.
I dare to dream to make the fans screams.
Will I here the fans reaction or will my matches be full of action.
Will I be great or will I be full of hate.
Will I be the heel or will I be the real deal.
Will I be lazy or will I be crazy.
Will they look foward to me or will they be to blind to see.
The Inspiration I can be.
Just think about your health and be yourself.
 
-Rik Lira (2003)


"Live Free"
For All Those In Need....
I'll Plant You The Seed......
Give You The Magic Plant....
That Will Set You All Free....
  -Rik Lira
 
"Imagination"
Follow The Map...
To The Dreamland Station...
Do Whatever You Want...
In The Imagination...
 
    -Rik Lira
 
 
"Over You"
 
You Tell Me You Love Me...
I Love You Too...
You Break My Heart Once...
I Forgive You...
I Make Up...
So Do You...
Ppl Warn me...
Don't Go There...
Your Blinded, Can't You See...
She's With Another Guy...
They Tell Me...
Clearly Her Type...
I Don't Know What To Do...
I'm Hurt I'm Not All Right....
We Make Up...
I See You Don't Love Me...
I Tear...
Our Relation Ship Falls To Shreads...
Days Pass I Still Love You...
I Share Alot Of Feelings...
None Which You Appreciate...
I Follow In The Path Of Fate...
You Blow Me Off When I Said Wait For Me...
Turns Out Ppl Were Right....
They Said You'd Break My Heart....
Far Apart We Stood All Along...
When You Relize You Made A Mistake To Leave Me...
It Be Too Late...
Days Pass And I'm Over You...
Your Rude And Uncaring...
Won't Xcept You If I Tried...
Day By Day We Grow Apart...
You Made Me Look Like A Fool...
It's Been Far Too Long...
I Quit...
I'm "Over You"...
              
-Rik Lira (2004)
 
 
"Won't Let It Pass"
 
Sitting Down Doing Nothing...
Standing Up Your Doing Something...
Saying Things That Aren't True...
Day By Day I Hate You...
 
You Say I'm Gay...
I Tell You I'm Not...
Your a Fat Pig...
I Wish We Had Faught...
 
You Spread Rumors That Make Me Mad...
I Was The Only Friend You Ever Had...
Now You Have No One To Talk Too...
You Can Only Relie...
On Uttering The Words Good Bye...
 
I Hate You Forever...
It's Not going to Change...
I'm So Clever, So Watch Your Steps...
Don't Forget Your The Ass...
No One Likes You You Perverted Bi*ch...
Forget It I Wont Let It Pass...
 
-Rik Lira (2004)
 
               
"Slipped Away, Within The Second Day"
 
Regular Day In The Life Of A Boy...
Thinking Stays Constant In His Mind...
No Idea What Will Happen...
Signs Up On A Bus For A Trip With A Band...
Next Think He Knows He's Holding A Hand...
 
The Long Day Exhausts Him...
He Knows He Must Sleep...
So He Sits With A Girl, Head On Her Lap...
There's No Better Way To Take A Nice Nap...
 
He Closes His Eyes...
No Idea Life Will Be Changed...
Gentle Kiss To The Lip, His Eyes Open Quick...
Virgin Lips She Chose To Take...
Are Gone, Not Fake...
 
He Makes A Decision, In 48 Hours...
As He Chooses To Give, More Than Just Flowers...
He Gets To School, And The Hour Hits....
He Writes A Letter His Ideas Click...
 
Sibbling Comes With Bad News...
And Tells Bro The Story...
He Says She's His, He Has Nothing To Lose...
For He May Choose...
 
Sadness Fills The Boy's System...
As He Knows He May Have No Chance...
The Girl That Once Filled His Heart....
Has Danced Her Last Dance...
 
She Tells The Boy The Story...
It Hurt's Him Much More...
It's A Stab In The Back...
He Feels He Must Roar...
 
Time To Settle Down...
Just Not With A Smile...
The Girl He Once Loved, Has Left For A While...
The Boy Felt No Power...
Over The Girl That Slipped Away, Within The 48th Hour....
 
    -Rik Lira (2004)

‘Birth Of Emoetry’

Thousands Of Feet I Have Already Fallen’-
Into This Deep Trance People Like To Call ‘Love’-
Lots Of Men And Women Have Been Crushed, Left Heart Broken’-
Hope It Doesn’t Happen To Me, I Want To Stand Above’-
Above All The People Who Say, "I Couldn’t Possibly, I Wouldn’t"’-
Above All Those Others Who Say I Shouldn’t’-
If Falling In Love With One Special Person, Hurts Many People’-
Why Doesn’t It Hurt Me Even A Little’-
To Think They’d Support Me And Guide Me Through These Changes And Moves’-
They Hurt Me Even More, Than If This Girl, I Were To Loose’-
It Crushes Me And Bothers Me Inside’-
Though This May Seem Like A Hate Ride’-
Those Who I Offend In This Little Thing I Like To Call Emoetry’
There Is No Hate To You All’-
You Inspire My Poetry’-

--Panic Prank--

Somewhere Out Of No Where, Some Kids Played With Our Surreptitous Relationship…
Today Was A Nightmare, My Eyes Would Drip…
My Breath Was So Rough, Wow It Was Fast…
While Trying To Figure Out, If This Day Was Our Last…
My Throat Got Tense, It Swelled Up Real Bad…
It Was This Horrible Hurt, Like One I Never Had…
Seeing You Cry, Drenched Me In Tears…
No Doubt It Showed, Our Greatest Fears…
The Prank Was Foolish, No Doubt It Was Mean
But We’ll Come Back Together, And Wipe There Minds Clean…

Those Silly Little Kids, May Know How To Lie…
But In Our Hearts, We Know We Won’t Die…

–Rik Lira


‘Apart Of The World’

What If You Were Lying In A Hospital Bed Not Knowing If You’d Live Or Die?’
Unable To Recognize Your Family, Nor Say Hey, Nor Say Bye…

What If You Where The Elderly Couple That Wished To Be Young Again?’
But There Was No Wish Granted, And You Could Only Pretend…

What If You Were The Abandoned Boy Left Starved And Unfound?’
And You Had No Choice But To Drop Dead To The Ground…

What If You Were The Mother That Found Out Your Son Was Dead?’
And He Died While Still Fully Cautious, Not Asleep In His Bed…


What If You Were The One With The Burnt Up Face?’
And All Your School Mates Made Fun Of You, For That And Your Race…

How About You Be Not One Of Them, But Be The Person That Helped Them To Smile…
In This Upside Down World They Felt They Had Left For A While…

 -Rik Lira

‘It Made No Sense’


It Was Like A Shirt Made of Stone…
Like A Celebrity Yet Unknown…
It Was Like A Beach With No Water…
Like The North Pole But Yet Hotter…
It Was Like A Human Without A Face…
Like A Criminal That Left No Trace…
It Was Like Going To Prison Yet It Meant Your Free …
Like A Lever You Pull That Grew Like A Tree…
It Was Like Math Without Numbers…
Like The Alphabet With No Letters…
It Was Like A Mirror With No Reflection…
Like A Store With No Selection…
It Was Like Hair that Never Grew…
Like A Stranger We Once Knew…
It Was Like A Town With No Rain…
Almost Like Living With No Brain…
It Was Like A House Built By Crows…
Like A Movie Theater With No Rows…
It Was Like A Restaurant With No Employs…
Like Children That Hate Toys…
It Was Like A Bee With No Stinger…
Like A Phone With No Ringer…
It Was Like A Wash With No Rinse…
Like Me It Was, It Made No Sense…

-Rik Lira


"Quick Love"
Feet Are To Walk...
Papers To Fold...
Tongue Is To Talk...
And Your Hands Are To Hold...

Your Eyes Are To See...
Our Hair Is To Much...
You Make Me Feel Free...
Your Lips Are To Touch...

Arms Around My Body...
Angels Watch Above....
Life Would Be A Party...
If We Shared Each Others Love...

-Rik Lira


"In My Little Bubble"

I’m Inside A Bubble…That Somebody Blew…I’ am A Human That You See Through…

Away In This Bubble…I’m Trapped Inside…There Is No Room In Here…No Room To Hide.

Still In This Bubble…That Everybody Sees…They See The Sparkle But Can’t See Me.

Away from Land…I’m still Trapped Inside…Only Air Is Guiding Me…Sorry I Lied.

Away From Grace…Ready to Collide…With Another Bubble On The Other Side.

Who’s Inside That Bubble…I Can’t Really Tell Who…But I Know For Sure , I Love You…

Inside A World Now…That You Created…I’ve Left Your World Now…Myself Has Faded…

Away From Love…I’m Buried Inside…I’m Held From Holding…My Body Has Died.

Inside My Soul…That Someone Reached Through…Our Past Is The Ghost That Will Stay With You.

Away From Life…I Watch You Sleep…I Visited Your Dreams…In Peace So Deep.

Inside A Bubble…That One Of You Blew…I Am Your Angel…THAT SOMEBODY IS WHO??

The Bubble is Clearer…It Feels Like It’s Been A Year…My Vision Looks Better…And Your Beginning To Appear…

-Rik Lira


"Something Worth Feeling"

--
Was He Nervous Or Was He Scared? --
--Is She Willing? Or Was She Dared? --
--It’s A Feeling He Can’t Explain--
--It’s Lost Time He Can’t Regain--
--He Feels Kinda Lost As She Passes By--
--So He Only Smiles, There’ Is No Hi--
--If It’s Just A Beginning Feeling Why Hasn’t it Passed? --
--It Feels Like A Feeling That’s Sure To Last--
--How Could We Be Different, If We Didn’t Even Know--
--That Facts Of Life Upon Us, Are The Facts Of Life That Grow--

--Being In The Same Environment As You Is Truly A Blessing--
--It’s Something I Hang On To, It’s Something Worth Accepting--
--Thank God I’ve Been Living Each And Everyday--
--Wondering What To Do Next, Especially What To Say--

--Your With Me When I’m Alone--
--It’s In My Head In Which You Roam--
--There’s Something I Feel When You Look Me In The Eye--
--The Times Of This Are Rare, Though The Limits The Sky--
--Never Felt Your Kiss, Never Once Held Your Hand--
--Thought It Be The Perfect Thing, To Step Into Your Land--
--Come Into Mine, To Experience Something New --
--We’d Float Away Together, Throw Space And Water Too--

--So Was She Nervous And Was I Scared? --
--Were We Both Just Not Prepared? --
--Together We’d Be Willing--
--And Forever, I’d Still Care--
--There Be Nothing To Be Nervous About And Less Things To Fear--
--If Love Had Only Found Us, If Love Would Just Appear --

What Are You Thinking, Where Do You Go? …
When Someone Like Me Is Waiting, For You To Someday Show…

"Tostartanew"

She Came To Me In A Night That Only Would Whisper...
I Cried And I Lied In Which Only To Hear Here...
I Looked Around And I Found Two Close Friends...
I Became Not The Same And I Yelled At My Girlfriend...
In A Place To Replace What Was Forgotten And Lost...
With A Pick Or A Stick That Would Defrost This Frost...
She Went Against Her Will, But Still Did Nothing Wrong?...
And It KilledBut Yet Built, Something So Strong....
It Was Good There I Stood Awaiting An Answer...
There Were Rules Then Some Pulls That Destroyed Us Like Cancer...
We Had A Guide And She Fried The Uncertain Thought...
And We Dealt And We Felt Like We Shouldn't Have Fought...
Now We Realize That The Size Of The Argument Was Small...
And You Know And I Know That We Aren't Gunna Fall
There's A Time And A Place Where This Has To End....
And We Must Move And Improve This Girl And Boyfriend...
There Came Times Then These Rhymes That Were Written By Heart...
Then A Race To This Place That Allowed A Restart...
There We Did And Got Rid Of Our Horrible Past...
I'm Confused Yet Amused That This Story Will Last...

-Rik Lira

"Be Held And Behold"

If Only You Would Have Known Your Time Was Limited...
It Only Hits You When You Lose It...
When What Was Never Heard Was What You Never Did...
You'll Only Feel It Once You've Lost It...

When You're Missing Someone...
You Only Need Them When You Don't Have Them...
When You're Defeated, Watching Them Run...
You Let Them Go You Never Grabbed Them...

"When You Hold Them Be Held By Them..
When You've Held Them, Behold What You Have..."

-Rik Lira

"When Dream and Life Align"


An Illusion in my Confused State of Mind?

A Truth Viewed Within an Illusion?

An Error Existing in a Chapter of Mine?

A Story Written Through Confusion?

 

Fate Can Be Unpredictable in its Beginning Stages-

Vividly Revealing Itself towards its Ends-

Illustrated in Colorful Pages-

Dreamt Bends-

 

Visit Another World While Lying in Bed-

What You Knew no Longer Exists-

The Life You Live, Temporarily Dead-

What You've Created is Imaginary Risk-

 

A False is Made by Human Mind-

A Place of Comfort and Peace-

When Dream and Life Align-

 

-Rik Lira


"Believe In 'Blur"

'Earth'

Even On Vacation, It Never Stops…

The Thoughts Of Responsibility, The Ticking Clocks…

Put Anything Out There, In Theaters And Malls…

Place A Sign, Something Provocative In The School Halls…

Do What You Want, It All Won't Matter…

Good Has Forgotten, Good Won't Gather…

Evil Has Spread But It Isn't A Big Deal…

Dirt Is What We've Become, Dead And Dirty Appeal…

The Wind Will Keep Blowing, And The Dirt Will Still Spread…

Earth Will Be Lost, In Time So Dead…

Every Man Is Blind, To What They Have Become…

Man Is Going Backwards, Cave Men So Dumb…

When Will Man Take A Stand, To Uncover What We've Tossed…

Will We Do Anything? Blur Is What We Lost…

 

'Blur'

Blur Is A Place, That Exists In My Mind…

Where All Is Perfect, A Place Lost In Time…

Blur Is A Place, That Is Full Of Wonder…

There Are Still Places We Missed, There Is More To Discover…

Blur Is A Place, Where All Is Pure…

There Is No Need To Fix, There Is No Need To Cure…

Blur Is The Place, Money Or None…

We Believe In Fair Trade, Not Food For One…

Of Course All Was To Perfect, Life As A Dream…

This Place Never Existed, Or So It Seems…

Where Did They Leave To, Where Did They All Go?

They Were The Believers, They Were…

Heroes…

-Rik Lira

"1 a.m. Once Pure, Always Polluted"    



What is unpure, can never be purified.

What is already done, is heavily fortified.

You can't erase, what you've already seen.

You are another society swallowed bean.

 

Even if you hide, you can never neglect

When it comes it'll come, when you least expect

When you don't want to look, you always manage to turn back

It's a habit you have, one you'll never lack

 

Once exposed to it, you might want to seek more

Because once you've seen it, you've open this door

Behind the door, is a long narrow path

One with no turns or backs, more vulgar baths

 

At this very second, I do not know what you are thinking or seeing

I get these ugly thoughts, an unconfortable feeling

All I can do, is instill my trust in you

And wish I could know, what I never knew

 

You can hide things away from me, be secretive as a fossil found

I'll uncover what I find, and imagine your secrets and sounds

I'll put pieces together, to find out your past

And it be a hate you'd want gone, though one that is sure to last

 

Be truthful and continue your caring ways

And our love will be strong, for the rest of our days

 

-Rik Lira


"I Don't Know"

 

I do not know, what you've seen, heard, remembered, or forgotten

I do not know, what you've dreamed, learned, gave, or gotten

I do not know, what to trust, do, be, or overcome

I do not know, how to forgive, forget, what could be easy to some?

I do not know what to read, view, keep, or change

I do not know what many words mean, whats clean?, to throw, or rearrange?

I will continue to trust you for as long as we let us be

Trust, Hug, Kiss, and Love Me!

 

-Rik Lira
