Didn't Match

As it stands
No one knows my name
But it doesn’t matter
I’d still be the same
Even if they did
I would still live the life
I live
I wouldn’t hesitate
To give 
In the way I always have
To friends
I have yet to meet
Or those I have yet
to know
But even so
The deeper you go
Is like a well
Is there water there
It’s hard to tell
Until you make the effort
Or until you really try
Is there water
Or is it dry
Until you spread your wings
You won’t understand
The sky
Until you question
Or wonder why
You still won’t know
My name

I'd Never Dare

I was staggered

To Hold Onto

I didn’t come
To this world
Only to learn
That the only
Way you earn
Is through love
I wasn’t born
To enter a world
Divided and torn
I came here
For love
I learned from
The scorned
That the way to truth
Is a perilous path
Having to deal
With other’s wrath
Where you have to
Fight and scratch
Just to survive
Just to stay alive
Or at least until the day
You arrive
Where you’re alone
Feeling the need
To atone
For all of the pain
Left by those
Who were here to gain
And not to love

Not To Love 2

Ever Know

A Moment Alone

Any Other Way

Once Had 2

It Was Done

If I don’t get it right
This time
I’m coming back
If I don’t get
My mind right
I won’t be able
To ask
Why am I here
Again
I’ve been here
For a thousand times
Or more
I’ve been rich
And I’ve been poor
I’ve lived in a palace
I’ve worked in a store
I’ve been a slave
Who wouldn’t behave
I’ve worked on ships
with countless trips
Around the earth 
But for what it’s worth
No matter what they were
I know for sure
They all came to an end
But I’ll keep coming back
Unless I tend
To whatever appears
And face the fears
That come my way
Each moment
And each day

Coming Back

I don’t know
How to say it
Much plainer
Or how to
Make it
Much saner
But right about now
It’s about pain
And how it arrived
One day
And I couldn’t
Figure out
The way
It got in
Like an unwanted
Friend
That wants to stay
When you want them
To leave
It was hard
Hard to conceive
How I could put up
With much more
Having to pick myself
Up off the floor
And keep going
Each day
Feeling so poor
And praying
For a way
To be healed
It had been too much
And couldn’t stay
Another day

Another Day

Someone asked me
If I had a wish
What would it be
I gave it some thought
And answered with this
I would wish
For the end of war
That would be the
End of it forevermore
I would wish
That all men know peace
And the kind
That would never cease
Lovingkindness would
Always increase
And that science
Would cure all disease
I would wish for that
And a whole lot more
The hungry would get fed
And we’d tend to the poor
Generosity would be restored
And the world would act
Like an open door
To all those in need

What I Wish

I was caught up
In the moment
I was lost in thought
I was wondering
If it was right
Or maybe not
How much
Can you get
Caught up in a dream
And does it become
The theme
Of your life
When you live
In a world of lies
Dreams get you through
When everything
Around you dies
I hesitated to
Open my eyes
Afraid of what
I might see
Would I deny
Something
That might set me free
Or was it safer
To simply be
In a world of
My own making
After everything
Around me was
Breaking
Breaking down
There
Can you hear it
That sound
That warms my heart
I thought it was gone
Something upon
My window ledge
I used to hear
Lying on my bed
So long ago
It was an angel
You know
Telling me that
Things would be alright
Even in the darkness
And late at night
It was the only thing
I held on tight
For all of my life

All Of My Life

I don’t know
About you
But it feels like
We’re just passing through
Like being on some scenic cruise
Figuring what we will do
Always looking for 
Something new
Along the way
Going from one place
To the next
Trying to pick out
Which one is the best
But it gets stressful
We need a rest
We need to rest our mind
Making a living always
Takes time
Maybe more time
Than we know
Time goes past
With little to show
And before you know
It’s all in the past
Things didn’t last
With that in mind
I’m not intending to stay
I’m leaving in the morning
I’m going away
©2025 wr heustis

Going Away

It’s amazing
How little
I remember
From when
I was young
It amazes me
When I consider
How far I have come
You know how it goes
It’s the trouble
The tough times
That you’ve known
That stay in your mind
When I glance back
At what was left behind
That I made it this far
Yeah, that I made it this far
It’s hard to believe
It’s next to impossible
To see
Knowing my past
As if my destiny was cast
And there was no way
I’d be free
Let alone even attempt
To be
Who I am
Today
Yeah, today
It wouldn’t be the same
Unless I escaped the game
And got out on my own
Free to roam
On my own today

Escape The Game

It doesn’t matter
Where we’re from
As long as we speak
The language of love
You know the look
You know the touch
It’s something all of us
Want so much
It’s something
We also need
You can read
About it
In the poets
And lovers over time
And about those
Who search
But never find
You can hear about those
Who went blind
Searching for love
And about the divine
The source of love
It’s down here
And also above
For some it comes easy
And for others it’s hard
Some find it through releasing
While for others it seems
As if it’s found in the stars
Yeah, the stars above
for those
Searching for elusive love

Language of Love

The world is reeling
Have we hit the ceiling
Have we crossed the line
Has it reached the time
When we have to say
We’ve had enough
Tough times
Need to go away
Sometimes
You don’t want to stay
If this is how people
Treat each other
These days
We breathe the same air
And to be fair
We share the same sun
After all
There’s only one
We share the same sky
And the same stars
Why don’t we agree
That they’re all ours
Together
We can do better
Together
Rather than apart
So listen to your heart
And not your mind
The world is changing
Hopefully for the better
Because it’s about time
©2025 wr heustis

It's About Time

Sometimes we want
To be something
When we already are
Sometimes
We’re already there
But we think it’s far
Away
Thinking that one day
We’ll make it
Or else break it
When there might not
Be a need
It’s just what we believe
Will make us better
Maybe we’ll change
The letters
In our name
In search of fame
When it’s really
Like a game
That you only play
For a time
You’ll feel fine
Until you don’t
You think it’s out there
But maybe you won’t
Know
Until you get there
Only to find
It was all in your mind
The entire time

All In Your Mind

I always wanted
To protect you
To project
What I thought was true
But leave it up to you
To prove me wrong
It didn’t take long
Before you were
On your own
I tried to call you
But you never
Answered your phone
I sent you a text
That was the best
Thing I knew to do
But even so
I’m still waiting
To hear from you
Are you there
Are you scared
Are you prepared
Just in case
I need to know
I need to know
If you’re okay
Don’t put it off
A day
Longer
I’m sure you’d say
You’re getting stronger
Every day
Okay
But that doesn’t mean
I can’t worry
Things sometimes 
Happen in a hurry
And that’s what
Makes me concerned
It’s life’s lesson
That have to be learned
Sometimes the hard way
So give me a call
What do you say

Life's Lesson

Have you made up your mind
Do you need some more time
You know how I hate to wait
We can’t be late
They’ll wonder where we are
I can tell them
We’re in the car
And we’re not that far
Away
While you wait
To make up your mind
I mean
It would be fine
If they weren’t our friends
But being late
Is something I don’t
Want to defend
Let alone become a trend
So let’s go
Yeah, I know
You need to be right
But we can’t wait all night
So let’s go
Before you change 
Your mind

Made Up Your Mind

Searching

I came to the party late. It wasn't great but it is what it is. When you've got something in your soul that needs to grow you have to give it a chance so that others might dance to your music. Dance on!
