TRUE BEAUTY HIDES BEYOND WHAT THE EYES CAN SEE by Rudy T.© 

The beauty in my features & my skin ~ are much to shallow for anyone to see ~ the beauty that resides deep within me ~ it's my inner beauty that truly tells ~ just how beautiful is my outer shell 

Vanity is so shallow to me ~ for true beauty hides beyond where the eyes can see ~ it's the inner beauty that resides deep within that truly tells ~ just how beautiful is your outer shell 

So many times people hide what lies within ~ with makeup beauty & a smile so others wont know ~ what hides deep within their soul ~ for true beauty & happiness can only be seen ~ when you get to know someone truly within 

I'M SORRY by Rudy T.©

I'M SORRY ~ a word that has burdened me to say for many years ~ after some of my actions & words that brought you to tears ~ I'M SORRY ~ to have ever hurt you I feel so ashamed ~ after you left me I reflected on our past & I seen just who was to blame ~ ME ~ for the way I acted all those years we were together ~ after promising & saying I would love you forever ~ what a way to treat the one you love ~ someone who gave your their heart & all their love ~ I hope 1 day you will be able to forgive me ~ for braking my promise that we would live HAPPILY EVER AFTER ~ a little girls dream TO LIVE OUT THE CINDERELLA STORY ~ which is why I feel the need to tell you ~ I'M SORRY! 

STARING OUT THESE TAINTED WINDOWS by Rudy T.©

STARING OUT THESE TAINTED WINDOWS ~ the innocence & the beauty of the way I use to see the world ~ is now tainted & gone ~ cause I remember as a child ~ how I couldn't wait for a new day to begin....with joy & anticipation of what a *NEW* day may bring ~ night skies & sunsets ~ the beauty in them as a child I will never forget ~ summer winter spring & fall ~ here was so much joy in the seasons ~ I loved them all ~ the beginning of spring time meant the birth of many *NEW* things ~ which then lead to summer ~ which meant nothing but sunny days ~ where most of a child's fondest memories are made ~ with the joy & beauty that comes with a sunny day ~ with the find of a new friend ~ & the joy of thinking it will never end ~ cause you believe you can trust all to be a friend ~ in a time & a place that seems like it will never end ~ then slowly but surely the vision of a child will be lost & gone ~ through events in life & friends that may have caused one harm ~ the beauty through innocence ~ & the vision through a child's eyes will be lost & gone ~ cause I now have a lot fear of the unknown ~ I still love the way the sunsets ~ but I fear the night skies ~ cause I have so much fear of the unknown ~ & what may come when I close my eyes & a new day is born ~ cause if I could ever grasp the hands of time ~ it would be my youth ~ cause I miss the innocence I had as a child ~ with all the love I had for the seasons & the joy of change ~ with the birth of a new day & what it may bring ~ the beauty in which I seen the world & everything that grows ~ is now much different ~ STARING OUT THESE TAINTED WINDOWS

I WROTE THIS ONE ?THINKING? HOW AS CHILDREN HOW LITTLE WE KNOW ~ & THE INNOCENCE THAT IS LOST AS WE BEGIN TO GROW ~ THROUGH HEARTACHES & LIFE CHANGES WE BEGIN TO SEE ~ LIFE AIN'T WHAT WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE ~ THE END OF THE INNOCENCE IS NOW WHAT I SEE

TO EVERY SEASON THERE IS AN END by Rudy T.©

I remember when I was just a little kid ~ when everything seem to begin ~ cause there was no fear in the end ~ when life was all about the 1st time & not the last ~ cause everything seem so present cause there was little of a past ~ when all I knew was love ~ cause there was no reason to hate ~ when my heart was wide open ~ cause I never endured heart ache ~ when I only heard the joy in music ~ cause I did'nt understand the blues ~ when everything seem so shiney & *BRAND NEW* ~ cause there was not much in my life to compare everything to ~ but in time the realities in life started to sink in ~ TO EVERY SEASON THERE IS AN END

EMBRACE WHERE YOU ARE by Rudy T.© 

As I drift in time my memories begin to fade ~ only to be reminded as I look back in time ~ at the images that recreate past events in my mind ~ wow how fast time flies ~ while whispering moments of yesterday begin to come alive ~ I ponder & think of some of the best of times ~ & as my eyes begin to over flow with tears ~ not tears of sorrow but tears of remembrance ~ I now see how fast things become the past ~ that at one time were the present ~ we really need to grasp the hands of time ~ & realize what you are livin at the moment ~ in time will be a distant memory you will never forget ~ so love cherish & EMBRACE WHERE YOU ARE before the sunsets ~ & really live in it 

BUILDING WHITE CASTLES UNDER THE SUN by Rudy T.©

I remember as a child I would build white castles under the sun ~ at a place & time where my imagination could escape & just have fun ~ a way to escape & create that perfect home ~ with the beautiful back drop of the ocean & sun ~ my own little piece of serenity much unlike my home ~ a place where my silence could be excepted in my creation of the perfect home ~ while my mind runs freely cause I feel so alone ~ building white castles under the sun ~ was my way to escape my broken home

( INSPIRED BY THE INNOCENCE THAT A CHILD LOSES AS THEY GROW ~ WITH THE REALIZATION THAT ALL THAT GLITTERS IS NOT GOLD ) 

YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL JUST THE WAY YOU ARE by Rudy T.© 

You are so beautiful just the way you are ~ from the inside to your beautiful scars ~ If they only knew you for who you really are ~ they would see the he beauty that dwells inside your heart ~ the silent one, they think you are so shy ~ but no one ever cared enough to know the reason why ~ just a lonely soul, over looked all of your whole life ~ I only hope one day, they will see what dwells inside ~ the beauty in your heart that so dearly 
wants to shine ~ but no one cares enough to see, they just walk & pass you by 

LOVE GROWS STRONGER BY DAY & NIGHT by Rudy T.© 

Love is so beautiful when it's fresh & brand new ~ it's as beautiful to see as the moon in full bloom ~ so beautiful & eloquent it's simply divine ~ seeing two hearts become intertwined ~ that beat as one from dusk to dawn ~ before the moon to hearts grow into one ~ with each touch of their lips ~ to hearts grow warm like the suns morning kiss ~ that gets brighter & brighter as the day goes by ~ while their love grows stronger with each tender kiss & goodbye ~ ended in their arms & starry eyes under the moonlight ~ off into the sunset awaits another sunrise ~ & the beauty of love, that grows stronger by day & night
