AHEAD OF ME

PHOTOGRAPHY BY J R HILTON

LAST POST OF 2015

AHEAD OF ME

IN MY YOUTH I WAS SO AWKWARD AND SHY

IF YOU WERE TO ASK ME I COULDN'T EXPLAIN WHY 

IN MY INNOCENCE I WAS QUITE NAIVE

USED TO WEAR MY HEART PROUDLY ON MY SLEEVE

THAT WORKED WELL UNTIL I WAS A TEEN

THEN MY HEART WAS SELDOM SEEN

TAKEN BY SOME BEAUTY QUEEN

A WHIRLWIND ROMANCE AND SHE WAS GONE

EAGER TO LEARN,  EAGER TO KNOW 

SEVENTEEN AND READY TO GO 

REJECTION WAS NEVER PART OF THE PLAN

BUT I GOT MY SHARE

THE LITTLE BIT OF HEAVEN IN BETWEEN

WAS WHAT I NEED THERE

BUT I LOOKED AWAY TOO LONG

WHEN I LOOKED BACK SHE WAS GONE

TRIPPING IN THE SUNSHINE, TRIPPING IN MY HEAD

WONDERING WHAT IT WAS I SAID 

NEVER WONDERED LONG, SHE CAUGHT MY EYE

WE PARTED WAYS AFTER YEARS WENT BY

I LIVED RECKLESS AND FREE

WITH NO THOUGHTS TO WHAT WAS AHEAD OF ME

TRAGEDY AND CIRCUMSTANCE CHANGED EVERYTHING I KNEW

I TRIED TO DO WHAT I COULD DO

AND NOTHING MADE ANYTHING ALRIGHT

HAD A MILLION REASONS WHY I SHOULD GO

SHUT THE DOOR BEHIND ME AND NEVER LOOKED BACK

LEFT EVERYTHING AND NOTHING BEHIND

I TRAVELED FAR AS TIME ALLOWED ME, FOUND A NEW PLACE TO REBUILD MY FAITH

IT'S STILL NOT ALRIGHT BUT WHY FIGHT IT

THINGS WILL BE JUST AS THEY ARE

AND WHEN I NEED RE-ASSURANCE, I NEVER HAVE TO GO FAR

TRIPPING IN THE SUNSHINE, TRIPPING IN MY HEAD

I NEVER WORRY ABOUT, WHAT ANYBODY SAID

THE PATH

***

THE PATH

PIECES EVERYWHERE

SOME OF THEM YOU TRY TO PUT TOGETHER IN DESPAIR

SOME ARE LOST IN THE WIND

YOU WILL NEVER GET THEM BACK AGAIN

DRIFTING, DONE MY SHARE

IN A HARD PLACE, WHERE IT'S HARD TO CARE

COME AWAY FROM THERE

LIKE A GHOST WALKING ON THE WRONG SIDE

BLACK IS THE COLOR, BLUE IS THE EMOTION

WALK A WAY, YOU CAN'T STAY

THIS ISN'T THE PLACE YOU WANT TO BE

ANYPLACE IS BETTER WAIT AND SEE

YOU SUFFER IN SILENCE BECAUSE IT'S ALL YOU KNOW

IT'S ALL YOU'VE GOT, THERE'S NOWHERE TO GO

I'VE FELT THAT KIND OF DESPAIR

WHEN GOOD LUCK JUST DOESN'T CARE

THERE'S A PATH OUT THERE WHEN YOU'RE READY

AND THE STARS ARE IN YOUR HOUSE

YOU WILL EMERGE AND GATHER STEAM

LIKE A WELL OILED MACHINE

MOVING FORWARD TO GOOD

LEAVING BAD BEHIND, LEFT A BAD TASTE

YOU KNOW THE KIND

TOMORROWS ALWAYS COMING

 YOU FOLLOW THE LEAD

TAKING CARE TO TAKE ONLY WHAT YOU NEED

TO DRAW THE LINE, MAKE A STAND

REACH OUT TO THE MAGIC IN THE AIR

COVERING UP DESPAIR WITH INSPIRATION

WHATEVER IT TAKES TO GAIN SALVATION

COMING OUT YOU KNOW YOU'LL GIVEM HELL

KEEP ON FIGHTING TO THE LAST BELL

TO THE BITTER END

ON YOUR FEET AGAIN

STORM

***

STORM

THE HOURS THAT I'VE SPENT

THE WORRY THAT I'VE LENT

TO EACH YEAR OF MY LIFE TO NOW

KEEP HEAPING IT ON, TO SEE HOW STRONG

BUT I'M STRAINING UNDER ALL THIS WEIGHT

I CAN'T SEE MY RELIEF, AND MY BELIEF IS CRUMBLING

WHEN I SEE A BLUE SKY

I KNOW A STORM CAN'T BE FAR BEHIND

I CAN SEE, I'M NOT BLIND

LIFE CAN BE SO UNKIND

THERE WERE NO EASY ROADS TO GET ME WHERE I AM TODAY

I'M NO BETTER OFF NOW, JUST FURTHER AWAY

I LIFT MY HEAD TOWARDS THE STARS IN THE SKY

AND MAKE JUST ONE MORE WISH

SOMETIMES I HAVE TO WONDER, WHERE DID I GO WRONG

SOMETIMES I THINK IT ALL TAKES TOO LONG

TO RIGHT A WRONG

SHOULDN'T WE BE ALL THROUGH WITH THIS

GET TO THE PART WHERE I GET RICH

BEYOND THE PART THAT'S BEEN SUCH A BITCH

I KNOW ANOTHER STORMS NOT FAR BEHIND

BUT I'N GONNA HOLD OUT THIS TIME

TIRED OF SEEING DREAMS GET CRUSHED

JUST WANT GOOD THINGS FOR US

JUST GIVE ME ONE MORE BREAK

ANOTHER CHANCE AND THAT'S THE ONE I'LL TAKE

I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE BLUE SKIES

WITH NO WORRIES OF A STORM

BLOWING INTO MY LIFE, WITH NO ROOF OVERHEAD

LEAVE BEHIND THE LIFE I HAVE LED

SANDALWOOD

***

SANDALWOOD

I LIKE BLUE SKIES AND SUNNY AFTERNOONS

I LIKE LYING IN THE GRASS WATCHING CLOUDS GO BY

I LIKE BEACHES I COULD LIVE THERE IN THE SAND

LOOKING OUT TO SEA, BEAUTY ON DEMAND

I LIKE SUNSETS OF YELLOW ORANGE AND RED

I LIKE TO THINK ABOUT THE NICE THINGS THAT YOU SAID

I LIKE TO TALK WELL INTO THE NIGHT

I LIKE CONVERSATIONS BY CANDLELIGHT

IT ALL MEANS SOMETHING, IT ALL MEANS NOTHING

AT THE END OF THE DAY

WITH NOBODY TO TELL, NO ONE TO SAY

SOMEWHERE DEEP INSIDE WHERE ALL THESE THINGS HIDE

WON'T YOU STAY WITH ME, WE CAN MAKE IT

I JUST KNOW IT'S TRUE

IT'S NOTHING THAT WE CAN'T DO

I LIKE LOVE AND MOONLIGHT SHINING DOWN

I LIKE TO SIT BY FIRELIGHT AND BECOME PART OF THE NIGHT

I LIKE GARDENS IN BLOOM 

THE SCENT OF SANDALWOOD IN MY ROOM

I LIKE SUMMERTIME, GIVE ME THE SUNSHINE

I LIKE THE FOREST, A SEA OF TREES

I LIKE TO LISTEN CLOSELY, HEAR THEM SPEAK TO ME

I LIKE GOOD MUSIC, I LIKE GOOD FOOD

I LIKE EXPENSIVE RUMS WHEN I'M IN THE MOOD 

I LIKE WALKING IN THE SUMMER RAIN

I LIKE TO SIT AROUND AND RECALL

SOME OF THE YEARS I'VE HAD, BUT NOT ALL

I LIKE THE WAY YOU HOLD ME, I LIKE YOUR LOVE

I LIKE THE WAY IT FEELS, I LIKE YOUR SOOTHING VOICE

WHEN YOU CALL

I DON'T MIND AT ALL

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO HEROES

***

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO HEROES

 EVERYTHING IS SO MIXED UP, THE WORLD IS UPSIDE-DOWN

PRIORITIES AND VALUES CHANGED, AND NOT ALWAYS FOR GOOD

A PURE HEART IS HARD TO FIND

WATCH THE WORLD AS IT TURNS

FLAGS ARE FALLING GETTING BURNED

IT'S HARD TO WATCH, HARD TO TAKE

THIS EXCESSIVE GREED, CAUSING THINGS TO BREAK

EVERYBODY SEEMS SO INDIFFERENT, SEEMS NOT TO CARE

JUST GOES ALONG WITH WHAT WHATEVER,S THERE

NOBODY WANTS TO COME TOGETHER

GUESS THE GENERATION OF LOVE IS GONE

CORPORATE GREED AND POLITICAL CORRUPTION

ARE BEHIND ALL THIS DISSENTION

BLACKENING EVERYTHING THAT'S PURE

WHEN LOVE AND GOOD CAN'T WIN, THEN I'M NOT SURE

 I CAN'T PINPOINT WHEN IT SLIPPED AWAY

IT WAS SO SUBTLE, LIKE A WHISPERED BREEZE

NOW HERE WE ARE ON OUR KNEES

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO PEOPLE THAT COULD LEAD

WITHOUT KNOCKING US DOWN AND MAKING US BLEED

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO HEROES

WHO'D COME RIDING IN TO SAVE THE DAY

CAPTURE ALL THE BAD GUYS THEN MAKE THEM PAY

IT'S JUST ANOTHER OMEN THAT WE SHOULD NOT IGNORE

BEFORE THEY HAVE THE CHANCE

TO CLOSE ANOTHER DOOR

FREEDOM SLIPS AWAY, A LITTLE MORE EACH DAY

WISH I COULD SAY THAT HELPS ON THE WAY

BUT IT WON'T COME, UNLESS WE COME TOGETHER AND RISE

LOOK AT THIS WITH OPEN EYES

EVERYONE'S INDIFFERENT, DON'T SEEM TO CARE

UNTIL YOU WAKE UP ONE DAY, AND NO ONE IS THERE

NOBODY WANTS TO COME TOGETHER, LOVE IS GONE

I DON'T KNOW WHEN IT SLIPPED AWAY, BUT WE NEED TO GET IT BACK

FEEL IT IN MY HEART JUST LIKE YOU, I KNOW THAT IT'S A FACT

 

 

 

DRIFT AGAIN

***

DRIFT AGAIN

TRAVELING DOWN THIS DUSTY HIGHWAY

HAD IT'S SHARE OF UPS AND DOWNS

SO MANY CITIES, SO MANY TOWNS

SO MANY BLURRED FACES

IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR

FADING INTO NOTHING, INTO THE OBSCURE

STILL WAITING MY TURN

IF I COULD ONLY LEARN

HOW TO CHANGE

MAYBE THAT'S HOW I FAIL MYSELF

I'M STILL DOWNLOADING ALL THE PAIN

LIKE A LOST BALLOON IN THE WIND

TO LET GO IS TO DRIFT AGAIN

MY SPIRIT GUIDES ABANDONED ME

LEFT ME TO TRAVEL ALONE

A FEW TIMES I THOUGHT I'D FOUND MYSELF

AND MY HOME, BUT I WAS WRONG

I KEPT MY HEAD DOWN, AS I MADE MY WAY

KEENLY AWARE OF ALL THAT WAS MISSING

UNAWARE OF WHAT WAS NOT

SOMETIMES FORGOT MY EYES COULD SEE

DYING TO BELIEVE IN SOMEONE ELSE'S VISION, THAT WAS ME

AND FROM THE ASHES, I WILL RISE

LIKE A PHOENIX READY FOR FLIGHT, I SURMISE

I'VE BEEN HERE BEFORE, JUST MY SOUL

A LONGTIME AGO 

CARRY ME FORWARD BUT NOT TOO FAR

DELIVER ME FROM THESE ANTIQUATED THOUGHTS

THAT I'M TIED TO

DRIFT AGAIN, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN

THE NIGHTMARES OVER, THE DREAM HAS BEGUN

IT LOOKS LIKE YOU WON

TO LET GO IS TO DRIFT AGAIN

ANOTHER SUNRISE

***

ANOTHER SUNRISE

 

I SEE ANOTHER SUNRISE

AND I KNOW THAT I HAVE WON

ANOTHER DAY ANOTHER CHANCE

TO GET THINGS DONE

SO MUCH WORKING AGAINST ME

EVERY STEP SEEMS UPHILL

BUT I'M DETERMINED TO KEEP ON GOING

TRY AND GET MY FILL

 

MANY WOULD HAVE GIVEN UP BY NOW

IF THEY FACED THE CONSTANT STRUGGLES I'VE BEEN THROUGH

IT'S JUST I FEEL IF I KEEP ON TRYING

MAYBE I'LL FINALLY BREAK THROUGH

SO I KEEP ON TRYING, FOR ME IT'S NOTHING NEW

 

MY HEADS GETTING HEAVY AND MY SIGHT IS GETTING DIM

I CAN SEE MY PATIENCE IS GETTING THIN

JUST NEED SOMEONE TO TELL ME

EVERYTHING WILL BE ALRIGHT 

I'VE GOT A LOT INVESTED, I NEED TO KNOW

I'VE GOT TO MANAGE THIS BALANCING ACT

GOTTA KEEP IT ON TRACK

KEEP IT ALL GOING, WITHOUT SHOWING

THE FEARS AND APPREHENSION THAT I HIDE SO WELL

IT TAKEN A LOT TO GET ME HERE 

A LOT TO EVEN GET ME NEAR

 I HOPE THAT IT'S NOT TOO LATE

SECRET LOVE

SECRET LOVE

I'VE BEEN READY FOR QUITE SOME TIME

WAITING FOR YOU TO MAKE UP YOUR MIND

WAITING FOR YOU TO PROVE YOUR LOVE IS ONLY MINE

I BELIEVED IN YOU IN ENOUGH TO JUST PICK UP AND GO

I'M NOT SURE WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND

 BUT I THINK THAT I SHOULD KNOW

SO CLOSE TO ME BUT I CAN'T REACH OUT TO TOUCH YOU

SECRET LOVE NO ONE CAN KNOW THAT

WE'VE GOT THIS THING FOR EACH OTHER

I CAN'T GET YOU OFF OF MY MIND

YOU'RE WELL IN MY HEAD

BUT I'M SLEEPING ALONE

FOR ME THIS IS SOMETHING NEW

CAN'T GET MYSELF NEXT TO YOU

THEN I SAW THE WRITING ON THE WALL

SOMEONE ELSE NOT ME AT ALL

NEVER THOUGHT THAT YOU WOULD STRING ME ALONG

THE LIGHT OF LOVE YOU SHONE IN MY EYES

MADE ME AN EASY FOOL FOR YOUR GAME

YOU KNOW HOW HARD I FELL

DON'T TELL ME YOU COULDN'T TELL

I LOOKED DEEP INTO YOUR EYES AND COULDN'T SEE

THAT PICTURE ANYMORE OF YOU AND ME

THE THINGS I SHARED, THE THINGS YOU SHARED

THE THINGS WE DARED, TELL ME WHAT FOR

I WAS BARELY IN WHEN, YOU CLOSED THE DOOR

FROM ON HIGH, TO I DON'T KNOW WHY

WHAT'S THE PRICE OF A BROKEN HEART

TELL ME WHAT FOR

HOW MANY DREAMS HAVE YOU BROKEN BEFORE

NO, NO NO, NO, NO ONE CAN KNOW

JASMINE DREAM

painting by J. R Hilton

JASMINE DREAM

 

RISING LIKE A PHOENIX, SHINING LIKE THE SUN

ALL PRIMED AND READY, LIKE A LOADED GUN

SO MUCH COMING, SO MUCH GONE

 SO MUCH LOST, SO MUCH FOUND

NOW IT'S TIME FOR ME TO GO

WHILE THERE'S STILL A LITTLE LIGHT

WHILE I WEND MY WAY TOWARDS YOU

ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT

 

YOUR NAME IS ON MY LIPS, YOUR SWEET JASMINE DREAM

IN MIDNIGHT SILENCE I'M DRAWN TO YOU

AND WHEN I'M DREAMING

YOU CAN BET I'M DREAMING OF YOU

A LOT OF SUGAR, A LITTLE SPICE

YOU LYING NEXT TO ME, OOH SO NICE

SO MUCH I'VE WAITED FOR

YOUR SWEET JASMINE DREAM

AND WHEN THE FLOWERS OF SPRING START BLOOMING

IT'S YOU THAT COMES TO MIND

ALWAYS SWEET, BEAUTIFUL, AND KIND

 

AND TELL ME, ARE YOU FEELING, THE THINGS I FEEL

OR HAVE I BEEN DREAMING AND THIS ISN'T REAL

HONEY TELL ME, WHAT'S IN YOUR HEART

MINE'S SO TIRED OF BEING TORN APART

ALL I WANT IS REAL, ALL I WANT TO FEEL

IS YOUR BODY NEXT TO MINE

SWEET JASMINE DREAM ALL AROUND ME

YES YOU FOUND ME, MY SWEET JASMINE DREAM

TELL ME, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN

ARE YOU COMING BACK WITH ME

BRINGING ALL THE LOVE YOU SAVED

BRINGING YOUR LIGHT TO ME

SET ME FREE, MY JASMINE DREAM

DO HAVE A GOOD DAY

AND A FABULOUS WEEKEND

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

 

I'LL ALWAYS BE

***

I'LL ALWAYS BE

 

LIKE THE SUMMER RAIN FALLING SOFTLY ON MY CHEEKS

TASTE ON MY LIPS, FEEL IT IN MY SOUL

LIKE A FULL MOON ON A WARM SUMMER NIGHT

SHINING DOWN ON THE TREES

REFLECTED IN THE WATER, PRETTY AS YOU PLEASE

I FEEL IT IN MY SOUL, IN MY HEART, I LET MY LOVE GO

SCATTERED AROUND LIKE THE STARS

 

I CAN STILL FIND WONDER, HIDDEN IN THE WORLD

YOU CAN'T HOLD LOVE IN, IT WAS MEANT TO FLY, HELLO GOODBYE

ALL THIS LOVE STILL NEEDS SOMEWHERE TO GO

STAND IN FRONT OF ME, AND WATCH ME GLOW

TAKE ALL YOU NEED, AND PUT THE REST AWAY

IN CASE YOU SHOULD NEED IT SOMEDAY

 

DON'T CLOSE YOUR EYES TO ALL THE LOVE THAT SURROUNDS YOU

IT MIGHT HELP YOU TO KEEP YOUR HEART LIGHT

FILL YOUR SOUL UNTIL IT OVERFLOWS 

MAKE SURE SOME ALWAYS COMES TO ME, I'LL BE READY

I'LL PUT MY ARMS AROUND YOU

AND HOLD YOU REAL REAL CLOSE TO ME

WATCH THE FIRE IN EACH OTHERS EYES LIGHT THE ROOM

 

WE WATCHED THE SUN GOING DOWN

TURN A MAGIC GLOW IN THE WHEAT-FIELDS 

AS THE BREEZE MADE IT DANCE AND BLOW

ALL ACROSS THE FIELDS, I LET MY LOVE GO

GAVE IT ALL TO YOU, YOU'VE GOT ME BY THE HEART

WHAT ELSE COULD I DO

 TAKE IT HOLD IT OWN IT, HELP IT GROW

WEAR IT ON YOUR SLEEVE SO EVERYONE WILL KNOW
