Blank Page (poem)

Looking down
Having this blank page
Stare back.

Struggling to find the words to say
Something, anything
Just to fill this page.

Line after line
Slowly filling up
But what are they saying?

Empty words
Flowing and filling up
Page after page.

Something I Have Always Questioned About My Writing,
Does It Mean Something To Somebody, Or Are They Just Words To Fill Up This Blank Page?

You Can See It In Their Eyes. (poem)

Aged
Rusted leather skin
Fragile cracked smiles
Sitting in the quiet
Passing silent glances
But you can see it in their eyes.

Gazing
Looking past
Watching memories pass
Tears welling up
Laughter breaking through
And you can see it in their eyes.

Two Tattered Tarnished Hearts,
Held Together By An Old Love.

~ T.J. Vaughn

These Two Hands (poem)

This slow drone of ticking
Seems to grow rapid
The closer we get

Seconds to hours
Invaluable time
Slipping through our fingers

Grasping your hands in mine
Hoping to slow down and
Grant us more time

Running out on
Seconds we can never get back
Returning to find them missing.

These Two Hands Have Become My Enemy,
Trying To Keep Our Two Hands Apart.

-T.J.

Just some thoughts.

Okay so first off I've been slacking and i apologize for that. Even if no one reads these it helps me and it's good for me to get my thoughts out of my head, it clears my mind and helps me see things more clearly. So now that's out of the way we can move past the big pink elephant in the room i know it's been a while. Work has been pretty rough switching from part time to full time has been a change and people are starting to show their true colors people i work with i thought were 'friends' aren't and that's kind of upsetting knowing that some people only wanted to be friends with me because they needed something from me but it's getting better and i don't need them i have friends that are true friends and i have people i work with that are amazing people. i have made new friends since my last blog post and some exciting things are to come from some of those new friendships. i'm currently working on a cover to the song 'Healer' ~ Kari Jobe with a friend and a few new friends i've been working on design work with asked me to play drums for them and we are going to Nashville in July to record :) super excited about that and i will def keep y'all updated on that as it draws near. also i have another very special friend she makes me very happy and makes me smile a lot. i'm laughing again. it's been a while. it feels good to laugh again... also i'm writing again, songs and poems. i'll post some very soon. also on the topic on new things i have a new bass guitar it's a 6-string Ibanez G  series. it's pretty. okay i think that's it for now. more posts soon. hopefully.
