ONE LIFE
One Life

Why when I sleep am I still awake,
Living another life that feels no fake?
Opening and closing countless doors,
Traveling endless halls and distant floors.

Through silent worlds my spirit roams,
Wandering places that feel like homes.
Then morning comes and I arise,
Returning once more beneath these skies.

When I open my eyes from sleep’s embrace,
I reflect on the journeys, each curious place.
Wondering where I’ve been through the night,
Chasing shadows that vanish with light.

Sometimes I wish for only one life,
A simple path untouched by strife.
To rest my mind and finally be free,
A mortal soul at peace with me.

BEAUTY IN THE BEHOLDER’S EYE BY SAM TUMBLIN
Beauty in the Beholder’s Eye

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, they say,
Millions are spent just to be admired that way.
Is this the world’s accepted beauty norm,
Or merely the fearful few who choose to conform?

Always remember to be who you are,
An individual soul, a beautiful star.
No mirror can measure the light you possess,
For true beauty shines through confidence and kindness.

Trends may fade and fashions depart,
But genuine beauty begins in the heart.
So stand tall and embrace your unique design,
For the beauty that is yours was always meant to shine.

WHY THE FOCUS ON A ROSE BY SAM TUMBLIN
Why the Focus on a Rose

Why the focus on a rose?
We gaze gently at her pose.
Admiring petals, soft and bright,
Unfolding beauty in the light.

Her vines stand firm through wind and weather,
Strength and grace entwined together.
We bend to breathe her sweet perfume,
And find ourselves consumed too soon.

Her fragrance lingers in the air,
A silent charm beyond compare.
Captivated by her elegant prose,
We wonder why the focus on a rose.

Yet in her bloom a lesson grows,
Beauty flourishes, then softly goes.
So cherish every moment she bestows,
And understand the focus on a rose.

REASON TO STAY BY SAM TUMBLIN
Sometimes we feel we have no leg to stand on, Lost in the silence, feeling all alone. The blues become the tune we’ve leaned upon, As though this winding life has dragged too long.

Yet that’s the moment we must step away, From haunting thoughts and shadows we must slay. When we release them and let come what may, We learn the reason we were meant to stay.

When everything around you feels so wrong, And you keep asking why life’s been prolonged, Step back and silence that familiar song— The blues that once convinced you don’t belong.

For it will all be okay one day, Leave those old demons where they lay. You have so much love and truth to say, And gratitude to offer for your stay.

When the blues no longer lead the way, And hope begins to light the gray, You’ll see the strength you’ve found each day, And smile with gratitude for your stay.

EAGER EYES OF THE RAVEN BY SAM TUMBLIN
Eager Eyes of the Raven

Eager are the eyes that come at will,
Drifting through the shadows to satisfy their thrill.
The raven comes and goes beyond the hill,
Lingering only as long as it wishes still.

Endless are the whims it seeks to fulfill,
Darkened pupils silent, lifeless, and chill.
It answers to no master, signs no bill,
A creature of the darkness, roaming at its will.

Through moonlit silence it watches until
The night itself grows heavy and still.
Not a care in the world, no burden to instill,
For darkness is its kingdom, and mystery its thrill.

CRIMSON TEARS BY SAM TUMBLIN
Crimson are the tears that fall, From hearts that struggle through it all. Many through the years have tried, Bearing burdens deep inside.

In this world they long to be free, Escaping pain that none can see. Oftentimes those crimson tears, Were masked by smiles throughout the years.

Yet tears are not forever cast, Even the darkest storms will pass. One day those crimson drops will hide, As hope and strength stand side by side.

For what is right shall still remain, Outshining sorrow, fear, and pain. And when the clouds of grief are gone, The heart will find its brighter dawn.

“Even the deepest tears cannot drown hope when the heart still seeks the light.”

THE SELF WITHIN BY SAM TUMBLIN
THE SELF WITHIN

Often alter egos we hide,
Only in our hearts to confide.
Happy, glad, gloomy, goth inside,
Each a companion by our side.

Masks we wear throughout the day,
Guarding thoughts we tuck away.
Yet beneath the world’s broad tide,
Lives the soul we cannot hide.

Dreamer, warrior, poet, guide,
All reside and coincide.
For what lies buried deep within,
Shapes the life we journey in.

THE MEASURE OF A HEART BY SAM TUMBLIN
THE MEASURE OF A HEART
By Sam Tumblin

It is amazing how we guard the ones we love,
Like a sparrow sheltering its young above.
Feeding, clothing, giving what we can,
Even surrendering pieces of ourselves by hand.

For those who have known such love,
There is a comfort that rises from above.
A quiet peace that cannot be bought,
Found in every selfless deed we’ve wrought.

To know you eased another’s pain,
Or helped them stand through wind and rain,
Is a reward beyond wealth’s art—
The true measure of a caring heart.

If you’ve abandoned love as a hopeless try,
Believing every effort passed you by,
Take a moment and let your spirit start,
Open the door that’s locked your heart.

For love has a way of finding room,
Even in seasons shadowed by gloom.
And when it arrives, you’ll understand the part
That makes compassion the measure of a heart.

It is amazing how we guard the ones we love,
Like a sparrow sheltering its young above.
For in giving more than we can afford,
We discover the heart’s greatest reward.

LOVE’S DAGGER BY SAM TUMBLIN
LOVE’S DAGGER
By Sam Tumblin

You say you love me,
Yet I see a dagger in your hand.
Perhaps this is our destiny,
Stranded upon our own lonely land.

Standing eye to eye,
Neither willing to turn away.
Beneath the silence lies
A wound awaiting its day.

Forevermore the tears we cry,
Falling like rain through endless night.
Love and pain walk side by side,
Locked within the same dark light.

You say you love me,
And perhaps your words are true.
Yet every kiss bears a sharpened edge,
Cutting deeper than it should do.

Still we remain,
Bound by passion, bound by strife.
Seeking endless bliss together,
Living love’s dagger life.

STILL BEATING BY SAM TUMBLIN
STILL BEATING
By Sam Tumblin

My heart still beats,
Though time has taken its receipts.
A slow and steady pitter-patter,
Chasing dreams that scarcely matter.

Aimlessly I wander on,
Singing life’s unending song.
Beyond the lines of right and wrong,
Unplugged, yet somehow still strong.

My heart still beats,
Defying shadows, dodging defeat.
Past the questions asking why,
Past the fears that once ran high.

Here for reasons yet unknown,
Walking roads not always my own.
Bearing burdens, carrying scars,
Still reaching toward distant stars.

Past living shy,
No cage remains, no tears to cry.
Only echoes in the sky
Whispering softly, “Tell me why?”

Yet my heart still beats,
Refusing silence, refusing retreat.
Through every loss and every song,
Unplugged, yet moving along.
