Please Don't Cry

Please don’t cry baby
Let me dry your eyes
Please don’t cry baby
Come here—
Let me hold you

Can you hear my heart beat baby?
Can you hear it call your name?
Can you hear my heart beat—

Close your eyes baby
Let me dry your tears away
Close your eyes baby
I’ll be here always

Lift you up when you are down
Keep you high, to watch the ground
Show you what you deserve
And prove to you, you are what my heart yearns

That’s Kids Just Messing Around

That’s Kids Just Messing Around
By: Adam J. Rubenstein
September 1009

State your name
State your claim
Tell me, from which you’ve came.
Manifest yourself
Never hide in vein

Set forth and shine
Now is the time

Stay on a righteous path
Never step on broken glass
Bite the tongue instead of l`as-shing out
Ask the kids what their day was about
Encourage, acknowledge, stand and be proud

Don’t beat,

Like Poetry in Motion

Like poetry in motion,
You glide through my thoughts-
Numb my body-
Ripple my mind-
Engross my heart-
Leaving footprints on my soul

Like poetry in motion
You have me guessing the next line
The next verse
The next stanza of this unity
Rippling my mind
Enthralling my heart
Leaving footprints on my soul

Like poetry in motion…
You move me.

Take me to heights…

What is your happiness?

happiness for some is a buck and a quarter,
happiness for other is a son or a daughter.
but what is happiness to you?
sure you can define,
if your feeling is such that you're no longer mine.
what is happiness...
and how can it be;
that there was once happiness,
now, no longer seen?
paradise we 'shared'
twas paradise to me,
now the paradise is just that of a flooded dream.
time is of the essance,
but time is what you need.
time to mend a broken heart,
or tear it at the seam.
words unspoken,
one side unheard,
all that your feeling,
is my number one concern.

The Interview That Is Life

The Interview That Is Life
By: Adam Jordan Rubenstein
September 2009

Life throws curve balls
And sends us through a tunneled maze

Days, on end
Practicing…
Everything and how we should say…
Portray…
Place our cards…
So diligently;

Who are you?
Where are you from?
What are you doing?

Why have you come?
And how do you plan to get there?
