Not Together

Can love just disappear?

When one lover

Simply ignores the other?

Two decades

And I never saw them kiss

Never saw them hug

Never saw them hold hands

Where does love go?

Was it ever there?

Or was I hidden from the truth?

The truth that they are not real

They share a name

But they are not together

They share a house

They share children

They share the past and the present

But the future I fear

Is quite uncertain with love absent

And no hope within my soul

Crushed

Alone and insignificant

I sit here and witness

Such undeserved punishment

Placed on a person who has

Done nothing but love

Frightened and lonely

I can do nothing but watch

As one moves up

And as one breaks down

Before my weary eyes

Saddened and distraught

I cry myself to sleep at night

It's breaking me down

Yet when morning awakes me

The day paints a smile on my face

A smile that hides the truth

A smile that fakes my happiness

A smile that hurts me so

I can do nothing

I try to tell myself that it's not me

None of this is my fault

Then why, why does this tear me to shreds?

I have no one to turn to

And until then

I smile by day

And I cry by night

Dreamcatcher

You pour into my dreams

Like a pitcher of ice cold water

Climbing slowly up my spine

Reaching into my mind

An icy shiver

Takes hold of my body

As you enter my realm of sleep

You bring back the past

Without my warrant

Unfolding distant memories

Once so carefully tucked away

You remind me of my dream

That we would one day

Give each other our promises

Give each other our lives

A warm current

Now moves through my body

Rushing you away

As morning awakes me

Warm Embrace

The moon's silver beams cascade gently onto my face

I close my eyes and I feel her affection

I close my eyes and I feel her love

I close my eyes and I feel her warm embrace

How lonely I feel in my room at night

Yet I set aside the curtains

And in she comes, uninvited but ever so welcomed

How peaceful I feel

When her warm embrace

Rescues me from my unwanted solitude

No longer alone

Her warm embrace soothes my soul

Waves

The waves of my past consume me

The engulf my every thought

I cannot let it happen again

I dare not let it happen again

Waves

Running through my brain

As though I have unleashed

A stampede of demon horsemen

Waves

Running through my veins

As though I have unleashed

A deep, dark storm

Devouring my soul

Drinking the blood from my heart

Leaving both to wilt away

Closing their iron doors

I once knew love

Once gazed at its beauty

Beauty

Such a curious word to my mind

What is beauty?

The haunting ghost of what once was?

Or my beautiful face

That hides all that has past?

Meditation

Lights out

Eyes closed

Legs crossed

My deep breaths enclose my body

Into a calm and pure state

In

And the air flows

Up my nasal passage

And through my body

Cleansing it of the days worries

Out

And it grasps my emotional pain

And takes it away

To an unattainable distance

Lights out

Eyes closed

Legs crossed

My heart beat surrenders

To the gentle pulsation

Of the Tibetan sound bowls

And becomes one with their rhythm

Thud thump

Thud thump

Pulsating

Bringing me

To a deeper sense of well-being

Lights out

Eyes closed

Legs crossed

Thud thump

Breathe in

Thud thump

Breathe out

My soul is

In perfect rhythm

With my mind

And my body

Is heavy

With inner peace

My Reflection

I close my eyes

And a cold tear

Cascades slowly down my face

A face worn with pain

A face worn with sadness

This tear

The only thing from inside

That I let out

This tear

So cold

So clear

Clear

It shows my pain

It shows my sorrow

Look through this tear

It is a looking glass

Into my soul

It is my reflection

Jewelry Box

Its dark wood and gold heart

Grasp the attention of my eyes

The gold heart engraved

With my three initials

The gold heart that

Was meant to represent his love for me

A simple box

With a simple melody

That played whenever I lifted the lid

To remind me of his love for me

When he was not near

Simple

That's what we were

And it was perfect

The best of friends

That's what we were

And it was magnificent

Now I can't quite understand

Why that is all gone

I can't quite understand

Why this little box taunts me so

What had meant so much

Now penetrates my heart so deeply

And so painfully

The red wood

Now fills my heart with flames

Burning down what we had

Burning down what we were

I can do nothing now

But hide it away

As I dare not to look upon it

Hide it away

And leave our love to wilt away into the past

Wandering Eyes

His eyes wander

And land upon

The cold winter's moon

Her eyes stray from here

And land upon

The warm, inviting stars

Both wandering

To far off places

But landing upon

Such opposite sights

Why, on the same night

Does one see cold

And yet one see warmth?

What is deep down

In their very souls

Shall not emerge

Until their eyes wander

And meet one another

Her Life

She rises to her feet

As her name is announced

All her thoughts

Are thrown behind

She concentrates on now

This is her moment

She stands tall

She stands proud

This is her dream

She's making it happen

She's started on the path

She smiles

This is all so right

She knows it's for her

She's starting her life

She knows her destiny

She rises to her feet

And stands tall

She presents herself

With determination

This road is hers

Love's Eyes

Its fragile eyes

Gaze upon me

Everywhere I roam

I see it

But do I dare

Cross that path again

Do I dare

Take that step

Take that leap

No

I cannot

I fear I will

Only be hurt

Once again

Oh those eyes

They follow me

They know

I want it

But they know

My pain

Can I step once again

Onto the path of love?

His Heart

I took from him

His heart

For so long

It was mine

I took from him

His heart

I held it close

I gave it care

I took from him

His heart

Then he broke mine

So I lost his

Love Song

Lonely is her heart

Waiting for love so pure

It whispers a gentle song

Only that one soul will hear

It lets out a soft hand

Only that one soul will take

Forever they will

Hold each other's hands

Forever they will

Serenade each other with song

Forever they will

Be in love

Until then

Lonely may they each be

Until one reaches out

And the other

Takes their hand

His Gaze

His innocent gaze

Stares deep into my eyes

Seeing all that I encompass

These feelings I have for him

Have no words to explain them

Yet I know he knows

When his eyes read my soul

I lose myself

When I look

When I stare

Into that brown so pure

He knows

And I know

That it never can be

Inspired By a Rock (Yes I am serious)

I sit and stare at you

You have probably seen

So much through your time

Yet I cannot learn anything from you

All I can do is sit and wonder

I wonder what you have seen

I wonder who has crossed on your path

I wonder what storms you have endured

I look upon your curves of wear

I look upon the crevices to your side

And I ask myself what you have seen

I wonder where you started

I wonder where you have gone

I wonder what you have seen

I can make up stories

But I will never know the truth

Worrying

She sits quietly

Twirling her soft curls

With her slender fingers

She says not a word

Yet her face

Says so much

Lines across her forehead

Speak for her

Showing what is truly

On her mind

Her pursed lips

Are slightly agitated

Showing all who see her

The thoughts she holds back

She sits quietly

Worrying about everything

Yet about nothing at all

Lonely

The lonely wolf cries

At the solitary moon

Both so alone

Both so mellow

Bringing comfort

To each other

Each night

As the wolf howls

And the moon gazes

The Pain

The pain

It pounds

And it pounds

A swelling

Of discomfort

And sorrow

When can

I escape

And become free

The pain

It takes over

And will never leave

I Can Do This

I will keep looking on

I will not look back

There will be storms

To overcome

There will be joys

To embrace

I will surround myself

With those I love

And let my heart

Lead the way

I will put a smile

On my face

And know

That I can do this

Ready

I look around the room

It is dark

I am silent

The air is still

I am here alone

Wanting to be alone

Yet longing for company

I feel safe alone

But I also do not

I long for someones touch

But I am afraid

I look around the room

No one is here

It may be like this for a while

I'm ready

Unsettled

The world keeps spinning

But where do we stand?

Time keeps ticking

But where do we rest?

Do we move with Her?

Do we exist in time now, or time past?

These questions

They circle about my head

Never answered

Never fulfilled

Unsettled questions

No definite answer

To be answered only in time

For You

I found a lonely star tonight

I gazed at its beauty

And I thought of you

As it shone back upon my face

I found a lonely star tonight

I felt it touch my soul

And I thought of you

As its shimmer danced in my eyes

I found a lonely star tonight

I felt lonely no more

It brought you to me

And now the star is for you to keep

Keep this star

And think of me

Keep this star

Hold it close

And be forever mine

Breath

I breathe in the crisp night air

I exhale

Letting it all back out

And I swear I see your name

Etched in the night sky

Etched in my very breath

You were once

A part of me

My soul knows that

And it taunts me

With images and reminders of you

I breathe in the crisp night air

I hold it in

Until I can hold no longer

And I am whisked away

To a place where you

Do not exist

Released

You have left my soul

And flown away

I talk to you now

But I do not feel

For so long

I was in despair

For so long

I was in deep pain

You have left my heart

And disappeared

I talk to you now

But I do not feel

For so long

I was alone

For so long

I could not breathe

Now although

I have no one

At my side

I no longer feel empty

I feel released

From you

You Can Run

You can run

From me

But I know

That a piece

Of my heart

Remains there in yours

You can run

From me

But I know

That you

Still shed

A small

Tear for me

We are still

A part of each other

You haven't

Left my heart

And I know

I haven't left yours

You can hide it

And you can run

But know

Love is

In our paths

Force

You are

A driving force

In this world

So cold

You are

A single voice

Out among

Millions

You make

Dreams happen

You make

Emotions run

You are

A single voice

That has touched

More than anyone

Has ever touched

You make

Hope come alive

You make

People smile

You are

A single voice

Creating

Hopes, dreams, passions

But most of all

Beauty

Lies 

The sun sets

Over the majestic Istanbul

And he says Seni Seviyorum

I love you

Those words haunt me now

They follow me everywhere

I thought they were true

The word love

To me now

Is like diseased flowers

Wilting in a dying garen

Prevaricate

Thats what he did

He falsely led me on

Made me believe

Made me melt into his arms

To now know

That it was all a lie

Stabs me so deep inside

So deep that I can

No longer trust the notion of love

At Peace (R.I.P Georgie the Parakeet 10/30/03)

I'll miss you

Little one

I'll miss you

Cutie pie

Your whistle

Brightened my morning

Your song

Lifted my day

You'll be okay now

You're at peace

I'll miss you

Little one

You Are

You are

The capitol of my heart

My star in the sky

My dream in the night

You are

The sentinel of my love

My musical soul mate

My richest hopes

You are

The key to my soul

Long Ago

It was long ago

When one would notice

One would notice

A tiny flower

One would notice

A small fly

It was long ago

When one would notice

One would notice

A falling leaf

One would notice

A singing lark

One moves too fast now

Too swift through time

Too quickly through the day

It was long ago

When Earth

Was one of us

I Love

I love

The one

Who left me

I love

The one

Who broke

My heart

I love

The one

Who smashed

My dreams

I will

Forever love

This special person

Though he

May never come back

Indifference

I love you

I hate you

I love you

For all you are

I hate you

For all you've done

It's a cycle

That will continue

Without a doubt

Until I may

Become indifferent

To love altogether

So Silently

So silently

I cry myself

To sleep each night

So silently

I let myself

Drown

In my own tears

So silently

I allow myself

To lose this battle

So silently

I lock myself

Away

From

New love

So silently

I cry myself

To sleep each night

Knowing I will

Never have you

Knowing I will

Never love again

Fantasy

I'll just stay

In this fantasy

For as long

As I can

I'm safe here

No one

To hurt me

No one

To tear me down

There's no love here

It's imaginary

I'd like to leave

It this way

For as long

As I can

For as long

As I can

I will avoid

This evil

You might call love

I'll just stay

In this fantasy

For as long

As I can

Tears of Love

These tears of love

They flood my world

They flood my mind

These tears of love

They take over my dreams

They take over my hopes

These tears of love

When will they be happy tears?

When will they light my life?

These tears of love

For now

Casting a shadow over me

Crying Again

Crying again

When will it stop?

Crying again

When will it cease?

I thought

That I cast them away

Cast these tears of pain

Off to my distant past

But they are back

They always sneak in

They torture me

They torment me

The only way

To cast them off

For good

Is when the one

Is in my arms again

Games

Play these little games again

And I will be hurt

Play these little games again

And I will be crushed

These little games

Caused my uplift

These little games

Caused my downfall

These little games

Of Love

Must not be explored

           Ever again.

Unexpected

I opened the door

And it was there

Staring at me

And calling my name

I resisted

For such a long time

I was not ready

I did not quite understand

It was unexpected

This was new to me

I did not know

Just how to react

So I finally gave in

I let love into

The doorway of my life

Now I only wish

That I hadn't

Complete

When will he come?

He who makes me smile

He who makes me laugh

When will he come?

He who lets me dream

He who lets me soar

He will be the one

Who lets me be

The one I want to be

I will go unchanged

Except for a bigger heart

And a more complete soul

Expectations

Quietly swimming

In her own sea

Of troubles

Quietly sinking

In her own river

Of despair

Show her the light

They always say

Show her happiness

They always say

They always say

But they never do

They show concern

Yet they do not

Take action

Expecting the others

To take charge

Expecting the others

To do as they say

Who then

Really cares?

You Can Say

You can say it will be alright,

But I know it never will.

You can say you loved me,

But I know you never did.

You can say you still care,

But I know you really don't.

You can say many things,

But I cannot trust you.

I left my heart in your hands,

And you let it slip away.

I can say I'm fine,

But you can't believe me.

I can say life is great,

But you cant believe me.

Things aren't the same,

They never will be,

You go your way,

I'll go mine.

You can say whatever you want,

But I know you are a lie,

I know you are a fake.

Forever goodbye.

Without You

I cannot bear to be without you.

But I know you are there.

You are the sunlight peeking into my room.

You are the gentle breeze dancing through my hair.

I cannot bear to be without you.

But I know you are there.

You are the bright smile that shines on my face.

You are the random giggle that loves to leap out.

I cannot bear to be without you.

But I know you are there.

You are the calming scent of a candle.

You are the sweet sounds of classical music.

I cannot bear to be without you.

But I know you are there.

You are the moonbeams upon my face.

You are the stars twinkling in the heavens.

I cannot bear to be without you.

But I know you are there.

You are my everything.

Wish

Wish I had never been kissed.

Wish I had never tasted love.

Wish I had never noticed you.

Wish you had never kissed me.

Wish you had never touched me.

Wish you had never noticed me.

Wish love didn't exist.

Wish love would disappear.

Wish love would dissolve.

Wish I had never known love.

Why? (my reflection on 9-11)

A broken heart,
to be mended only with time.
It weeps for all those lost.
It spits in disgust.
It reaches out to others,
to touch their lives.
Why does the worst of times,
have to bring out the best in us?

Wander

Silver moon sparking.

Blue stream twinkling.

Immerse thyself in beauty.

Let thy mind run free.

Golden stars dazzling.

Green trees gazing.

Indulge thyself in nature.

Let thyself roam.

Freedom from thy world

Is found near to thy heart

And close to thy mind.

Let thyself wander away.

Vow

Upon this day

I make my vow.

The key to my heart

Has been tossed away.

No one shall share

My heart again.

Upon this day

I make my vow.

No other

Can steal my soul.

It is lifeless

From your painful wrath.

Upon this day

I make my vow.

No one but you

Can take me away.

Unsurpassed

Yellow sun,

Gleaming across the land.

Yellow sun,

Flashing her brightest smile.

Silver moon,

Reflecting on the lake.

Silver moon,

Glinting her crystal eyes.

Yellow sun,

Silver moon,

Soul mates forever,

Beauty unsurpassed.

Unknown

She stares blankly across the field,

Not sure of who she is.

Confused and lost is what she feels.

From the outside,

This is unknown.

From the outside,

All is well.

Her inner thoughts,

Unknown to us.

Her inner feelings,

Held so deep inside.

She keeps herself,

Within her own small prison,

Within her own small world.

She emits to the world,

A beautiful and radiant smile,

A warm and open person.

Be careful of her,

She is well known,

But unknown all the same.

Underground

Crimson hair,

Blue crystal eyes.

Her eyes so beautiful,

Her hair so perfect.

Could she really be,

Really be so evil?

Really be so dark?

Oh the red firey hair.

Oh the deep-cutting crystal eyes.

Burning and cutting,

Shell turn you to the underground.

Tsar

The harsh wind blows,

Across all distant lands.

Turning up all leaves,

Disturbing all sand dunes.

The wind is not,

Some gentle lamb.

The wind is,

A domineering tsar.

Disturbing the world,

With insensitive care.

Tossing and turning,

The beauty of the planet.

To Him-To Her

The waves crash down,

Upon the suffering shore.

Seagulls screech harshly,

At the gasping fish.

To him this is beauty,

To her this is pain.

To him this is money,

To her this is death.

The dirty waters lap,

Upon the dying sand.

Dogs bark rigidly,

At the starving frogs.

To him this is joy,

To her this is sadness.

To him this is life,

To her this is hell.

Time

You make it seem like time is against you.

You make it seem like time does not exist.

You make it seem like you have no time.

Take a step back,

And you will see,

That time is on your side.

You are youthful,

Let yourself free.

You are smart,

So let yourself see.

See that you do have time.

You have time to love,

You have time to enjoy,

You have time to learn.

Take a step back,

And you will see,

That Mother Nature has given to us,

She has give us the gift of time.

There Is More

You broke my faith,

And now I lie alone.

You broke my dreams,

And now I lie alone.

You broke my heart,

And now I lie alone.

But

There is more to love,

Than bitterness.

There is more to love,

Than hate.

There is more to love,

Than you.

And now

I've found a way

To keep somehow.

I've closed my eyes.

I've begun again.

The Same Yet Different

I'm not who I was,

Yet I'm still me.

Not the same mind,

Yet still the same brain.

I've reached,

A new level of being,

A new understanding,

Yet I'm still me.

I'm nothing like I was,

Yet altogether the same.

I've freed myself,

From the old self,
Remaining to keep me.

Only will you understand,

When you too,

Become completely new,

Yet are completely the same.

The Music of My Heart

The music of my heart

Calls you forth.

It sings of the days,

The days long ago.

The days when

Your rays lit my eyes.

It sings of the days,

The days long ago.

The days when

Your darkness threw me down.

The music of my heart

Calls you forth.

It sings goodbye.

It sings Goodbye.

Goodbye to the days of light.

Goodbye to the days of dark.

It will not hang on anymore.

Singing to convince.

To convince you are not needed.

Singing to soothe.

To soothe its sobbing sorrow.

The music of my heart

Calls you forth.

Goodbye.

Stuck

Pillow drenched.

Heart shattered.

Pictures torn.

Eyes burned.

Youre gone.

I'm stuck here.

Dreams broken.

Mind twisted.

Hopes lost.

Lips trembling.

You're gone.

I'm stuck here,

Still falling in love.

Still the One

I thought I found the one.

I still think I have.

You were so perfect.

I still think you are.

Even after all,

All you've put me through,

You're still the one.

You're not here by my side.

Not by my side anymore.

But you're still in my heart.

Very deep inside.

There will always be a place,

Down deep in my heart,

For the one who came out,

And blew me away.

You're still the one.

Sorry

You filled my darkest days with light.

You showed me what I hadn't seen before.

You made my heart grow a garden of love.

I'm sorry I couldn't do the same.

I couldn't show you new wonders.

I couldn't make your garden grow.

You painted a beautiful smile upon my face.

You made each day like no other.

You sang me songs that pleasantly filled my ears.

I'm sorry I couldn't do the same.

I couldn't create new and exciting days.

I couldn't sing you marvelous songs.

I'm so sorry.

So sorry that I wasn't breathtaking.

So sorry that I didn't teach you something new each day.

You will always be the one who lifted my life to new places.

Song Without Words

The great wind sings

To all of his subjects.

Easing their pain,

Soothing their hearts.

It's a song without words.

More powerful than

Any other

Much stronger than

Any other.

It's a song for the young.

It's a song for the old.

It's a song for all.

Search Beneath

Beneath my skies so gray,

I search for a beam of light.

Beneath my skies so dark,

I search for one small ray.

Beam of light to come,

One day to lift me away.

One small ray to find me,

One day to bring me afar.

Beneath my skies so gray,

I search for a beam of light.

Beneath my skies so dark,

I search for one small ray.

Oh look,

There it may be,

To bring me to better days.

Profound

She tiptoes up

The stairs of her life

Ever so slightly

Making her presence known.

The shadows

Are her domain

But peers out quietly

When need be.

She quietly passes

Through each day

But has such

Profound effect

On the world.

Possession

Diamond lake,

Crystal stream,

Why dost thou

Call my name?

Glimmering moon,

Sweet, delicate frost,

Why dost thou

Call my name?

What do I possess

That you might want?

Pain

You left me to burn.

You left me to die.

So much pain and suffering,

You allowed me through.

How can I look at you

The same again,

When all you have done,

Is cause me pain?

One Reason

Tears pouring

For one reason.

Heart aching

For one reason.

One reason

For the downpour.

One reason

For the pain.

Lips trembling

For one reason.

Soul lifeless

For one reason.

One reason

For the quivering.

One reason

For the death.

One reason

For it all.

Oh Moon

She dances upon the rays of the sun,

Her heart tickling with joy.

She leaps upon his fiery arms,

Her mind with not a care in the world.

Off in the distance the moon looks on,

Curling her eyebrows in mild dismay.

For she has no little girl or no little boy.

The moon is lonesome and quite distraught.

Why hush moon!

When night falls you have everything.

You are the protector,

You guide us through the dark.

Oh moon look around you!

You have thousands of twinkling stars.

They all adore you.

They all befriend you.

Moon, moon you have all you need.

Let the sun enjoy the youth,

He does not enjoy half of what you do.

Moon bright, you have everything.

No One to Care

A broken heart lying on the ground,

No one to heal it,

No one to care.

A broken dream lying on the ground,

No one to heal it,

No one to care.

Hearts and dreams so tender,

With no one to stop and care,

Causing a lovers life

To fall into thousands of pieces.

No Minds

They have no minds.

She treats us like we're dumb.

Must retain my pride,

For I'm not like this.

They cannot think for themselves,

They just sit and stare.

Nodding their heads at her constant babble.

Lips moving, words not processing.

Mindless

Motionless

Confused

Lazy.

I'm amidst this muddle.

Can't breathe any longer.

Get me out of here,

Set me free.

My Prince

My prince is gone,

Never to return.

Off to find a new kingdom,

Far away from here.

Out to seek a friendlier sky,

Across the land,

Across the sea.

Gone is my prince.

He shall never return,

For he loves me no more.

Move

Must move on.

Move on to the new.

Move on to the road.

Move on to the stars.

Must move on.

Move onto new happenings.

Move on to new paths.

Move on to new suns.

Must move on.

Move on to better times.

Move on to better trails.

Move on to better galaxies.

Moving on.

Moving on to happiness.

Moving on to joy.

Moving on to brighter smiles.

Last

With those last words,

You shot me down.

With those last words,

You took my life.

With that last kiss,

You said no more.

With that last kiss,

You said goodbye.

Last words,

Last kiss.

No more love,

No more you.

I bid my last goodbye.

 Knight No More

You were my knight in shining armor.

You saved me once.

You shall not save me again.

You are my fearsome black knight.

You bring me down.

You shall throw me into the dust.

You helped me fight my battles.

Now you've created yet another.

It Lies in Nature

The trees are my shade,

The birds are my radio,

The stream is my sanctuary.

The trees provide my food,

The birds calm my senses,

The stream replenishes my soul.

Some seek such inner peace,

But search in religion.

It lies in front of them,

It lies in what surrounds them,

It lies in nature.

Illumination

I cried a tear

For you last night.

The emotions ran

Though much time

Has flown by.

I thought that I

Could forget you.

I thought that I

Could leave you behind.

But late last night

I proved that wrong.

In the darkness

Of my bedroom

A crystal tear fell

Illuminating the passion

That remains inside

My heart for you.

Please come back

Into my arms.

I am patient

I will wait peacefully.

Come back my only love.

I Knew

I knew I loved you,

I always knew.

Couldn't be wrong,

Just couldn't be wrong.

You left me standin',

Out here in the cold.

Screamin' for someone to hold me so.

You left me fallin',

Down into the ground.

Reachin' for someone to pull me through.

I knew I loved you,

I always knew.

Couldn't be wrong,

Just couldn't be wrong.

You left me standin',

You left me fallin'.

You left me screamin'.

You left me reachin'.

How could I love you?

Look what you've done.

I Could

I thought you had left

My mind long ago.

I was without you

A seemed not to care.

Until last night

When you reentered my mind

And stepped into my heart.

Although I could not see you

I could sense you.

You have walked once again

Into the depths of my dreams

And I will never let you go,

For you are my forever love.

How?

How can you stop,

A falling heart,

A heart that's falling,

Falling in love?

How can you mend,

A breaking heart,

A heart that's breaking,

Breaking in half?

How can you mend,

A breaking heart,

That's falling in love

With the one,

The one who broke it?

Her Eyes

Her eyes,

Sparkling like diamonds,

Sparkling like stars,

Sparkling with beauty.

She sees,

Your inner beauty,

Your inner thoughts,

Your inner wishes.

Her eyes,

Twinkling like diamonds,

Twinkling like stars,

Twinkling with beauty.

She sees,

Your true intentions,

Your true feelings,

Your true heart.

Her eyes,

They can see.

Held Back

The wild horse runs,

Through fields of gold.

The prairie dog stands guard,

Amongst grains so tall.

Yet far away,

The wild mind runs,

Through dreams so tender.

The conscience stands guard,

Amongst standards so harsh.

The bird soars high,

Through clouds of cotton.

The bear protects,

All that belongs to her.

Yet far away,

The imagination soars high,

Through worlds not known.

The superego protects,

All that is deemed different.

The mind,

Like nature,

Runs free.

The mind,

Like nature,

Held back,

By standards of society.

He Who Creeps

Skies dark and clouds so gray,

Fields barren and so cold.

He creeps amongst the shadows,

He slithers amongst the earth.

Creeping into your precious life,

Without you having a clue.

He fills your days with happiness,

And takes it away just as fast.

Diving in,

Diving out,

He lifts your life,

And he tears it down.

Who is this creature?

From where does he come?

His name is love,

And he comes from far, far below.

Friend

A friend such as you,

So hard to find.

Like a serene sunset,

Like a warm silent night.

A friend such as you,

Hard to come across.

Like a smile from a stranger,

Like a beautiful pearl.

A friend such as you,

So very rare.

Like the perfect diamond,

Like the untouched stream.

Ive been lucky to find you,

Its been more than a dream.

More than any dream one could have.

Friends as yourself,

So hard to find,

And so very rare,

Are the ones that touch lives,

Thanks for touching mine.

Freedom

She sailed upon a star,

And danced upon the moon.

With not a care in the world,

She let herself free.

Far apart from Earth,

Was her wandering mind.

Fleeing from everyday life,

She let herself free.

Riding on her imagination,

Leaping through endless time,

She leaves her troubles behind.

Flower

Flower

So sweet

So pure

Flower

Enchanting young

Amazing old

Flower

Center of gold

Ring of beauty

Flower

Such love

Such passion

Flower

So small

So innocent

Flower

A symbol

A heart

Flood of Tears, Stream of Blood

A flood of tears,

Falling from those beautiful eyes.

How could this be,

When you loved her,

Loved her so dear?

A stream of blood,

Falling from that enormous heart.

How could this be,

When you loved her,

Loved her so dear?

Why couldnt you stop,

Stop the flood,

Stop the stream,

Stop the tears,

Stop the blood,

Stop them from falling,

Into eternal hell?

Endure

Continuously falling

Down a deep, dark hole.

Like Alice in Wonderland

No, like Alice in Wasteland.

I look out yonder

Across the hellish world

With a twinkle of hope

No, with a flash of despair.

Such a cruel world brings

What horrid dreams

Close your eyes now

And endure the pain.
