Thoughts running through my head,
I wonder what went so awry.
Was it something I did or something I never said?
Like lightening through the midnight sky,
My heart is torn in two,
Between the hurt that can't be healed,
And the love I felt for you,
The love that can't be concealed.
I've held my breath for far too long,
Sinking beneath the weight,
Of all the things done wrong,
And all the harbored hate.
Regretting the ardor,
I am sorry that I ever loved you so,
Now it only makes it harder,
For me to let you go.
Please tell me why,
I can't stop the tears from falling?
Or why you never heard me cry,
When my voice kept calling?
If only you knew, green eyes, what I cage inside.
You think you read me like a book,
But it's going to take more than a passing look,
To uncover the secrets that I hide.
You're going to have to stray into the deep.
Green eyes, I can never let you see,
Exactly how much this means to me,
Or what, inside, I keep.
Oh, Green eyes, you don't have a clue,
About what goes on behind this brown eye;
You'll never know how much I cry,
Over shattered hearts, broken spirits; over you.
If only you knew,
That which I won't ever say.
Oh, Green eyes, if would be so easy,
If only I told you. . .
But easy is no way for this to end, Green eyes.

Where are the Concrete?
Where are the Absolute?
We swim in a sea of trepidation,
Caused by all this indecision.
Why are we so eager to break our own principles?
We are running against our own identity,
Chasing away all we've ever known.
How can we call this sanity?
I'm sick of living in the 'maybe'.
We throw away our morals,
With both hand and heart.
I'm mad to find the concrete!
This monstrosity is growing
In a place where our comfort is in the lukewarm.
We are rapidly growing colder.
Our eyes have long been shut and our tongues mute.
We are prompted to stay silent
And even I've forgotten who I am.
Somewhere, along this w
How could I have let myself slip away without a fight?
I've lost my core to empty promises.
And so easily become a slave,
Leaving it up to these materials to secure my contentment.
We've made the gravest mistake;
Thinking that these lies could heal.
These passing exhilarations that assure to be our happiness,
Has proven to be our downfall.
With each day, a new whim.
We fill our void with void.
This lie has posessed us.
We are selling our fire for flickering trick candles.
Someone pinch me,
Wake me from this whirlwind of buying and selling.
So long have I been dreaming of this dream of riches
Without notice I've slipped into thi
I've seen the light.
The color has pierced this black and white yard.
Daylight rays have punctured my night.
Now, I can move only forward.
I stand, I walk, I fall.
But still the light shines hard,
At the end of this infinite hall.
Where can I go, but only forward?
Even when I shut my eyes,
My planet turned black,
I remember how the light melts away my lies,
And I know there is no turning back.
I stumble, I break, I crawl,
But I won't forget the light.
Though I always manage to fall,
I can never return to blind sight.
I've tasted the sunshine,
Peace has lain on my thirsty tongue.
I can never rest until I've crossed that lin
We have run out of excuses.
Have we nothing left to say?
Have we any reasons,
Why we have gone to waste another day?
We all lie awake at night,
Unable to shut our eyes and drift away.
Wondering how we let it slip out;
How we lost another day.
Have you anything to tell,
Did you do all that you wanted?
Knowing you can never have it back,
The squandered time leaves you haunted.
Time never stands still.
Moments tick by so fast.
Can you even remember how you spent it,
When it has come and passed.
Why are you standing still?
What is your direction?
Won't you see the beauty shining through?
You can take this pain and make perfect

Earth, Wealth and Heaven
Earth, will you ever fail to disappoint me?
Once again, you've let me down.
These fantasies are not all they are hinted to be.
Wealth, you are not worth the renown.
Earth, you've let me down once more,
Wealth, you've left me empty handed.
This isn't what you promised before.
You've left your mark, left me branded.
Earth, won't you give me your word,
Never to charm me with your charade?
Wealth, show me mercy, now forward.
Cease to torture me with your lies by brigade.
Let me be!
Wealth, won't you stop calling my name?
Your greed is stealing my empathy.
Earth, you are the one to blame.
Heaven, help me snap out of this spell!

My road is long,
Meandering 'round and falling steep.
The wind sings to me a hopeful song,
Telling of a day when I'll reach home.
Home seems so far away,
A place only seen in dreams,
A feeling only felt in a lifeless day,
A sight for sore eyes and sore heart.
No road signs for us to ensue,
This road goes unmarked.
A vision of peace is what we pursue.
Can we be sure of what's over this hill?
I cry out for a place to call home,
A point to lay my broken body.
Too long have I taken this way to roam.
I can't rest until I've found rest for my soul.
The concluding day has come.
The sky turned black.
The crimson sun falls beneath the horizon one last time.
Do you wish your day back?
Your desperation is too much to put into words.
Time can't end, you say.
You've got so much that you've planned to do,
On the new year, on tomorrow, on the coming day.
It can't end now, not like this.
Can this be the last food to touch your tongue?
Will you ever see him again?
Are these the last people you'll be among?
You're running a race against Father Time,
The finish line is coming up fast.
All your life you've been running backwards,
It's too late now to fix the past.
There is no later n

This Storm Will Pass
The clouds are bleeding heavy beads of rain,
Loosing the torrents and duress.
The wind bemoans its lonely song of pain,
Thrashing on the erect without regress.
The firmament is candid and grieving,
Her tears falling upon desolate earth below.
Our last hope is that this downpour is leaving.
This storm will pass.
It came down on a sunny day,
Breaching the secure hope of humanity.
It came down to show it's ugly way,
With false pretenses to break our unity.
This Storm will go by.
Yes, in mere hours we'll see the day once more.
The light will return to the sky.
Rita, I let you know we'll be stronger than before.
But for now in this
For so long we've been curtained,
By this unfeeling shroud of night.
For so long we've been certained,
That we'd seen the last of light.
But in our darkest hour when we've turned our back,
The palest shadow of a promised dawn,
Breaches the yawning sheet of black.
The velvet pink revealed, the dark drape drawn.
We wait,
Muttering hushed hopes of light.
With unspoken flutters we anticipate,
That the sun will climb again to new height.
The fading stars emit their final glint,
Desperate to shine before they blend.
Finally surpassed by the glowing tint,
The shadows dilute, thinning at their final end.
We wait.

Everyday, they walk past each other,
Paying no more than a minute's attention.
They never think a moment further,
Than a nod and smile in recognition.
And they'll go their separate ways,
Totally oblivious to their mutual feelings.
They go on to pass their days,
To see their own friends, and handle their separate dealings.
He was the book worm,
She was the fiery performer.
He'd always be the norm,
And he'd never stop to understand her.
They lead two different lives, write their own books.
Their eyes meet in attraction,
But nothing ever came of the seizing looks.
Neither would ever take action.
So they'd lost the promising day
There's no moon tonight
but you're still looking up
daylight's soon to break
but that's not good enough

I would hold you in my arms

You broke this young artist
While she was still in bud.
Watched all her potential
Fall to the ground in the mud.
You stepped on her with your combat boots
You squashed her under your heels.
How could you be so cruel?
Didn't you know that this young artist feels?
You never spared a second glance
Thinking your work was done,
So you didn't see her rise again
It's going to take more than that to kill this one.
You broke this young artist
Which in the end made her.
She's talented but scarred
And would like to return the favor,
Of making her and breaking her,
Of molding her into who she is.
But there was much pain getting here

A Lifetime of Love
Eyes met across a crowded room
Was plain for all to see
That at first sight he loved her and
She was in love with he
He walked across, and took her hand
He asked to have this dance
She accepted graciously,
He's glad he took this chance
The night wore on, the music slowed
They locked in warm embrace
And when it came to time to leave
Still chewing at her face
Now time ticks by
I wonder how
This couples getting on
So you and me
We'll go and see
Continue with this song
There came a time when he got down
Upon a bended knee
Proposal was accepted and
A marriage we will see
And on that day the groom turned up
