Daffodils and sunflowers
lie like broken lanterns-
shattered in the moonlight.
Beside them the willows weep
swaying somberly
beneath the stars.

These eyes do not change me
And you spoke the name
And now I'm lost forever
A spoken name does not blame me
But you felt the same
And now I'm lost forever
These eyes do not tell me
Why your lips move and swell
And now I'm lost forever
Your broken heart cannot help me
Save the hammer from the nail
And now I'm lost forever

Within the whispered winds of night and the silver dripped tongues of leaves.
Within the solemn boughs of weathered willows
and the twisted toils of twilight's illuminated troves.
Beneath the purple shrouded moon, within the shadowed groves,
I see her glow within the starry sky.
Beneath the icy, luminary stares, the trellised branches in despair,
the gilded tears of dew that drench my dreams,
I lie, within the broken lanterns of the daffodils.
Within the laurels of the bay,
within the crimson roses, tangerines and cherries ripe;
the rapture in the moonlight passes by.
Forever, she shall glow within the starry sky.

The things I will miss when I have gone
The twinkling stars the moon and the sun
The flowers and the trees
The birds and the bees
The animals all around
A childs sweet sound
The sky so blue
The seas and oceans too
But most of all
And this is true
The things I will miss most is you

THE TRUTH IS THAT PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS
GOING TO HURT YOU IN LIFE NO MATTER
WHAT BUT ITS UP TO YOU TO FIGURE OUT
WHICH ONES ARE WORTH THE PAIN

Say friend, don't I know you ?
You've been, around here before.
But now, come to think of it
I can't place, just who you are.
But you sure seem so familar,
Say now, don't you know me ?
Yeah, friend I'm sure I know you,
So, tell me who could you be ?
Or, maybe you just remind me,
of this old pal of mine.
Someone, I have needed,
to have a talk with for sometime.
But he never really wants to hear,
what I've got to say.
So, he just tries to ignore me,
hoping, I'll soon go away.
And friend, I must tell you,
You're not looking so well.
Not, to put you down none,
But you're looking like hell.
See how your hands keep shaking,
while you're holding that glass.
Friend, you sure could use a shave,
Say when have you eaten last ?
Hey friend ! Can't you hear that bartender ?
Shouting it's closing time !
I'd like to hail us a cab,
But, you've spent our last dime.
You keep sitting here, just drinking.
Don't you care, about nothing else ?
Please friend won't you look at me... I'm talking.
Or can't you bear, to even... take a look at yourself ?

About this poem:
This poem/song just came together, after seeing a drunk, having a conversation with himself in a bar-room mirror. It truly made me sad, at the time. aware3

As you stand upon me as i cut deeper and deeper,
i can smell the alcohol on your breathe, as i tell you " I love you"
those are the last words i knew i would say to you.
knowing there is no good-bye. you sit down holding me and crying saying " I love you" those are the last words and they hurt

YOU LOST YOUR SOUL
SOLD IT TO YOUR DEVIL

THE SHORE LINE
As I walk along the shore line
My bare feet in the sand
I long to see my sister
And take her by her hand
We may walk along in silence
For no words we’d have to say
And cherish every moment
As we walked along our way
We may talk about our childhood
The laughter and the fun
The joys that we both shared
When we where very young
We’d pause in breathless wonder
Of the beauty all around
And listen to that music
And the sounds from far beyond
So when I’m felling lonely
I’ll know just what I’ll do
I’ll take a walk along that shore
That takes me back to you
