What is the sound of one hand clapping
Shhhhhh, listen very hard
Can you hear it, hear the noise
The sound is deafening in my ears
What is the sound of a heart breaking
Tearing, splintering, falling apart
Can you hear it, this sound so painful
Broken pieces dropping all around
What is the sound of broken trust
Broken, smashed, beyond repair
Can you hear it, shattering glass
Pieces scattered in every direction
What is the sound of faith breaking
Day by day the pieces break off
Can you hear it, the sounds of despair
Gradually, little by little it breaks away
What is the sound of love dying
Love that was so strong and true
Can you hear it, sounds like silence
That will separate you from me

What is the sound?

"These fragments of time"
A voice once whispered a question to my heart.
Why do you love me?
Composed posture and attentive ears wait for the answer
But impatient eyes seek to read the words as they leave my lips.
With an unguarded smile a list of reasons came in the response.
That moment was penned in the dairy of my memory.
Years passed and now there is no we, just “you and I”.
As I look into those same eyes, I hope for that question to be asked.
But I may never again hear those words from you.
So if you ever read this and wonder what my answer would be?
My response would be “I have no reasons.”
For when you have reasons for loving someone then you love them with your mind.
But when you love them for no reason then you love them with your heart.

Summer wind's blew sofly were she lay
Summer winds passed over her that sunny day
Summer wind kissed her face as slept a dreamless sleep
I felt the summer wind on that hill that day
I felt my own heart break as her soul it went away

nothing can last in unending time,
when the sun has shone brightly,it
returns to the sea.
the moon wanes ,which just now was full,
so the savagagery of love's passion
often ends up as a gentle breeze

Long time I see that thing in front of the eyes.. again and again
and I feel so much regret and pain inside
like a candle inside a cold house
this feeling cold and empty
If I can combine the time with passions
and bring back the memory and glory
I will feel so free
truly!
I know for so long
that feeling will burn me..yes, that feeling..
so much nonsense appeared that time
and the unnecessary emotion around
Everything seems so right
at least for that time
Somehow I feel so right
but truth is not always exist
I regret and I truly hope
to have another reasons to build the time again
that I always miss so much
It won't pain..I guarantee
It just a simple feeling that don't know why feel heavy
Just a word..
I need just a word..
Long..long time ago
I wish I have told you before
.........I wish..
but I had regret now...

Give me strength so I don't fall
Cause no one wants me at all
There is no hope there is no day
Cause I deleteted them away
It hurts too much to breathe the air
I'm tired of people who just don't care
Alone I walk along the beach
Your smile is just beyond my reach
Heading towards the burning sun
You set my course and now you run
I see you've found someone new
What did I do that was so bad to you
I lie awake and drift away
Hope that this hurt will leave today
No words can mend a brokenheart
Never given a chance to start
My eyes are swelled up with tears
You've never noticed or even cared
With hands like ice there turning gray
Its my life that you've betrayed

I suffer in my silence since you've gone away
Not knowing the reason why haunts me everyday
Lost in confusion and trying to understand
Why I feel like such a foolish man
A foolish man is what I am for loving you
And now that your gone I don't what i'll do
Everybody said that we were meant to be together
I believed the lie our love would last forever
You believed something else, I guess I wasn't
part of your plans
You left me looking like such a foolish man
A foolish man is what I am for loving you
And now that your gone I don't know what i'll do
Winters kiss was cold but not as cold as your goodbye
The clouds can hide the sun but not the tears in my eyes
I wake up alone every morning to face who I am
Just a lonely foolish man
A foolish man is what I am for loving you
And now that your gone I don't know what i'll do
Such a foolish man that's what I am, such a foolish man that's what I am,such a foolish man,such a foolish man.......

I feel so alone
without you by my side
I was addicted to seeing you everyday
and now your far away
I yearn for you
and die inside each day
I cannot stand this
Like being ripped away from the only happiness
you are my one
and without you I am empty
and alone.

How Can You Leave Me Here This Way
With So Much More I Have To Say
All The Pain I Feel In Inside, I Can't Hide
These Twisted Thoughts Consume My Mind
And I'm Feeling Cold
Like That Long Winding Road
That Leads Me Back To You
How Can You Say You Love Me Too
When In Your Heart I'm Number Two
How Could I Have Been So Blind
To Think That One Day You'd Be Mine
I'm So Alone I Hope I'll Wake Up And Find
It Wasn't All Just One Big Lie
And I'm Feeling Cold Inside
Like All The Times I Cried
When I Was Away From You
And Everything I've Done
Don't Seem To Mater None
Cause I Am Still Just Number Two

The Dream to Be With You Again
The Thoughts of Love Fill Up My Head
I Rub Your Hair
And Kiss Your Lips
Gently Caressing Your Finger Tips
Your Skin So Soft
Your Rounded Breast
To You I Give My Life and Death
I’ll Take You To
New Heights Unknown
We Dim the Lights, Unplug The Phone
I Kiss Your Neck
And Free Your Mind
All Your Thoughts Now Left Behind
Our Bodies Hot, the Passion Soars
Someone Knocks Upon My Door
As I Awake the Dream Is Gone
The Ticking Clock Says 3:01
You’re No Longer by My Side
Bitter Tearz Roll from My Eyes
My Stomach Cramps in Utter Pain
I Yearn To Be With You Again.
