Awakening

Woke up again this morning, donned my clothes
Trying hard to hide my melancholy
I joined you for breakfast and coffee
And we continued our lie, you and I
You continued to over-shadow unbearably

Every day now it is similar, today is worse
Over a year now has passed
You pretend to be cheery
And so do I, afraid of you now
Our terrible lie, living the lie

I tried to imagine a time, the day, the moment
When we would be in the same room silent
Realizing your moods would cause tension
Tension caused by too little respect
A hatred of me moving forward

I do wish nowadays and have done for a while
As I leave for work sullenly
Dreading the day already,weeping far within
That I had attained my freedom
When we fell apart, that I hadn't given in out of pity

And now, because I long to share my love, my heart
The lie, terrible and unending will cease to be
And I would know the real you bitter and coarse
And you the real me, gentle and lost
Now being outwardly cast, no place to go, no home

But, the lie cannot drag on, for you despise me
It seems you have another, and have had for some years
And uncertainty of any security burdens me
I wasted the love I gave you, will not waste a tear
But I am left with nothing yet again to start a new life

The dreaded truth is it scares me wholly
Trinkets gathered in a lifetime all I have to take with me
A bedsit if I'm lucky, a candle and suitcases three,
Realized too late how long he had wanted
Me there for his advantage, his trinket of convenience

I will not sob for him and his lost soul
My weeping was for me, for my undoing, another failure
As I enter another unwritten chapter of my exhausting life
To find new work, new purpose and share my heart
Trying not to fall apart, head high, I didn't deserve this

Journey Above

???

journey above

never say goodbye
to the ones you love
just wish them well
on their journey above
only time will tell
how the heart will mend
when i journey above
and we meet again
so much time
has gone past
that my happiness
won't return
untill we're together
at last
you promised a love
so long and true
but G-D
had other tasks
in Heaven
for you to do
for you
i see no more pain
i see no more stress
because i know
your soul
has moved on
to a much better address
i will love you
always and forever
and i will forget you

Dreaming in Silence

I had a dream, a beautiful melody
But now it's gone, just a distant memory
It filled my soul, gave me wings to fly
But now the silence, just echoes in my mind

The music's gone, lost without a sound
The rhythm's stopped, it's buried underground
The notes have vanished, into thin air
But the melody's still there, it's everywhere

I close my eyes, try to picture the scene
I see the stage, I feel the madolin in between
My fingers move, I feel the music flow
I hear the crowd, as the rhythm starts to grow

The music's gone, lost without a sound
The rhythm's stopped, it's buried underground
The notes have vanished, into thin air
But the melody's still there, it's everywhere

Oh, why did it have to end this way?
Why did the music have to fade away?
I'll keep dreaming, and someday I will Find
The melody will return, The music in my mind

The music's gone, lost without a sound
The rhythm's stopped, it's buried underground
The notes have vanished, into thin air
But the melody's still there, it's everywhere

I'll keep searching, for that lost tune
I won't give up, I'll count every moon
I'll find the rhythm, and let it flow
The music will return, and my soul will know.

Epitaph to Love.

Eyes I spoke of once, words that burnt then,
hands that cupped soft thy lovely face,
took me from myself for such a space
of time, marked me out from other men,
the waving hair of unmixed gold that shone
amid smiles that flashed with Angelic rays,
used to make this earth, a paradise ablaze,
are but now a little dust, all feeling gone,
I grief stricken, its darkness foreign to me,
alone where light I cherished never shows
in that fragile bark strewn on tempestuous sea,
so, let my loving song come to a close,

as this my Lyric turns to tearful sigh,
the vein of my accustomed art is dry.

Never Know

I looked into her eyes and thought I knew
But she covers her heart with a clever disguise
Needless to say I'm in the mood of blue

You never know
She's that kind of girl
You never know

She laughs when I'm not around
About weak emotions,oh the weekness of my mind
The chance that shouldn't close never opens
Keep guessing if she will ever be kind

With pen and notepad in her hand
She stays on the phone as planned
Which rumor is it now
The one to bring me down

You never know
She's that kind of girl
You never know

This one or that one
Turns out the same
If bitter is the tone
Bitter is the blame

Reversed once again and backwards is the pain
Searching in a circle what can I find
Keep guessing if one will be kind
You never know

I'm sorry

Sometimesits best to just give up, stop trying, stop lieing, and start crying, start dieing. Lifes not worth it, lifes not presious. Death is when your free from pain, hate, sadness. When your tired but can't sleep when your on the edge but can't leap. You need a push. Get an enemy, hurt a friend, steal from family.This is the life we have been given, and can't give back.Day after day the pain grows darker, the darkness grows more painful. Tomorrows another day and I'm sorry.

Be My Eve

- Be My Eve -

Another year passed, and it ended in my tears,
No one saw me cry, nor cared about my fears.
If just one dear lady had tried to give her heart,
To end my loneliness, rather than tear me apart!
I would have done anything at all for such love.
Put her on a pedestal, marble white as a dove?
But art untouched is hardly an object of desire!
Love and passion, are things born of inner fire.
So that I would not do, for it be far too cold…
I would hold her in my arms, and kiss her bold.
Dance with her in the moonlight, mad as night?
Oh indeed I would, and we would be a sight…
People would talk of it for a long time, indeed,
As the purest expression of love as was freed!
And before the dawn breaks the magic spell…
Ours passions would ignite like the fires of Hell.
In the darkness, our spirits, blazing like stars…
Would become a legend, like Venus and Mars.
Like a genie, so much is bottled away within…
Because so many treat passion as if it were sin!

Another year passed, and I fear I shall explode.
I cannot seal away my heart and let it corrode…
People want me to be silent and let destiny turn,
But love is my destiny, and in her flames I burn!
I would so anything, to slake the thirst I know…
For it burns like fire: and freezes like chill snow.
Only the passionate soul, suffers like unto this…
Never knowing peace while it hungers for bliss!
Too long in the shadows, too much for just one,
Share the shade with me, like a silk finely spun!
We’ll sip from a chalice of silver, and not gold,
Just to be different from this world that is old…
My soul is older, but my flesh is still too young,
To honor traditions, of which others have sung.
Let us make up our own, and forget the past…
One life is far too short, and time does not last.
Walk with me, dear girl, and you’ll be content,
I’ll share with you the universe, and firmament.
Too much have I hidden away as others laugh!
So much I can share, if you will share my path.

Another year passed, but why let it go in vain?
Why spend another year thinking of your pain!
Answer my call, for the hourglass cannot wait,
Give in to desire, and become my soul’s mate!
Life is like a sea far from many a friendly port,
We all defend our harbors by putting up a fort.
But soon comes the time to put cannons aside,
To build beautiful gardens in which we’ll abide.
Eden is not lost, if we keep creating it, anew…
With love as the creator, a course staying true!
You can spend a lifetime lost on lonely waves,
And we can lie unloved going into cold graves.
But that is not the way I wish to pass my time,
So come, be my Eve, knowing a love sublime!
Whilst the meadows are green, and sunlit fair,
Oh maid make merry, put flowers in your hair!
Let me show you all the places where they lie,
While still they bloom, beneath an azure sky…
Waiting, like me, for your touch to grace them.
Be my Eve, a goddess no god shall condemn!

Do They Not Know?

Do they not know~
These insensitive men~
Just how deeply their words
Pierce our very hearts and souls?

Do they not think?
Do they not know?
Do they not care?
That their words~
Uttered in such a glib manner,
Sometimes even followed by a chuckle,
Have hurt us so deeply.

They say things~
Warm and tender and loving things;
And then,
When we respond accordingly~
With love and caring and tenderness~
They shoot us down.

They say it was our imaginations.
They say their words were not real.
They say it was just a fantasy.

Do they not know
Or do they just not care
That their words break our hearts
And make us fearful of them~
Make us insecure about their feelings
For us?

Do they not realize
How much pain they cause us
And how many tears are shed
Because they are oblivious
To our needs?

Do they not know how badly
We crave security
In the knowledge
That they truly care?

Do they not know~
Or do they just not care?

Waiting...

I was waiting for my time to come, to rest my weary head
And looked upon the things I’ve done, and never looked ahead
To times to come, when days are done, when we lie alone in bed
What does it mean, this life alone, when all is done and said.
