If I say I love you,
Would you say you love me too?
IF I say I miss you,
Would you say you miss me too?

If we ever got together,
Would it be forever?
I know that you say you love me,
But is it really true?

I just want to tell you,
That I love you too

Reduce speed road work ahead next 5 miles
But the rain will keep pouring down
For a hundred or more

I've been this way many times for sure
But this time is different
Than all the times before

Giving up and letting go
As every song on the radio
Keeps telling me she won't be talking to me anymore

Through the lonely years
I've been driving alone with a broken heart
Now it's no use to anyone who wants one that torn apart

It doesn't matter now how many miles are left to go
Wish I could turn memories off like the radio
And now the rain is really starting to pour

Miles of heartache and one last goodbye is all I was really looking for
Reduce speed road work ahead next 5 miles
But still I travel alone a hundred or more

Peace of mature mind in the autumn
Mulled wine and a sleigh in the winter time
In the spring the delight of eyes
Surprised at what they can see in mine
But in the summer a curtain dancing with the wind
As call of the cuckoo is being heard
Kisses that convey the smell
Of Your hair on my lips
A brush of butterfly wings
While You are passing me by
And when You place Your hand on one of mine
And when You smile

They say that time will heal wounds,
but who knows if that's true,
I've waited time and time again
but still I'm feeling blue.
This gloom remains above my head
with rainstorms pouring down,
And I can't think of anything
to help me fix my frown.
I haven't asked my friends for help,
I haven't asked a soul,
'Cause I don't want to bother them
or drag them in this hole.
It's hard to tell if I exist
or if my life is real,
The only way to know for sure
is with this sharp cold steel.
I know that this is not the way,
but oh well I don't care,
Just one more slice is all I need
then no more cuts I swear...

When We find Love
We Breathe Freely
when we loose it
we Breath Deeply

Strangled By Our Efforts
Surrounded by Ourselves
Made our Best Approach
Still Feeling we Failed

When Starlings Fill the Sky
The dark Cloud opens, to "Bright White"
A Rainbow Winks of Hope
And birds, Make a Heart in Flight

We see a sign of Hope
A Promise in the Sky
Tears of angels
of Love slipping Bye

Love is Like Oxygen
Without it we sigh
Keeping that Hope
Without some Oxygen, We Die Inside

We tend to Doubt
We wonder why
So Many times, the Answers
are in The Sky

Never let opinion of an average man sway you.
Dream..... and he thinks you're crazy.
Succeed... and he thinks you're lucky.
Acquire wealth.... and he thinks you're greedy.
Pay no attention, he simply doesn't understand.

A toast my darling
to a brand new world
of gods and monsters,
shall it be gin?

I am reanimated tonight
sometimes I feel
like a monster
I belong among the dead.

I want a lover
someone like me
together we can delve
into the mysteries of the afterlife.

You woman
can be a friend
a lover
a bride...

Life's a fragile slice of a knife. But the might in a life has no price.
Desire to overcome everyday struggles.
To live for the wonders & smiles which true love holds.
'Cause the world needs its beauty, its women.
The world needs its music, its rhythm.
The world needs its elderly, their wisdom.
The world needs it youth, its freedom.
The world needs its poets, their words.
The world needs a voice to be heard,
Some peace, a moment to pause, a little less fear.
The world needs to listen to what it refuses to hear.
Ignorance in your ears, no sign of concern in your eyes,
stumbling through the years with a tightly closed mind.
We will find clarity & truth, I demand it,
the mass commands it's by the people for the people so I know my demographics.
Driftin' through a sea of many different kinds of addicts,
Can't stop lying & making wrong choices they know they choose,
the distribution of alcohol, drugs & porno to our youth,
fiends hurting people running to their raging substance use,
hiding from the truth behind a safe, secure excuse.
This' what I have to say...
from killing & stealing to cowards in denial of their child abuse,
I know how to tie a noose! Tie it tight so they can't get loose!!!
I know how to tie a noose! Tied tight so they won't get loose!!!
I know how to tie a noose! Tie it up right so they can't get loose!!!
I know how to tie a noose! Tonight they die, tonight they lose!!!
If I go it doesn't matter if I stay...
..that doesn't make me who I am, I can always change...
...I don't like that I'm this way but I've been forced into a corner...
...forced to fight for my life...
forced to fight a brother!!!

My love is deep
My love is blue
It's tender feelings
When I'm with you

It's hand in hand
And cheek to cheek
It's soft and warm
And never bleak

My love is deep
My love is blue
It's coloured that way
When I'm not with you

Love is blue.......

Our Old Baggage
(c) 2011
Jemma Lilley

The baggage that we carry round
Which drags our knuckles to the ground
The past mistakes we all regret
The hurts we simply cant forget
The turmoil grief and all the pain
The hardness on our hearts remain
The lies untruths which stab our souls
The anguish burns with gapping holes
Our bodies weary, full of fear
Produce some angry, bitter tears
The ones once loved we cannot trust
We cant forgive but then we must
We grieve and mourn what we have lost
We count up all the priceless cost
We drag this baggage round with us
We take it as we board the bus
We take it shopping at the mall
We take it to the concert hall
We take everywhere we go
We arent aware we do this though
We struggle here and struggle there
We struggle with it everywhere
It clutters up our living space
Despair upon our saddened face
We take it travelling to work
The devil. in our baggage lurks
He steals away our peace and joy
From everybody, girl and boy
Men and women not immune
Sad music plays familiar tunes
He loads our baggage with more fears
Accumulating over years
Our baggage soon it weighs us down
Upon our face a deep etched frown
We then inflict the ones we love
We scream and fight we push and shove
The heaviness upon our minds
The little cracks ithe devil finds
For years we carry this around
And drag our knuckles to the ground.....

But wait!.....LOOK!!!

Oh Joy! we see a shining light!
That lights the dark and scary night
Soon the night it disappears
The bright warm sun dries all our tears
A brilliant glow of peace and love
Radiating from above
Our baggage is now gently taken
Our loving Lord has not forsaken
He picks us up. dusts off the sand
He walks with us hand in hand
And Jesus holds our other one
Our new adventure just begun
They leave our baggage by the road
Relieve us of our heavy load
So we can gain the strength to fight
The demons that taunt us at night
The ghosts which haunt us disappear
The pain's relieved no need to fear
So now that baggage old and worn
Dirty, tattered, broken, torn
Left at the roadside way back there
We cast our worries and our cares
New luggage, we now carry round
No longer drags us to the ground
A lighter smaller load to take
Our burdens lifted for our sake
Its filled with everything we need
Our spirits nourished as we feed
We move away from all the strife
To a better peaceful loving life
Where friends will warmly greet and smile
And walk with us a many mile
So put that tattered baggage down
That drags your knuckles to the ground
Dont wander down that same old track
Leave it now and dont turn back
No stones to stumble as we tread
A solid path the road ahead
Fields of glory, sunlight bright
Our hearts rejoice with pure delight
Before us oh! the vision grand
A gateway to the promised land
