THE LITTLE THINGS

little things that mean so much,
A casual glance or a gentle touch,
the smell of her perfume,
just the way she lights up the room

the butterfly's in your stomach,
when she walks by,
the flairing of your nostrils
and you know why
the longing and the waiting,
for that tender touch,
the little things in life that mean so much

now she talking to me,
playing with her hair,
she leaning in and listening to what I say,
my heart is pounding and I know why
getting lost within the look in her eyes

could it be she likes me,
could it be for real,
just wishing we were closer,
my heart is signed and sealed,
don't want to believe,but it seems so right,
must we be lonely again tonight,
soul is crying for her touch,
the little things in life mean so much

Summer of deceit

Summer begins and the new relationship is simple bliss
Everything is perfect, every touch and every kiss
The weeks go on and you fall more deeply
Let down your guard for everything feels like it was meant to be

Weeks turn into months and you throw caution to the wind absolutely
Touches become more intense, kisses drive you to insanity
Not a day goes by without feeling missed
You feel special and give your trust, you take the risk

Summer draws to an end, night comes quicker
Phone calls become less, your days grow bleaker
Hot sunny days become cold lonely nights
Peaceful happy days turn into countless stupid fights

Nice conversations become a thing of the past
Arguing is constant and you see the end coming fast
Summer is completely over and winter draws near
You put back up your guard, freeze your heart and dry every tear

You sit and reminisce of the laughter you once shared
How close within your grasp happiness was when you thought they cared
But reality makes your heart freeze as cold as ice
For it was nothing but a Summer of Deceit and your heart will pay the price
But time will heal, winter will numb the pain
And by next summer you'll be ready to melt again
Ready to submit to the disguise; release yourself to believe the lies
Ready for another Summer of Deceit and another round of goodbyes

Ice Queen

She knows she has a heart for she can feel it beat
Yet she doubts she has a heart for she can feel no heat
All she feels is the coldness from within
All she can do is wonder if this is what it takes to win

For what she wonders is love besides heartache
What is gained from it except pain in your heart as it slowly breaks
A couple days of laughter and months of pain
Weigh the options and be cautious if emotions come near

Some build a door of steel to keep love at bay
But unfortunately someone finds the key to that door someday
And to love they become a prisoner,locked in a bottle like a genie
Only difference is one day wishing never to be set free

But when the master does set them free
For the master no longer requires their servitude and company
They are left broken,lying in bed depressed,at the brink of insanity
Calling and pleading,my love please come back to me

But she has now found an answer to this disease
Never should she let love enter her life and destroy her peace
Keep emotions far away indefinitely
Ice Queen is her name,as cold as ice that's how she'll be
She will sit on her throne of solitude and endure it peacefully
Expect nothing,feel nothing,gain nothing from love is her philosophy

"The Paranoid Heart"

Does a scarred heart ever heal
Will it ever take the down the guard and learn to love and feel
Or will it remain forever locked in paranoia
Fighting the butterflies and denying the feelings forever

Is the paranoid heart the one with the most sense
Does it have a genuine reason for putting up defense
Does it realize in love there's nothing but pain
Does it sense that in trusting your heart there is nothing to gain

But oh how it misses the feelings of stupidity
To believe in fairytales like Sleeping Beauty
But the paranoid heart knows it cannot act on those butterflies
For the flutterings will be destroyed by the hurt and the lies

What if thee is such a thing as honesty
Does the paranoid heart shut out a chance to be truly happy
Will there be content in pasting a fake smile and never trusting your feelings completely
Oh how the paranoid heart misses it's innocent security
When love was just beyond the path
And when it maintained the beliefs that dreams came true and feelings last

But the paranoid heart remains locked in a cage
And look out at those who believe in love and be amazed
For try as the paranoid heart might
It just can't let down the guard and put up the fight

For everytime the wings of the butterfly flutter
The paranoid heart gets scared and runs for shelter
So once again the paranoid heart accepts defeat
And ignore the emotions that runs through it with each beat

Thinking

What are you thinking?
Sometimes is what I ask
You are so unpredictable
Makes me wonder how long
This feeling for you will last
You are a good one
I am so glad we met
Evan though I don't know you yet
That I know will take some time
And you are worth more than mine
I know I am not perfect
But I surely try
I don't want you to leave
I want you to stay here please
Not here as in Kentucky
But here with me
You don't evan know me
Yet you know how to make me smile
You should feel lucky
Not many people can
But I still want to know
What are you thinking
Are you thinking about me
Are you thinking about him
Or are you thinking about home
Maybe just thinking about another smoke
I don't know and it drives me nuts
It puts knots in my gut
Sometimes I wonder
Why do I feel this way about you
I barely know you
Yet I wonder
What are you thinking

Love isn.t blind

So it seems this is it,
Our scene is finaly over,
This phase has all but come to an end,
we both have to admit,
we wont get no diploma,
When we talk of loving,
We just pretend..

Now we're calling it quits,
The feelings have all faded,
good times have gone,just doing time,
When it come to the bit,
Our interest was was deflating,
Love aint stupid,, love isn't blind.

when it comes to the split,
this can't go on any longer
Rebuild our lives ,start all over again,
Were both in a state,
Bad feelings growing stronger,
Love isn't stupid , Love isn't blind

"Take the risk"

SO scared to risk a try at love once more
So wary to unlock this door
For I placed my heart behind a door of steel
Promised myself never again to love shall I yield

I've been broken-hearted and hurt before so I decided to turn my back on love forevermore
So distraught I thought I'd never believe in fairy-tales again
Happy endings were sought after in vain
But through pure coincidence we met
Now my promise I want to forget

I want to believe in second chances
I want to believe in happiness and romances
But each time I take a step toward you and me
Something pulls me back from indulging completely

For there's always the chance It could be fake
There's always a possibility my fragile heart can break
In life there's no insurance policy against heartbreak
Just enter love blindly and trust in fate

But to love and to lose is better than to never experience love at all
It's all a part of life,the ups,the downs,the rise and the falls
So I take the risk and give you my heart
A gift most precious as I trust you not to tear it apart
Now I belong to u explicitly
For my heart,my body and my soul now belongs to you entirely

"Words of a penniless fool"

Where does the rarely seen valor and unbroken stride hide?

The only adornment on your skin should be pride.

Let those be the treads of the cloth.

There's no price to be the flame and not the moth.

With such uncertainty we desperately try to find a meaning of this life.

For some the quest of love and simplicity will suffice.

But others are on a pilgrimage for power and money which comes with any sacrifice.

They say seek and you shall find, but sometimes you end up empty handed.

Sometimes we burn the candle on both ends to meet everything that is demanded.

It is in our nature to be lust drunk and we are addicted to taste that it could last.

But time is no one's friend, it will never wait and before you know it, memories makes what's present the past.

As humans we are the closest things to what we perceive as god and the devil.

We can give the gift of life and take it away, in those aspects we can either be a saint or a rebel.

There's no right path, it doesn't matter if you stay a steady course or stray.

What is important is that you some how leave you mark that will never fade but in the pages of history adhere.

Its the one thing that can prove that you were once here.

"For the profound State of Ignorance & Democracy of Arrogance"


Let them hear your voice.
Don't let silence be your choice.
Speak your mind even if you waste time to explain.
F**k it, when it all boils down you either lose or gain.
Regardless if "I'm sorry" is perceived as a weakness or strength.
Light is always the ladder to escape darkness's depth.
Simple minded people always live in f**king bliss.
Always blind, never thinking about what they miss.
Stupidity is an idiot's charity, always lacking clarity.
Even when you're right, you're mirrored with animosity.
Never surrender and join calvary if you can't beat them.
Say f**k you and point your middle finger towards them.
Stand for what you believe in, even if it brings you stress.
History remember the defiant and pussies die nameless.

"Time of Dying."

Time of Dying,
I look up and see the moon smiling.
Blood rushes from these wounds as the essence of life leaves me.
A past is what if left behind but only seconds are all ahead of me.

Is this death's cold breath I'm feeling?
Or is it that my heart only wavering?
Last thought, is too late for me?
At least I left a note of my "I'm sorry" to redeem me.

Who knew crimson will the last color i'll wear.
But guess no one will even care.
Save you're fake tears and don't waste time to cry.
Call it weakness, but at least i had the strength to end my life.
