The Measure of a Man

Well I can tell you read some novel once, got caught up in some fantasy
And I can tell that somehow you think life should be that way
Where there's some valiant prince so handsome there to grace your every sunset
With his elegant bravado swaying maidens on the way

And I can tell you're disappointed
Guess I just don't understand
What it is that you believe
Marks the measure of a man

Once I loved a princess from an island south of nowhere
And we wrapped around each other like the stars around the sky
And you know once in every while now, I can still remember
How we loved as though we'd never lose, and sometimes I still cry

So then you say I'm just a baby
Guess I just don't understand
What it is that you believe
Marks the measure of a man

And once upon some younger time, you were enamored by ideals
But then you got so jaded when you lost your case upon appeals
And all those nights in shining armor, with that countenance of stone
There's never been enough to go around, and so you choose to live alone

I'll light a candle in the desert
And pray you someday understand
That it's the heart that really matters baby
And that's the measure of a man

No One Wins

Now it's all been said and done
And I guess you're really gone
Oh, I never meant to hurt you like I did
But I guess I tried too hard
And now it seems I've broken
My own heart

Well you know you really tried
Just to keep your pain inside
Now I can't forget the magic of your touch
How could I have ever loved and lost so much
I guess it ain't no secret now
I'm not so tough

Why does true love always end
Like a whisper in the wind
It surrounds me and it tears my world apart
Wraps around me as it swallows up my heart
And here we are alone again
Where do we start?

Yet another 3 am
You know this bottle ain't my friend
Where are you girl, do you ever call my name?
Are you lonely when you're walking in the rain?
Can we really love again?
Whose to blame?

But it's all been said and done
Yeah, I guess you're really gone
And I'll never feel your warm embrace again
I close my eyes and all this pain comes crashing in
Tell me why we play these games
No one wins

About this poem:
Basically, on this one, I made up a beautiful, sad melody on my guitar and needed some words to fit to it. So I sat around for like, 2 years waiting for them, and then they finally came in a rush and I jotted them down in about 3 minutes! Sometimes it's like that!

CARING AND SHARING

we search for caring
and loves more caring
we need sharing
but fails,more to share
caring and sharing is the true love
anyone wish to share more
he can care more
then he should be cared and shared more...
but it is not easy to care and share
until we understand each-other
if we fails to share, no one will care !

Here She Comes Again

Here she comes again
Like a long lost friend
You know she'll only drag you around
You can't chain the wind to the ground
But here she comes again

And she drags you down
Makes you play the clown
You know she's only leading you on
You will never be the tune to her song
But here she comes again

Yeah you told me you'd break free someday
But I can see that you're still wearing chains
Too many lonely nights
Too many sad goodbyes
Too much pain

And she leaves you like before
Close your eyes, and close the door
All you know is that you've lost at the game
You try to find some way to deal with the pain
Until she comes again

Until she comes again

Sad Guitar

Saturday night again
Oh, it seems to never end
They say there's love out there for everyone

They say every show has a star
And so I play my sad guitar
Sad guitar

There in the dark of night
With all the music and the lights
And all these faces that I've never seen before

Oh, I never know where to start
And so I play my sad guitar
Sad guitar

Looks like it might rain
Sky is cloudy and gray again
Oh, but that's OK, that's just the way I feel

But there's a fire inside my heart
And so I play this sad guitar
Sad guitar

Under the light of stars
God, I'm so tired of the bars
But I'll keep playing 'till our paths converge someday

Oh, I know she can't be far
So I will play this sad guitar
Sad guitar
Sad guitar

About this poem:
The third song I ever wrote, I think I was 17, playing the bars with a friend of mine, too shy to talk to the ladies.

These Dreams

Rainshine and sunfall
The night in the stars
A day of illusions
An hour too far

12 o'clock sun-dogs
Chasing the moon
Cast upon shadows
The walls of my room

And if it seems love
Is just frozen in steam
I'll be awaiting you
Drifting around through these dreams

Meadowdrift snowflowers
Cars in my ride
Hair all a-mess
It's so windy inside

Wild horse and tame flower
Isn't this real?
I'm having a moment
For just you to steal

And if it seems love
Is just frozen in steam
I'll be awaiting you
Drifting around through these dreams

Yes, I'll be awaiting you
Drifting around through these dreams

About this poem:
I was hiking in the Wasatch mountains and it started raining, so I tucked my guitar away in its water-proof case and was just sitting there when the sun broke through a spot in the clouds and made a brilliant rainbow in the falling rain. I thought, hmm, rainshine and sunfall! And there it was! A cute little song born in a moment of whimsy!

Forever Never Lasts

Told me that you loved me
You led me through your door
You give me your affections
I never asked for more

But now you're getting restless
I can see it in your eyes
You told me that you loved me
Now you tell me that you lied

Girl don't tell me you don't want me
You know I'm not that strong
I gave up my defenses
When you convinced me I belonged

You tell me that I'll love again
But I can't believe it's true
What have I to love with
I gave my heart to you

Goodbye is never easy, I know
Even the one who goes
Gets hurt too

And it drives me crazy, just wondering
If you're somewhere thinking of me
While I'm lying here thinking of you

Told her that I loved her
I led her through my door
I give her my affections
She doesn't ask for more

But I know she holds the question
As the fire fades so fast
If love always lasts forever
How come forever never lasts

If love always lasts forever
How come forever never lasts

How come it never lasts

If love always last forever
How come forever never lasts

About this poem:
Yet another love lost song, rather prosaic, but if you could only hear it, it really does make a gorgeous song, even if I do say so myself!!

How The Light Reflects

Play it just that way son
Said the old man with a smile
'Cause when you play it sad and sweet
It feels alright for awhile

And the stained glass of his eyes
Was like a worn out movie screen
With screenplays of lost promises
False hearts, and broken dreams

(ch)
He said; I've searched the world for answers
But I haven't found them yet
It's never quite the way it seems
It's how the light reflects

In the angry city evenings
One can vaguely hear the cries
Of the children born in hunger
And the anger borne in lies

And the night holds desperate promise
But it wants to shred your soul
If you stare into those lights too long
You know you'll lose control

(ch)
You try to put the past behind you
But you never quite forget
It's not the game that draws the crowd
It's how the light reflects

So I sit here on the beach
An old guitar in weathered hands
And think about the days I used to
Wander through this land

And the ripples on the sea
Reflects the light of a billion stars
While the memories that I run from
Start to gather around my heart

(ch)
Oh, I thought I'd lost so much there
As I paid my last respects
But it's not the pain that wounds the heart
It's how the light reflects

La De Da

Well you can't take a dreamer
Away from the stars
Sometimes I think I'd fly
One way to Mars

If I just had a reason
As good as the view
In the world of my dreams
When I'm dreaming of you

La de da…

Oh, you know I give thanks
For each moment you gave
Not for whole worlds would I
One memory trade

So now carry on bright star
Remember me some way
Where the wild wolves run
I will sing for you someday

A PHONE CALL

On a snowy morning a phone bell rings
she took it and answered
a friend of her talked more and more
about their childhood days and
ever memorable schools days
she waited for an year for that phone call
that day was January first and her birthday.
her friend never forget to call that day
and to talk about their lost life and future.
she was so sad to reveal her to days life
it was rally unexpected as they wish in child hood days
but she forget every thing after her friends call
they shared all memories and hopes
no one can stop their thoughts and feelings
they are so free to talk and share life
bcuz they cannot live without good memories
and that memories gives more hope in their life
and she will be waiting for a phone call on next January first...
that never end as waves of good memories...
