When you first caught my eye, i fell in love in an instant.
The beautiful sound of your laughter filled my ears and never ever went away.
I can hear it still, in those quiet early mornings.
The ones where all you can hear is your thoughts and dreams,
The sounds of the many birds chirping blissfully in the trees.
I yearn and pine for you.
I feel the bittersweet pain of imagining you lying there,
Your soul missing its identical twin in me.
Oh how i long to feel you in my arms again.
That first embrace you gave me, it was as if time itself stood still.
I felt the overwhelming joy of having all my dreams come true all at once.
My darling, you are my idol, my knight in shining armour, my confidante and saviour.
You have my very soul sitting in the palm of your hand.
It's yours to do with as you please and i am not afraid.
Some people feel an intense insecurity in this knowledge.
That someone loves them so much that they are willing to sacrifice everything they have for a situation such as ours.
I'm laid bare with all my thoughts of pure love for you.
I would wait an eternity for you if it were possible.
I have watched and admired you for so long.
I've seen you make mistakes, cry, laugh.
I've felt your pain as you talked to me about your problems.
I felt them as if they were my own.
I gave you my most sincere and honest answers as of course i should.
Despite knowing the pain was caused by another,
I wished you well and hoped that one day you would find the happiness you so desperately sought.
Like i said before you don't keep the one you love.
You set them free and hope they never want to leave.
That is how i feel for you.
I'm so grateful for the brief amount of time we spent together.
The memories of that night will spend the rest of my days on this earth close to my heart,
In a safe place where nobody can disturb them.
As we laid there naked as nature intended us to be, holding each other,
I knew i had to leave but never wanted to go.
I heard you say you didn't want me to go but you knew i had to.
My mind is filled with that sentence all day and night.
Did you mean it?
How i wish i could take us far away from this awful situation.
To go where nobody knows us so that we may live free of the fears we have.
To simply love each other like we want to.
Like we dreamed how love should be.
One day i hope my dream comes true if you do indeed share my vision of our lives, together.
You have an aura around you that captivates my heart.
It envelops my senses.
It knows i'm there and my heart beats so loud as i see you across a crowded room.
You look beautiful as always.
You don't believe me but its true.
Of all the people i have known in my life, you are the most precious.
When you walk into a room the atmosphere lifts,
My spirit is enlightened and i'm filled with a joy that defies description.
My beautiful lady,
I love you with all my heart.

As you move your knight to bishop 3
Your spiteful eye courts the vengeful,
Alice through the looking glass ?
Grass ever greener in pastures new
The devils kiss drowned my reverie
Sweet sorrow’s born to kill.
Rhythmic dancers gently sway
But oh so brief the moistened flesh
allay’s the fear of bitter tears to follow.
Risen sun, upon dark times cares not
How profoundly sweet is the little lace
caressed upon a polished floor.
Littered dreams, a thousand years may swallow
The idle heart would surely bow to greed
if not for stalwart men of leisure.
Strike up the hearty alehouse rock
A tapping foot as strong as any stone
Acquiesce to borrowed beats and pleasures of the day.

Free up your mind and wonder
take your hurt away
when all your head is gone
when you know you don't belong
sentimental journeys all
take my hand and we'll fly away

Lay your head on mine
share the heavy heart
its over now
if i can i'll help you anyhow
turn a frown into a smile
take my hand and we will fly away

Some may even say
to hold a truth in lies
i'll be moving on
love should sing to me a pretty song
all i hear is minor keys
take my hand and we'll fly away

On angels wings we ride
heaven surely hides
keep us from safe from harm
shelter lessons learned that hate derides
i'll let you go so long, goodbye
my only love you can, fly away.

fly away, fly fly away,
fly away fly away……... fly away……….
fly away……….....
fly away

Time was taken away from me.
Even though i tried.
I wandered through time
in a dazzled state of mind.
Tortured from a thousand memories.
Mr lucky was no more.

Sitting in a cold room.
On the floor a desperate frame.
Watching the anguished rain
flow down beyond my face.
Why cant i see sunshine ?
Why cant i hold my happiness ?

Sunday beckons forth with
alarming regularity.
It cares not for my woes.
Never asking for reasons why,
in still calm waters, i wonder.
You should not dare to caress
the thoughts of joy.

There is a glimmer of light,
It shimmers just within reach.
A compromise from nature given.
Untold riches await my call.
And yet I cannot say yes,
I would lose the very thing
my heart bleeds for.

A stranger comes from heaven.
A calm and strong mind.
I seek no mistrust or emotive pain.
Only thoughts pure of spirit.
A guiding light to heal wounds past.
And from within grows might,
a force all powerful.
No more shall I seek the dead in reassurance.

This is my time !
With nothing to fear but fear itself !
I reign and am, despite illness of mind,
A king of kings within.
A throne without a royal standard.
My castle walls breaketh not.
In silent gratitude, my heart beats proud
No mortal mind can obstruct.
