Simmer down
keep your head down low
breath it out
you're gonna be fine
it'll all
be over in a matter of time
The sweetness of the harp
plays forever in my mind
its soft and soothing notes
I cannot leave behind
each strum comes to my ears
and leaves footprints in my mind
I hope that only you
will be just as sweet and kind
When I wake to catch a sight
the sun fills my thoughts with fresh new light
The melancholic melody of winter is passed
and my new spring eyes are opened at last
Anew beginning comes when the sky greets the sun
this spring has gracefully come
Dark heavy clouds say their annual goodbyes
now I can open these new spring eyes
A knock on the door was all it took
to break my heart with just one look
you slowly walked wearing smile
and opened the door taking a while
she responded with a blush
the noise in the room came to a hush
she walked past you with a toying gaze
you watched her pass as if in a craze
the class 'ooed' and 'awed' with sweetened expressions
the girls thought he's such a gentleman
I couldn't bear to watch or listen for that matter
my heart was broken, beaten, and battered
I thought my feelings had left
now they've resurfaced with a painful heft
I hate it when the highs bring the lows
and each dive delivers a mightier blow
I am let down deeper I slowly drown
My mind is set in an invisible frown
Now I hide the suffocation inside
Because I need to be strong for the ride of the high.
feel it in your fists to your feet
the drum casting a shaking beat
your heart beats faster
faster that the beat of the drum and its caster
you imagine it's a dream
then realize it's all too real than it should seem
your hair swirls round your head
swings and whips till you see red
your feet lift from the ground
taking you farther away with this sound
the beat overtakes your soul
holding your body under it's control
you love this spell you're under
it makes you feel alive as your chest fills with thunder
but the beat fades and falls
and you wish the drum could hear your call
it slows to a soft thrum
and you wake up from dreaming of the drum
Only if for a night I could call you mine
I'd listen to your voice
feel the rush of your whisper
with hands intertwined
No moment could overshadow
because in the darkness
is where we find each other
creating an everlasting glow
I hope you never let me go
holding me tightly in your heart
emotions rush out but I will always stay
it's what I want, what I need
I hope you know
