The vibrance of the colours On the clouds amidst the sky Remind of the depths I see While swimming in your eyes The calm of summer meadows Of forest trails and such Pale into the background When I feel your calming touch My world until I found you Was living without colour Then you came into my life And gave me love like no other

Words flow with truth and lies Though peoples souls show in their eyes The gentle softness, steely gaze, Excitement flashing, gloomy haze, Watch the eyes for their emotions Listen for the likely notions Mother’s watching children play Making memories as they stare Tears shed or held back tight Closed in prayer every night Hear the words and read the soul Find the eyes that feel like home

My life in your eyes
Why pray tell Do I fight any more My energy level Is through the floor The pain I feel Each waking moment Saps my strength Makes living torment Talking falls upon deaf ears Must be in my mind The doctor fears The tunnel has no end in sight This pain is with me For all my life So why pray tell Do I even fight

Why fight
Where can I find you I never stop looking Your out of my grasp The voices grow Screaming, crying Begging, pleading… Then I see you Clear and silent Touch… The voices whisper Stop crying Peace.

Peace
Your eyes, your smile I’d walk a mile On broken glass To see them Your thighs, your chest I’d crawl through hell In petrol Just to touch them Your cheeks, your lips I’d roll through pins And lemon juice Just to kiss them For all of you My soul I give To keep it safe I LOVE YOU

Pain for love
What are you afraid of The DARK once asked What do I hold That frightens you so Nothing you hold I’m afraid of My answer I’m frightened of what I’d become When I wear you to hide my face

Don’t ask for no answer
Those good old boys That rode the sea To storm the beaches At Normandy Knew all to well Right from the start Most of those men Would not come back Yet still they filed Into the fight From landing craft They did alight Their weapons charged Bayonets fixed Surging forward Into the mix Bullets flying All around Screaming comrades On the ground Blood in the sand Stained with red Brothers in arms Laying dead The things they did And all they saw The stark tragedies Of a brutal war Always remembered With a silent tear Never forgotten Held most dear

Never forget
Why do I feel so alone When I am in crowds Why am I so quiet When others are around Every truth I wish to say Gets stuck inside my chest Each and every single day I just want eternal rest

Alone in crowds
Take this life away from me I don’t want it anymore The pain is just too much to bear It runs into my core Emotional and real Why does no one listen When I tell them how I feel My life is pain and anguish Physical and not I’m waiting slowly dying For the final breath to leave me For the end of all my suffering

I don’t want it
The love I hold is endless Deeper than the sea Your face is radiant beauty The only thing I see Your touch is pure pleasure It electrifies my skin Your kisses send me reeling Every second is a win I could not believe it On the best day of my life You agreed to marry me And forever be my wife
