I know what I want But if I'm smart I won't take it I know what they want And If I'm smart I'll take it But I want what I want It is what my heart yearns for University of Washington You are my love University of Wisconsin You are my brain Which to choose, my heart or my mind?

Forced to Choose
*Run away with me for a day. Let's go to a place that's surrounded by mountains and a lot of green forest trees. A place where the flowers will sigh and blush when they see us kiss and touch. A place where we'll get to be the normal us. Away from the public away from the law. Away from those with judging eyes and the haters dressed in disguise. Let's run away so far away. Where we could kiss and hug. And talk about our dreams with passion to one another. A place where I could scream the words of I love you out loud while I feel so confident and proud. A place where you'll take my hand and count to three. Lean forward and ****** a kiss from me. A place where we'll make a little bonfire and have some coffee and tea. Stare for hours at the blue skies. Watch the dandelion seeds and pollen grains float away up high. Wait for the stars to come out at night. Where we'll be the only audience waiting to watch the show they'll pull on. The only lovers up late in the open wild. The only ones who'll appreciate the light they'll radiate in the dead of night as they'll shine bright in the dark skies* ~

Run Away With Me
I'm not one for sentiments But there is love and possibility So much hatred in the world Why not give kindness a shot If I am going to be free Free from all kinds of oppressions I have to give up the selfishness That I am smarter than life I have gone insane from theologies And religion hasn't saved my soul The past is exactly what it is Can I ever go back? No. I've taken hard knocks to know Only what experience has taught me There's only one thing I need to know Life's a ***** no point in it Can't I just accept there are possibilities That are beyond my puny mind of mine Things that can't be seen but are there I can't see love but I can feel it It's in the air and the smell is sweet Why should I let there be peace? It's because I haven't got the energy To hate just one more day

Not One For Sentiments
From a sun spitting its tears of flame From those fires borne, the dragon came And oh wonder, a foolish earth did seek to tame Its claws were like molten iron, two eyes of that same ember flame Its every step shook and scorched the ground, every breath evanished the rain Its roar rattled bones and stilled hearts in their ******* And such a glare, few had a match or such courage to test Upon burning wings and on its igneous cries! A dragon heaved fire and set ablaze to the skies! And none, righteous nor wicked, had darkness to hide But it t'was not done for justice, nor to rally fears T'was done simply because the sun had shed her tears.

The Dragon
Lead me along to the end of the line Where I’ll take all my woes and leave them behind Step by step the world draws near When time resumes so will the fear Fight, fight, fight It burns, this raging of the light These walls have stood strong from the day they were risen So now begins the cataclysm It shakes and shakes, right to the hollow in my heart It break and breaks, the walls begin to part With silver string I try to tend Frantic stitching meant to mend Silver straining to hold the pacts Struggling to close the growing cracks But in the end the walls cannot hold In the end my defenses fold And in and in the tides invade The one thing that all have obeyed The time, the time It is here Now there is no stage for fear The stone does crumble The earth does rumble Dodge the rocks as they tumble For here is the wave as it washes through Even if you have not a clue Wave your arms and kick your legs Swim the currents you must brave So I swim, I swim for the shore Sink fingers in the beach, aching and sore I’ve lost the silence I knew before Wild and untamed life abound Terrifying beauty does surround Ecstasy and agony walk hand in hand As I roll to my back on this bed of sand The gilded cage is torn asunder Bared to the world, this splendid wonder You led me along to the end of the line Hiding from the world was my crime Take a deep breath Prepare for immensity Take a big step Because courage is necessity

The Wave
I lost my heart to a dame called fame And every day I worshiped her the same Adoration and power, everyone knew my name Every step and twirl drew me deeper into her game I found myself dancing on a slippery ledge in the rain Until my feet bled and what I lost was much more than I gained When I could dance no more she twirled into another's arms Seducing new lovers with her old flashy charms Who knew not the dues by which she set their alarms She left me behind, limping and all used up All because I proved I loved fame far too much Sold off little bits of my soul for the favour of her smiles But fame does not love you back, it simply beguiles

Burn Out
Mesmerized just like a flying moth to the flame. I hear your soul, it's crying out to me and calling my name. It's far too tempting to stop, And way too hard to resist. Got me wishing, thinking, what I wouldn't give for a kiss.

Call of the Siren
She was mystical                             beautiful                                         an angel in the flesh. You were gullible                            swoonable                                       a romantic, nothing less. I was tired                    unwilling                                a friend at its best. Her call was alluring                                     entrancing                                               a song to summon all the rest. And it was too late                              hopeless                                        you didn't have too far to fall. But she caught you                                that demon                                          with her deadly siren's call.

The Siren's Call
This siren that sings out my name Calls me abroad to oceans untamed Over waves and under cloud churned skies Through rain and hell my vessel flies Through turmoil and treachery, beyond it all Still I hear her haunting call Drawing me on, begging me to haste Through starry darkness, past time and space Adventure is the song she sings Of life and stories, these incredible things To compare her allure, all others have paled The answering of her call I’ve never failed Onward to her melody I will always run Forever she sings, this chase never done.

The Siren
I wonder if I tilt my head a bit on the side, so my jaw would be angled just right, so my nose would be touched nicely by shadows, so my eyes would spark to lure the light- I wonder if I walk a few steps towards, perhaps a few steps back- I wonder if some type of arm stretch, or head rest- will make you ask for my number. And you- a fine sculpt of a man do not need to do any but breathe then, to have it.
