American I am my own person and where my speech fails / My words will still prevail
It's the same old game Were we seem to run around in circles You start just fine And run the race strong; confident But your strength weakens And confidence fades... So we fall behind...again Our paths diverge so far apart The fear sets in of losing the other So we begin the race again And already, you are slowing down...

My sweet Lady Sea, how she calls to me (a) The Hurricane’s wind batters my white sails (b) My heart locked away with her golden key (a) Battered and broken by wind my will fails (b) Through forbidden seas, I am lost adrift (c) Carried by the currant of a love; shared (d) Heart of mine, torn asunder with a rift (c) I leave it open, all thoughts of mine bared (d) As I lay aboard my raft, I now know (e) That in the darkness of my heart I thrive (f) To see the sunset in the west aglow (e) My sweet and gracious Sea, I will survive (f) The captain’s heart forever raging mad (g) With the thought of she so ******** clad (g)

Shakespearean Sonnet #1
Love does not exist For love has been The death of me I ripped out my heart And in your hand It did bleed Love is only a lie, Of a hope Forever out of reach

Love's Lie
The darkness, encompassing Is darkest before the dawn Resisting light of change Lost within the embrace of routine That has been nothing more Than ball and chain Sinking and sinking Beneath the ebbing wave Into a world of silence In the glow of an eerie light A world so different from our own With a color all its own Shrouded in hazey grays and deeper blues Deeper and deeper where only black remains Below the surface Lost, in darkness awaiting its dawn A dawn forever in its coming But a sun must rise And banish the encompassing darkness, Surrounding me

Just Before the Dawn
Just let me be, a faded memory Forever lost in the time frame of a forgotten thought Like writing etched upon the sand Of a mind and heart that changes with the tides That pull and pull Between you and I Your heart sings to a melody That constantly changes key And my heart and mind, just can't catch up Our chords once aligned in harmony Now shrouded In eerie dissonance

Fading
Lost in the darkness of my night I have long since lost sight Of that warm and distant light That some call love. With broken heart and broken limbs I'll be stranded in the cold; Cold dark and freeze Let the memory of my face be lost amongst a whispering breeze For I am nothing but dust.

Dust to Dust
In the dark Beneath the shadows of my own heart I'll hide behind myself. Under the dark new moon The princess waits within her tower But, no one is coming. The princess nothing more Than an unruly, best forgotten Maid. The incomplete fairytale Just waiting for its happy ending An ending never coming. Locked away in the tower; tall She'll hide away, within the darkness of hopelessness Residing in her heart. No prince will ever be in sight So blinded is she With her own tears.

Incomplete Fairy Tale
I'm just a number on your list Just some addition that you can brag about No second glances or second chances Just a number.... No more a person with a name When reduced to double digits No emotions nor humanity When labled with a number I lose my face Forgotten; with the next addition

Just A Number
We all fall down sometimes And need to be, Picked back up All it takes, is a reaching hand, Arms outstretched To break the fall. But no one's there To catch my fall So, I'll just keep Falling Down

Falling Down
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall ( And I built my wall supported on you) Humpty Dumpty had a great fall ( You let my wall tumble) All the kings men and all the kings horses (At least Humpty Dumpty has people running to put him together again) Couldn't put Humpty Dumpty back together again ( Like Humpty, I don't think I can be fixed)
