It is all we need
To conquer around us
Peace of mind
To know the meanings
And the questions to which have no answers
Silence is silence
Revealing what is beneath the veil
Is the truth behind the silence
That says it all

Simple boy
Innocent love
Starry eyed
Full of hope
Full of wonder
Full of life

Wearing his heart on his sleeve
Maintaining his optimism
Be still my heart
Dreaming of where he is
Swimming in his eyes
Drowning in his love
Falling in his embrace

Color my world
With your fingertips
Paint the sky
Bring life to the canvas
Color my heart
With your love

A simple boy
I fell in love with
Showing how to paint the world
No longer black and white
Colored my soul
Simple boy
With his heart

A hand covering up the light
The glamour fading into the distance
A shattered mirror
Reflecting lost beauty
A youth forgotten by the sands of time
Blood tainted
Blood shed for mere nothing
A darkened sky
Stars exploding
The glimmer in the sky
Destroyed
Fire consuming
Oxygen dissipating
Breathless
Taking flight into an abyss
Where fiends roam
And light is dark
Traveling in a motionless state
Reaching a destination
In a bed of flowers
Singing in my sleep
The words are fragile
Yet as sharp as a pure diamond

I'm awake now
Sing to me with your voice
Your words are magical
Almost lyrical
Almost like a songbird
I pray to be yours
And only yours
Sing to me your song
The one you sing for her
But should belong to me
Only me

How can you sleep at night
Knowing what you have done to him
Causes him to stir
To you, it was ***
For him, it was ****
How can you sleep

She cannot explain
What lurks inside her brain
We can only pray
For her that she will be well
How can she sleep at night
Not knowing what tomorrow will hold

How can we sleep at night
Knowing what has been done
How can we sleep at night
Knowing we can help

Where are we now
At a red light
Time passing by
Slow motion now
Everything, a blur

Where should we go
Lost a sense of direction
No compass to guide
Just intuition
Just looking through a mirror

Farewell my snow white queen
Your company was delightful
I will never forget the beauty you showed me
Nor the pleasures enjoyed in your presence
Once again I must say farewell
To a beautiful snow white queen
That captured my heart

Go against the norm
Everyone will hate
Pretend to be something you are not
Someone might enjoy your company
Here we are
I support
You're against
Let's cross the bridge
And hack off the ropes

It only takes a second to get that elation
A feeling so high
Yes, only lovers know
Doves will soar
The sun will radiate
And a rainbow will lead you to the *** of gold

Please future soldier
I don't want you to go to war
If a draft should come
Death would slowly enter me

I don't want to see any pain
Let alone in your face
Tears still form right now
Panic fills my thoughts

Will it come sooner
If so I wish to tell you
You are everything
So please don't go fight

God graced us with your presence
And although it was brief
We were blessed to have you in our life.
Nothing could ever change the joy you brought
The laughter you graced us with
The smiles that brightened our day
Although they are gone
One day we will be reunited.
And even then we will be smiling
Like nothing was ever wrong from the start.
Heaven took its angel
Saying he was needed
But that he would watch over us all.
God sent an angel to protect us
And now that his job is done
He’s watching from Heaven.
Sending us messages in subtle ways
Letting us know everything will be okay.
And although our hearts are breaking on this day
And our world has dimmed a little
The candle flickering in the wind
Know it shall never be put out
And we will never let your memory fade
And your love will never be replaced in our hearts.
One day we will see you again
And the world will be lit up
And we shall laugh and rejoice
Forever in eternity
A delicate flower that swayed in the wind
Wilted for a time
But life has breathed into it a second time
Giving it a second chance at life
But we cannot see it nor feel it
But know that it is there
Invisible but a guiding light
Like a lighthouse guiding ships from their watery graves
An unseen force pushing us to our limits
The sweet aroma leading us to our desires
A hand showing us that life will continue to go on

Somewhere there is a place I long to be
Somewhere I will love with my heart
Somewhere I shall know a home

Please just leave
I see no reason for me to keep hope
You can only say sorry
But sorry cannot help
A fragile heart you mishandled
It does not beat anymore
It lays there as useless as you

Waiting to exhale
Will that phone call come
Are you going to stay for a little while longer?
Or will He call you to a higher place?

Months have gone by
And it's so hard to breathe.
Haven't cried in quite some time,
Quite unsure if it's still possible.

Hanging on to faith
But I'm slipping from reality.
Entering another world where you're fine
And there is no more pain.

Can I hold onto faith any longer?
Can I be strong for you and me?

No words to utter
Mind is blank
Your being was all I ever wanted
Your embrace was all I ever longed for
And I fell for you
But feelings were not mutual
Not reciprocated
Every time we see each other
It is a slow death
Rendered speechless

The touch of you
Still lingering across my skin
The thought of you
Fresh in my mind
An angelic voice
Whispering softly in my ear
A sure embrace I once knew
Love so pure
Fading into the distance
Traveling the universe
To free the stars of themselves
To eat the sun and darken the worlds
To give the cosmos a reason to exist
Floating in space as high energy
Passing time by counting the stars
Waiting for a supernova to save us

There, there
The world can say what it wants
Remember there are others
With a sense of compassion
Those are the ones
Worthy of your kindness
Dry your eyes little brother
And shine like the starry nights

We are here!
We are fierce!
We are everything God gave us
We are the children of the free
We are the lovers of this world
We are the ones that declare war against others
We are independent
We are everything we hoped to be
We are strong black women!

I know where I stand
Alone underneath the starry twilight
Heeding the warning of impending disaster
Losing faith in the journey
On a summer night's eve

Needing rain to bring the shine
Light to guide
Darkness to rest
Grow my tiny seed
Pouring my rain over you
Inner thoughts and memories
Washing over your tiny frame

Sitting by myself
Gazing in the water
The breeze blows
Mist trailing behind
The sound of seagulls not far
But in the far horizon
I can see the sun rise
A beautiful way
To start the day

Pink in the horizon
Painting the sky with colors
Palette a rainbow
Summer breeze
Listening to the ocean
Seagulls crying
Sky deepening
Heart opening
An evening spent with someone
Enjoying the precious colors
That paint the sky

Lost my chance tonight
To say how I truly feel
Guess who lost the game tonight
Yes it is true
There are unspoken words that I need to say
Before they drown me in fear
Involved with this overactive imagination
Love, love, love
Such a sweet bliss
How it is to love
Another emotion that needs attention
Something I can hardly give
Yet I am willing to give it a chance

Stillness in time
Hearts ceasing to beat
Proving what I have to accomplish
To please the likes of you

Speaking in tongues
To waves crashing on the shore
Gibberish is all it knows
But our heart understands

Carrying a shimmering light
A beacon of hope to guide
To light the path
Of a darkened road

Feeling lost and all is forgotten
Colors fading to a bleak grey
A voice hoarse
Soul, numbless

The ending of us
Highly inevitable
The ending of the world
Maybe

Love the world
Know that the pain of the heart is just one day
And when time feels like life is lost
And when the hope in your eyes is broken
And tears are anything but sweet and joyous
When your drunken stupor has left you in the air
Without a tightrope
I am there

To whom is this addressed to?
I lost my sanity
I lost my friends
To my caustic tongue
Leave loneliness to me
Let the emotion stay within

To you I leave this
I leave my love
My hope
My muse
My common sense
To you

Tell me
Why is it such a hassle to be near
Constant attacks
Too much to bare
Loved by one and none
Tell me
Is it better to be feared than loved

Knock knock
Should I open the door?
No, the mail can wait
Perhaps it is a neighbor
Looking for their lost pet

Ring, ring
I open the door
Looking for solace
Finding only emptiness
My only friend

Please understand
I fell for you
But you didn't care
You stood there not saying a word

How could you lay there
Ignoring all the surroundings
I was foolish for thinking you could be the one

Should have known that you were no good
You were never there to listen
To talk, to console, to comfort
Why are you still here
Pretending to care?

Flying through the sky
Traveling in light years
Racing past the stars

Close your eyes
Feel the sensation of being high
Forget the lonely nights this once

Good times
Flashing through my once fragile mind
Now a wasteland

The garden once in bloom
Now withered
Dead and wilted

Lost and drowning
In your eyes
Sinking under your skin

Long conversations wanted
To be loved and held
If only
