What is love?
Asked the snail to the to the bird,
Does it come from above?
Do you see it in the world?
Can you find it with your eyes?
Does it look a certain way?
Does it come in a disguise?
Or do you see it straight away?

The bird was silent for a while,
He thought about his trails,
When he answered with a smile,
He said "Well, little snail".

You know the breeze that blows?
Gives you goose bumps on your skin,
And the water when it flows,
Like the motion felt within.
Its like the fire when it burns,
Sometimes it can be scary,
When the passion suddenly turns,
That is when you should be weary.

Little snail I'm about to,
Tell you what love really is,
This answer is for you,
So shh and listen to this..

Its giving someone the power,
To completely destroy your soul,
If ever things go sour,
Your inner warmth will turn cold.
Your love will take a piece of you,
And nurture it forever,
But nobody can choose,
Who their love will endeavor.

The snail started to worry,
Said "Will i ever find it?"
Should i start to hurry?
I'm probably right behind it!

The bird let out a laugh,
And said "Oh no, don't stress"
Love will find you on your path,
When your time is best.

I thank you for your patience
And all our conversations

I thank you for your time
You're the tequila to my lime

I'm greatful for your laugh
As we wonder down this path

I'm greatful for your love
You're the hand to my glove

I'll remember that you said
Sundays are spent in bed

I'll remember how you sigh
Every time we say goodbye

Its you i won't forget
As your path to death is set

Its you i will carry far
Always living in my heart

As i stay unto the end
Before your soul ascends

I'm thankful i could love you
And that you also love me too

Candle flames that burn apart,
But can not burn together,
A self-destructive path,
Yet claiming to be better.

The candle wax has fallen,
From the moment of the spark,
I can hear the demons calling,
Light flickering in the dark.

The things i can not see,
Are there in night or day,
Some parts of me are free,
Other parts are in a cage.

Wax dripping like a tear,
Warm and loving on my finger
While some things disappear,
Other things still linger.

Stars that twinkle bright
Do so through storm and rain
As long as it is night
They'll twinkle just the same.

The wind will scare your eyes
And the moon will steal your gaze
But up there in the skys
Theres a star that never fades

While we know of it's existence
But rarely ever seek to find
The wonders between our distance
Distant wonders of my mind

Sometimes i find it strange
To care about these days
As i know things always change
Life is nothing but a phase

One moment that is wonderful
In disorder and confusion
The night becomes so colourful
In the midst of my illusion

Like the star that winks at me
Through a dark and stormy night
For a second i am free
As it twinkles a little light

What is it that we want in life? What is it that we need?
There are some who give their energies while others just feed,
Half of us are seeking truth while the rest of us deceive,
Through personal justification we live and we believe.

You do something bad for your own greater good,
Disregard your morals, not doing what you should,
And when the truth comes out, you claim misunderstood,
Creep back into your space, creep back into your hood.

As the days roll by, we're all growing old,
And to the night time life your youth has been sold,
You're taking what you can, oh but low and behold,
The people you had by your side have all grown cold.

Be sure to put yourself first, as you always do,
Make sure you give yourself what we wont give to you,
As long as you're on top in your one man crew,
The sun will always shine, the sky is always blue.

You brightened our days
In all sorts of ways
You created smiles and laughter
Every memory we share
We'll remember with care
For now and every day after

From the very start
You stole our hearts
We'll cherish you forever
We'll never forget you
Or the shoes you chewed
You'll leave our hearts never

Sammy you will always be loved
As you watch us from above
And your soul returns to the breeze
The look in your eyes
When we look at the skies
We'll know you are happy and free

You lived your life in glory
And were an important part of our story
Cheeky til the very end
Too good for this earth
Until you rebirth
We'll see you again best friend

Frozen there in the night,
Stuck there in your way,
Like a deer in the head light,
You're shinning like the day.

Can't tell if you will hurt me,
Or if I'll be harm to you,
My instincts say to run,
Are you about to run too?

I'll stand here in your beauty,
And let your light attack,
I'll let your light ****** me,
Then I'll never look back.

Rather fall here at your hand,
Just take me to my death,
I'm ready where I stand,
Take my very last breath.
