I am a dreamer
I wonder how many stars are left alive
I hear their distant echoes
I see their twinkling lights
I want them to never fade
I am a dreamer

I pretend that they're still there
I feel their empty void
I reach up to the bright black sky
I forebode the encroaching sombre
I dirge the infinite requiem
I am a dreamer

I perceive through blind eyes all comprehension
I whisper through sealed lips a thousand voices
I dream for a silence
I strain to stay awake
I desire nights with no dreams
I am a dreamer
This is a really basic 'I am' though I thought I'd give it a go anyway, enjoy :)

Roses are red, violets are blue, I know this is cliche but i... don't think this will be short enough to make a haiku.

Then there's the colours, forms of grey. On the tips of our tongues, that we are afraid to... reluctantly, but defiantly play.

We stir in the night, our minds still rouse. Ideas and thoughts keeping us away from a true... love that is as the beaches of Laos, though hear me through.

Enjoy the moment, that every second you see. This last part gets tricky but it's for you... <insert name that ends in EEEE >
I wrote this one to poke a bit of fun at the theme of 'Valentines'.

Also fun fact, Laos is landlocked, so that bit about, love is like the beaches of Laos, meant that love was almost none existent. Depends on your definition of beach though XD

Breathe in and don't sigh
Be pertaining yet still shy
Look ahead don't die
A thought

Oh gentle ocean
Why do you reflect such gloom
From cold vibrant moon
I am the ocean staring up at the night

Was lost, my heart so erratic
Split, drowning in thought
Never found, he emerged pragmatic
Shut, he paves through my struggles
Hidden away, We are systematic
"I struggle and emerge"

Silence fell without you there, I longed for the answers that you did not share

I prayed and wished for your return
At least one last goodbye...

So I traveled far, to a place of hope
Where I rediscovered myself, in searching for a way to cope

Awakened within, and set to return home soon
The memory of you a fading wound

Like the whisper of a ghost, your voice suddenly becoming clear
You had lost yourself, and those who held you dear

You were right it won't be the same,
But know that nothing can extinguish our flame

With Life slowly flowing back to how it used to be,
I Now savor every moment that you spend with me.

Our hearts beat with an ecstatic pulse
the spotlights lights flickering our movements,
an impulse

we break from our dance and head through the crowd
Outside we huddle under a starry sky with not one cloud

we move in close holding each other
then the music ends and I begin to shudder


out in the dark, I sit alone...


I stare up, at the terrible black sky
That was her dream, her job, to fly


Like the tear that runs down my cheek
your plane made a fiery streak

I close my eyes and play your song
Remembering a time when I was strong
