I stared out the window
My brain, completely disengaged
No thoughts, no emotions
But a war was being waged

I could not move or even think
Stood lifeless, as I gazed
But, inside my brain
This awful darkness blazed

Outside the window, light
It seemed so warm and pure
Still, inside my head
A madness did me lure

I could not raise my voice
Could not, say a word
That evil’s lock on me
Seemed to be assured

But then an angel’s voice
So sweetly to me said
Come with me my dear
And let us go to bed
BOEMS BY JA 583      
FOR MY WIFE

I lost my voice to hear the music
This is what they say, back to basic
Or am I just actually sick?
I lost my voice, now all that is left is the music.

I was loved but never cared for
I was adored but never maintained by
I was touched but never really played

And when his love has moved on to another
What once was adored, now left in the corner
Can I ever play a melody, how I wonder
