Good Night

Urmila

I wrote you a lullaby, listen,
Go to sleep, my dear,
Tomorrow's another day,
Another fight,
I just want you to sleep well tonight,
I'll softly sing you a song,
I know it won't right any wrong,
Maybe it'll comfort your dreams,
I'll work my hand through your hair,
Fall asleep,
For a few hours, have no care,
Close those eyes now, I'm always near,
And when morning comes,
I'll still be here

Dark

Dark

My thoughts of late so dark have been,
Darker than any night yet seen.
Where there is no light to be found,
Where blackness only does abound.
What I fear most, with all my mind
Is to darkness to be resigned.

The only one

The only one

He is the only one who I truly need.
The one whose arms shield and protect me as a castle does a queen.
When I am sad his are the only hands which can wipe away my tears,
And he wields the only smile that can sooth my soul and rid my fears.
His eyes, oh how his beautifully cliche eyes see me. All of me.
It takes a fool to fall in love
And a fool to run from it.
I know one day he'll break my heart
And there'll be nobody to blame.
He'll be worth the pain when we part
And no one else will be the same.
He is the only one.

Jacob and I

Jacob and I

We had it all, Jacob and I.

Without two pennies to rub together we were the richest beings alive.
Our time together was bright with technicolor and on Sunday's we would make love all afternoon and listen to Oasis.
And when we were apart, Jacob and I would excite ourselves over the inevitable euphoric bliss of our next reunion.

You have never been in love until you've spent seven hours on the same bench in the same park conversing at a hundred miles an hour with someone whom you've known for so long, yet still learning new things about them with every word they speak.
And you have never been in love until you've felt sick with fear of losing the very same person that can level you with their eyes.

I once was afraid of love but not anymore.

The Picture

The Picture

The picture spoke a thousand lies,
A thousand lies but not a word.
We stare, obsess, we analyse,
But not a word was spoke or heard.
That intoxicated smile hides
That painful party, now a blur.
Pictures mask what stays inside
And only show us as we were.
No fair display of life in truth,
They capture only our disguise.
She appeared content for all her youth,
A theory which she now denies.

Sing me your song
And put me in a trance
Of love and devotion.
Your song blows on the embers
Of my soul and awakens them
From its dormant state.

Sing me your song
So I can fall in love.
Sing me your song
So I may discover my fire.
Sing me your song
And, someday, I will also sing along.

From 'The Traveller: Part I'
