Oh how long will this one last?
Will it end just like my past?
With un-foreseen doom and ice cold death
A statue of skin, a last of breaths

Could you tell me just one tale
Will I win, will I fail?
Your almighty powers of what's to go
Pick me up from an abyss so low

For love's a game or so it shows
One a friend, one a foe
And pray I must under this night
That you my lord will make things right...
Barnaby Harrison Mar 2015
Once I dreamed of a land
With rolling hills and a marching band
With birds that chirp such joyful tunes
And a beach with delicate, sandy dunes

Once I dreamed of true love
Under the watch of a peaceful dove
With no more fights and no more pain
Sunny skies and lack of rain

Once I dreamed of being here
Under mistletoe with you my dear
Once I dreamed of having you
Now my dreams have come so true...

My life is like winter storming
Blizzard conditions without a warning
Round and round, it consumes my being
No-one cares, no-one seeing

My life is like the acid rain
Burning down, giving pain
Flooding my life with yet more hate
And making my mind a stagnant lake

My life is yours and yours alone
I cannot escape, no matter where I go
Doomed now and forever
My life is lost to the weather
The pain of life
Barnaby Harrison Mar 2015
If words could describe the love you give
Then superior would be the humans that live
And if I could utter oh such verse
I would be god upon this earth

For your soul is fine, your heart is pure
No matter what you may endure
And without your love the sun won't rise
And let truth be told I do not lie

But speak I cannot, my words are stuck
But hope I shall for a change of luck
As you give me my final piece
Yes without you I'm not complete...
Barnaby Harrison Mar 2015
My souls burns up bright tonight
As you, my angel, light it
And as the rain falls down
Care we not
As senses are numbed
By true love's power
And as I taste your love
I know
That eternal we are
Until our ashes are scattered
Across this same field
Upon which
We made flames
Barnaby Harrison Mar 2015
Oh subtle sounds why do you taunt
My frail mind of guilt?
Yes far I went, too far
'Till your eyes no longer glinted
In the pale moonlight
And you lay stiller
Than the garden statue
Now of which has the engraved characters
R.I.P
And yes sorry I am thy heart of sweet
But provocation you purged me with
And cope I couldn't
Now pray I shall that found your not
Pray and pray I will
I wish you peace
But most of all
I wish away my doings
Barnaby Harrison Mar 2015
Count to ten and close my eyes
Open up to see the skies
Cry a tear, two or three
Shut away the memories

Discard the thoughts of anguish and pain
All these pictures, all these frames
Burn the clothes, release a scream
Throw away this two way team

Traipse inside and shut the door
Try to cope a little more
Rock away the words you gave
And all the time I tried to save

Approach the bed, redo the sheets
Place carefully the things I keep
Fall asleep another day
Breathe another love away...
