You're an island
that housed beauty many shipments ago
For a drowning soul,
can only be saved by a rush of gold

Treasures of gold, lie hidden bestowed,
Beneath the crater of an old souls bowl

If my heart be the earth,
I'd look for peace
If my death sparked life,
I'd look to leave
And if life had meaning,
What could this be?

If my heart was round, I'd assume the earth fits this mold
Many moons ago it could dare lay low

Darkness fears the light
Like a kid in twilight 
Pondering on quiet times
Spent churning the street fights
If you search and search, eventually you'll get the answer

Riddle of life
Chad Roman Dec 2023
If my heart be the earth,
I'd look for peace

If my death sparked life,
I'd look to leave

And if life had meaning,
What could this be?

Darling
Chad Roman Sep 2023
The photos bring life to my thoughts
but only for a second
I guess it toils with death till my emotions are no more

We once were, what only we knew
How lonely it was
Beautiful and precious solitude that lasted a day,
24 hours felt like forever.
And once we set off the ride never settled,

The sun was still up,
The heart was still pumped.

The laughs were endless, until it ended.
The pain was temporary, until it lasted.

We started living total opposite lives.

No malice or harm
But a war flamed between us, so suddenly.
Both caught in a web of truth and falsehood.

Love was the common denominator
If it was true love?

I really long to explain why I left...

Freedom is a place
Chad Roman Mar 2023
Why does sin linger at my porch
as if I know not what it brings...
Destruction has eyes of fury
in the eyes, it stares me down

My door swings open at the wind of malice
but shuts at the remorse of guilt
Ashamed of my roots, my being is questioned

do I deserve it?
No, How dare I...

I am not to feel as if I deserve, but to feel out of gratitude
to push on as if my breathe was to go a top everest
longing for the day of ever rest with my Father

I beg, do not scorch me
I am wanting to diverge,
Though my home has a porch of dirt that snaps at my ankle while I escape
my door shuts...

It's too late
evil has entered,

we are back at the start.

My cry is loud Lord
My wailing is a top the waves
I know you hear me, I know

Longing
Chad Roman Feb 2022
My mind cries out for one more memory
I wouldn't  mind it myself
I just wonder if it will happen... soon
we are apart but...
yeah I still love you
Do you know this?

I know the decision was worth it
at the moment it hurts
I wish to see the day you realize what it was for
For now, please escape my thoughts
don't linger in my head

how can I forget?
it took a lot
please understand...
Yeah I still love you!

anyway as the night fades
the sun comes up
24 hours seems like forever
the pain doesn't leave
yet, you did...
wait, I did.
I'm selfishly thinking about you
yet selflessly we split

I await the day we meet again...
To show you how much I love you!
All that is gone isn't lost
A heart break story
happy ending loading....

My Love
Chad Roman Feb 2021
Cruising around
convo to convo
One in sight
Two to crumble

Warmth in a tuck
Surely not luck
Affection explained
Like a knife that stuck

Ahead you go
Catch up's the game
Foot off the gas
"let me explain"

Exhausted by agony
Yet still we journey
Highway to love
Keep the engine furny

Elephant shoes
Recite your lips
More than just words
More of what fits

All has been penned
Love still remains
A rose that is red
Shall not be in vein.
Too my Girlfriend for Valentines day.
Our relationship so far.

A day in the life
Chad Roman Dec 2019
Trapped in my dreams
With so much on my mind
I always wanted what I have
Though it feels I could reverse time

Endless laughs
Endless pain
So little sun
so much rain

Trapped in my world
Weirdness exist
Difference is canny
Future to mist

So little laughs
So much pain
Endless sun
Endless rain

Trapped in my thoughts
Cells rearranged
Depression creeping in
Loneliness explained

So much laughs
So little pain
In a perfect world
Things stay the same

My Heart
Chad Roman Jan 2019
If my heart was broken
How would I know?
See I thought things were ok
Until you expressed your views.
See I thought things could have changed
Until I got the news.

My imagination has been playing with me
Thinking we could be.
Oh how naive of you young lad.

If my heart was broken
How would I feel?
See I thought distance would bring us closer
It’s weird though because I feel closer
I don’t know if I supposed to
See I picture a future with you in it
I get the feeling you see a picture
But I probably couldn’t fit in it

If my heart was broken
How would I know?
I probably would know
I mean it’s not broken
But I feel it tearing
I feel like we could all relate

Fronting
Chad Roman Nov 2018
“Colorful thoughts occupy my mind”
Oh how I wish that statement was true!
Lately I’ve been thinking so hard.
Did I make the right decisions
Did I play the right cards.

“Colorful thoughts occupy my mind”
Oh how I wish you could see the truth!
Maybe you do, maybe you see it on me.
My outfit doesn’t fit,
Although my smile is still there.

“Colorful thoughts occupy my mind”
Oh how I wish you knew I was lying!
Well now you do.

You see I’ve got a nice smile but does it really matter!
Some how we all trying to sell the gold frame instead of the pure painting.

Distance
Chad Roman Sep 2018
We communicate a lot
And it sounds magical.
I don’t see you often
And it’s unimaginable.

I think about you.
Do you think about me?
Do you look at the future?
Do you see what I see?

You chasing your dream
I’m chasing mine too.
It’s only a matter of time
Before I see you.

Distance makes the heart grow fond.
Or so I believe.
It could make the heart grow cold,
If you don’t believe.

her
Chad Roman Aug 2016
her
clothed in what the eye meets
her beauty shon through
the sun dies down at night
but does not replace the moon

pacific in her eyes
beauty in her smile
waiting for the right man
to walk her down the isle

twisted by her imagination
deep thoughts circulate her brain
enclosed by incubation
she could not escape the pain

clothed in what she wants,
tables turned, bridges burned
to except herself
she learned

black holes
Chad Roman Feb 2016
Deep holes with no end
dark particles flashing
As they transcend

Another world in spacetime
millions of galaxies away
With powerful gravitational forces
Causing light to go astray

Travelling at the speed of light
you'll escape
Thats Definitely impossible
but a possible due date

White box
Chad Roman Nov 2015
trapped in a white box
with no way out
surrounded by whips and chains
he could only shout

hes voice echoed
but they shut it down
laying him Down
on that cold ground

preparation for  
another enslaved day
the shouts of yesterday
couldn't help him today

'freedom is arriving'
he proclaimed
scared to the face
of the mistakes they made

soon the colours of that white box varied
bestowed in this hidden treasures
was a gem they buried
Thank you

Would you fight
Chad Roman Nov 2015
If our love went missing,
out of sight
would you keep fighting
for what is right

It could have lasted,
it could have carried on,
our weak bonds
couldn't stay strong

I chased my dreams
you chased yours
we left our love
on the Cape shores

still I fight
for what's not In site
pretending I love
when it's not right
fight for what is right

tongue
Chad Roman Nov 2015
Free our minds
isolate our thoughts
our tongue is powerful
with no remorse

A strong muscle
yet it's just so small
it can spread a thousand words
over a thousand walls

Without control it kills
in need of no pills,
causing breakdowns
and many thrills.
tongue is powerful

— The End —
