DC raw love
Hello darkness, my old friend,
I've come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
'Neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence.

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence.

"Fools," said I, "You do not know –
Silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you.
Take my arms that I might reach you."
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming.
And the sign said,
The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sound of silence.

Silence Screamz
Spider kisses
Poison drops
Web wrapped
Life stops

Inject the sting
Pierce the heart
Blackened soul
Ripped apart

Drain my life
Silken bound
Breath no more
Safe and sound
Captured by the one you love to deatb

What part of my mind
Holds this fragment
Of memory
This perfect moment
In time
As it surface's
In my dream
A six month old
Version of my
Adult daughter
Laughing with
Bright happy eyes

If only I could
Freeze this moment
Of time for eternity
Would that not be heaven?

Those nights with you,
sent the rain away,
would that you were here with me now,
if my tears fell gently into your eyes, would it make you see ?
sold my soul for you so there's nothing left,
now the night cuts me through,
long, lonely hours watching a clock,
its mournful face taking your place,  
under this blood red moon,
I guess love died too soon.

Silence Screamz
Silent blue
Silent gray
Pin drop scream
Pain to stay

Mirror clean
Mirror crack
Pin drop scream
Reflection black

World stain
World crazy
Pin drop scream
Simply hazy

Scarlet sunshine
Scarlet moon
Pin drop scream
Music tune

Wonderfully pretty
Wonderfully lonely
Pin drop scream
Blank stare only
Thinking alone in a room about what has happened to the world and screaming

Where's the love,
If you love me,
Instead you have me feeling so empty,
I've never in my life felt so empty,
This room never been so empty,
And,
You had a love for writing songs,
Delayed meetings to hear you sing,
But the only thing I write about,
Is have your finger tangled with a ring,
In hopes that we could be more,
And nothing positive anymore,
Drug head I think I need more,
There's nothing more to say,
I got the direction , I just hope you know the way.

love doesn't just go away
so, i guess it must have gone astray
it's not forgotten..somehow i know
just lost its way on a lonely road
but what has filled my heart with dread
there may be no signpost up ahead
a billion stars in the universe
we are merely two, it couldn't be worse
ever expanding is this endless sky
and we lost each other, i know not why
sometimes a man just has to cry
sometimes a man just has to cry.


::WSQF::
while pieces of you still churn within me
like a paper boat in a raging sea
desperately searching for a place to land
as you slip through my fingers like the sand.

::AB::
I was glad to be your man,
But inception got in the way,
Not good enough doubt's,
To have the affection missed in any other way.
Miss love
I'll sing of all the ways I miss you
and how this sorrow came to be
the verses, lies I should have whispered
the chorus, truths in harmony.

The melody will break the silence
and call your broken heart to me
to be repaired by love unyielding
to broken hymns in minor key.
Depression lies and makes us push those we love most away, sometimes so far away that they can never return.

gathered tense on a cliff of realism as I tried so hard to make you three
dimensional
and I fell again into dreams
drug delusional
and saw
that's why you weren't here.

I am in  a loop of sorrow
Always hearing
Repeatedly,
Afresh,
Repetitive
The words tie a noose
Strangling all thoughts.
"I am stuck in a cycle"
Of never letting go,
The emotions Switching between
Love,
Hate,
Regretting
That moment we said words not
Meant out of love, but anger,
You left tears like raindrop,
And then you were gone,
"I never told you"
"I would forever say"
"When Doors closed behind you"
"I LOVE YOU"
But in anger I said
"Be gone"
"Never come back"
Fate Is a cruel mistress,
"She heard these words"
And took you before I said I love you,
"One last moment"
"One last time"
But know now each
Day the sun rises,
"I love you"
Night eclipses the day,
"I love you"
When ever I shut the door behind me
"I love you"
But no matter how many times I repeat it
Your not here too hear my words,
I visit you, watch over you
"Eternally in slumber"
I love you and wish I said it that **day.
If ever in anger they shut the door always say you love them, fate is cruel that way

When we laugh
We forget ourselves
Resentful hearts
Collecting dust
On life's shelf
The shining of our souls
Fails to illuminate
The black still buried
In our pockets
In time care will fade back to gray
If you recall
You lost me somewhere along the way
Silence overtakes me as the song ends
Soon enough
Restless heart's shall grow resentful
Once again...

Feathered mist does gather at my waiting
Melodies, now dance about my brain
Found of times the hours are negating
Dreaming of your beauty once again

Feel your touch, my skin it does remember
Softer still, the moonlight in your eyes
Days before, in shadows of December
Breathing comes as lonely filtered sighs

In my dreams, I see we are together
Running free, the wind upon your hair
Soaring high like two birds of a feather
Heavenly, I pray I find you there

Standing here, my eyes they search the meadow
Of the snow now flowing in the view
Silhouettes, my heart it tends to follow
Here I cry, it seems I always do
