Staring through the cracks in this glass
           I ask myself why?
Why did I put myself
           through this pain?
Why do I act weak, when I know I'm strong?
             All along I've been hiding my face,
      Behind glasses and shadows,
But the cracks are getting wider
                 and the sun's going down
          The truth about who I am,
It's about to be found....  
       I can't commit to these crimes any more
All the lies and deceptions I was okay with before...
I'm putting myself out there,  
        Even if I fall face first
To the floor...
I'm gonna punch through this glass
           with my reflection so perfectly shattered
I'm no longer battered and bitter
       I'm gonna stare straight through that mirror
        Take off these glasses and look into my own eyes
I'm done with the disguise,  the lies,
         the shouts and screams
MY DREAMS!
          My dreams are what matter now,  
          Not yours, or theres, or hers
I'm finally putting myself first
        No more glasses or shadows to hide behind
          I'm gonna find me,  
And I'm actually gonna look at myself this time...

We are now like a radio out of tune emitting static
The message is unclear it sounds out of tune, now everything is out of synch
It makes me think that maybe everything was an illusion
I am left with confusion
I am left with I should have or should not haves going through my head
and think of what I wish I had said, while lying in my bed.
The big picture is unclear like a fuzzy picture on an old TV
I don't want to give in to negativity, it might mean the end of me
I know have a friend mad at me, and that further hurts me more
I have to implore for the sake of peace just let me go
I am reminding you of the old cliché if you love something set it free
It might mean that we were not meant to be
I need to be free to fly either way
You can wave goodbye as I soar across the sky

Her eyes peer into the ocean waves,
truth and happiness hidden away.
Life glows in abyssal caves,
Two souls come to play.

Rivers guide them to intertwine
He grasps her waist as she kisses him.
Illuminating in a place without time,
Love blooming within the wind.

Golden essence bind them,
as ancient drums beat.
old petals fall of the stem,
yet new ones grow from a seed.

you're so shy
you're so coy
you're a very timid boy

why so shy
why so coy
I know you like me
timid boy

drop your bashfulness
and you will see
all your dreams of love
will become an actuality

timid boy
you'll never be lonely
so find the nerve
to approach me

why so shy
why so coy
I know you like me
timid boy
I came to you last night, climbed in through your window with the last of the summer breeze. You sat on the floor, so small in your sorrow while you held the world in your shaking palm, the pressure of it's screaming too much for your tender heart.
I came to you last night and my heart swelled with love as I watched your tears glisten, their salt on my lips as I kissed your tired skin. I will hold you for a lifetime, tightly against my beating heart, so that you may hear the love I have for you as it thunders through my very being, strong and true against your darkest tide.
I am love, I am comfort, I am strength.
I am yours. Take my light, my song, my heart, let them lift you from the swirling depths, let them anchor your soul to mine that you may always have a home.
Once you lifted my heart to the heavens with a single word and within that moment I knew that we were two halves of a broken whole, though our pieces are scattered and torn we are bound, our destinies colliding within the storm that is our existence.
I came to you last night, no harm shall enter in my wake, no sorrow will linger, only my unending joy at your smile as you whisper "hello".
Blue rays of the sun
Burn deep in the improbability
Of reality

Turning my outer layer skin
To a dark
Sensuality

As the second layer boils
And my sores
Of pain, rise to my fate

As I wait in vain,
Hoping my time with him
Will heal and create

As I dream of the summer moon,
Its light soothes
Me

It covers my wounds
From the blast of the burning
Sun degrees

My nightmarish love never shields me
From my boiling
Blood

I am stuck knee deep
In the spoils of the
Blue rays

A day without your words
Is a day without a smile
A day without reason
To enjoy life even for a while

A day without your touch
Is a day that's not inspiring
A day so full of questions
If life is really worth living

A day without your kiss
Is a day so full of sadness
A day spent in worries,
In doubts, regrets and madness

A day without you, dear
Is a day I don't want to see
For all this time you're only one
The only precious man for me.
Sweetheart

You say you love me
But your deeds tell me you don't
So it is fair and just
Release me now
And I swear
We will both live in serenity

For I don't want to grow old
Hating you
For keeping me
In your cage of lies
Too narrow road,
So small world
Hard to breathe

This world isn't yours
Nor his
This is for everyone
For all of us
Speak your words
Show your ways
But never hurt a heart

Yes, we are free
We have rights
But we have roles to perform
We are in one house
We are a family
We are equal
No status
No gender
No race

We are in a free world
That needs only love...
Feel free

Can anyone hear me
Cause I'm screaming out loud.
Can anyone see me
Cause I'm jumping up and down.
Can anyone save me
Cause I'm starting to drown.

If I listen carefully,
I can hear the lapping of the ocean tide.
The splish
              splash
                       of skipping rocks.

If I close my eyes,
I can feel the sun again.
The warmth my hands held
For those few seconds.

If I stop for a moment,
I can still find traces of those stolen moments.
Of that sweet summer
Trailing in the October breeze.

We're stuck
Laying tangled in this mess we've made.
I'm pulling one way,
But so are you.
I don't know what else to do
To make you mine.
I can't figure it out.
Someone send me a sign.
Cause I'm slowly falling from cloud nine
On this Indian summer night.
