Don't disarm me of my glory
It's all I have
This world has written my story
And I now must change the plot.

This plea will go unheard
And I'll be stuck in time
Preparing to unleash an almighty
Cry.

I can't disperse the crowd of flies
That zoom around my dead skin
I'm half alive
And my heart is cold.

She was the pride
The answer to my prayers
The sincerity that often gets
Swallowed by the guilt.

I'm sorry to you all
Forgive me before I fall
Into a profound nightmare
That yearns for my bones.
The most effective way to poison
is to shoot straight through the heart
and
Cupid has been doing a fine job so far.

O’ distant flower, perfect bloom
Thy beauty full is shown
I stand beneath yon crescent moon
Yet, I am not alone

O’er moments saved my heart so deep
I breathe this evening air
To whisper thoughts of endless keep
With dreams that thee shall share

So bright the beams that meet my face
Of shadows long behind
If but your lips my love doth trace
In longings sent to find

I drink of sweet desire's wine
My cup doth overflow
To reach my arms as you are mine
In soft reflection's glow

O’ come to me my petals pure
My skin your touch doth need
Of only you I do adore
Emotions breath I feed

O’ silent evening dances round
This valley high above
For on this night my heart hath found
Your precious perfect love
Ok, just trying my hand at writing like the old masters...oh well, I had to try.
I woke up this morning
With the feeling there was something missing
So with all that I have being the clothes on my back
I started out for who knows where

I felt the desire to search for trust
But it turns out it's just my luck
I had come upon the wrong address
Under the suns glare my sat nav blared 'make a U-turn' ahead

Trust up and moved on down the road
Who in this day and age would have ever known
Seems that trust felt the need to leave
And without trust who now can we believe

Perhaps it made friends with love
Or maybe made friends with deception
Something I would never know
And so I was back on my own

I am now on the road these days seldom taken
To find trust and help it prosper
I ask everyone I see if they could help tell me
But it seems trust is only a whisper

I will continue on in my travels
With that strong desire to fill trusts needs
As I am open to any direction
And all possibilities

THROUGH HAPPINESS
MY EYES WERE SHINING
MY FACE WAS GRINNING
I HAD  FEELING THAT I NEVER HAVE
WHICH
WITH FLASHLIGHT ME WAS  DRESSED
I HAD  A FEELING
THAT I WAS FLYING
WITH SADNESS I WAS NOT DYING
I SHOULD HAVE THAT FEELING
BECAUSE THATS SO INTRESTING
She was the kind of girl that could make everyone notice when she was talking
Who stole hearts with a smile
And minds with a word
And never stayed long
