There are words racing
Through all of us we must learn
to let them run free

Not alone

The fireflies
Buzz all around you,
Scattered drops of sunlight
Celebrating the darkness
Maybe we should try it too
Because if we wait for a happy moment to celebrate
We might just have to wait forever.


The autumn trees
Dance all around you
Moving their bare branches
On the beat of the silent wind
You never planted their seeds
Yet they shed their leaves
Watching you shed those precious tears.


Never say, oh, never think
You are alone in your struggle.
Think of all the eternities the sky has bled
For the earth it has never touched.
Yeah, think about the longings with which the ocean and the moon look at each other
And yet can never meet.

So, if you dream of skylines you have never seen,
Wake up with your dreams sitting on your eyelids
And if your heart is at a place far away,
Just know maybe it is supposed to be that way.

The earth when too close to sun,
Will become a ball of ashes,
The moon will have the tides turn
Into merciless savages.
Your heart, with you in his arms,
Will finally be at rest

And if it was not for this sadness, what would I still be writing about?

If ever there were hands
to steal the stars from the sky
Let them be mine
For you, I would try
I would give you the moon
And the trees and the sun
I would black out the night
And hide away with you
From everyone
If the rain fell too hard
or the cold chilled your warm heart
I would be shelter for you, always
And we would never be apart
I have grown in your garden
With our love as my seed
You are my greatest treasure
You are all I need
"It's You, It's You,
It's all for you,
Everything I do..."

I.
Parting is such sweet sorrow
Seems an eternity until tomorrow
Just once I would wish to wake
With total absence of this ache
Time feels like a cruel master
More of it with you is what I am after
My heartbeat slows and is ill at ease
Without love's protection from disease

II.
Give me your last breath
So that nothing goes to waste
Give me your entire self
So that I may know no one else
Give me your last kiss
So that I may know its taste
Give me your soul
So that mine can become whole
"It's You, It's You,
It's all for you,
Everything I do..."

Existence.

It's curious that
the universe
chose to
exist as
me

and now I spend a
lifetime trying
to choose to
exist as
it, too

I want to be happy, so badly.
It hurts other people though.

Church bells on the evening breeze
Heavy hearted, ill at ease
All I want is your precious kiss
Save me, my Love
It's your touch that I miss
Bring the smile back to my face
Escape with me from this tearful place
My emotions are tattered
Mind filled with confusion and scattered
Take away what I need to erase
Give me hope and infinite trust
Tie my wrists with blood and lust
Tell me that you'll never run
Light my way despite the dying sun
"It's You, It's You,
It's all for you,
Everything I do..."
