Smooth, cool
Ribbons of blue
Drifting gently
Or rushing greatly

Strong, light
Endless like the skies
Twisting, shifting
Through the land, flowing

They reflect the sky
When sunsets light it on fire
Becoming a living, moving flame.
Rivers- Beauty's everlasting name

Running free
Through the grass
Through the trees
Breathless yet steady
In the warm summer breeze

"I'm tired of being in a relationship
Where I'm always the second choice"

Tears are in her eyes
As she tries feebly not to cry
She's fragile and weak
To sad to find more words to speak

She would never be my second choice
She hasn't been since I first heard her voice

She snuggles into my arms
Shaking from sobs
Tearing me apart
Cutting to my heart

She would be my only one
Till the day we part or till life is done

She lifts her head
Her cheeks still wet
I gently wipe tears away
Afraid she will break

She was never my second choice
I'd tell her.. but I can't find my voice

I stood watching the rain
From beneath the shallow shelter
Of a ledge outside my doorway

They said it was nearly freezing
But the cold didn't touch me,
And the rain barely brushed me

I stood watching the world
From beneath the shallow shelter
Of my wealthy life

They said children were dying
But the worry didn't touch me
And their pain barely brushed me

I stood watching the icy rain
But the only thing truly frozen
Is the place where my heart
Lies sheltered beneath a shallow life
Of cold money and lies

You once heard
All the music
Of the coming night
Of the whispering winds
Singing psalms and ballads
With guardian angels
Singing the gentle lullabies
Of a loving mother
You held a dream
Once upon a time
You held a dream of hope,
Singing beautiful melodies,
Of a family
Of never being alone

Now you hold only the shattered dream

Of never being alone
Of a family
Singing beautiful melodies
You held a dream of hope
Once upon a time
You held a dream
Of a loving mother
Singing the gentle lullabies
With guardian angels
Singing psalms and ballads
Of the whispering winds
Of the coming night

All the music
You once heard.

These sightless eyes, they burn with tears
The tears of forgotten souls
A once future pain, now in my heart
Sears agony untold

The shadows draw closer, closer to me
In an attempt to break my hold
My grasp on humanity, on life, on love
Grows weary cold and old

Falling slowly down to hell
The hell I created
I lose myself, my life, my love
To the one I never hated

Lost, ancient, forgotten love
Fights for what I lost
Never alone like never before
I will win no matter the cost

I never understood
How love could be a sin
How I could be disgraced
Just by holding your hand

But a man with a woman
Can beat and cut and curse
And still the church will bless
A union with this or worse

No, I don't understand
How our love could be a sin

All i have to do
Is smile a simple smile
And the world brightens
Just a bit more
All I have to do
Is laugh my simple laugh
And your face glows
Like a child at christmas
All you have to do
Is kiss me like you do
And the world
Is beautiful

He smiled
That was all I remember from that day
That's all that mattered.
His hair feathered,
His eyes deep,
His body... sigh...
Incredible.
He might seem like everybody else
But there is something different about him
He has a gasp personality?
What an amazing thing.
Not something found in highschool anymore

But all that I really love
Is that smile
It takes my breath away
Takes my words away
(Annoyingly)
Its a real smile.
And its perfect

All I could ask for
Is that he would smile,
Just once,
For me.
Only me.

Stand brave my soldier boy
For your home and country
Stand strong my soldier boy
For my weak heart

Sing loud my soldier boy
So I may hear you in the night
Listen hard my soldier boy
I sang a song for you

Shoot straight my soldier boy
Protect me from harm
But shoot not, my soldier boy
When it need not be done

Let your heart beat my soldier boy
To the beat of a thousand hearts
Let your heart beat, my soldier boy
For your loved ones at home

I miss you my soldier boy
For too long you have been gone
I miss you my soldier boy
For home does not feel like home

Come home my soldier boy
When the fighting is done
Come home my soldier boy
To hear our wedding bells' song

There is a place for me
Somewhere beyond my mind
Or maybe within my mind
Somewhere just for me

A place to cry
When my heart needs to most
A place to hide
From a world of pain

Somewhere to think
About the worlds mysteries
Somewhere I dont have to smile
When I'm not happy
Somewhere open
For when I'm yearning to be free

A place of beauty
A place of dreams
Somewhere there is a place
Just for me

Who hears the scream in the middle of the night?
Who bears the brunt of the burning fright?
Who wishes most to see the light
Of the mornings dawn on the horizon

Who else but a nightmare

Who has skin of pale cream and eyes that dream?
Who has laughter that ripples like a stream
Who has steps that always seem
To bring beauty where ever they go

Who else but an angel

Who screams in the night
When the person inside
Decides tonight is the night
To **** the light
Who hides her fright
Behind beauty bright
When the world decides
Tonight is the night
To take her light

Who else but a Nightmare Angel

My heart is beating fast
To the beat of a thousand drums
My mind is speeding past
To the sound of a thousand songs

A thousand voices combined in harmony
Rise higher, brighter, stronger
Lifting my soul till my spirit sings

A timpani triumphs over the trumpet's cries
While the trills of the golden strings
Ascend like angels beginning to fly

A crescendo vibrates with breathtaking power
My heart nearly bursts with joy
No moment passes when my eyes do not smile

Every fear was the last I held
Every sense is alive with love
Every light is bright and gold
Every breath is a new life begun

The wind whispers through the trees
Softly singing, trying to comfort me
But no song could sing me to sleep
On a night when the stars are so bright
That they look like the lights that were in your eyes

Before everything went wrong
Once upon a time the breeze sang our song
In the moonlight we would dance along
If I fell, I was always caught in your arms
We dared the world to tell us we had to be alone

Never make a dare you can't take if it's done
Your songs will turn to empty sound
Your love will decide to turn around

Your stary nights will turn
To whispering winds and darkening skies

Eyes meet yours
No sound is made
Pain filled silence
Ever stayed

Hidden wonder
In your smile
Endless possiblities
Go on for miles

But I am seeing nothing
But mindless
Painful
Confusion

Broken hearted
Spirit killed
Future unknown
My heart
*still

They tell me I'm beautiful
But what good has that done
I'm surrounded by people
And still so alone

Sapphire horizon along the dark green trees
Diamonds in the sky above the world, above me
The music of night, the rustle of leaves
A chill in the air a bite in the breeze

Tendrils of a cold shadow creep across the sky
Warning the innocent creatures, its time to hide
A wisp of wind whispers, silence has fallen
The warmth that was there has been stolen

Darkness gathers till there’s no light in the sky
The brilliant stars of before seem to be a lie
The clouds lie ominous, too close to the ground
The cold rays of the moon aren't to be found

A storm on the wind coming fast to the hills
Bringing lightning and rain with a power that kills
Echoing off the mountain to the valley below
The rumble of thunder signals the coming blow

A tremor of the tempest spreads through the night
The wind whirls stronger daring me to fight
I wait in silence for the first strike to land
Rage of the light turns the mountains into sand

My feeble cries are lost in a surge of sound
The wind is screaming, the thunder too loud
The rain is pouring down like my ****** red tears
Heart wrenching tears I've been crying for years

The wind is wailing songs of forgotten souls
From the tallest steeple the death bell tolls
In this nightmare no waking, I fear I can't escape
The light in the distance may come too late

The thunder is pounding against my breaking core
Fighting to stand but I can stand no more
Excruciating cries formed from never ending lies
Join the pandemonium in the tormented skies

Power all around me, force me to my knees
Burn me, **** me, cut me, when no one seems to see
My salty tears sear the wounds I bear
Mind and body shattered there's no rainbow here

No sun is shining on my beaten brow
No love is given to my broken heart now
I'm barely breathing, my heart is slow
I'm falling to blackness,
                         I don't have to though.

I can stand like before, not fall to my knees
I can love the storm that tried to break me
I can believe in the hope that sheds the light
And I can brave the storm winds of life

The sun sets on sand castles
While the waves crash against my feet
Wind whistles past me, catching my hair
Playfully whipping it, tossing it as it does the sea

Last gold rays set the water on fire
Light rippling on every wave crested in white
Life around me quiets as the wind dies down
The only sound in the hush of the waves in the night

A setting sun shines in his face
Lighting in his eyes
That are bluer than the bluest skies

From the moment his eyes meet mine
There's a flutter in my heart
I can barely breathe

I curl into his chest
His arms wrapped around me
My world is safe with him
I look into his face
Kiss his nose, teasing

His hands
Strong and large
Gently brush my hair
Barely touching as if I were a flower

Leaning into his chest
I feel his heart beat against mine
Strong next to my flutter

He lifts my face to look at him
His calloused hand soft on my cheek
His clear eyes hold my ever changing eyes
I lean in, hesitant

But when our lips meet it's so perfect
Impossibly gentle for the passion
My body goes weak, he holds me closer
A soft chuckle tells me he knows why
Only a few more kisses before he has to leave

"I love you my angel"
His voice barely even a whisper
"Always and forever?" is all I can reply
"You will be my angel, my love, my hope, until the day I die."

I remember her not being there
Walking alone to class
Walking a little slower than normal,
Feeling lonely without her hand in mine.

Walking to the cafe
My favorite time with her
30 minutes with her every day
But not today..

I didn't want to go in the room
Didn't want to see the empty chair
Didn't want to sit there
Not physically alone, but alone.

But there she was
Walking towards me somehow
I'm sure my heart skipped a beat
As I ran to hug her

I was completely unaware
Of the crowded room around us
All that mattered was her
In my arms

She had come in late
And decided to surprise me
It worked, I thought ironically.
And I could not be happier.

How does she do it?
Have me so wrapped around her finger
That I never want to leave
Never care for anyone else

My heart mutters softly
The secrets of time
Madness and mystery
No reason or rhyme

The dawn greets me brightly
With fire in the skies
The glint of sword in hand
Reflects the world in my eyes

Fear and death lie ominous
In a vast nefarious abyss
Seeking the sinister sovereignty
Of love's fatal kiss

Crystal notes calmly cascade
Through the tragic tempest of greif
Sung by the spirit of the eagle's cry
Whispering the harmonies of belief

A summer breeze a cricket sings
The tree's leaves rustle softly
A gentle hint of a birds coo
A melody so beautiful to me

To walk through the tall grass
Sun shining warm on my back
Bare feet making no sound
Freedom only breathes in these moments

The smell of rough earth
Mingles with the perfume of the rose
And gentle hints of crushed grass
The essense of my home

I get lost in my love
I hear a quiet melody
That turns to my own symphony
My feet move on their own
I spin, I fall, I laugh
Spirit soaring
Into the clouds

Bodies swaying
Music pounding
His body pressed to mine
I knew it was wrong
I had a girl
But I couldn't seem to stop
I couldn't stand
He sat down next to me
Leaning up against him
Muscles tensing at my touch
I look up
His face was so close
A mere 2 inches
He took my breath away
He laughed
And it was perfect
Soft yet deep
My heart was beating so fast
I looked up again
Our lips almost met
And then she came
But this time
When she kissed me
She didn't take my breath away

The tears softly clouding my heart and my mind
Slowly burning endlessly, like the agony of time
My face was beaming brightly, then filled with despair
I was so close yet so far away. I tried not to care

But tears will fall to stain my eternal pain
Jast as I fall to restless sleep only to dream of you again
My dreams are the reality I wish my life could be
A tangible love surrounds us as I hold you close to me

I do not want to dream though, it reminds me of the times
I used to hold you, our love making me blind
One day my dearest angel I will come home to you
And al the things I wished and dreamed will come true.

You held me in your arms
Yet still my tears fell

On the darkened floor
Full of swaying bodies
And flashing lights
Only this moment was still

I wouldn't look you in the eyes
But I knew you could see

In this blackened room
Full of pulsing music
And endless confusion
Only my love ceased to be

I looked away from you
Broke away from your arms

In the cold night air
Benethe diamonds in the skies
And endless beauty
Only my heart beat in the silence

I stood alone in the dark
As a gentle rain began to fall

Dragging my body outta bed
Remembering the night before
Getting back at 3 am
Never wanting to stop
Kissing good bye
Remembering every sore muscle
Being rubbed out
With hands that were strong
And impossibly gentle
Remembering a new soreness
In places that are secret
Remembering that
There are no secrets left

Getting outta bed
With 6 hours of sleep
Smiling like a fool
Walking to class
Because I was remembering
A night with you.

When we met I knew
You're so much more than a one night stand
I knew I'd want to hold your hand

I wish I had the guts to say something
Cause I know you don't see
How perfect you are to me.  

With you, I want to lie under the sky
Wrapped in your arms
I want to make wishes on shooting stars.

But I'm scared I don't know the real you.
And I'm scared you'd run from the real me.
What happens when you realize I'm crazy.

What happens if you find out
I think about you every day?
What happens if you walk away?

I want to say all this to you...
But I know I'm going to erase this
And pretend I never wrote it.

I'll tell myself to keep it in,
To guard my heart
Because it will never start.

But what would happen if
I sent this to you now?...

I wish I had the guts to find out.

What did you feel when you felt me up
The instant hesitation then growing infatuation
What did you feel when you touched my chest
The heart beat pulsing, all my nerves beginning to sing
What did you feel when you felt my skin
The soft warm canvas already painted with sins

That night you were chocolate melting against me
You were rough hands turned gentle
Caressing my everything
You were dancer, singer, poet, dreamer
You were deep brown eyes that pulled me in
Strong brown hands that drew new lines of sin
In poetry on my skin
You were the midnight sky,
I, the moon light and stars.

I made wishes on every star brighter than my scars
I wished to see you again
But again never came
It didn't matter anyway
You would have left me just the same
Sitting alone in the silence
Remembering the feel of your skin
Seeing the dark eyes that pulled me in
Tracing the lines of poetry
You drew on my canvas skin
Already painted with too many sins

Some times the slightest touch
From someone you never knew much
Makes your heart go wild
With the pitter-patter
And nothing else matters.

Dark hair with a blond streak
Brown eyes that make me weak,
Dark brown eyes full of laughter.
You've stepped in my life
And now I'm falling, outta time

Gentle, strong hand on my waist
Pull me closer don't make me wait
To feel your lips on mine
To feel your body pressed against me
Feel your heart beat

Body twist, watch me close
Heartbeat thump,  don't let me go
Pressed together, move with me
Sway in rhythm, not an inch between

Hard benethe, but gentle fingers
Trace my body, the feeling lingers
Grinding harder, make me wet
Pick me up, no hesitation left

Face only a breath away
A kiss is all I have left to say
Body heaving, do what you must
Blood coursing, on fire with lust

Time stopped, she saw his touch
Heart broken, she left in a rush
Her tears falling, stealling the passion
Please don't touch me temptation

I need the melody
I need the harmonies
But no
Somebody trapped my melody

Darkness and Mystery
Insanity, strife
Written of the tempest chaos
Of this man's mind

The master of words
The craftsman of night
Bending and twisting
The word called light

His dreams on paper
The nightmares that haunt
Creepy, despairing
Murmurs that taunt

Torment of Twilight
Author of Anguish
Edgar Allen Poe
Is the Master of Madness

Not four letters,
Not even three.
Just two simple letters
Could change everything

So why is it so hard
To talk to you
To just say
*Hi

Blue and green
A salty sea
The waves drawn
By the moon above me

The stars reflect
Like crystals on cloth
Drops of fire
Fallen on the water

Dreams cascade
Like a waterfall, down
To rest on the shore
At the start of the dawn

I still lie awake
To watch the sun rise
The sleep in the sand
My mind in the skies

What happens if I meet your eyes?
Those dark brown eyes
I secretly love.

What happens if you meet my eyes?
My hazel eyes
That secretly long for you.

I'm afraid you will see,
See the dreams,
The wishes,
I wish when I see you.

What happens if you hold my gaze?
Will you see all the broken dreams?
The dreams shattered,
Shattered when I saw her.

What happens when you see my eyes?
My hazel eyes
That just want to see you.

Where were you when life got hard?
Where were you in the start?

Did you see the broken heart
Did you see thedeep red scar
Did you save another child
Did you save a life gone wild

Can you find a way to mend?
Can you find an angel to send?

Didn't you live to save my soul
Didn't you live so i would hurt no more
Did you teach this world to love
Did you teach them to live like above

Where were you when I cried?
Where were you when I died?

I live in this world
But at night I live as stars
I sing in our language 
But in my voice hear my scars

I breathe the same air
But my lungs refuse its life
I sing the same words
But no sound falls on your ears

I create what you know
But what can you understand
I create what you see
But will you choose to look

Where's Waldo?
I'm Waldo.
Hidden in the crowd
Silenced by the sound
I look like all the others
I speak like all the others
But even when I scream so loud
I can't be found

Where's Waldo?
I'm Waldo.
Do you see me now?
Do you hear me somehow?
I look like all the others
I speak like all the others
But even when I stand proud
I can't be found

Where's Waldo?
I'm Waldo.
Can you see my tears?
Can you hear my fears?
I look like all the others
I speak like all the others
But even when they look around
I can't be found

Where's Waldo?
I'm Waldo.
Hidden by the night.
Silenced by my fright.
I look like all the others
I speak like all the others
But even in the light
I won't be found

A whisper of a memory
Of a song I use to hear
Is drifting, shifting, echoing
To invoke a single tear

A hint of that lonely melody
Of a hidden crying coo
Is sighing, dying, knowing
The end will come too soon

A breath of a last note
Of a final empty dream
Is fading, greying, leaving
Only a single silent scream
