The dogs chasing the late autumn leaves
Fluttering down the lane way
The sound of the train as it passes by
Peaceful afternoon walk
The cottage walls and porches
Flourish of colour
Enwreathed with ivy green
Bellflowers, hollyhocks, hydrangea
Scents of lavender and sage
Evoke
Memories of childhood days
Visiting grandparents cottages
One in the Irish Wicklow mountains
The other in the suburbs of Athens city
The free flowing sound of the river
Smoke billowing from chimneys
The cottages have no pretense or grandeur
Just a sanctuary of comfort in the silence of the lane
Reaching the darkest corner of the soul

I keep trying to wash away
The pain from my skin
But no matter how hard I scrub
The scars are still there

Choose your thoughts carefully I once heard said
How do you choose what comes into your head?
It isn't like picking a card from the deck
With 51 gone and you with one left
For thoughts are seeded and grow into frame
They sometimes die or fade away
Yet some are so strong I think you'll agree
They forge the soul in a human being
For thoughts become words
Thoughts become deeds
They become choices
Your reality
So a daydream could be the start of a wish
Or a fanciful dalliance only you see
So close your eyes tight and open your mind
For your thoughts could be for all mankind

I feel like I'm walking on a cloud
Nothing else matters, I keep silent and move on
Day dreams and vivid visions
Suddenly disappear from forthcoming decisions
And with a crack reality instantly snaps back
I make up my mind
Saying to myself am I half blind
Then I disappear again
Off in my own head
Thinking about what should have been said
I realize it's not a debt
So I allow myself to forget

I feel like I'm walking across hot coals
That those that get ahead do so by trampling over souls
Contempt for those who got there without putting in the work
The question drives me berzerk
Social implications keep mounting my frustrations
I don't follow the pack and foster my own creations
Completely alone
I feel like a king upon a thrown that isn't his own
Without a care I stop and stare
Only to realize that there's nothing there

Oh
Sorry
It was just another dream

If I could, I would sleep all day and wake in the brilliant night
Day expects too much
Day expects grass to be green; the sky to be blue
So intense, so proud the sun, that nothing else can shine  
Selfishly casting shadows to anyone who gets in her way

The day is a child wearing a toy crown
Clouds bring tears when the wind blows that crown away.

The night is dazzling and humble
The night is dark so the stars can shine
Moonlight tells the green grass to rest and watch the sparklers burn
The night is a candle and we are the flame that lights it

there is something
moving about being
replaced by flowers.

We're living in a world
Where fake is the new trend
A world where
Falling leads to crash land
A world where
The devil gives you a helping hand
And in this world
Depression is my new friend

How can a friend
Break or bend,your trust
Whereas I'm looking for someone
To mend my heart
If lies were money
Everyone would spend their millions
They say 'If life gives you lemons'
Wait! What if mine gave me melons

Look at me,I'm not perfect
But at least I'm real
Got to stay strong
Mentality on steel
Wait for my soul to recover
Rather to heal
They disturbed my innocence
And then I broke her virginity seal
It was ill...

The killing
The blood spilling
All by one cause,ignorance
The dressing
The people impressing
Leads to one thing,arrogance
The pretending
Mixed with smiley sending
Makes me lose my,tolerance
My silence
My wise license
Will lead to my fame,2legance

Sometimes
Even if the disruption of the innocent
Leads to corruption of the imagrant
The caption of the happy moments
Will create the adaptation of the youth
At the moment
