When one sings a song that they know
does one reminisce about their life

Is it a song that they really like
do they relate it to their life

Poetry in motion is what I love
no music in mind, just words from my times

Feelings from the heart is where I start
My mind then takes over thinking of my past

Poetry has saved me and has redirected my life  
it is my private journal and tells one about my life

So now my mind is clear and I still love to write
I now wish everyone a happy life

where is the innocence of old
that beauty which lies in the deeper waters
what happened to the young maidens and hero's
whom we all seem to want and/or admire

they've gone, they've gone
to a world beyond our greed and terror
they've gone, they've gone
leaving behind our horror

where is the knight to save the day
the one that most girls dream of late at night
what happened to the hero's we need
the one's whom we need everyday

they've gone, they've gone
to a world beyond our greed and terror
they've gone, they've gone
leaving behind our horror

though young at heart and age i'm a seasoned fighter
with my love and partner by my side
we've gone through much while seperate
and there's much to go, side by side

we will go, we will go
taking with us our love
we've gone, we've gone
to our world we created with light

the warriors we left after combat
they've gone, they've gone
and i say good bye because
we've gone, we've gone

*and our life is just beginning

She has it all:

wit, intelligence
and beauty,
but denies them
as if to be special
is somehow
a shame.

She keeps her heart
deep within a castle:
moat, drawbridge,
walls, keep and towers
to keep hurt away.

If you want her you
must lay siege
to the fortress,
slowly break down
all obstacles,
replace them
with trust.

You must win
her by being
patient and worthy.

I am an old soldier
but my will
remains stronger
than most.

I have one
more campaign
left in me.

I will take
this citadel,
overcome
these obstacles
or break my heart
on its walls.

Defeat is not
an option where
such a prize
awaits.

"Once more into
the breach."
