I found her again;
Not that she wanted to be,
Felt a stutter in my mind;
But my heart was anxious,
I held it in my hands;
Afraid what she would do with it,
But she didn't take it; Nor reject;
I saw walls and mirrors,
Every which way I approached;
I shattered mine to be vulnerable,
Yet hers grew taller;
Whatever life she leads,
I can't cross into;
So I'll continue on my way,
Leave a bookmark where it may;
I'll come back to her in fleeting instances,
Just a lighthouse at the beaches shore;
Of a time I met one kindred soul amongst the world,
And even though she was never mine; I let her go;
Just another wave in this life's ocean...

Of paths and roads
Nothing's good with toads,
Through mists and fog
I've walked far with my dog,
Choices at the forks in my way
Have made my mind play,
Which way should I go?
Does anyone ever know?
Through the gravel path
Through the paved street hath,
But I a single choice
I'm ready; see my poise?
Swift against the current
I'd say it if I weren't;
On the correct path I'd taken
But I'm always right not forsaken,
And it's been that it never meant much
Without your company; your touch,
To guide me along the way
The right direction that in my trail lay,
Simply mad I'd be
If I were to say; let me be...
© okpoet

I'd kiss
The red off your lips
Until they were
Just glossy pink,
And what would
Transpire
Between the sheets
Would make anyone
Perspire,
Between
My passion
And devotion
Lies only you,
As my fingers
Comb your hair
Like my words
Brush your thoughts,
And my lips
Utter all the musings
Of your body,
How all your curves
Give way under my
Calloused hands,
Like my mind
Gives way
Only to you...

She flows
She trickles
She is a stream

She glides
She whispers
She is a dream

She sings
She dances
She rocks

She is super
I can only say
She is duper

She smiles
And the sky lights up
She is a gleam

She laughs
And the room echoes
She is a symphony

She is so much
In a package so little
She is a gift

She is life
She is beauty
She is love...

Nightmares in the dark
Daydreams in the light
I'm haunted
By the sight of you;
By the thought of you;
By the feeling of you,
There's something
About a memory
How can it be
Remembered
Over time,
Sometimes
It gets vivid
And other times
It fades until
You no longer
Can recall all
Of the details,  
Make them up
As you go along
A brighter red
A bluer blue,
Thinking of you,
Until I die...

She is not real
On some bottle I broke the seal
Imbibed all it's contents
And now I'm pouring all my sentiments
Out onto the sidewalk
Can't hardly walk
The pavement is cool
Refreshing to this fool
I yell out her name
This is not Yatzee a game
I'm crawling and mumbling
As I try to stand; I'm tumbling
I can't make heads or tails
Of this pain sharp as nails
In the depths of my heart
I'm aching and falling apart
These feelings are worse
Than being trampled by a horse
Is it obsession or love?
I plead to the heavens above
To send her back to me
To return things to how they used to be
But that won't happen
I can't wipe it all away with a napkin
But maybe I know a way
To make it through the next day
I'll just simply tell myself a lie
Why I didn't get to say goodbye
This truth I will never reveal
She was not real...
© okpoet

I wish I was simple
My words just single syllables
My ideas basic cable
My thoughts ripples in a puddle,
I wish there was no complexity
To my desires
No high stakes to my risks,
No fine print to my joy,
I wish I had known you
Under easy circumstances
Convenient even,
I wish that there was
No long story to tell,
No book with index
To this fairy tale,
I wished that it would
Have truly been simple
Like I said it could and should be,
I wished I hadn't seen
The galaxies in your eyes,
Hadn't heard the symphonies
From your lips,
Hadn't felt the depths
Of want as I held your hand,
I wished I didn't wonder
I wished I didn't care,
But definitely certainly truly
I didn't wish I hadn't met you
And gotten so close to the sun,
I just wish I could stop wishing...
© okpoet

I walk on by
Because I
Cannot fly,
Wonder if
Anyone saw
What I see,
Every time
From the corner
Of my eye,
Like a painting
Come alive,
Still hearts
Cannot stay
Still, beating
Flow will
Commence,
At the sight
Under that
Window light,
Such is
My plight,
Cannot stop
To admire,
This image
That starts
The fire,
In my pulse,
But no one
Can hold
Me back,
From walking
On by,
Again;
And again...
APAD13 - 084 © okpoet

I pick up the phone and pause;
As her words ring through my mind,
"You can call me any time"
Like echoes in a cave repeating,
I linger on the thought;
As I replay our encounter,
How she smiled; twinkle in her eye;
I felt vaguely naked,
As if she could see clear inside me;
Wanted to walk away from her stare,
I thought her no more than blind;
What did she see in my eyes?
But she laughed at my inhibition;
And took me by the hand,
She set my soul free;
As she delved into whom I was,
And I no longer was just another;
She made me strive to be more,
Yet all the time I was myself;
She led me to find me,
I read the numbers and dial;
I call my fate...

I'll come for you
Whether light or dark,
Through snow & fire
Swift as light I'll come
To gather you,
Like daffodils in the field
Sweep you away
To a brighter world;
Where the grass is greener,
We can roam free
Unshackled by society
Feel no pain or sorrow
Build from our dreams
Create all that we desire,
Sleep and rise with the tide
Hand & hand whilst we sing,
Because these merry things
Smiles to our eyes will bring
And even if we have to cry,
We will do so together;
I'll come for you,
So we can be us forever...
© okpoet

I've seen flowers bloom,
Smiles appear on faces of gloom,
I've seen the miracle of birth,
As well as that of contagious mirth,
I've seen the clouds gather round,
And the rains fall, thunder sound,
I've heard the music of nature play,
All this with words I can say,
But another miracle is before me,
That of love, a witness I am to see,
Its effect on a lonely soul, wanting love,
She found her mate fitting like a glove,
This is the stuff I've read about in books,
This is what movies are made of with hooks,
And here it is before me, I see it with my own eyes,
How she smiles thinking of him, I hear all her sighs,
How she laughs and walks on light-footed steps,
Never seen someone so joyous from the depths;
Of her heart, for she is filled with this love so true,
Were I a journalist, I could not describe in every hue,
What I see in her, you'd have to see it yourself,
God works in mysterious ways, but he is love; himself,
And so she has come to know love all the better,
Her hopes, dreams and desires, this love will not fetter...
© okpoet

It tears at me,
Are you scissors?
Cut cut cutting away
Are you done yet?
Snip snip snip
You've left me in shreds
Rake me into a corner
Let the wind take the rest,
I hurt no longer
Swept aside,
Are you happy?
Doubts that crumbled
With me under
A rug,
Pulled from beneath
I tumble,
Nothing within reach
To stall
My fall,
From your grace…

APAD15 - 002 © okpoet

Press your lips
Against
My stained glass heart,
Leave an imprint
That I can see
When the sun shines in,
Look in
On all the shrines
The empty pews
Where I
No longer worship
The false deities,
Unlike you
Whom I pray for
In earnest
What sins
I wouldn't commit
But for your devotion,
Shatter my soul
And let all the pieces
Of me
Reflect you...

APAD16 014 © okpoet

Just thought
I'd say hello,
My heart is blue
Missing you,
How long has it been
That your facade
I have not seen,
It feels like an eternity
But what is time
But an affinity
To measure,
A concept
We cannot grasp,
A sting
From a wasp
Could not entail
What in my soul
Is felt
A pain,
The distance
Between us,
I cannot quantify
Just like
My angst
I cannot
Satisfy,
Or quell
How much I miss you
No words can tell,
But I'm in hell...

She looks down at the world
All around at her feet,
With a look that beckons
With a calm presence
Undemanding
But she is not meek,
She can thrill you
Start a fire,
She is a ruckus
Low on the radar
Stealth trouble
With a face that permeates
Through all emotions;
Renders you inoperable
Subdued
Leaving you clueless,
What just went down?
You want to know
Why you cannot frown
This is her mirage,
When you look again
She is no more
Like a mist;
But you know she was real...
© okpoet

I write myself  
A memo,
To remember,
Sometimes
I truly do forget
That there was  
Ever you,
A song will play
And I'll struggle
Whether I should
Sing along or
Change the track,
Afraid to reminisce
Realizing I regret
Moving on,
Because I let
The winds carry me
And I never resist
The cold currents
Because I am
A rolling stone
Without moss...
© okpoet

Tell me
What you would say
If you just had
A few breaths left
Within your chest,
Tell me
What you would say
If you just had
A few beats left
Within your heart,
Tell me
All the things
You never said
When your pulse
Beat solid
And your lungs
Ran full tilt,
Tell me
Not
What I want
To hear,
But what
You wished
You could
Tell me
But didn't
Out of fear,
Tell me...

I saw you walk by
To you I wouldn't lie,
I almost snapped my neck
I turned so fast to check;
Was it you I saw?
I couldn't close my jaw
What did you do last night?
Your clothes on your body so tight
Everyday more beautiful you are,
I look for you like a shooting star
Where have you been all this time?
You make me lick my lips in mime
Thinking what a kiss from you
Would do to me; make me want you
Take you out; here and there,
You're one of a kind let them stare;
From the back to the front
Top to bottom; let me change the font,
Beautiful woman from above
With you I've fallen in love...
© okpoet

If I were a dog
I'd curl up next to her,
Oh that I wish
She'd stroke my hair
And hold me
Like she needed me,
When the air is cold outside
I seek the warmth
But she's far from me,
More chilled is her touch
No mere freezer burn
And I'm left yearning,
When will I close the gap
The chasm between us?
What wouldn't I do
But I won't
No surrender,
Every sunrise full of hope
And every night
A close I wish would be the last
A glimmer of want
In a word,
And I'll try
Try again...

APAD14 - 010 © okpoet

I used to
Feel the rush
As you'd arrive
Like the ocean
At my feet,
In anticipation
I'd run away
Before I could
Get drenched,
Even without
An embrace
I'd feel you
As if you were
All around me,
A comfortable
Envelopment
Like the warmth
Of the sun,
But now I miss
The sand
Between my toes
Even more...

APAD15 - 007 © okpoet

Was it time well spent
Or time lost by your side?
As low tide came and went,
What happens now that the
Waters risen and I'm barely
Floating above all the confusion,
Where have you been?
My mind is slowly losing it's grip
On your words your laugh
Was it that much of a breeze?
On my cheek a tear cold
Falling, it's not new to me
To miss someone but not
Just anyone can make me
Laugh so sudden inexplicably,
Just at a thought reminiscing;
But it's all coming undone
And I can't keep it together
Forever, because every day
Is a new day apart and I've
Lost strength without you
To give me reason to hold on
Even if I do know better
Than to let these memories
Die by the wayside
Because they are
The only ones
Worth forgetting...
© okpoet

For every time
You make me smile,
I forget
A thousand tears
I've shed,
To think
I've found you
Once again,
Not having known you
Once before,
Life has meant to be
Once more,
By your side
To the very end,
I shall be there
Don't forget,
For everything
Is second after you,
My heart and soul
I commend to you,
For I have found
You to be the one,
Whom deserves
My affection,
My attention
To all that is you...
© okpoet

It takes
9 months
To be born,
But one
Blink
Of the eye
To die,
It takes two
To bring you
Into existence,
And just yourself
To take you out,
You are born
With at least one
Witness,
But you can die
Like a random bug,
Unnoticed
Or you can leave
A legacy behind,
A star upon
The boulevard,
A footprint
In history,
Take a step
Forward...

I like to pretend
That I'm in control
Of all the strings and strands
Sometimes clips and rubber bands,
How they pull
And where they lead,
Where can I cut
Where do I add a knot,
100 miles per hour says the speedometer
And I'm pushing
Thinking that I will
Steer clear
Of a sudden wall
Or will I ram?
Which is easier
If I'm clearly
Not the pilot
Of my life,
What is this
A false sense of?
Do I lie
To make myself believe,
Or do find truth
In the mirage?

APAD16 - 009 © okpoet

It ain't easy
Being around you;
It ain't easy
Waiting for you;
It ain't easy
Seeing you go;
But I'll always be here;
and I'll always have a hello
Just for you,
Because no matter
If you come and go
And never stay
Long enough to know,
How much I love
To love you;
And how much It hurts me so,
I'll never close
The door behind you,
Because it's
A revolving one;
Always open;
For your arrival
Which I'll always anticipate,
And your departure
Which I'll always expect,
Never saying goodbye...
© okpoet

Now I feel
A different kind
Of hunger,
How I yearn
How I dream
A want
A need,
Deeper than I can sink
Larger than I can grasp
A fervor that is effervescent
For her,
Does it mean anything
Doesn't mean a thing,
No harder decision
To hunt
Or abandon,
Give in to instinct
Or fight intuition
This sentiment
In the core of me
Consumes me,
As I would
If I could
Devour her...

APAD16 012 © okpoet

Found something one day,
I poked and prodded
Inquired why it was so,
Interest piqued
It was reciprocated;
I knew then there was more to come,
Didn't know why;
It came and went
Left me wanting;
Left me wondering;
Left me regretting;
Left me forgetting;
At the edge of lost
It always came back,
Couldn't trap it
Even if I wanted,
But what was this
My curiosity
Had gotten me into,
It was pivotal;
It was life changing,
Yet I stayed the same,
Like a watcher through a window,
Only leaving messages
Through the condensation,
Never letting me in,
Sometimes I want to walk away,
And other times I want to stay,
Always wondering why I found it...
© okpoet

Never thought I could
Or imagined I would,
Be so vulnerable
Or so exposed,
To one such as you
That could break me,
I was unbreachable
An island,
But no man is
Unto himself isolated,
From the wills of his heart
Or the whim of his soul,
And the mind knows
It's a trap,
It sure as hell knows
There may be no coming back,
But it follows through
It's never blind,
It just gives in
Hoping against
All it's rationale,
That it's going to be worth it
That it's going to be okay,
And I still do
Think that it'll all end
With you,
Like the shore
Ends at the ocean,
Big and blue
Safe and sure...

When you no longer see the face;
No longer see a form;
When you see just her essence;
The beauty within the outline,
This is when you transcend
From the lust to the joy
Of loving her,
For her very being;
For her existence,
That which she brings
To you in heaps
And bunches
Of unfurled light,
From the recesses
Of your mind
You seek the inner her
The hidden gem that is
Found beneath the unpolished
Jewel that is her glowing soul
You just sit back and look
At this beautiful energy
Brimming within,
That makes you smile
Without so much
As a tap of glee;
Beside her she sets you free...
© okpoet

Maybe you saved me
Flame almost blown out
By the slightest cold breeze
The stone shoulders
That I brushed against
For so long before
Had finally
Left their mark on me
And I
A tall iced sculpture
Was shattered
Diamonds
On the ground
Melting away
To a puddle
To be stepped in
The wet
Temporary luster
Reflecting
Clear skies
But you,
You saw yourself in me
And I
Was no longer
A mirror
Upon a wall
That no one
Listened to,
How beautiful you are
The fairest
In all the land
To me...
APAD13 - 087 © okpoet

I wish
You'd stay a bit
And linger,
Instead of
Walking away
While I bite my finger,
Afraid to ask
For you to say
One more word,
Hoping you'll
Look at me
One more minute,
Wishing you would
Graze my hand
Accidentally;
Incidentally;
Casually
Sparking
Another fire
In my heart
Already
Phoenixed
Twice over
In a minute,
While on the surface
I sit back
Nonchalantly
Keeping my hands
Steady,
Holding back
From wanting to
Find any excuse
To grab your hand
And ask
Do you really have to go?
To laugh with you
And share
Another moment,
How dreadful
The time in between
Your visits,
But you'll never know...
APAD13 - 096 © okpoet

Parting curtains
I look out upon the world
Outside and foreign
Though familiar
After years,
It's always grey
Or gray
To me,
As I gather myself
To walk out the door,
I'm smiling
Because you're out there
I know,
And I'll see you
The only color
In all the black and white,
And maybe together
We'll paint
The earth
Bright...

APAD15 - 009 © okpoet

Find me a dark room
And I'll light it up
Sparks from my passion
I can't contain,
  
Find me a barren desert
And I'll overflow it
Tears from my desires
I can't hold back,
  
Find me;
And you'll have found
A heart unbound
Seeking yours,
But as if chained
Not any closer
Than a stalker
At a distance,
Observing cupid's  
Little gift unwrapping
Itself before my eyes;
  
Find me a clock
And I'll start counting
The seconds passing;
Because I can see that;
The love between you  
Will last until the end of time,
  
But I'll be waiting at the close
Of your forever,
For us to be together  
In another eternity
Because even in death
I will always love you...

Today was the day
I looked about and saw the sky;
The world, everything around me
In a whole new way.

It started just the same
As every other 24 hours
Another X on the calendar,
Just more time ticking gone and came.

But like day to night
I met you
So sudden and unexpected
It all went from black to white.

My stars had aligned
My toast stopped falling
Butter side down
An explanation I could not find.

How could I explain this
To any a passerby?
How my heart beat so;
This was to me God’s kiss.

I looked into your guise
I listened to your voice
I felt the very depths of your soul
I smelled and tasted salty tears from my eyes.

Time finally stopped its tick tock
I was no longer confined
To the march of life’s parade
I finally found someone with whom to walk.

Who knew living was
Loving,
I can exhale now; next to you
Life gave me a day to pause…

A thought lingers in my mind
Of days past from the daily grind,
What does my future hold?
Sometimes it gleams bright and bold,
And at other times it's bleak
It varies when I'm a rebel or meek,
Shall I sit and watch my days go by?
Or shall I stand and let my dreams not die?
The questions wander in my head
What is to become of me? I dread,
And I think I know the answer
I think I know the cure for my cancer,
But the doubts eat away at my core
On bended knees I fall to the floor,
Who will come to my aid?
No one but God; who will not let me fade,
When everyone else breaks me down,
He builds me up again; he does not frown;
Down upon me; he gives me power,
So I will stand tall and not cower;
For my enemies are not always around me,
They lie in the depths of my mind within me;
Causing me to lose sleep; provoking unrest,
The feelings I most detest;
I must strike them down where they stand,
Let them fade away into endless sand...

Been awhile
Since I've cracked
A smile
This wide,
I always lacked
On the inside
A flame,
And I'll never be
The same
After her,
Nor she
Will ever again
Waltz alone
Wear me like fur
Round her neck
Warm to the bone
Always at her beck
And call
Till death
And even then
She'll never fall,
For every breath
I take;
It's just for her sake...

Don't say goodbye
Just yet;
I've only begun
To keep up with you,
Though you never
See me;
I know you can
Feel my presence,
I'm ever vigilant
Of your needs;
Keep the kindling
In the fires
Of your desires,
For your dreams
Ambitions,
My strength
Is prevalent
Though you
May not know
That I share
In each and every
One of your
Ups and downs,
Your joy
Is my energy;
Your sadness
My mission
To strengthen you,
Together in heart
Sharing one thought;
We are one for one
One soul under the sun...

I'll keep writing
Even as the ink fades,
No matter
If I don't get a response,
Close my eyes
The words will keep
On coming through,
No rest for me,
Even though
It's the end for her,
All twists and turns
Are straight
At some point,
Even if I'm all
Shattered within,
I'll keep it together,
Because I can't fall,
Always stronger
Than yesterday,
But sadder than I'll be
Tomorrow,
Because I don't know
Why I couldn't help her
Stop being lost in her mind,
Thick as these pages may be,
My tears still soak through,
I'll keep writing
Even as my blood thins...

There's a bright
Finger nail in the sky;
I like to imagine
The man in the moon
Bit it off in a moment
Of stress or perhaps
He was befuddled
By some beauty
He saw down below,
Because even if he is
Amongst the stars
He's all alone
Wishing to be
One of us;
Human and flawed
Because we are always
Within reach
Of making a connection;
With one another,
But we'll always
Look up at the sky
Wondering
What it's like
To be him...

You'll come with me
Won't you?
You'll stay by me
Won't you?
Here have my heart
Keep it safe for me,
Won't you?
Can I have yours too?
Oh, I see;
You don't have it
Anymore,
Well, you can still
Keep mine;
That way you'll
Always remember me,
Wont you?
I'll just go on ahead
And keep climbing
Heading into
The unknown
All alone;
With only
Your memories
To keep me
Company,
Call me
When you get
Your heart back;
Wont you?
My hollowed chest
Won't hold
Any other heart
But yours...

To whom do we belong
When no one
Makes a claim to our hearts?
To where do our eyes wander
When no one
Haunts our day dreams?
Where do the winds carry
Our voice when we cry out
In agony
Of want
In misery
Of need
To love and be loved?
Are our hearts
Already claimed
From the start of our consciousness?
When our eyes look to the skies
Does it mean
That someone is looking up too?
Hoping we'll cross the same
Shooting star and catch a ride
To the same point in space
Where we'll finally meet
And fall into an endless embrace;
Forgetting the torment
Of all the past years
The torture of the slow days
The anguish of all
The lonely nights,
Hopefully making it all worth it...

Take pieces of me
With you
To go,
But don't leave me
In the fridge
Forgotten
Left there
To rotten,
I'm oh so fresh
From the crisper
And deserve to be
On your lips,
Who cares
If I'll be
An eternity
On your hips,
I'm a treat
Not a threat,
Take as much
As you want,
As you need
But take heed
When I whisper,
Give in and live a little...

Last night--
The child within me cried
While the man I am wept,
I felt a stirring in my soul
Still burning embers lit,
Deep there in my heart
Feelings awakened uninvited,
My eyes traitors to my sympathy
Witnesses to others' emotions
Led me to nostalgia;
Long forgotten memories surfaced,
Recollections that renewed the wounds
Even those healed were once more,
Ever present and alive
Of a lost love not reciprocated,
She who felled my heart in jest
Not knowing what I felt for her,
Shattered hopes and crippled dreams
She left for me to hold,
And told was I; time would heal all
But that promise too was broken,
In the presence of this love I beheld
True love that conquers all
I want to know and feel,
Wonder if I'll ever be loved like that...
© okpoet

Feeling numb
But also kind of dumb
Ate the last crumb,
I can't believe
I'd resort to this
Trying so hard
To reach some kind of bliss,
I miss that kiss
I'd rather forget
Her last diss,
So here I am
Drowning my sorrow
Until tomorrow,
When I may wake
To regret
Another day
Everything I did not say
Ate my feelings again
As I reminisce about
Now and then,
Take it all back
Would that I could
But maybe I loved her
More than
I should...

All my problems you'd end you said
I'm lying here with a little fear a little dread,
I've loved and lost
Know true love's cost
I've given in to your charms
Even if I was aware of all the alarms,
Going off in my head
I can't get out of bed,
Knowing I'm nearing a dead end
And my broken heart I cannot mend
If you choose to break it,
But I will bear it
The pain I'm used to
Before death's toll too,
Searing my soul
Like a burning coal
That won't die
Even if to the world I should lie
That I'm whole
Playing a fake role,
While my world is spinning;
Even if I'm not winning,
Know your intention
While I keep up my pretension...
But don't abandon me;
Because I truly love thee...

Twenty one years young
And he found
The girl of
Anyone's dreams,
He's cut to the chase,
Beat the traffic;
Stopped time
In its tracks;
He's achieved
The impossible,
Saved himself
The headaches,
The heartaches,
Waiting
For that one
Who would
Join him forever,
Now he's got
His whole life
Ahead of him,
To make a name
For himself;
To leave
His mark
on the world,
With his bride
By his side,
Union of fallen
Angels;
Rising up again
To the heavens,
Let the chorus
Sing and the echoes
Be heard throughout  
The hemispheres,
For these brave
Souls; will
Light the world
In a loving fire
And cleanse it
Of its disbelief
That love  
Will always reign
Under God...

Just passing by
I say hello to you,
Don't know me
Don't know you;
But that's ok
I come and go
I came and went,
You're no one
I'm no one,
Just say hello
And keep on going,
On your merry way,
On my merry way;
We may meet again;
But hey if it's meant
To be it will be,
If it's not, no one
Is the wiser;
The world
Will keep on
Spinning,
Hello...

I'll always be a shooting star
Trailing across the skies,
So you can look up
And wish for all
Your dreams,
And I'll listen
Forwarding it to whomever
Can make them come true,
And whenever you want
Take out your net
And catch a ride with me,
We'll blaze the night
Brighter than
The northern lights,
And when you're done,
I'll drop you off
Safe and sound,
Let your continue on,
Treading on your path,
While I keep you
In my thoughts,
Hoping you know,
Always this star;
Shines just for you,
Even when it's cloudy,
And if it rains,
It's just to cover
Your tears from the world,
Because you should
Always smile,
I know I will
Just for you...

If you don't smile; the sun doesn't shine,
Everything is chaos; nothing's fine,
If you don't laugh; the music won't play
There is no beginning to the day,
If you don't talk; I can't listen
I'm unsettled as your eyes glisten,
What's wrong?
Do you hear the song?
It's a sad one; a slow one
I feel like to my head I'd put a gun
The frustration of feeling useless,
How can I make your day? I'm clueless
I'm your friend; your best friend,
If you're hurting I hurt too; my heart's opened
Say a little word; just one little sound
Everything suppressed will come unbound,
Nature will bloom
You can bring an end to this feeling of doom,
It's all in your delicate hands
But it all escapes you sifting through like sands,
I wish happiness for you;
Yet you make me feel so blue...
