Appreciate the beauty in every day you see
Make friends with the feeling of a soft spring breeze
Breathe in aromas of anew that fills the air
Of the daffodils and posies that spring up everywhere
Vibrant in colour with their backdrop of lush green
The sparrow and the blackbird and the chunky robin sing
Collecting twigs and moss whist singing songs in loving tone
Working with her mate she builds the perfect home
Snuggled in their nest where babies will be grown
The air is cool but the sun is strong it penetrates your bones
Look around and take it in
Be thankful for this priceless gift
Of Mother Nature as the seasons shift

Fire burns with deep, hot desire
Of molten lava
Bubbling with curious sin

Climb in to my salivating mind
I'll meet you on the other side
Where lust and hunger linger

Hungry for your hidden thoughts
Do you share my ravenous crave
Lusting to taste the dew on your skin
Your potent drink I timely save

Intoxicated trembles arouse my body and my brain...
I should really learn to behave
You can do better
It is simply up to you
Apply yourself accordingly
Work towards your goal efficiently
Keep at it
Continue along your path
Move towards the light
And make your world bright
Do not throw your life away
You have a lot to live for
Just get off of those streets
That is for sure
Nothing but terrains and trivails
Along with lots of trouble
Get it all together
And move on the double
We do our extensive research
But yet, we still may not come up with the right solution
In a state of bewilderment
With lots of frustration and confusion
We feel incomplete
Because, we are often left in darkness
Fear and anxiety sadly appear
Some of us would rather keep in silence

Wandering around in the deepening void.
What am i doing? Do i even have a choice?
Everyone leaves as soon as they come.
I wish i could just appreciate the rising sun.
What would i do if i could make it on my own?
Maybe i'd give more love than i've been shown.
Sometimes i find myself bearing my bones.
But it gets me no closer to feeling at home.
My mind is a trap always filled with noise.
If only i could handle this with a little more poise.
But i'm drowning in this sinister sea.
I can't find myself, where is the key?
With nothing but waves, it's hard to stay afloat.
Luckily my eyes are more or less filled with hope.
But when you're used to having someone by your side,
you find it hard not to get tossed out in the tide.
It seems i've lost my soul in this mess.
Do i even have anything left in my chest?
As my heart slowly withers away, i'm finding that i guess i'm still okay.
But **** do i wish things were going another way.

As i bleed my soul dry, i wonder if i even had one to begin with.
I know all too well that i lost my heart when you tore it out of my chest.
So how can i bring light into my all too dull world?
Since you left, you've never really left my thoughts.
But i know letting you go has been long overdue.
So why can't i let you escape me?
Maybe it's because when our flame went out, it burnt out the spark in my eyes.
Maybe we weren't supposed to be apart.
Maybe we were never supposed to meet.
But if i could get one thing right, it's that you made me feel complete.

When our glasses clinked by the fire and we smoked ***** cigarettes
like the 1950's
we were real classy
Tapping the ashes
we burnt our problems
Slapping laughter into each other
we forgot about how the mornings would feel
how are hearts felt
I knew we were headed nowhere
stuck in the bottle
so we threw our fine wine into the fire
and walked away.
