Insomnia
Paul Frey Mar 2013
In the darkest region of my brain
A somber eye swollen with pain
Begins to shed salty tears again

Some seep through cracks
On dilapidated walls of shattered dreams
Others burn through misty reason like sunbeams

They drip into a puddle in a rhythmic beat
One after the other from the crow’s feet
This insane chant to endlessly repeat:

-Awake, alert, aware-
Of my wrath beware
The green-eyed monster
Will break its chain
Feed on your brain
Drive you insane
-Tap, tap, tap-

Forever Mine
Paul Frey Mar 2013
From the harmony in green to the red in madness
The joy in yellow to the faith in blue
My heart mirrored a rainbow of gladness
When I fell in love with you

And in the comfort of your brown eyes
Nurtured by your smiles of compassion
The buds of love that began to rise
Blossomed into roses of passion

Together we sailed through velvet dreams
Conquering the dark waves of doubt
To the magical land of dancing sunbeams
Where the colours of love put the darkness out

And tonight as we dream
Of our orange sunset frozen in time
The diamond ring on my finger gleams
To declare you forever mine

The Addict’s Prayer
Paul Frey Mar 2013
Help me, dear Lord
Help me, I’m burning
Rid me from this evil
The impossible craving

I swim in dark water
Float in murky air
While I choke and wither
The world only stares

They think I’m high on love
Content I appear to be
But my hollow inside
Of fire can never be free

Rescue me before it’s too late
Rescue me, I can no longer wait
If you don’t answer my cry
Dear Lord, I will soon die

You
Paul Frey Mar 2013
You
A purple tune seated on a whiff of air
(The answer to my prayer)
Turned the dull evening in my mind’s city
To a bright morning in the wilderness, so pretty:
Exotic birds sang, wild flowers blossomed
The fresh spring air even brought to life
Wasted plants, previously forgotten
Vivid colours mirrored from dew drops
A splendid rainbow created
To form the entrance for all of heaven’s beauty
The one for whom my world was painted:
YOU
