Journeys without end
Paul Lost Jan 2016
Empty heart with no sorrow
Paid a painful tithe
Broken bones of tomorrow  
Journeys without time

Never be they forgotten
Never repeat nor abide
Broken heart filled with sorrow
Empty cast of our lives

Death of a dreamer
Paul Lost Dec 2015
I used to dream my life away
Dreamt the the stars would show the way
A path that promises a better day
Than the one I dreamt up yesterday

I used to see you in my dreams
Holding hands like they were seams
Like we were one and ones to be
But nothing was quite like I foresee

You never dreamt the life I saw
I couldn't hold you like I did before
When troubles came conclusions draw
They couldn't hold, no restore

You not only broke my beating heart
You broke my soul my endless start
You broke the good I used to see
You broke the spirit that used to be me

Slowly was our ultimate death
A rounded mind brings journey's end
Not only did you **** my dreams
You killed a boy that loved his dreams

Longing for moments
Paul Lost Apr 2016
My restless mind beckons your call
A falling domino setting water through stone
A chain reaction calling the heart to ease
A mindful armor anxiously waiting to please

My mind beats my singing heart
Tumbling logic
Emotionless motioned life
Robotic poetry remains mechanic lies
A bloodless heart can't love

But your words give my heart a call
A tune for a story told
A breath without flatline drawn
A mystery to a mindless fall

Can my restless mind let my heart so sing
Could a song be worth the fear it brings
Do not consider the end at all
Might a moment be enjoyed for all

The Last Goodbye
Paul Lost Dec 2015
It breaks every time
To know that we’ve tried
It was innocent at first
The life that we lied

I wanted a dream and you wanted mine
But it was never yours
It was never time
The songs that we sang, washed by the rain

I had to go, needing something that’s mine
I offered what I had
You had everyone in mind

It’s only when you ripped out my heart
That you realised yours was connected to mine

Let go
Paul Lost Jan 2016
Rhythmed hearts change with time
Molded souls no longer twine
Everything ends
Paid for our crimes

Let me go
let me be
Let hearts grow again kind
It is time to let go
Let space allow me to find

Cruelty grows
although it is fine
Mosaic of dreams
You're no longer mine

Let me go
let me be
Let me grow without bind
It is time to let go
Stop bungling my mind

Lifted shoulders reveal
Worlds filled with shine
Break free from this burden
Let the stars aline

Let me go
let me be
Let emotions unwind
It is time to let go
Tears leave you blind

Let you go, to let you be
Gave words that were kind
It was time to let go
Buried memories behind

Burning promise
Paul Lost Feb 2016
Attraction pulls me closer
Your flickering flame is art
Promise drew emotion
A moth to a burning start

Cursed in the ending
Sang songs of a crying heart
No promise to be broken
Burning moth, without a start

Melodic love
Paul Lost Feb 2016
Love is a melody without word
Music with discovery heard
Rhythm to a heart's accord
Percussion to a mundane world
A song written with beauty in rhyme
A song sung with test of time

The apple of New Years Eve
Paul Lost Jan 2016
A hair raising brush
A venomous look
A breaking fluttering
A time consuming yearning
Nothing can control
Inevitability
Nothing can become of this


In a moment of weakness a lifetime could be created in a wink.

Who am I?
Paul Lost Jan 2016
Heard you were looking for me
The unobtainable dream
I'm an not what you think
I am not what you seek
I'm convoluted
Twisted
Happiness brought, sowing sadness
Joy paid in pain

philosophical,
a hopeless romantic,
a cynic and a fraudulent hypocrite

Everything you are yet nothing you want to be.

Love is...
Paul Lost Apr 2016
Love is a melody without word
Music with discovery heard
Rhythm to a heart's accord
Percussion to a mundane world
A song written with beauty in rhyme
A song sung with test of time

Battles within
Paul Lost Mar 2016
Restless mind beckons at your call
A falling domino setting water through stone
A chain reaction calling the heart to ease
A mindful armor anxiously waiting to please

My mind beats my singing heart
Tumbling logic
Emotionless motioned life
Robotic poetry remains mechanic lies
A bloodless heart can't love

But your words give my heart a call
A tune for a story told
A breath where life's waiting and bold
A mystery of a potential mindless fall

Can my restless mind let my heart so sing
Might there be a song worth the fear you bring
Might a chance be without considerations grow
Might a moment be enjoyed for all

Timeless gravity
Paul Lost Jan 2016
It's time that's lost
And never found
That keeps your mind
Far from the ground.

Music made
Paul Lost Feb 2016
Sometimes I long for the days when we made music
It was not just heard, but seen and it was great
I guess that as time heals what can be broken
It can also expose cracks in foundations never made

We never lived in times where we were present
'Cause the next day and month and year won't forsake
I guess we never noticed we stopped recording
Reciting old songs to audiences that were in wait

We dreamt up castles for the future
We lived by streams where water quenched our souls
I guess as times brought droughts we never noticed
The music silenced waterfalls of thunder as we broke

But I don't regret the songs that we made perfect
The cascading rumble of our dancing dreams in wake
I guess the pressure of albums never written
Doesn't make me forget the music that we made

— The End —
