I could listen to you play for hours,
but I think I'd look a bit creepy.

*It's just that you're so beautiful.

This love is a little game we play

       It has no end
       There's no escape
       You hold all the cards
       And the way you stack them
If they were to fall they'd bury me alive
          Deprived from your kiss
It's the only thing I'd miss
     Not even breath or the sting of my wrists from when you hold me to your rules
                And no matter how many times I go broke trying to make you smile
       I'll always pay the dealer even if it takes a while

Rai
She sits in shadows
Displaced by life
Forgotten by self
Dejected by all those Crows that fly Northwards
A Sparrow hawk calls
She remembers him but utters nothing
that is desirable
He flies onwards
Never to look upon her
Dark princess
Of lower grounds
She holds fast and keeps council with demons
Demons who roam the corridors of her soul
Pulling the cloak over her nakedness
as the stage  illuminates the way
An actress of sorts
Another west end show
A vagabond who plays her hero
Darkness falls from her
And all who are touched by her fateful hand
Will linger no more in sun drenched meadows
Too bright to see
Too good to believe
Her fearfulness becomes her
Her innocence laid bare upon a slab of false regret
Be he gone from her mind
She may be free
For what lingers a princess in darkness
Than a love betrayed
The darkened hour may find its way into any heart
The broken man
Can do as he tries
But stumbles when he beholds her stare.

Hyder
I awoke suddenly
A tear started from my eye
How a dream could feel so real, yet reality cruelly denies
My Grandfather's essence and a love words can't describe
Even though he has left behind, a loving family
A tangible sign,
With my dream, I now know he is alright

The love in my dream was so powerful I could not stop my pride
I cried and cried, feeling his love, it warmed my heart inside
But that was only a dream , I only remember him smile
Somehow with a dream
I forever know
The memory of that love will stay with me rest of my life
I am not afraid
Of fighting the big battles,
But healing when wounded
At all angles,
I disappear. Never
Fearing what I hear.
Always hearing what I
Fear.
What is fear,
If it's lodged in the
Canal of your
Ear?
Is it stuck to the point
That only screams, can I
Hear...
