While travelling the oceans, you may fall back on me
I’m standing out there, waiting, lighting the way for you to flee
And through the blackened sea, I was there to help you find
The way back to the land, but there’s no one turning back
For me..
But I, I gave you everything you’ve got
You forgot?
I was the only one there for you!
How could you go?
You gave me nothing in return
“Be my friend…”
You would be nothing without me
I’m leaving now…

I’m but a lighthouse, giving my light for the ships to sail away
I’m but a tree, where birds rest and fly away
I’m but a savior, to rescue you from your decay
I’m but a friend, standing on the coast eternally and wait

While sailing in a dreamworld, I see another boat
The faces pass before me, but I’m imprisoned in these walls

“I was raised on a rugged rock
The only thing I’ve known
How to prevent the boats
From crashing on me
I was born to oust
Everyone that passes through my way
As I could never give them what they really want
This is my terrible fate
Staring at the beauty of the ocean, alone..
An observer in the middle of an endless sea
Behind the safety of the prison that I have built for myself
I wonder…
Am I convicted in lifetime loneliness?
What if my eyes are mirrors, reflecting the weakness within me?
It’s all about flesh, nobody will ever care about me
Oh Lord, release my soul
Break these walls of misery
I don’t need that lonely life anymore
Take me home…”


The earth has started shaking, the waves are growing wild
The ocean hides the stormy sky and crashes on the wall

While travelling the oceans, you may find me again
And through the stormy sea, I’ve been waiting for you
But you never came back
For me..


“Oh, Lighthouse, you‘re too blind to see
There are thousands of lighthouses out there, just like you
Being confused, scared and lonely
All waiting for a ship to come and save them
Don’t be afraid anymore, go find them
There’s nothing more you have to give but love
Do not convict yourself in a rotten jail forever
Live your every moment away from fear
Remember, your life will expire
It’s all nothing but a dream
Don’t be afraid anymore, go fulfill it…”

The lighthouse is collapsing, the dove is flying free
And from the ruins of its death, is growing now a tree

…Then a scent came to remind me what I have been all these years
To unlock all the faded memories
To open horizons into the past
Just a moment is enough
To look into the deepest parts of my mind
…and find love…
…find happiness…
Find beautiful shiny days
When the light was brighter and the sense was real
When the time was endless and I was to feel
Fumbling in the dark alone, seeking for my missing life
A frozen soul deep into the bottom of an ocean
An ocean of lost dreams, a sea of endless thoughts
A scent came to evoke dead memories of a long-forgotten past
Now my life has withered, the feeling is not deep
But I can still recall and emote
I can still be me
…and the scent was hers…

As our bodies are getting closer
Your scent traps me in your arms
You’ve got my heart in your hands
My lust is all for you
And as the enchanting aroma
Fills my lungs
I’m falling in your arms and wish
I could be buried under your skin

I can’t maintain her scent
and nothing lasts forever

As our bodies are getting closer
I lose the sense of the world
Your perfume is embracing me
I’m haunted forever
And while you’re holding me tighter
The heartbeat quick
I’m hiding in your arms and wish
I could be buried under your skin                                          

I can’t maintain her scent
and nothing lasts forever
The beauty is for a moment
and then it’s gone…

...and so am I
Stephen Nov 2012
I want to write a love poem, but I can’t
Express my deepest feelings, would you care?
I want to sing a song for you
But my voice is gone
And my heart is filled with empty love
Seeking in my dreams to find
The missing girl
I would offer it passion, love and care
If only I was accepted
The way I am
I promise I could reach you
Up in the air


I want somebody to love
But I find none
I need something new in my life
But nothing comes
Why can’t I find someone?
To stand by me
Cause the world ain’t beautiful
Unless you've got someone to die for


What is the meaning of life, if there’s no pain?
What is the meaning of freedom, without a sweet slavery!
Why do you all just care for one moment’s pleasure?
I want to give to a woman my whole life’s treasure!
I can’t just stay alone for any longer
I need someone to really care for me


I want somebody to love
But I find none
I need something new in my life
But nothing comes
Why can’t I find someone?
To stand by me
Cause the world ain’t beautiful
Unless you've got someone to die for

But I found you…
Stephen Nov 2012
As the winter approaches
We will be sleeping in frozen silence
Almost dead faces without feelings
Drown deep into our sadness
Faded dark melancholy
At night when the snow will be dancing
While the rain will be falling
Into the cold darkness

Wintersorrow in my mind
In the memories of a child
Watching outside the window
Inspiration of a dreamer

The colours that could never reach me, the beauty I could never see
The sound of the magic choir is whistling through the old rotten leaves
The icy cold wind makes me shiver, while I gaze beyond the endless grey skies
When I look at the emptiness of the sorrowful landscape my heart withers and dies

Then I remember the cry of my princess, imprisoned in a forgotten fairy tale
“I can’t feel, I'm fading away, my life has become too pale…”

And as my body is trembling
I feel the cold inside me
Under a sweet melancholy
The strains of winter surround me

Only a song in front of me, a poem of birth
Wintersorrow owns my soul, until my death...
Stephen Nov 2012
Light fills the sky, the sun will rise
Love fills the air, heart in despair
Into the fairy tales of my soul
The flowers are blooming
In the dark sorrows of the past
Hope will shine

Innocent Eyes
Romantic Child
Giving its heart
He will get scarred
Flowers are gone
He will get drown
In faint memories
Infeasible dreams

Butterflies cry
Stories may lie
Eternal rain
Life may hide pain

Love is like a flower
It may be beautiful
But has thorns that cause pain
Passion is like a fairy tale
It might seem wonderful
But it always comes to an end

Sorrowful sky
Love was a lie
Nothing is great
This is my fate

Innocent Eyes
Romantic Child
Giving its heart
He will get scarred
Flowers are gone
He will get drown
In faint memories
Infeasible dreams

Roses always wither
When winter comes
But in the child’s heart
Love will never be gone

— The End —
