Untrue

There's an answer that I'd like to know,
But you don't have to tell me so.
Forgive me if I need forgiving.
Do you need forgiving?

Have you been untrue?
Have you been untrue?

I never see you round the courtyard.
We used to meet there every single day.
Is there a reason you don't want to see me?
I know your schedule hasn't change.

Have you been untrue?
Have you been untrue?

You used to walk right by my side,
And hold my hand throughout the day.
I wonder why you now avoid me?
Why is it now you stay away?

Have you been untrue?
Have you been untrue?

Fallen stars are not a disgrace
you've come this far, never displaced.

Hold on to me
that's all I ask
you've seen my hurt and
I've felt your agony

You're a soul that slumbers alone
let me strum your veins
(like the Gretsch White Penguin guitar)
hear your words, sing your song

Hold on to me
that's all I ask
I've seen your hurt
and you've felt my agony

we can be each other's sanctuary,
a place of sheltered peace and less worry

We held on to each other
through all the storms
you've tasted my tenderness
I've drowned in your comfort

Your heart catches fire
in the dead of winter
as your lungs fill up with whispered
hopes and splintered dreams
beckoning for you to come home

Come home to me
(Come home.)
When your soul knows...

Where you go when you disappear
Tell me how long you've been there
All along you're awake in a dream
Things aren't what they seem

Tell me where do you go
When you disappear
Tell me to wake up
This is all a dream

Where you go when you disappear
Tell me who takes you there
Where you're far away
Living at sea

Is it a dream we're living in
To me you were real
Tell me things aren't what they seem
I envy the sea
That takes you

Tell me to wake up
If you aren't what you seem
If this isn't just a dream
Tell me what's real

Where you go when you disappear
I wouldn't know
Tell me who takes you there
Tell me I've been lied to
Who's with you
Where you want to go

Pink sunsets and gold
We lay without clothes
The sky feels so close

Warm waters dancing
Colors romancing
Time never gets old

Just before I drift to sleep
I think about what you think
But I’ll never know

Pink sunsets and gold
We lay without clothes
Then the air grows cold

Blue summer is here
When you are not near
It’s our time to go

Just before I drift to sleep
Please don’t let me see you leave
So I’ll never know

Pink sunsets and gold
I lay without clothes
Wishing you were close

Looking at you, ten minutes or more
As you did look, let out vacant stares.
I tried not much, just stood my ground
In such intricacies, love; I disappeared
How elegant you seem, without trying
Too much; the red in lips, awestruck !
The hair in a bun, in an all perfect black
Apparition of your being, it is flawless.
Dear, I am smitten in such hues you don
The reds and blacks and whites and on,
The due in dots, and cells eloping out.
Imagery adding _ layers to your form
Who then, be, creator to your frame ?
A bold tryst in stolid magnificence !
Who then, birthed such countenance,
In contemplation, I just wither away.
For a moment now, for a moment till
Let me just bask, let my soul fill
And in beauty, won't it, I consume.
Refuel my heart, for the dry dunes.
Let me just stare, as you do stare
In art that brings you, alive
today.
Let me just stand, deep in thought
And offer you a thoughtful bouquet.

the fire in my heart starts
so many fighters
i stare with calmness
this feeling, it entraps me
do i really know what's going on?
i start swinging
i know i have to fight
i cannot feel anything else
this power, it's here
nobody can get to me
I'm only in a battle with myself
for all it is.
a war against me within me
you see.
i scream and drop to the floor now
but i get up even faster.
fists are thrown
i cannot count how many
dust in my eyes now
i think i'm dead
and it all just ends--
with a familiar touch.
inspired by..
instinct impulse
intensity.

Hear my gentle song when the wind blows

The lyrics of faded memory are my words

The score was written long ago

Upon my heart

So let  our music start

A reminder around every breezy corner

In the tops of the trees and the waving branches as they shake their fingers at the moon

Follow the notes as they stir cobwebs spanning windows with hollowed eyes

In the dry space behind faded yellow curtains

Everywhere you tread my tune will follow

You will never be alone I promise

Listen to the band playing in your head if you need company

I will be there for you

Always

I won't forget

You caused my end

On that you can depend

Hear my song

You can be far away from me
To make me feel like you aren't there
You can feel so near like the light of day
It wouldn't change a thing for me

I could love you until the sun fades
Or when the earth loses its way around
I could lead you toward the center of this gravity
Where everything goes down
Where ships have fallen
Where men have died in ruins
To tell us how we found our way to each other
Even then it wouldn't change a thing

It could be everything we need
If you and I could have it all
It wouldn't matter anymore after all
All that I wanted was you
I wouldn't change a thing
I wrote this while listening to Bruno Major's song "wouldn't mean a thing".

It was one little touch was it way to much shall I put her down,
If blow your eyes in to the winter skies will I freeze to the ground.. Well,
We got thunder and lightning girl you really got me writing and thinking what if it was just one time god knows where I'd be tonight.
Releasing grip from the hands in wich let you down
I will dance in the rain and you can call me insane but happy now!
We got thunder and lightning girl you really had me riding and thinking what if it was just one time god knows where I'd be tonight!
Look and over change colours look up you know you can't change the past so look and over change colour now you want forget the contrast,..
It was one little touch was it way to much should I put her down.
