My beloved commanded clouds With his wings spread wide Beneath the sun In his silent rapture he ran Rings around the moon With speed unheard of In altitudes untested He was the uncontested Prince of the blue skies My beloved’s eyes Reflect the yellow horizon At the end of the ocean wall He was fearless in his quest He was a cut above the rest His daring knew no boundaries He had no fear of the unknown Way out yonder ,there he flew Where no other ‘s ever been before My beloved’s ways up in the Air was never wayward There among the white formations He was unsurpassed A venerable hero of his generation He had set his mark so steady In the echoes of history And though his life upon the ground Was less than perfect Up there, he was without equal And this is how He’d like to be remembered For he carved his name on the soft cotton clouds And though his magic chariot Now lies majestically still, he is truly, ever truly the beloved son of the great big blue skies

I am myself in shadows Forsaking the dawn I am myself in darkness Among a crowd of one A solitude of plenty… I am the words to A rounded song, A song to a husky voice A voice to an empty silence That I can not hear… What do I fear? This magnitude of life, I wish that it had passed Me by… If I had been an ordinary lad, Then maybe I won’t be so sad. my end would not have been So bad, In my listless ,senseless compulsions Brewed an endless stream Of addiction, Far worst than I could ever have Imagined, in all the years That I have survived.. What do I fear? One happy thought, Just one happy thought I had none.. All is gone… Alone Louder, and louder The deafening nothingness Leaves me alone Do not leave me alone… Do you fear me? Do you fear what I had become? I had everything That is nothing Of true value But everyone has a price So I must pay the price Of my folly.. My castle is my prison An asylum for my kingdom Long, long time ago I used to know a different man But he was gone before I could remember his name….
