Home
There’s a lonely place I know
When I’m tired that’s where I go
But in the morning haze I find
That home is only in my mind.
There’s no comfort in this place
It’s just a cold, lonely embrace
But for the soul that always roams
It’s the closest thing that comes to home.
I want to go home, home at last
I want to lay down on green, green grass
I want to feel whole and warm inside.
But that home is only in my mind.
Theres lonely places where I could go
Filled with love for me to know
With hearts of love for me...
When I’m tired that’s where I go
But in the morning haze I find
That home is only in my mind.
There’s no comfort in this place
It’s just a cold, lonely embrace
But for the soul that always roams
It’s the closest thing that comes to home.
I want to go home, home at last
I want to lay down on green, green grass
I want to feel whole and warm inside.
But that home is only in my mind.
Theres lonely places where I could go
Filled with love for me to know
With hearts of love for me...

30th Mar 2020 5:48am
I fell in love with you a billion years away from here
Inside the heart inside of a Star and ever since
I find you here.
Every time
In every life
In every version of our fears,
And of our smiles and our tears.
In happiness
in grief
Through all the years
You’re my relief.
Your soul sets fire to my heart
And burns away the walls I’ve made
A kindling for the raging flames
Inside you that light up the dark.
Nothing that I’ve had in so many lives
In so many places
Through so many lies
Has ever felt...
Inside the heart inside of a Star and ever since
I find you here.
Every time
In every life
In every version of our fears,
And of our smiles and our tears.
In happiness
in grief
Through all the years
You’re my relief.
Your soul sets fire to my heart
And burns away the walls I’ve made
A kindling for the raging flames
Inside you that light up the dark.
Nothing that I’ve had in so many lives
In so many places
Through so many lies
Has ever felt...

More today than yesterday
You have been my greatest Love since time began,
And through a million lives we seem to have ran.
Every one so quickly, every one so fast,
Each time we found love, deeper and stronger than the last.
And though so much is changing time sticks to its plans,
Our souls are bound together now and know too well the past.
And even if THIS life, should bring only pain
I know we’ll be together soon and that lights the way.
Even if the whole world came crashing down
I know in the end all that’s lost will be found.
So I hope that you know that I love...
And through a million lives we seem to have ran.
Every one so quickly, every one so fast,
Each time we found love, deeper and stronger than the last.
And though so much is changing time sticks to its plans,
Our souls are bound together now and know too well the past.
And even if THIS life, should bring only pain
I know we’ll be together soon and that lights the way.
Even if the whole world came crashing down
I know in the end all that’s lost will be found.
So I hope that you know that I love...

~So Easy~
What things, in need, do we perceive
To be the dreams of which we’ve dreamed
Though, all in all, we’ve been deceived
Through years of loneliness we see.
So we speed through thoughts received
Telling to cautiously proceed
All because we can’t believe
There’s better things to help us breathe.
So we suffocate ourselves, in need
When all it took was to believe
That our own worth could fill the sea.
To think it could be so easy
To know your worth and be happy.
So why are we so blind to these
Unhealthy traits and inner...
To be the dreams of which we’ve dreamed
Though, all in all, we’ve been deceived
Through years of loneliness we see.
So we speed through thoughts received
Telling to cautiously proceed
All because we can’t believe
There’s better things to help us breathe.
So we suffocate ourselves, in need
When all it took was to believe
That our own worth could fill the sea.
To think it could be so easy
To know your worth and be happy.
So why are we so blind to these
Unhealthy traits and inner...

Silence
Only the lonely can hear sounds of silence
Screaming like wind carried with violence
Breaking through walls and filling your soul
With emptiness, loneliness, and a heart shaped hole.
No one would suspect that silence has a sound
But its terrible and great and like a cancer spreads around.
Like ten thousand trumpets only you can hear
Screaming through your soul having not once passed through an ear.
Its loneliness, crying from within its cage.
Its confined words longing to be released unto a page.
Its screaming on the inside while you smile...
Screaming like wind carried with violence
Breaking through walls and filling your soul
With emptiness, loneliness, and a heart shaped hole.
No one would suspect that silence has a sound
But its terrible and great and like a cancer spreads around.
Like ten thousand trumpets only you can hear
Screaming through your soul having not once passed through an ear.
Its loneliness, crying from within its cage.
Its confined words longing to be released unto a page.
Its screaming on the inside while you smile...

Inside of You
I long for everything that in your darkness dwells,
The creatures and the bottomless pits of your secret hell.
I long to cast myself into the depths that are your soul,
I promise I'll destroy you gently once is surrendered your control.
No bounds may hold me down once I invade your Mind,
You'll love each second tormented by all I leave behind.
Do not be scared or nervous for my intentions are not ill.
In fact, desire and vile need are all i'll have you feel.
I'll have your soul all but begging for sweet and vile things
Things of which not...
The creatures and the bottomless pits of your secret hell.
I long to cast myself into the depths that are your soul,
I promise I'll destroy you gently once is surrendered your control.
No bounds may hold me down once I invade your Mind,
You'll love each second tormented by all I leave behind.
Do not be scared or nervous for my intentions are not ill.
In fact, desire and vile need are all i'll have you feel.
I'll have your soul all but begging for sweet and vile things
Things of which not...

Gone with the Wind
Don't go yet into the wind
Sweet gypsy soul that wandered in.
I missed you so, i miss you still
You leave a void nothing can fill.
It was so nice that you stopped by
To dance with me and ease my mind
Words just cant form into the way
It felt to feel you here today.
The way it felt to close my eyes
And see yours looking back in mine.
Sweet gypsy soul, please, just wait
Just five more minutes here in your embrace.
Just five more minutes in this Dream
Just hold me close and lay with me.
Then ill wake up and soak it in ...
Sweet gypsy soul that wandered in.
I missed you so, i miss you still
You leave a void nothing can fill.
It was so nice that you stopped by
To dance with me and ease my mind
Words just cant form into the way
It felt to feel you here today.
The way it felt to close my eyes
And see yours looking back in mine.
Sweet gypsy soul, please, just wait
Just five more minutes here in your embrace.
Just five more minutes in this Dream
Just hold me close and lay with me.
Then ill wake up and soak it in ...

Fires Light
Probably absolute shit but whatever.. Its just silence if i dont share it so...
Your eyes are a universe
And I a lost space man.
My hands long only to traverse
Your bodies wonderland.
Your voice is song straight from the clouds,
Each word you speak, A spell.
Your presence is a golden shroud,
That shields from view this worlds cold Hell.
Your heart is fire that burns all,
Burns all that wander close enough
Most feel the flames , and see your walls
And run, not knowing its all worth your Love.
Not knowing...
Your eyes are a universe
And I a lost space man.
My hands long only to traverse
Your bodies wonderland.
Your voice is song straight from the clouds,
Each word you speak, A spell.
Your presence is a golden shroud,
That shields from view this worlds cold Hell.
Your heart is fire that burns all,
Burns all that wander close enough
Most feel the flames , and see your walls
And run, not knowing its all worth your Love.
Not knowing...

See Through
I miss you.
But you cant see me can you?
You cant see my hand reached out
Because i'm invisible, see through.
You only see me when you need me
When there's nobody else around
To stop loneliness from creeping.
I miss you.
But i might as well just be a toad,
The prince you kiss when you're alone
And need someone to share that load.
You dont see me you only see you,
You dont need me, what you need
Is someone to keep your soul
From being so lonely.
I miss you. ...

What reason, if any be there,
Has one to try or even care
About meaningless things,
Or unattainable dreams.
About all that we've got,
Or how its for naught
And how meaningless it all seems.
What reason, if one there lies,
Has any a man, or a woman, to try?
To try and try and try in vain,
To reach the sky they promised we'd obtain?
What chance has any against a foe
That steals the time from under our nose?
Will we ever be free of Lifes strain?
One only can take so much of something
Invading ones thoughts...
Has one to try or even care
About meaningless things,
Or unattainable dreams.
About all that we've got,
Or how its for naught
And how meaningless it all seems.

After all is said
For all of those Loves,
Passed or yet to come.
For all of the time
Spent loved by anyone.
For every moment
Caught up in warm embrace.
For every smile
Shone for me on someones face.
For every sleepless night,
When somebody was there.
For all of the lost souls,
That still managed to care.
Even if only for a moment
You changed the world I love.
You showed me many things
I'd only ever dreamed of.
Though it never did work out
And everything just fell apart,
There's love for you inside of me,...
Passed or yet to come.
For all of the time
Spent loved by anyone.
For every moment
Caught up in warm embrace.
For every smile
Shone for me on someones face.
For every sleepless night,
When somebody was there.
For all of the lost souls,
That still managed to care.
Even if only for a moment
You changed the world I love.
You showed me many things
I'd only ever dreamed of.
Though it never did work out
And everything just fell apart,
There's love for you inside of me,...

Within. Without.
Something is missing,
There's emptiness where once was pillars.
The passenger has gone,
And i thought I would feel better.
Alas, emptiness now prevails,
The emptiness of years spent chasing clouds.
Now time has grabbed the reins,
Time has grabbed my essence
And sucked it through my veins.
Emptiness prevails within,
A smiling facade without.
Cant feel what's real or even kill
The growing pain of standing still.
I cant go forward and I wont go back,
Im tired of living in a world I turn black.
There's only road in...
There's emptiness where once was pillars.
The passenger has gone,
And i thought I would feel better.
Alas, emptiness now prevails,
The emptiness of years spent chasing clouds.
Now time has grabbed the reins,
Time has grabbed my essence
And sucked it through my veins.
Emptiness prevails within,
A smiling facade without.
Cant feel what's real or even kill
The growing pain of standing still.
I cant go forward and I wont go back,
Im tired of living in a world I turn black.
There's only road in...
