Me
Tell them what you have seen of me,
old friend. Tell of what she did to me.
A broken leaf washed out to sea.
Blown asunder and left to bleed.
Show what love had done to me,
old friend. Let no one feel the same.
No one wants what she did to me.
Scorched and burnt in fires heat.
Fell down the seven gates of hell,
I did. I knew my life was sealed.
Love until the end of time,
I will. Without a guide or shield.
I wait each day for a word to hear
All night, I wait for a glimpse, a tear.

Hell
Is this what hell is all about?
Darkness flashing all around.
Lost in a world of my own.
Walking in a crowd all alone.
Why did they all have to leave?
What have I done? tell me please.
I must have deserved this strife.
For all the sins of my life.
Is this all the love I'll ever get?
Everyone gone, all I've ever met.
Hell is but a stroll in the park,
compared to this life in the dark.
Is this what hell is all about?
This must be my fault, no doubt.
Cursed to stay in this land,
with no one to hold my...

Fly Away
Why are you smiling
Little bird in the sky?
You've traveled so far.
Seen the world go by.
You've been to the Moon.
Skimmed the clouds up high.
Talked to stars as they twinkled
and laughed ever so shy.
So why are you singing
when you should cry?
Forget the times
we spent together and fly.
What have I done to you
except to lie?
And lay to waste your world
and let your heart wither and die.
So fly away. I warn you.
I wonder why you bothered to stay?
To...

Don't
Don’t
Don't throw away the nights
you spent in love
Don't give up the lights
you built above
Don't listen to words
spoken in spite
Don’t forget the birds
playing inflight
Don't give up the fight
you still can win
Don’t run and hide
raise up that chin
Don’t give up to fear
as we both agreed
But most importantly…
Don’t forget I’m here
in your hour of need
Don't throw away the nights
you spent in love
Don't give up the lights
you built above
Don't listen to words
spoken in spite
Don’t forget the birds
playing inflight
Don't give up the fight
you still can win
Don’t run and hide
raise up that chin
Don’t give up to fear
as we both agreed
But most importantly…
Don’t forget I’m here
in your hour of need

Why Do I Love Her?
Why do I love her?
Why do I love her? I don't know
We're nothing alike, should that matter?
Opposites attract I've heard them say
Can we do what couldn't be done?
She likes to bathe, I like to shower
She likes hot water, I like it warm
She uses body wash, I use soap
We often take our baths together
She likes pasta, I like a burger
She likes salad, I like soup
She eats slow, I eat fast
We love to go out to dinner
She sleeps early, I stay up late
She rises early, I like to nap
She likes the day,...

All Good Deeds
Authors notes: This is an old story I've heard sometime ago and I wish to share it with you.
All good deeds...
A long time ago in a land far away there used to be a man, a very poor man. He was so poor that at times he didn't even have anything to eat for days and days. But he was a good man, a kind man but more importantly an honest man who didn't harm or bore any ill will to anyone.
One day he was walking in the market place trying to find work or something to eat. Suddenly he stumbled upon a little blue sack that was discarded on the side of...

Back to the Beginning
It is back
The dreaded day
When you
have to pay
your way
into the sack
It is strange
For at night
You think
You’ve seen the light
The next
Your are back
To the beginning
You have already
lost from the start
When you first said
Till death do us part
A sinkhole
Forever black
They call it V-Day
A victory dance
As if you’ve ever
had the chance
to surrender
Or go back
To the beginning
The dreaded day
When you
have to pay
your way
into the sack
It is strange
For at night
You think
You’ve seen the light
The next
Your are back
To the beginning
You have already
lost from the start
When you first said
Till death do us part
A sinkhole
Forever black
They call it V-Day
A victory dance
As if you’ve ever
had the chance
to surrender
Or go back
To the beginning

We Tried
I knew she knew the hurt I felt
It broke my heart the day she left
We tried to mend our lives we spent
And tried to saw the fields we grow
Alas we failed our hearts betrayed
By love and hate we recently made
I thought we had a wonderful life
Time spent so sad as husband and wife
We could have made the world go round
Instead we laid the ground to waist
In our haste we broke the trust
That bound two lovers to sand and dust
I think we knew our lives were lost
The times we grew to hide our lust
As days went by our...

Death
I ran.
Hiding between the sheets.
Between shadows of light,
of words,
of hope,
of fear.
I prayed.
There is no where to run.
There is no where to go.
Not under my Sun.
He finally said.
Let me be.
Let me stay.
For one more day.
Pleeeease.
I cried.
There is no escape.
Not from me.
No place to be,
that I do not see
Can’t you see?
Can’t you hear?
cries of my children,
wails of women,
lies of men so dear?
A sound I heard
time and time...
Hiding between the sheets.
Between shadows of light,
of words,
of hope,
of fear.
I prayed.
There is no where to run.
There is no where to go.
Not under my Sun.
He finally said.
Let me be.
Let me stay.
For one more day.
Pleeeease.
I cried.
There is no escape.
Not from me.
No place to be,
that I do not see
Can’t you see?
Can’t you hear?
cries of my children,
wails of women,
lies of men so dear?
A sound I heard
time and time...
