The Lamp and the Mirror's Midnight Chat
In silence's hush, where shadows play,
a lamp and mirror conversed one day,
their voices whisper, soft and low,
as midnight's stillness let their secrets grow.
Lamp: "Oh, Mirror, reflector of the soul,
what tales you tell, in silvery role.
Do you see joy or sorrow's sway?"
Mirror: "Both, dear Lamp, in endless array."
Lamp: "I light the path, through darkest night,
guiding dreamers, banishing fright.
But do you think, my glow's enough?"
Mirror: "Your radiance, shines steadfast love." ...

As I Sleep
At night when I lay in bed,
as I drift towards my sleep,
when the eve becomes shadowy red,
my slumber has begun deep,
my reflection goes back to better days.
At night when I lay in bed,
sleeping,
dreams take over,
as my spirit drifts
I enter the magical realm of fairytale land.
At night when I lay in bed,
as I drift towards my sleep,
when the eve becomes shadowy red,
I constantly remind myself,
that next to me,
lies you.
as I drift towards my sleep,
when the eve becomes shadowy red,
my slumber has begun deep,
my reflection goes back to better days.
At night when I lay in bed,

dreams take over,
as my spirit drifts
I enter the magical realm of fairytale land.
At night when I lay in bed,
as I drift towards my sleep,
when the eve becomes shadowy red,
I constantly remind myself,
that next to me,

God’s Plan
How did we get here?
Please help me understand.
Did true love find us?
Is this God’s plan?
Our plan was to just have fun
enjoy life’s pleasures
fulfill our dirtiest fantasies
nothing more,
nothing less,
no expectations
friends with sexual benefits
full stop
the end,
but as our lips met the first time
it became clear
we started a fire that could not be extinguished
as I entered your sacred haven
and our bodies danced in unison
the tears falling from your eyes
as we both...

Were I a Palm Tree
I see a palm tree
stand tall
arms spread wide
reaching across the sky
fingers waving in the wind.
As I look at the palm tree
I wonder
if it were me
would I be as happy and glee?

Sunset
I sat beneath an Almond tree
by the sea,
and looked at the sun as it set
over the horizon.
The sea,
in its serenity,
beckoned to me.
I closed my eyes
and the magic died.

Misunderstood
It's really hard to wear a smile
when inside
your heart cries
the pain you feel
overshadowed on the outside.
It's not easy being strong
when you can't breathe
gasping for air
hanging on to life
not giving up the fight.
Why wear a crown
and not a frown?
Why not just cry
when all around you are lies?
The truth undefined.
Smiles hide a lot,
a misleading disguise
that tells a false tale
of happiness
though inside you feel like dying.
A sincere smile
can heal a wounded...
when inside
your heart cries
the pain you feel
overshadowed on the outside.
It's not easy being strong
when you can't breathe
gasping for air
hanging on to life
not giving up the fight.
Why wear a crown
and not a frown?
Why not just cry
when all around you are lies?
The truth undefined.
Smiles hide a lot,
a misleading disguise
that tells a false tale
of happiness
though inside you feel like dying.
A sincere smile
can heal a wounded...

Lost
Trying to find myself
I look in my mirror
unrecognizable eyes
look back at me
a smile
then a frown
I don't know who I see
questions in my mind
emotional scars
why am I even in this world?
Trying to find
where I belong
I search deep inside
the depths of my subconscious
unkindled passion burns
like a fiery furnace
trying to see myself,
who I truly am,
I try to go back
to that moment in time
when the eyes in the mirror
looking back at me
was indeed the man you see.

The New Death Song
He cried out heplessly
I can't breathe!
I don't want to die!
help me, please!
They stood by
watching
some silent
some pleading.
Let him go
he did no wrong!
I can't breathe
became a death song.
I just want to go home
what's my crime?
Can you please call my mother
so I can say goodbye?
He cried out hopelessly
I can't breathe!
as his life drifted away
under the deadly knees.
They only laughed
mockingly
ignoring him
his life didn't...
I can't breathe!
I don't want to die!

You Love Me To Tears
Baby, you love me to tears
happy
not sad tears
you eliminate my fears
awakened a fiery passion
like a volcano that slept
you love me to tears
joyful
happy tears
a love I never knew existed
in reality
I must be dreaming
this must be a fairy tale
yet it feels so real
because I can taste
the salty tears.

Reminisce
When my lips touched yours and I got a taste of true love's kiss,
my mind began to reminisce,
of days gone by,
those dreams I had,
the fantasies of a fairytale romance.
When I felt your breasts pressed against my chest,
and my heart, beat in sync with yours,
I remember the nights passed,
when I longed to feel the warmth of your breath,
on my neck.
When you whispered in my ears that you love me,
my knees buckled,
your voice made me weak.
Momentarily I journeyed to a place that seemed like Heaven,
because that...

Ready For Love
I was ready for love
but I guess love wasn't ready
for me
or it wasn't my time yet.
I was ready to be committed
I wanted a happy life
with a house full of children
but it wasn't my time yet.
When I said I do
I wanted it to be forever,
together,
not apart.
My heart was full.
I felt complete with you in my life.
As I look back
my heart asks, why
I was ready for love,
but love wasn't ready for me.
but I guess love wasn't ready
for me
or it wasn't my time yet.
I was ready to be committed
I wanted a happy life
with a house full of children
but it wasn't my time yet.
When I said I do
I wanted it to be forever,
together,
not apart.
My heart was full.
I felt complete with you in my life.
As I look back
my heart asks, why
I was ready for love,
but love wasn't ready for me.
