Ache of Love
Your words gently burned
down every inch of my skin,
yet you tuned out
the rhythm of my heart,
pulsing with its ache of love,
when all you heard
was what my body wanted.
down every inch of my skin,
yet you tuned out
the rhythm of my heart,
pulsing with its ache of love,
when all you heard
was what my body wanted.

puzzled
such a beautiful thing we have
why do we kill each other
beauty is everywhere
and we turn it ugly
hate is winning
love is losing
so fucking
confusing
why do we kill each other
beauty is everywhere
and we turn it ugly
hate is winning
love is losing
so fucking

One Last Requiem for the Hill Folk
Just like the mountains,
you never fully notice
until they are gone.

A genuine smile?
My smile hides me
I can mislead all of you
Hurt, a distant tear
I can mislead all of you
Hurt, a distant tear

The paths unclear
Heckled by emotions
Making a mind so jaded
The memories are there
But the colours are faded
Happiness and health
Trust and fear
The windows all misty
The paths unlclear
Making a mind so jaded
The memories are there
But the colours are faded
Happiness and health
Trust and fear
The windows all misty
The paths unlclear

Echoes Of A Decaying Heart
untouched for years ~ in
a slow decay ~ bereft of
love ~ no connection

happiness runs
and loneliness spins
minds explode
while ants march
into your head
teapots whistle
don't drink the orange tea
no light gets in
if you close the door too tight
and loneliness spins
minds explode
while ants march
into your head
teapots whistle
don't drink the orange tea
no light gets in
if you close the door too tight

Jackson 5
I only wanted
one A
one B
one C
that's all i ever wanted
as easy as 1-2-3
never wanted anything else
just you and me
A-B-C
1-2-3
but that's never been easy
always been hard
never gonna be
you and me
one A
one B
one C
that's all i ever wanted
as easy as 1-2-3
never wanted anything else
just you and me
A-B-C
1-2-3
but that's never been easy
always been hard
never gonna be
you and me

Heartless
I found
A scarlet heart
Lying broken
Upon my carpet
Within my room
It bled not
And showed no signs
Of ever
Being loved

Watching The Fire
Getting it started was so easy
with a will of its own
(the way of nature and things)
We brought the kindling
and thus, we had fire
Keeping it going was no problem
So energetic, we sweated
yet tirelessly fed its hunger
Feeding the flames its constant needs
Because of what it gave us;
Making love in the still of night
and watching the fire
in the reflection of our crystal eyes
~
For all of our toils
we now had a house
to protect our fire
from its very mother ...
with a will of its own

yet tirelessly fed its hunger
Feeding the flames its constant needs
Because of what it gave us;
Making love in the still of night
and watching the fire
in the reflection of our crystal eyes
~
For all of our toils
we now had a house
to protect our fire
from its very mother ...
