Vested

Changing guard, changing times
Toys are put away
The hollow bells begin to chime
And numbly we obey

Place and time already set
Naught to do but wait
Hearts that fill with pain, regret
Fight the hand of fate

The time approaches quickly now
As turbulent feelings grow
Will this end in promised vow,
Or heartbreak pain and woe?

Supplication

If it were you...

Would you...
Still be waiting,
Still be hoping,
Still be longing?

Would...
Your brain think of me first,
Your body ache for me,
Your soul burn for me?

Could you...
Wait patiently,
Move on,
Find a new love,
Find a new life?

But what about the promise...
Not to betray or stray,
Not buy look or word,
Or thought or word,
Or by touch?

Would you...

For me?

The Dance

Eyes with penetrating gaze
Pierce the madness and confusion
Slowly meeting across the haze
In want of inevitable conclusion
Stranded there in captured fate
Lifeblood flows a new
Staying here is worth the wait
The need to see this through
Reaching through the Great Divide
The dance, a pax de deux
Coming forward side by side
My fate is tied to you

Love Formula

When time was old and we were young
The rosebuds blossomed blue
Throughout the land the Word was sung
Of Deeds both good and true

When time was Free and we were kept
The rosebuds blossomed black
The singing ceased, flowers wept
Our words for feelings, lacked

When time was young and we were old
The rosebuds blossomed grey
Time was stalled and dark and cold
The seconds passed away

When time was kept and we were free
The whole world blossomed new
We walked and laughed by sandy seas
The words we spoke were true

Pressed

I made it
I survived the day
On the morn
Who know or doth say?
The time passes by
None 'er asking why
And I've said all
I have to say

*title suggested by My father

He said/She said

Let them keep talking
The lights on when you're ready
They've done all the talking
So keep moving steady
The sweet sounds of reason
Will soon bright your way
He says/she says
Shall quick fly away
The time it will pass
As people will stay
Reason has shown
Will paves the way
And when it does come
The light will blinding
True love at its best
As hate is unwinding

Found this lying around

Mutual Destruction

The smell of you wreaths my every breath
As we lie embracing
Tomorrow is a heartbeat away
If it never came would you mind?
You hold my hand so tight
Yours engulfs mine
Your life is so grand
This is your sanctuary
Your refuge
Who would take that away?
When the sun rises you have to leave
I die a little each time
I die when you come
You die when I come
Mutual Destruction
A supernova in your eyes
Can we stay here?
I know better
But I can dream
Can’t I?

Lies

To think this on the lies we tell
To prove to the world all is well
I'm fine, It's mine,Your hair looks divine
You'd think it some bloody magical spell

One tries to be much more then cleaver
When putting words all together
We try to be good and do all we should
Sometimes there are storms we must weather

No lies, the Bible doth say
Keep the way of the Lord a'lway
Sometimes it is needed
Rules not to be heeded
The punishment later to pay

Change

I saw you today
Walking across the square
And when you looked at me
Your eyes weren't really there
I started to walk toward you
I started to go and stopped
You saw me and you turned around
My heart found fear and dropped
The weather had been bright
Sun shining, clear, serene
Out of nowhere clouds began to roll
Painting a dismal scene
Now I turn, I run from you
My panic, fear and pain
Have caught me deep with in my soul
As teardrops turn rain

Verdad

Verdad

Love means saying no

Turning away

So the tears don’t show

Walking away

With your head held high

Heart breaking

Knowing it’s for the best

Not for you

But for your beloved

For without you

They will soar to new heights

With you

All they will have

Is you

And you are not enough

For anyone
