Let it be the love

let the water come down from the rocks

let it run into the cracks of my heart

let it fill up the empty spaces

let it be the guide to something new

let it be the love I never knew

let it be just that

Wings

He will hold her, he will carry her

if he must and let her wings fly again as

death sometimes is a messenger of

peace and sometimes of grief

(c) JR. 2024

Times coming down

she will always be the woman for him

and the times will come down, raining on him

ever losing her

so when she leaves her image will always be there

staring him in the face, never forgetting her

knowing sometime in time she will come again

Whatever I do

I can read her like a book but

whatever I do, I keep reading her book

whatever I do

but lately, things have changed

words are dropping out, maimed

not to be replaced

and I wonder will will I ever 

read her book again, somehow, somewhere

the ending has changed,..

it's been a long time,...

but I noticed words are reappearing

I can read the ending again

it's been a long time,... whatever I do

I keep on reading her book

whatever I do

Happiness

love sometimes,...is the happiness you're not looking for

and sometimes love is the happiness you don't need, ' cause

when love's not happy it will leave

and the happiness you were looking for is a happiness

in the mind that does not exist and above all is not real.

Cause love decided to leave

I've been in love with love so many times 

and how it's treated me, granting me wishes

I never thought and never knew of, but now

it's tearing me up and apart, taking down my 

very soul, taking down the very love I knew

taking down my believes, granting me no peace

' Cause love decided to leave, breaking up with me

this very morning, what can I say, she left me, taking down

my very soul, taking my reasons to believe

a wind of change is blowing them in different directions

blowing them to where I can't see, making me blind to what I feel

' cause love decided to leave this morning at 10.03

Waiting game

it was something she said 

on the day we met

'you're such a good friend'

and I thought

I will not be waiting

I will be gone

I know what you've done, 

it won't help

leaving this waiting game

I will be your yesterday

'cause your games will come 

and never end

your shadows will come 

and be your best friend

but I won't be around 

when the sun goes down

and it all comes to an end
