When everything is lost

nothing more to do, nothing more to say

it all disappearing into a forest of no reason

never to be seen or heard from again

sometimes it happens without knowing

it having been there in the first place

with emotions of lost happiness staying

where all the whispers took place

when there's nothing more to do

nothing more to say, when everything's lost

and nothing more is gained

when nothing more to do 

and nothing more to gain

will never come again

One of those faces

I can hear her cry, slowly, deeply, every breath taking

in the darkness of a dorment night

I can hear her beg for mercy, lost in a void of her own making

crashing down in its tears, forever taking

and I wish, I could catch them one by one, ease her pain

but I'm not what she wants

Still I care, love has many faces, whispered slowly

a verbal sensation, I'm one of those faces

in a dark dorment night, where even the sound of a  teardrop falling

cannot survive

I can hear her cry

A King and a Queen

she came to my doorstep on a swift summer breeze with spreaded wings

a Queen coming for her King, something at the time I didn't see

only, after spending time, I started feeling more, more than it ever did to me

we were in love, more than we could ever be

our love was strong, intens a bond, stronger than reason, stronger than ever leaving

we lived a summer of endless love, until reason came along, took us apart and,...

spoke to us

we needed time, time apart, time to breath, time to generate, time to contain

what a King and a Queen need, again she will come to my doorstep, on a swift

summer breeze, with spreaded wings

a Queen of Hearts, took my heart and gave me all I need, on a swift summer breeze

Forever gone

I don't know where the love went

I don't know where its gone

and I'm searching for it, searching

never finding, something

so precious, lost to a gentle core

as love has lost its total precense

it only lectures its case of 

more, more and more, and when it did

I said,...

no, no no,... no more

no more to its core

your heart is something 

that has lost its reason and need 

for me to care for

now I know where the love has gone

it has become strong

it has become independent, 

showing me the door

telling me it has no need to care

for something of the likes of me

giving me something better

something 'I need' 

giving me my freedom, my peace 

better than any love that won't care 

or even stay with me

Without a sound

there's a road, a breath taking road

filled with words of truth travellin'

at the speed of sound

it falters, a withered leaf of words is cast to the ground

'Silenced', their truth challenged, they will now speak

without a sound

Breath of relief

I've lived long and fast

I've loved and cried out hard

thinkin' it wouldn't last

but now getting near the end

a smile on my lips

a kiss for the life that did last

'cause when I do

as the heavens invite me

a smile and a breath of relief

will reach my lips

saying goodbye to 

all the girls I kissed

knowing new times are ahead of me

when I leave

Some of the good times

sometimes,...when the clouds gather again

I think of you, wondering if I'd ever come again

I did, as I always did, on time always with you

always around, untill something showed, lingered

and was passed around in my mind it hit a nerve in 

a corner of my mind, 

a possibility, I couldn't deny, I decided to put it to the test 

and was found right, it now is many years ago, a pain lingers

buried in my mind

I tried to shake it, fold it, throw it away, I didn't succeed

it just remained, hard to accept, memories can mellow in time

turning the hands of time in to something better, a more worthy life

and sometimes, time reminds you, of what once was...

some of the good times
