Alone

 and when I die

I won't be alone

I will have my spirit

and my soul

I won't be alone

I won't be alone

I will be a ray, a shine

a guiding light

I won't be alone

when I die

shit,...I am alone

I am alone...

with countless others

Your world

when I am in my world

I can never be in yours

holding on to something

I can never possess

never feel its richness

never feel your soul

so much I want to have

and when I go, leave and turn away

I know I will never come back to stay

and my heart will die every moment

every day

so when I am in my world

I can never be in yours

holding on to something

I can never possess

never feel its richness

never feel your soul

so much I want to have

The only word

when life doesn't live up to its performance

leaving you its scars somewhere down an empty street

where you're drowning your soul in sorrow

an answer is what you need an answer that

will again make you whole and complete 

if nothing else .. 

it's the only way to meet your need

so do what has to be done put your question to the test

knowing you have nothing to lose and everything to gain

as ' yes ' would be the only word to make you stay

Soul

 

when your soul is filled with the anguish

emptiness and hollow sorrow of a once

scarred and beaten old tree

will your soul, will it fill the heart

of the unborn flower that's afraid

to come into bloom and bear 

the burden of being beautiful

and when it does, will its fragrance then

descend into the heart of every single soul

and will peace in its valleys prevail

With me

wherever you go
wherever you are
I'll be there
you'll be there
waiting for me
waiting for it to happen
to bring us together
to go all the way
not to hesitate
yet never to hate

but keep it all in the heart
in the mind, in the soul
we were whole
nothing can take away
nothing can change the day
I met you, cherished you
envied you
for the beauty you had
all of it you shared
with me

with me
only with me
you shared
all you had
without regret
your soul lay bare
for me to care
and keep always
you never questioned me
you trusted me
you were a leaf
floating on the wind
carried to me
to find
to bring home
with me

and you stayed
never complained
never could I fail
in your eyes I was great
we had a lifelong date
I'm so glad for what we have
what we've got
seems to be enough for us
not to be blown away
not to float away
to another place
you stayed
found your tree agian
to celebrate
our union
that took place
and you stayed
never complained
you stayed
with me

Compromise

my body is a temple
where my soul reigns
filled up to the rim

with faith, truth, compromise
if need, when it reaches out for
the boundries of

infinite love

Road of my misfortune

as I'm walking down, this road of my misfortune
where I lost that touch, where my heart once was
I ask myself, 'when will my future decide, to take
a hold of me again', as it did so many times before

as I know it will, as it always does, easing my pain
caressing my soul, soothing my weary mind, stroking
my hair against the winds of time, on this road of my
misfortune

and yes, the times they will be better, my eyes will
shine that new born light and my laugh will clear
the sky, yes, my happiness will strike me again

Grapes on the vine

she chills me to the bone
her body's my mind and soul
sweet and tender like a sunrise

she's my territory's only game
she's the one I gave my name
full of desire this illumination

this prophecy of taste so devine
she brings me her total sacrefice
her loyalty lies with her grapes
on the vine

Infinite, Roots, Well to do, Kiss, Restfullness

my body is a temple where
my soul reigns, filled to the rim
with faith, truth and compromise
if need

when it reaches for the boundries
of... infinite love

___________________________

roots of understanding are sown
by the love we feel.

see the houses of the well to do
they posess what will once shelter
you

love is only a kiss away

the resfullness of my chair is
a gift of the maker

On the vine

she chills me to the bone
her body is my mind an' soul
sweet an' tender like a sunrise

she's my territory's only game
she's like the one I gave my name
full o' desire this illumination

this prophecy of taste so devine
she brings me her total sacrefice
her loyalty lies with her grapes
on the vine

Sensation

walking up to my staircase of heaven
not knowing what I will see, feel or find

as where I'm goin' it has no time or place
in the aftermath of a mind where my soul

is breating its new surroundings restricted
to a sensation that can only live in the loss

of a deceased mind,
