Warm

The only warmth I feel is that of the tears on my cheeks. The only happiness I feel is that of others. All I really want is the safety of a strong embrace. To be in the arms of another and feel at home.

Lavender

Did you ever close your eyes to feel the ground beneath your feet,
or stop listening to the freeway just to gaze upon the stars?
Have you ever known what it is to stop feeling
or to taste the rising sun?
Did you ever pass the roses to find the lavender instead
because in all of its simplicity, it smells just as sweet.

Empty Page

An empty page, a solemn cry,
A lack of words when tears run dry.
When all is lost and none is good
What light could not, the darkness could.
Candles flicker lusty light
that makes us love the black of night.
A loss of self, a dusty tomb
a grave we dig for ones own doom.
For who are we? Why are we here?
With lack of purpose, growing fear
Why are we here, what can we do
When all our hearts are torn in two.
An empty page, a solemn cry,
Do we live of should we die

Remember

If something else was on, would you forget
If you had to get up early, would you forget
If you had to work late, would you forget
If you had plans to meet your friends would you forget
If you were halfway across the world, would you forget
If you couldn’t actually see me, would you forget
If you had nothing, nothing at all other, Would you forget
I wouldn’t.
Please remember me..

Leon's Homework. That I did for him.

The darkness, it succumbs me, it’s screaming out my name
It’s drawing me towards it, to the centre of the maze
It wraps its arms around me and takes away my pain
All the misery and loneliness that haunts me in the days
The sting of burning daylight, it shows up all the flaws
It shows the failures and mishaps, all the cuts and all the scars
It’s light that, upon us, forces foolish rules and laws
But the darkness brings us freedom, like a lack of walls and bars
The dark is not an enemy, but an escape from being wrong
You see only what’s within you, what is not seen with your eyes
And all that stood before you does no longer seem so strong
You hear only words of truth and are never fooled by lies
The darkness falls upon us with the sunset of each night
It oozes from each crevice and returns each wrong to right.

No Words

There's no words for this feeling This lulling deep inside
Theres no way to convey this, but its something I can't hide
I feel as if I'm flying, my heart is on a high
My face reveals the way I feel, There's love in every sigh
I love the way this feels now, the calming of my nerves
Like every thing that comes my way is just a minor curve
There is only one for me who makes me feel this way
I wish that I could be with him at night and in the day
Theres no words for this feeling, this caring, calming love
but it's surely from the heavens, he's my gift from above

Times of doubt

He'll kiss my hand, he'll hold me tight, he'll keep me safe and warm,
He'll love me for a lifetime and he'll help me through the storms.
He'll have to know me inside out, he'll have to see my soul
to help me in the biggest way and fill the throbbing hole.
He will be so very handsome, from the inside shining out
he'll be there to stand up for me when I'm in times of doubt.
I don't know when I'll find him, or if he will be mine,
but love with him could surely last the strongest test of time.

Dreamland

Oh dearest king Leon, off lost in his head.
Adrift in a dreamland awake in his bed
the strangest of subjects, he dreams of great tales
of flying through treetops upon twisted gales
direction not chosen, irregular juts
swooping and swerving and landing in ruts
lost of all senses and wandering forests
he shrinks to the ground and lays down upon it
delving in further, he reaches in deep
finding quiet and love hes intending to keep
for no greater value is a break from the crown
then to lay in a forest as rain buckets down
his crown weighs him heavy, of silver and gold
but such feelings are something he'd rather with-hold
away from the busy demands and the pressure
a day to be normal can make it all better
but awakened he is now, from dreams and from magic
returned to his day-job of pressure and panic
but return he will to his fantasy dreamland
where all is as wished, spontaneous and unplanned.

Let

A final breath, the last thing hits
A gasp of air, a final fit
To pouring tears, from angry tones
My mind is scattered, lost a home
The spinning arrow finally rests
But the mark remains upon my chest
The final words, to let me go
But why today to let me know
The day is clear, the skies are blue
Now blue is all my heart sees too
It soon will pass, I know this much
But I still wish I could feel your touch
I needed you, you helped me live
You scarcely took and loved to give
You loved me always, held me dear
Today you swept my heart with fear
But I understand, I do know why
But none the less, tears, I do cry
I loved you then, I love you now
You let me go to help me down
If you love somebody, you set them free
That’s why you’re doing it to me
But you taught me love and gave me home
I’ll forget you not, in my heart you’re sewn

Still

The stillness, it is chilling, my eyes begin to droop,
I'm pushing down the feelings that will keep me in a loop.
The water runs together, the ends will always meet,
But it's different when it's rolling from my eyes down to my feet.
Your arms are warm and open, your heart is made of gold,
When you are not around with me the world can seem so cold.
I wish that you were with me now, I wish that you were here,
To hold me safe and keep me sane and wipe away the tears.
I don't know where you are now, if you're happy, if you're safe,
I don't even know if you're still walking in this plane,
But I do know that I love you, I know I always will,
And in all my foolish, cruel mistakes, my heart is with you still..

Love

Let all your worries just wither away
Embrace the freedoms we get everyday
Stop looking so hard at things that are not now
For all that we need is here on the prowl
Quiet your mind and embrace every moment
For love is here. Let the world know it
The past is just daunting, it haunts me to look
And the future will happen, it'll be it's own book
But we need not dwell, and we need not predict
We need not judge ourselves or those that don't fit
For the "I am not sufficient as I am"
Is purely a fear and myth and a scam
Let us silence our minds and be free once again
Without needing to run or pretend
Sensations we're given, they're there to be felt
But when it leaves on its own accord that's all that is dealt
We can continue to live and embrace every moment
The love's all around us, if only we'd know it.

Umbrella

It seems it’s planned for me to suffer and prone for me to hurt.
It seems that it is casual to throw me in the dirt.
It seems that in my hopefulness I once again could see,
That hope is just a fairytale. Never meant for me.
I’d like to think I could be happy, to smile every day,
But every time I turn around a frown is in my way.
The universe has planned this, all of it for me.
To pick me up and push me down. To try to make me see.
The world we’re in is crippling, it’s crushing down our souls.
It’s pushing us between things and tearing down our goals.
All this is so excessive. It’s so hard to accept.
When promises are trash talk and only lies are kept.
This is a never ending circle of painful burns and scars,
Where nothing more but meteors is falling from the stars.
May my frown be by umbrella. Preparing me for worse
And to help the coming rainstorm be a slightly weaker curse.
