Tears

Cry about your past
Till a river drowns your future
Think of each moment and its accompanying pain
Daydream of how you could have changed it

Sink without help
As you hail yourself with the torture of regret
And watch your soul thump
At the bottom of the ocean of fear
With no shore and no air

Come Home

Walk back in and smile
I forgive you
Being alone made me forget
An empty bed is worse than your empty promises

Candles aren’t special when they only cast my shadow
No one says my name like you do
They know the word
They just don’t care about what it means

The Dreamer’s Prayer

Pray that stars shall never fall
Pray for things both big and small
Ask for love and many kisses
Ask to add onto your wishes

Throw your dreams out to the sky
Ask for it all, don’t be shy
Most of all start to believe
Open your arms and then receive

The Time

This is when love should appear

It was so far but now it is near

I’ve met the world and now I wait

I’ve waited long, I’ve waited late

For streets and cities I have seen

And inside my heart I have been

And now I am ready to meet you

Show yourself so I can greet you

shaddow

By the time I realized that all beauty was contained in your eyes

You were long gone

Even your shadow and footsteps were a memory

All those times I lay with you

All the laughter, music and mystery

Were nothing to me

Walking through the marketplace

I would dream that I saw you again

That we could start the dream from the beginning

I had grown older and wiser now

And women would seek me

But I could not even look at who they were

I didn’t want to

The curse of your beauty had crawled into my soul

It left no room for another.

Do I not fill your dreams?

For you saw everything that I am.

You saw me even beyond my vision

Does the sunset not remind you of me

Do the stars and moon not take you back to what we once were

Gazing lovers of the night

Death of the family

Couples of new types emerge

As brides and grooms become extinct

Families take a back seat to the death of the family

The birth of love in a different form

The values and traditions lose themselves

Forced to see the truth, the sons and daughters

Reject the mothers and fathers

There will be no more

There will be no more children

For I am to have fun forever

I am to be the child till I die

And you as my parent will watch the dynasty crumble

All in the name of happiness

I will break the ties and remove the bonds

I’m from generation ‘rationale’

The last generation to live

Family

I wanted to think
That all the time we spent together
Was special.
Until I realized, that all the time we spent together,
Was why we are all apart.

I wanted to think we intimately loved each other,
But with no hugs or kisses for years I’m not so sure.

I wanted us to bond as adults
Like we did as children.
But even sitting at the same table
We all remain distant.

I wanted us to at least be in each other’s thoughts
But recently minds seem elsewhere.
