Goodbye Forever Again What A funny thing time is, my love. I think its past me by. Where did you go? And what did you become? So much else than the one I knew. I don't see you any more, You are nowhere to be found. How can I be where you say? In front of my eyes, you are? My senses dimmed - my memory sheared. Reason is the grail for which I search, Inside I look - but still there is nothing. A soul you say? That's not my goal... That's another now , remember? Gambled away with frivolity - so much now I lost. Imagine what I'm left with now, After my Hope and Faith disperse. You wouldn't take all I had from me? Leave the man

Find A Way If we awoke tomorrow and had no words left in the world, I'd find a way to say: "I Love You". If morning came and had no sun in the sky, I'd find a way to see the light in those eyes. If there wasn't a song, I'd still sing it. If there wasn't a fight, I'd still win it. For you, never doubt, I'd find a way.

Short #1 I've given myself a second chance - Although they are but few. But that matters not much at all, The question is: "Will you?"

Five Minutes Turn the clock back, just five minutes - To that moment when our eyes met. Sat across the table - drinks in hand. Conversation had silenced - transcended speech. In that pause, that recess of time and space, I should have said: "I Love You. You mean more to me than life itself - A rare thing, you are, that makes me smile." What next? No idea - I don't make plans - You'd laugh; or smile; say something sweet. With that, the power to shape my being - I see that path roll out before me. Time would pass - you'd show me the world, How much the things in life matter, All the small things - All the joy they bring. L

Hope Floats? There it is again. That 'Hope' you love so well. It docked on the shore - Then it gripped you - it held you firm. Why leave? You're safe - why rock the boat? But you do see the shoreline, do you not? You will regret not going, believe you me. No doubt, no danger where you stand. Look yonder, though, those smiling faces beachwards. Each of them jumped ashore. A leap of faith. They broke free of Fear. They never looked back. Oh true, not all were so lucky. Some were wretched - they ran straight back. Though their ship, already, long since gone. Torrid in torment - they waited for the next. And wait they do. You're

Hope Floats Hope. I'm not convinced you know. Intangible, fickle, distant. Never what is now. Except in that place behind the eyes. How easy life becomes - to close those eyes, Lost in a world of my own. Sailing this vessel called 'Hope'. I am its Captain. I am the sole soul aboard. What is, what ought, and what will, All meshed to form a mighty hull. Crashing through waves of doubt - Unbreakable. Infallible. Free. But the light of dawn pierces - Reality's revealed: An iceberg on course, It destroys my humble refuge. But Hope Floats. It is I who am washed away. Overcome by emotion. My mind is deep. I am drowning. Writhi

But Who A face without a name; He has a body too - But his watchful glances, his questioning stares, Ask not how, why, but who. A tall man, young man, white man, Well educated through and through. You know all you need of this charming soul, All, perhaps, but who. You need not a name to know him; Though more than he's black or blue. Tis not the title which maketh the man, It's nothing else, but who. One of six billion - a tear in the sea, But can you see what the other one's do? We all move apart as we search for another, They each call out a name - but who? If every man is an island, We all should be born anew; Until the q

Sun Rises – Life starts anew A hundred miles from a place called ‘home’ Where every move leads further into the fog. Vision clouded – lost afore a new world; Single souls search for the shore: They find each other – their journey continues. Time passes – a new ‘home’ develops The emergent community hails freedom - Yet such liberty never comes without cost. Wealth diminishes – lifestyle adapts gradually; As independence grows with treasured experience: Values taken for granted become so much more. Obligation – need to care for ones self. Warmth of a pampered existence A distant me

I wish that I could blame way This feeling in my heart It weighs me down more every day I want a brand new start I wish that I could move on Without leaving you behind But I’ve given you the keys To my heart and to my mind I know you’re not here anymore You left without a trace But I can’t stop my eyes From dreaming of your face And I know the voices in my head Are mine and mine alone But who is one to talk to When you’re lost and far from home I know you’re gone forever But forever is too long I’m not sure that I can make it I’m not sure I can hold on I wish that I could blame away Thi

I thought you were my destiny I thought I was everything to you But now I can finally see That you don’t care if I am blue Your body is standing next to me But your heart is in some other place At some point, your heart took off and left me And now, the truth I am trying to face We once lived above the clouds in the skies But now your words sound so hollow And you seem to be trapped in a web of lies This path I can no longer follow You do not care about me anymore You just want to have someone by your side Someone who you no longer adore But someone so you can manipulate her mind I am not willing to let you tear my heart

I'm sorry I fell in love with you For causing pain is the best thing I do I should have left when love came around But I found it's rarity too profound I thought I could love and leave things be But I can't so here's my plea I'm sorry I let some feelings get in the way But I fell in love so what else can I say I wish I could turn back the hands of time So I could stop this ongoing crime Now I'm left wishing for a fresh start Because it hurts to have a broken heart Love screws up how and what you think And causes mood swings as often as you blink I won't allow myself to sit here and wait For true love to turn to hate There's so

There she is Oh my Can I handle it? I don't know Maybe Not yet I want to touch her, see her, feel her But I don't do it Why? I'm scared And that's the end of all

My dear now I know pain For sorrow is all I gain My love is strong My heart is weak Happiness and comfort are all I seek You can give me that you know I know by the care and trust you show But please remember I trust you too All I want is this that you do Everyday my mind wanders And ends up thinking of you I think I'm in love I may be in love I know I'm in love with you Please don't be afraid Or avoid my gaze For I don't want to see you sad I'll help you along Just please stay strong And remember it's not that bad

His eyes search mine for the hurt he knows is lurking behind them. But my soul is burning bright behind them, shielding my emotions. He follows me out into the rain as I spin my umbrella up and around. The rain giving away a lot more about me, than my dry eyes do. He reassures me with a warm gaze that goes deeper than anyone's has before. My frozen heart warms up around the edges as he makes a promise. A promise that he may never, be able to keep. I offer my hand to him, to show him that everything was ok. His hand was warm, rough and enclosing, my hand tingles from the contact. With one last look I turn away into the night, his eyes
