Found
Lost purpose
Hours on end we scavenge
what is unknown, an itch
a yearning
right place, wrong time
right place, right time
blind
Eyes open, sight beyond sight
lost, found, not to be forgotten
beauty in a dream, nightmare's gone
new vision, approach of reality
beauty finally seen
It happened,
finally found it
that dream

Suicidal Lies
I Said hi when I meant goodbye
It's not a lie, not do I lie, just a rare truth
Is not even that I like it when you cry
Just an uncontrolled smile
You hurt, I create
You suspect, I evade
You react, I sustain
You walk, I reclaim
Left you hanging,
A noose round the neck
A river flow, blood red
Joys torment,
A gentle push
Cliff dive

Vow (The Leap)
If you cry, I'll cry
crocodile tears, my fears
if you lie, I'll believe
try so I may see
show so I may feel
Believe, if not in you and me
in us, take a leap,
faith, feet first
allow me to lead
with a bended knee
You're not ready I know
nobody ever is
but we got this far
let's ride it out
take this leap with me
only if you believe it's real
at the alter forever we meet

Fairytail Memory
Fire flies light up the night sky
beautiful figures dance all so gracefully
that song, that enchanting voice
those words kept me safe
the hugs kept me warm
someone wiped away tears
held me near, dear to their heart
those songs i hear, the songs they sing
can't describe it but the joy it brings
these are the things which live in my memories
these are the things that were once given to me

Vow 3 (Music Lives)
Hey hey my life
the music will live on
it'll never die
I know this to be true
let me tell you why
these ties cannot be severed
it will last the test of time
Spark a positive thought
this music, this song, did more than that
when dead and gone, it wouldn't be forgotten
the music will live
it'll never die
Those three word weren't a lie
all that was sacrifice
so hello wouldn't meet goodbye
hey hey my wife

Beautiful Creatures
The soil which we plant our seeds
beautifully dangerous, remarkable creatures
strangely complicated, a delicate rare breed
shelters, nurturers, the definition of strength and warmth
crazy-sadistic, seductive-angelistic beings
Women, all one of a kind
incredible, intellectual, beyond and between the lines
pain and hardship they endure
apologies that at times we're blind
self-worth, the world is what they deserve

Who Am I?
I am all that is taken for granted
the essence of beauty and destruction
the fall of autumn leaves
lay dormant in winter and bloom in spring
I am the master of terraforming
The infinite colours in and after the rain
I am all that is and that is not inhabited
I am history, earthly, shelter an ageless wonder
I am all that is green on this earth
the wonders of the forest
the cause of natural disasters
I am what you abuse and pollute

Hush Little Baby (Part 2)
I don't believe I'll be ready
as I'm still one myself
so, is it logical to say no
to this work that has now been put to motion
Or prepare to give thanks to life's gift?
Mine refused to terminate
so I choose to do the same
an accidentally on purpose angel
soon to be welcomed.
I can fill the heartache and joy
To hold near and dear to this heart
of mine, hush angel, you're safe
hush little baby, don't you cry
daddy's going to be round
when you open your eyes

Negatively Positive Me
It's a positive that I'm alone with death
by birth we befriended, best friends til life's end
Negatively positive
I'm a positive in a negative mind
an environment refund living like a rebound
never wanted yet not discarded
happiness unconditional, so is my loneliness
suicidal mind's eye in tune to suicide's lies,
wise to the blind side
a smile for my hurt, a tear for my joy
food to fuel the life, hugs to pain's comfort
negatively positive as
I'm a positive in my negative mind

Forgiveness Gain
Don't forget but forgive, because holding on a grudge
or hate is a waste of time and energy.
If you give anger permission to take over,
your only reward will be inflicted pain and sorrow.
Positive your mind, allow love to manifest, to liberate
you from your fears and hatred house of horror
let it fall, unambitious, those fears, let them fall away
like dead leaves from Autumn trees preparing for spring
life is not made to get by, life is made to live
so love and happiness may flourish.
