I took for granted everything,

colors of every hue.

I didn’t know those colors

filled my world because of you.

So, like the fool I am

I let you go, too blind to see

that on my own I am just alone

and things turned out to be

where colors slowly slipped away,

the yellows, greens and blues.

And now the only color left…

is the memory of you.

Two days until Christmas.

Two hours until light.

Too often you fill up

my dreams in the night.

Too tired to keep going.

Too weak to move on.

Two lovers divided…

in one love gone all wrong.

His love for her was strong but still,

a longing in his soul

took him to where he could be free,

but ocean’s take their toll.

He never did return

although she waited faithfully.

Day and night she sat there watching,

hoping she would see.

She prayed that his ship would return

but fate will have its way.

She waited til her time was spent,

until her hairs ...

The torn remain

of what was plain

waves now ore frozen ground,

in winds that blow

cold ice and snow

and other feelings down.

There isn’t much

left in a touch

to calm the trembling hand.

For winter’s chill

falls colder still

in cloak across the land.

The settled dust

and cankered rust

guard safe against the grain,

while fading dim

from deep ...

There’s a heart that beats

and a clock that chimes.

Moments pass as they both keep time.

Opportunities lost again.

Words don’t flow from an idle pen.

Deeds don’t come from an idle hand.

Seeds won’t grow in a barren land.

Something stalks me, something’s there.

Something haunts my every prayer.

Aggravation, life slips by.

Desperation, sleepless nights.

Sailed an ocean just to reach you,
passed through a hurricane or two,
hit land to find a ring upon your hand.
I was almost there for you.

Crossed a continent to find you,
every hardship I passed through,
at ocean’s rim you were there with him.
I was almost there for you.

Does it pay to lay your heart on the line,
or believe that true love’s true?
Now I spend my time traveling on, I’m...

The piece that is missing

is the piece of my heart

that I threw like a stone

when our love fell apart.

Without looking I threw it

as far as I could.

Now I’m stuck with the fact…

that I’ve lost it for good.

It’s finally the day to come,

blood mixing in.

Flows like a river

through oceans of sin.

Long past the point

where the numbness was new.

Long past believing

that anything’s true.

Steel against flint,

only flash in this night.

Desperate to see

but it only ignites,

the gasoline soaked

twisted rags in my soul.

No way to stop it

and nowhere t...
