Sand...
like grains of sand in a hourglass
Where is your heart now,
dear lost friend?
What great and honorable trust
have you placed in me,
Only to be lost again?
You try so hard,
yet see so little.
You are truly a wonder
that I will never understand.
What time has told you;
you never listen.
Do you believe me now?
Do you understand?
For though I am you,
and you are me,
I've hurt you twice
And I'll do it again.

I sought, but could not see him;
My eyes as dark as light,
clouded with a mist of blue,
but seeing only read.
For fate had me lose him,
though he never left my side.
And fate had me hate him,
though I never loved him more.
But never again could I see him,
yet I could see all else.
For fate had him fade that day,
And i've been searching ever since.

The burden of time,
To heavy to see.
Never knowing what was
and what could be.
Only this moment,
thick, choking, blinding.
No thoughts for the past,
even less for the future.
The decision that could make,
or very possibly break,
The fragility of forever.
1999-2000
HOPE
I saw a girl in the park
and something made me stop;
the way she held herself,
the expression that she had.
I dropped my head unto my hands,
wishing that I was she.
But when she turned her eyes to me,
I was not the least surprised.
I made my clusmy way to her,
and asked "Do you know me?"
"All my life," she replied
as she took my hand in hers.

The Elusive
Knee deep in the warm ocean water
I stare out into the dark.
I have been running; chasing the elusive.
In the gently rising waves
I catch a glimpse of it;
A glint of silver among white foaming waves.
I reach for it, but recoil in fear.
The water is ever against me
And I too frighted to fight it.
So I stand knee deep in the ocean water,
While I watch it wash away.

Gray
White and Black;
Black and White.
Colors washed away,
256 shades of gray.

So this is what it means to live;
this pain we feel inside.
So this is what it means to love;
the bitter tastes in our mouths.
So this is what it means to be;
the lingering tears in your eyes.
