When The Melody dies

• Words displacing minds like rippling water
• Like a reflection of the time
• Boredom dancing about our heads
• Or maybe then its just me
• A pin drop in a symphony
• Had I dreamed the world
• An orchestra of lights and gases
• Ever-changing always in motion
• I closed my eyes once more
• Listening to the symphony of silence
• Feeling the gentle breeze between my fingers
• And the cool grass as it rustled in the wind
• I woke up
• And the world died

That is the Question...

• Flowers in the morning
• Dewdrops in the light

• Shadows in the mist
• See the birds in flight

• Like a rainbow in the sky
• Love is there to see

• But to take it in your pocket
• Alas that can never be

• Taken from its bush
• With all its dirty lies

• Taken from its bush
• It withers and soon dies

• Love is like a question
• Take it in your hand

• Love is like a question
• Ask it if you can

• Like a figure in the mist
• Is love a shadow in the heart

Rose petals, no more.

• Restless Hearts Beat
• Against Angel Wings

• How Do I Lament
• The Warmth of your Touch

• Where Silken Roses Grow
• Against a Velvet Sky

• Your Lips as Soft as Cherry Blossom
• Your Scent Leaves Me in Daze

• You are the Stars
• Placed Amongst The Heavens

• The Keeper of my Heart
• The Goddess of my Soul

The lone reed

• And the winds bring songs of copper tides,
• To wake the cities lost in sky

• Bodies lost, and bordered lands,
• Voices drowned in blood soaked sand

• To the brine we come to die,
• To the ocean where the fishies fly

• So the army we come to see,
• The puppet strings, the faceless deeds

• The honor given in defence of land,
• But there is none to shake dead mens hands.
