Sipping ice-lemon tea whilst
People watching....
Regardless of time
I float almost into a reverie
Not of dream but
Gently listening to the songs of the skylarks.

I was never the type
of child that obeyed
much  of anything;
not even the many
times  I was told
not to stare into
the evening sun
when I felt
alone.

When we don't live with caution,
We live in vain,
When we stray with Anguish we pay in coins,
We didn't mean it off words,
We only played with our silence.


I really can't blame you even do its my fault,
I ran all through while you walked,
When you fell I didn't notice,
Less you voice was speechless,
Walk oh priest of evaluating valour,

For thy blame would save me less I fall

The end is the best moment to quit,
The way I leave the podium,
I leave in your ovation,
I invaded the joy off all hearts,

What are you looking at?
I smiled all the way,
I did walk down the plague,
How did you know I won,
How did you wish it was you.


I have a face for judges,
This isn't your auditorium,
This isn't your moment,
Low your pride and be like me,
For who hid himself in the face of war,
Sang the song of a " Victor no Vanquish"
I did believe you stood by me when truly you left because my dreams ran you over..
I leave your good conscience if it still exist with a brush of icing..
I wish I stood for all but surely they didn't want the truth...
I played the game to your advantage.. Yes I tasted victory... you had no choice but to let me lead while you follow

What can I do without you,
Where is my life's pride,
Will you call,
Will you stare,
Will I lay arms to the ground,


I need the stars,
As I can't keep you for myself,
I wouldn't last for am frost,
I leave in a bloom summer,
I pour my tears when you leave,


Be cold and smooth as the peace of love,
Be calm and lost like the heart of the raven,
I am in love with you,
I lean on your soft rose,
I wouldn't wilder away if you smile..
