Conflicted
Alone
Shattered
No home
Buried
Under all my own
Guilt
Screaming
Inside
Living
A lie
Crushed
Under the very walls
I built

empty hands with nothing to hold.
waves crashing against my broken bones.
I gave it a shot,
trying to swim to you.
but you let me drown
in the thought of you.

In that dream of mine, it was there! a sense of reality
The world has yet to know of what is cruelty
Darkest of times, Hour to hour of what I saw
People were in shock, in despair, in grief and in awe

Will-o-wisp, it was in my dream! oh, so many and bright
as far as the eye can see, giving off radiant light
Unite! It whispered to me, in a gentle and light breeze
To the victims, tell them this “hope is at your shoulder”

Give them the “hope” oh so shouted the potter
rejoice! For you are here, while pray for the gone
Off, he shouted again, let us take a moment, then move on
Brighter? oh, it seems its already day
“Hope” was what I learned from that dream, that’s what I would say

Reach out to fly and soar,
This hand shall hold yours,
Hold it tightly and firmly,
In return hold another many

Spread then your wisdom,
Be clever, gentle, not fearsome
Give out a thousand words,
In return, sheathed shall be your sword

Illuminate then the hearts,
Let love take over and start
Make it your priority,
In return no candle will be a single entity

                                                         ­            


 *- Help the kids who couldn't go to school, be it through your hand that can touch, through your wisdom that understands, or through your love that spreads

Soft as a feather
your kiss comes to me
Here ever after
I long it to be
Tight on my lips
so perfect and pure
Yours is the kiss
I've come to adore

Warm as the springtime
your touch I can feel
Holding me close
I know it is real
Constant like tides
caressing the shore
Yours is the touch
I've come to adore

This side of heaven
your love calls my name
Eternal my dream
igniting the flame
A beautiful light
to shine evermore
Yours is the love
I love to adore

Unbroken
the surface
in morning light

lone hawk
pauses in flight

alight on a pale blue sky.

so elegant and strong she seems
as she takes her seat
an aura of calmness surrounds me
the sweet hello from her lips
renders me weak
her intellegent thoughts
humble an ignorant man
yet her vulnerbilities she cannot hide
her words are a guiding lite for all to hear
take them, absorb them, apply them
for she wishes you all the best
I'm honored to call her my friend

When your smile begins to fade,
Princess please remember me.
You are not alone on this treacherous road.
Down the country side we'll go
Leaving trails of marigolds.

If you ever forget me,
Please don't say its easy.
You are not alone on this treacherous road.
Back and forth we must go,
Living life solo.
