Song

A woman's song called out to me,
And asked, "How have you been?
What drives your heart? What love you most?
What treasures have you seen?"

I turned around, and tried to say,
"My path is clearly set.
I know my heart and what I want,
I have not one regret.

But she would not accept this lie,
And sang to draw me close to her.
My feet moved of their own free will,
I'd never felt such love before.

I heard the meaning of my life,
Spelled out in words I could not understand.
Her voice required more of me,
And I could not refuse her this demand.

For she had shown me something,
Few have ever seen.
My muse had come to life,
Before my eyes- I saw my dream.

Train

This speeding train that carries me away,
Can't carry me away from you for long.
For I shall take another train today,
And it will be as if I'd never gone.

Inside My Head

You enter my mind,
And make my head your playground.
What will you find?
What are you searching for?

And as you run around,
I stumble, walking into walls.
Please tell me that you've found,
What you were looking for.

Inside my head, inside my thoughts,
You gently poke and confuse.
I'm feeling sore, but I cannot,
Evict a playful muse.

Memory

We met in the dark,
Of a day that has passed.
And now we've forgotten,
What we thought would last.

Your voice I remember,
And the fire still burns.
To relive once that memory,
My heart, still yearns.

This Time I'll Change

Death comes quickly to his past,
When he decides to change his ways.
But it comes back again at last,
As his mind wanders when he plays.

"A harmless way to pass the time,"
He thinks as he logs in again.
"I can stop anytime I want,
After all, it's just a game."

But as the night, passes to day,
He is exactly where he was.
And as he fails to change his ways,
He's always blind to the cause.

Apple

Take this apple that I've grown,
My love, for you, and you alone.
I picked it from my apple tree,
Which you can always come and see.

Nostalgia

Upon your throne you sit and dream,
Of days gone by, and days that seem,
To last forever in your mind,
But which again, you cannot find.

You reminisce, of days gone past,
That you had always thought would last.
But all they do is hold you back,
Your mind is stuck, on what you lack.

So leave behind the things you've lost,
And take in hand what you love most.
Nostalgia has a hefty price,
And is indeed a vicious vice.

Together

Though you may have lost your way,
And know not where to go.
The only thing that I can say,
Is that I love you still.

And though you might not come back home,
And though you might be changed,
I will not let you be alone.
Whether for good or ill.

Crescent

The moon takes a cue from your smile,
And smiles in turn, a crescent in the night.
All the world is entranced for a while,
Though they look at the moon,
They see you, in the light.

Sea of Music

You softly strummed the strings of your guitar,
I turned and listened to your melody,
And when you sang with perfect harmony,
I felt that I was near, though I was far.

I took a step ahead unconsciously,
And revelled in the sound of every note,
The flow of music keeping me afloat,
Though I had long since drowned within your sea.
