Tower of Silence

Lost in a tower of gloom, I stand
Can see a far off view, but none at hand
A spark does arise, quick to dim
With fleeing breath, I sing a hymn

Hands stretched ahead, I touch the light
Within the second blink, I scream of fright
Words unsaid, your voice I hear
In my heart though, ignites a fear

Eyes seem to lose, a flame once held
Blunt turns the sword, angel weld
Death - destruction, all around
Mist of darkness - tear, I surround

Clouds grow heavy, sun is lost
The cold winds howl, flowers of frost
Long have I waited, for the dawn of spring
As I stand gazing, my hand - the ring

Ever So Deep...

The sun may set, the winter must
Darkness prevail, strength turns to dust
Hearts do bleed, never to sing
Yet does survive, the shine on the ring

A hundred tales, promises made
Holds close to thee, an unstained spade
Words left unsaid, tears do flow
But in our hearts, faith does glow

Tough are the times when the eyes don't see
When the known path, leads away from lee
Drizzle does the rain, hailstorms we feel
And the faintest trace of joy, farces a steal

Hold we must, for what we believe
Tremble though now, morrow relieve
The rising sun, never shall hide
Dawn arise, our dreams reside

Meant together, and we shall be
Smiles and blushes, life of glee
Every vow made, we will keep
Stronger grows our love, ever so deep

The Living Dead

A tiny bleed, ignored at sight
Nothing grave, its taken so light
Slow it flows, makes no noise
All the while, practice the perfect poise

Unaware of the moment, harm was done
Ignore the signs, would rather run
Forget we then, care to take
Instead a smile, we so well fake

Deeper grows, the cut that's made
The knife remains, though the shadow fade
Slowly inching closer still
And yet not making most of the kill

Seems so perverse, the joy it seeks
Pain forged in fire, blood it reeks
Never to stop , never to go
Your heart's your own, friend and foe

Eyes that once shone, summers spark
Now gleam winter, cold and dark
A shadow of what, once was I
Prayer whispered, as I will to die

Please Tell Me This...

A dream I dream, of something real
A word, not necessarily a deal
A promise to hold, and to give
Where for one another, we shall live

If the wind does sweep, off my feet
Shall you hold, else take a beat
Hold me tight, bring me back
Fight the world with no flack

When troubles fare, and I shed a tear
Would you be there, face my every fear
Though you could, would you hide
Else my knight be you, horse to ride

If the future bleak, darkness surround
Give me strength, your arms around
Discard the angst, will a kiss
Oh my love, please tell me this...

A Wish For Us...

Forever, with you in my sight
Together, we take our every flight
Your words, my lips do sing
Since, you slipped the ring

Every step, we now take
A life - ours, we shall make
To grow, in love and trust
To be true, a must

Verses of love, use might we
Still the eye, holds the key
Standing strong, friends we are
Lovers us, watch the star

Bound though, in love true
Abound we, in our very hue
Honor and respect, hold we dear
See our future, so very clear

Hold on...

Do you know who you are,
Do you know whats on your mind,
Are you caught up in a bind
Or is it the truth, thats too far....

............................................................................................................................................................

Old enough girl, to change your name
They say its time now, for another game
But do they even know, whats beneath the smile
Or how your crumbling, under the dreams they pile

All they see, is your wings that flutter
Do they know, there are thoughts you dont utter
Behind every song and every dream that you share
Aware are you , of the underneath snare

With a prayer you take, your every step
Unsure too are you, where to scream for help
Closing your eyes , the hands you once held
Banishment forever, they now have spelled

Hold on do you, hoping for the pretense to end
Else you try, with the mask; self to blend
A little while longer, hold on my dear
For very soon everything it is, that will be clear

Quicquid Opera...

Stretches across the horizon, a colour so true
Magician somewhere above, with his hands he drew
Stunned looks the crowd, wanting to own
If not forever, for a while they want to loan

Joy does it bring, a smile on your lips
If it could be touched, would shout out dibs
Pretty as a picture, painted on the skies
But is it the truth, or just lies

Trail it do all, follow its path
Believing, they do play a part
Happiness is promised, precious treasure at end
But lost are those, who follow this end without a bend

Dreams galore we see, be it light or night
Hopes high we sail, mighty as a kite
Wish we on horses, for them to come true
The reality though there is, far and few

Black or white, now who does draw line
Convince do we, that everything is fine
Words and reasons, all is covered
Towards the mark, steps move forward

Heart made strong, believe they must
Else everything they realise, is but dust
Accept then they do, perks and the quirks
For in the end it is, whatever that works
