Dedicated to..
this one rhyme
is dedicated to this time
to person unknown
to one who has not flown
out of a cage
just like me... me on this page
its to the girl... to the one...
but i lied this battle i have not won...
who
who is this for?
is it to you?
no...no... maybe i should go
not this time... won't stay
unless i stay away...
who is my love devoted to... love...
cage up like a chained dove
who is this to? who is going to let it free who do i love? who?
who are my love songs to.... who is this dedicated to....

VI
The tame bird was in a cage, the free bird was in the forest.
They met when the time came, it was a decree of fate.
The free bird cries, "O my love, let us fly to wood."
The cage bird whispers, "Come hither, let us both live in the
cage."
Says the free bird, "Among bars, where is there room to spread
one's wings?"
"Alas," cries the cage bird, "I should not know where to sit
perched in the sky."
The free bird cries, "My darling, sing the songs of the
woodlands."
The cage bird says, "Sit by my side, I'll teach you the speech of
the learned."
The forest bird cries, "No, ah no! songs can never be taught."
The cage bird says, "Alas for me, I know not the songs of the
woodlands."
Their love is intense with longing, but they never can fly wing
to wing.
Through the bars of the cage they look, and vain is their wish to
know each other.
They flutter their wings in yearning, and sing, "Come closer, my
love!"
The free bird cries, "It cannot be, I fear the closed doors of
the cage."
The cage bird whispers, "Alas, my wings are powerless and dead."

The Tame Bird Was In A Cage
THE tame bird was in a cage, the free bird was in the forest.
They met when the time came, it was a decree of fate.
The free bird cries, 'O my love, let us fly to the wood.'
The cage bird whispers, 'Come hither, let us both live in the cage.'
Says the free bird, 'Among bars, where is there room to spread one's wings?'
'Alas,' cries the caged bird, 'I should not know where to sit perched in the sky.'
The free bird cries, 'My darling, sing the songs of the woodlands.'
The cage bird sings, 'Sit by my side, I'll teach you the speech of the learned.'
The forest bird cries, 'No, ah no! songs can never be taught.'
The cage bird says, 'Alas for me, I know not the songs of the woodlands.'
There love is intense with longing, but they never can fly wing to wing.
Through the bars of the cage they look, and vain is their wish to know each other.
They flutter their wings in yearning, and sing, 'Come closer, my love!'
The free bird cries, 'It cannot be, I fear the closed doors of the cage.'
The cage bird whispers, 'Alas, my wings are powerless and dead.'

The Chronicles of a Dark Heart Part 20 To Start Again
Here we are
once again stuck in the tar
suppressing feelings, fighting myself, and yelling rar rawr RAWR
now i have to get over her
and not be tempted by her allure
I have to destroy feelings of love
cage myself in my prison like a trapped dove
only this time i won't fly
this time i wait until i move on or die
i will put myself back in that cage
this time not building up rage
not gonna turn the page
gonna stay
in conundrum, imbroglio and debacle alike all so fey...
i start this chronicle yet again
as i'm locked in my emotional pen
back to square one nay square negative one
back to where we started, the battle far from won
even back tracked a little and lost some ground
i may not be found
alive though i hope so
brace
yourself
as i write again and write in hast and run my race
(i am free from this)

Once again stuck in the tar
Suppressing feelings, fighting myself, and yelling RAWR!
Now I have to get over her
And not be tempted by her beautiful allure
I have to destroy my feelings of love
Cage myself in my prison like a trapped dove
Only this time I won't fly
This time I wait till I move or die

Gonna stay
In conundrum, imbroglio, and debacle, each equally fey
I start this chronicle yet again
As I'm locked in my emotional pen
Back to square one, nay square negative one
Because in this battle, my deceitful heart has won
Back to where we started... battle far from won
Even backtracked a little and lost some ground
I may not be found-
Alive though I hope so
Brace
Yourself
As I write again write in haste, run at my pace
Run straight into death, in dead sprint, because the end of race
Gets closer the faster I run

What she should hear everyday
Not a day i would ever miss
when i say i love you
not a kiss i would ever wait
to tell her i love her
sometimes i don't know why
but i never let a day pass by
to tell my girl i love her
never would i let the day slide away
to tell my girl i love her
Not a night i would ever forget
when i say i love you
before every seasons sunset
i tell my girl i love her
not a day passes away
unless i tell my girl i love her
when her soft eyes drip with tears
i console those waiting ears
by telling her i will always love her
I love you now
i love you today
i will love you tomorrow
and i am here to stay
because i love you
and know you love me
and through the ballad of time
you will always be
the one i love
the one i cherish
I love her
i tell my girl i love her
i tell her everyday

Our Bird In Your Cage
we have this bird
we both own it and love it and care for it
our bird
and you have this cage
that you only own
golden, new and strong and as you say it
so reliable
that when our bird is in that cage
it will be safe
and cannot escape
we feed this bird together
and give it water and birdseeds
and a place of twigs and swing
where the bird can play
and perch upon
like it is on a tree
days and years
we keep this bird in your cage
and we see it is dying
and wanting to be free
yet you say, this sickness is just temporary
time heals what has wounded it
and shall forget the power of its wings
days and more years
we keep this bird in your cage
and i have not listened at all
to the sad song of that bird
her waning chirps
her weakened wings
her way of losing hold to the dreams of its wings
today we see this bird is dead
but you have no sadness at all
you say, you will buy another bird
again to be kept in your cage
i could have told you
i am the bird in your cage and i too have forgotten the power of
my wings
i could have told you, i have long died
and have forgotten what freedom is, what love is, what i am
in the first place. How can i ever tell you?
you are my cage.

My Love
My Love,
hello there. it's me, your other half here.
so, there's something that you need to know.
you already know that i love you my dear
but do you know that wherever you go
if you want me there, i'll come with you
and if you don't then i'll stay here
but my love will stay true
and though i'll shed my tears
my love will follow you wherever you go
for you are my love
the only one that means so much to me
that you could only be sent from above
so, you now know only half of how deep my love could be.
and i hope you know that even when i'm not there
that my love is,
and baby i swear
the next time i see you, that i will kiss
you until the sun comes back up again
and i will never let go of this
person that is the yang to my yin.
cuz love, all that you are
has captured my heart
i love you,
Your Everything

Magic And Loss - The Summation
Love is here, here to stay, love is here, here to stay
It gets proven every day, love is here, here to stay
They both love Chinese food, he hates to dress
He loves to play pinball, she wants to play next
She likes her novels long, he's into comic books
They're gilt-edged polymorphous urban but somehow it works
Love is here, here to stay, love is here, here to stay
It gets proven every day, love is here, here to stay
She likes Truman Capote, he likes Gore Vidal
He likes Edgar Allan Poe, she's into Mean Joe Greene
She thinks eating meat's disgusting, he likes hot dogs
She's into Gestalt therapy, while est and the vest just make him ill
but love is here to stay
Love is here, here to stay, love is here, here to stay
It gets proven every day, love is here, here to stay
Love is here, here to stay, love is here, here to stay
It gets proven every day, love is here, here to stay

Every day our love grows stronger
Everytime I see you

Tell me your love will always be here for me
I need your love dont ever take it away
Tell me with me is where youll always stay
[2] - you are so special to me
I need you here with me
Someone to love me always
Im in love with you
You are so special to me
Why dont you stay with me
So we can be together
Im in love with you
Never was a love before me
No one else compares to you
No one does the things you do
To make me feel the way I do
Every time I see your pretty face
It makes me love you more
All this time I looked for love
And now it is knocking at my door.
[repeat 1]
[repeat 2]
You mean the world to me
And youre more special
Than you think
Baby you must believe
That I love you so
[repeat 2 until fade]

Stay with me for awhile
I love the way you laugh,
I love the way you smile.
I wish that you could come,
and stay for more than awhile.
There is so much I have to say,
so much I want to do.
So much I want to tell you,
like the three words I love you.
Do you know that I'm in love,
with the person that I see?
The person who's in hiding,
the person right next to me.
I love you oh so much,
How is it you can't tell?
Do you know what it's like,
to seek the person for whom you've fell?
-I know I love you,
but to me I doubt you feel the same.
Is it really true,
that love and life are like a game?
I wish that things were different,
and you and I could be,
but I dare not ask too much,
so your choices are all free.
Mean Girl
Im in love with mean girl

Bum luck will you ever know

Im not in love with you

Time Is On Our Side
Girl, theres more to love than meets the eye,
Girl, theres more to what I feel inside.
And if I told you, would you be my girl, for you Id travel round the world.
Time is on our side, girl, youre my one true love, girl,
Weve come too far to ever be just friends.
Time is on our side, girl, lets show the whole world,
Love is the answer and time is our closest friend.
If I sent you flowers, would you walk away,
Or would it be enough to make you stay?
Even though were young, girl, one things for sure,
In time our love will endure.
Time is ...
Babe, what would you say, time brings us closer every day.
Time is ...

Oh Girl (I Wanna Be With You)
Do do do do
Do do do do
Away for a long time but never gone
So many good times that I recall
Forgive me that I've been kind of blind
I've been running away most of my life
Girl, I wanna be with you
It's no one else it's only you
Oh, girl I wanna stay with you
With no one else just with you
I was lost for a long time couldn't find myself
The cry for love was the cry for help
Forgive me that I've been so untrue
The one who saved me's been always you (yeah)
Girl, I wanna be with you
It's no one else it's only you
Oh, girl I wanna stay with you
With no one else just with you
With no one else just with you
Life's been dancin' on a razorblade
I had my share of love and hate
Well,after all I found myself
Cause it's you who makes me live
It's only you who can forgive
Away for a long time but never gone
Sometimes life just takes the long way home
You're still the one I'm dreamin' of
Cause when your heart is talkin' you know it's love
Oh, girl, I wanna be with you
It's no one else it's only you
Oh, girl I wanna stay with you
With no one else just with you
Oh, girl, I wanna be with you
It's no one else it's only you
Oh, girl I wanna stay with you

A Bird Story, The Hint...
watching you in full beauty
is an attempt of my hand to set myself free
i have the key and the door is not locked
there is no use for the key even
no one is locking me in and i am always
free at any time of the day to go
and be the wings of the bird that
my mind imagines every hour of the
waking day
there was once a bird captured by an enemy
put inside a cage and well feed
and well attended
it sings of freedom and love and beauty
in one sad song
the enemy decides to open the cage to set it free
the bird doubts this time
the enemy has become a loyal friend
the cage has become its sweetest home
the words are the same as arranged in that desired ending
ah, they all live happily ever after....

Stay Away
You gave me too many chances, now its drivin us apart
I keep on runnin with the boys, girl, but then you knew that from the start
It must keep building up inside you, cause you never let it show
I know Im hanging on the edge now, but I wont let go
I never meant to hurt you, but something was on my mind
Just give me one more chance, we can make it this time
Stay away, stay away from my heart - bet Im trying my best
Stay away, stay away from my heart
If you gave me three wishes, Id throw two of them away
Ive seen that look in your eye girl, Id use the last one this way
Weve been from rags to riches, but your love cant be bought
Im just a junkyard dog, girl, whos afraid hes been caught
Youre standing in the shadows, watching everything that I do
And I know the way things must look, it couldnt be further from the truth
Stay away, stay away from my heart - Im doing all that I can
Stay away, stay away from my heart
Remember how it used to be girl, makin love like its the last time
We held each other close, not knowing what wed found
You felt the pounding of my thunder, as your rain was pouring down
(instrumental break)
I never meant to hurt you, but something was on my mind
Just give me one more chance, we can make it this time
Stay away, stay away from my heart - yeah, but I wanna stay here with you
Stay away, stay away from my heart - yeah, Im doing all I can do
Stay away, stay away from my heart - but I wanna stay away from you
Stay away, stay away from my heart...

Beautiful Bird
You say that I am beautiful, but you have
Me locked up in this cage, every time I sing
My voice is full of rage.
If you truly loved me you would let me go
But you keep me locked up for all your friends to show.
I am not a show bird for you to put on display
I am a free spirit, and I have to go my way.
how can you keep me, when I don’t want to stay.
Open up this door and let me fly away.
You also are a beautiful bird and that I can see
So why don’t you join me and we both will be free.
Two free spirits flying high in the sky
singing songs of love as we go flying by.
Let the world see us soaring like eagles
High above the ground
We are so much in love that
you can not hear our sounds.
We are the beautiful birds that
Touch the human soul
We are the wonders that forever
You want to hold.

Be? open the book and then take one mad look back.

The Flightless Bird
Slavery was the nature, caged within,
Seeing the sun rays penetrate it wonders,
Upon which strategy shall I escape this cage,
Upon which wisdom shall I,
See the sun and not the rays,
The bird with fluffy feathers did ponder,
Unto its master it cried,
Brought food but it seeked freedom,
To cage the bird was love he claimed,
To be caged, such love was hate it pondered,
Caged without hope, the flightless bird
Such freedom was vain for the bird,
That prison cell used to be a shelter,
To be loved, in a different way,
Engulfing itself in its loose wings,
Dreaming things it never saw,
Seeing life it never experienced,
Searching peace which it never had,
To rest in that moment of anguish,
The master said to cage is to love,
The bird cried to cage is to slave
My thoughts were painted all over,
Looking there, she might just cove over,
Feeling the passion when she came closer,
Will she ever set me free, in this cage I suffer
Unto to me is like a flightless bird,
Caged in vacuum I feel so bad,
To love me you ought to think instead,
To leave me you ought to think you had
The more the sky is seen,
The more the ray come unto my sight,
The more you hold the cage,
The more I desire a rescue,
Unto that day shall I wait,
To fly and see the sky and the sun
