A Question Of Conscience
How can you ever
Leave someone
Who cannot live
Without you?
Look at her eyes
The moment she
Hears the word
Goodbye
Her eyes start
To bleed
Blood.
I cannot kill
Someone with
The use
Of the word goodbye.
I can’t.

We Bleed For Love
We bleed
As we close our eyes
This is our life
We live to die
We bleed
Sugar coated lullabies
Swim in sin
Drown in lies
We bleed
Kiss the sky
And gut America
Watch it bleed
We bleed
The musty smell of corporate
America the cancer causing
Air freshener companies
We bleed
Oil for blood
Blood for oil
9 11 all over again
We bleed
We cry
We live
We die

Your Eyes Look Sad Tonight
Your eyes look sad tonight
They look like theyve been
Crying for a long time
Is it in my mind or is it really true
Can I help someway to make you smile again
And chase your hurt away
Or will it stay
Your eyes look sad tonight
Ive seen that look before
It always means goodbye
Dont say another word
You dont have to stay
Why dont you walk away
Your eyes look sad tonight
Ive seen that look before
It always means goodbye
Dont say another word
Your eyes look sad tonight
Could they have cried for me
Your eyes look sad tonight
Ive seen that look before
It always means goodbye
Dont say another word
You dont have to stay
Why dont you walk away
Your eyes look sad tonight
Ive seen that look before
It always means goodbye
Dont say another word
Your eyes look sad tonight
Could they have cried for me

Nothing To Say
Even when my eyes are open to see,
Even if for the pirates on the sea,
Even if I find they took my key,
I have no word to say.
Even if my heart want me to,
Even if it is the right thing to do so,
Even when I am destined to,
I have no word to say
Even if I am dying for or of it,
Even if I thirst for it,
Even if I shed tears for it,
I have no word to say.
Even if I see you flirting with her,
Even if you take her and fly far off,
Even if I want to object,
I have no word to say
I won't say anything even on my death bed,
Even when you want to kill that infant,
Even if you want to repent,
I have no word to say.

Goodbye
For you
Its all in a day
One day in a life
Its all in the one word
The one word is goodbye
For me
Its all in what you say
Though youve tried to be kind
Its all in the words
From the lips that once touched mine with a sigh
Goodbye
For you
Its all in your face
The laugh and worry lines
Its all in the one word
You hope will make you young again
Goodbye
Its all in the play
Someone speaks the line
Its all in the one word
That stops and steals the time
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
For me
Its all in a day
Its the part in life
When its all in the words
To fate and circumstance resigned
Goodbye

Close Your Eyes
Oh come and take me away
I want to be with you
There's nothing more to say
Could my wish come true
Can you hear me now
I'm screaming it aloud
I wish you'd come somehow
Oh hear me now
I know that you
Have a lot to say
But can you
Pick some other day
To tell me anything but
Right now
Just close your eyes
And don't say a word
Before it's over
Can you
Just close your eyes
For me
Tonight
Just like a bird
You give me wings
Just like a star
You make me sing
It's unbelieveable
What you can do to me
And indescribable
How happy I can be
And I can't go on forever
Without us being together
Right now
Just close your eyes
And don't say a word
Before it's over
Can you
Just close your eyes
For me
Tonight
Right now
Just close your eyes
And don't say a word
Before it's over
Right now
Just hold me tight
And forget everything
Tonight
Right now
Don't think at all
I'll be here when you need me
To catch you when you fall
Right now
Just close your eyes
And don't say a word
Before it's over
Can you
Just close your eyes
For me
Tonight
Right now
Just close your eyes
And don't say a word
Before it's over
Can you
Just close your eyes
For me
Tonight
Right now
Just close your eyes
And don't say a word
Before it's over
Can you
Just close your eyes
For me
Tonight

Today... 'The Word
Word of love and the Word made flesh
Word incarnate forever blessed
Word of life and the Word of light
Word of power and Word of might.
Word that was spoken, Word of the Lord
Word of the Law and the Word of God
Word of peace and Word eternal
Word of truth and last Word of all.
Word of wisdom and the Word of healing
Word from heaven, a Word so appealing
Word fulfilling the Word of prophecy
Word of the Spirit and Word of destiny.
Word of exhortation and Word of grace
Word of encouragement and Word of faith
Word of promise and a Word of insight
Word from the beginning and Word of delight.
Word of knowledge and a Word of boldness
Word of peace and the Word of righteousness
Word of the covenant and Word of love
Word of the Father from heaven above.
(see also the additional information in the Poet's notes box)
The Word
Find the word, understand the word,
Depend on the word;
The word is heaven and space, the word the earth,
The word the universe.
The word is in our ears, the word is on our tongues,
The word the idol.
The word is the holy book, the word is harmony,
The word is music.
The word is magic, the word the Guru.
The word is the body, the word is the spirit, the word is being,
The word Not-being.
The word is man, the word is woman,
The Worshipped Great.
The word is the seen and unseen, the word is the existent
And the non-existent.
Know the word, says Kabir,
The word is All-powerful.
Open Speech
Good friend of mine, you feel with me—
Your blood grows hot by sympathy
With something that I say or do;
Then speak—I want a word from you.
Let not the silence wrap you round
While you are living over-ground.
They say that earthly years are few;
Then speak—I want a word from you.
Perhaps I pass you in the street,
And when our eyes a moment meet,
I wonder are you wishing too;
Then speak—I want a word from you.
Are you, too, longing for a sign,
Yet fear to stretch a hand for mine?
What other am I writing to?
Then speak—I want a word from you.
Some way our thoughts together run,
Since both lift brow toward the sun
Beneath the self-same vault of blue;
Then speak—I want a word from you.

A Word From You
One word
Could make me consumed with guilt
One word
Could light the burden of my heart
So don’t ignore me
Don’t ever hate me
I will do everything
To make you see only me
One word
Could sink me to deepest abyss
One word
Could fly me to heaven
So don’t leave me
Don’t ever disappear from me
It will carve a big hole
If you gone from my eyes
One word
Could clear my suspicion
One word
Could erase it in second
So don’t lie to me
Don’t hide it from me
I will walk in fragile world
When I don’t know which the truth is
One word
Could dropp my guard
One word
Could wake me up
So don’t play with me
Don’t even try to
I will turn a dangerous enemy
Once you decide to deceive me

Hello & Goodbye
Today youre their best friend
But believe me tomorrow
They dont even know your name
Friendship is a word that has lost its meaning
And making friends a funny game
Tell me why, tell me why
Its always been the same
Tell me why, tell me why
Hello and goodbye
They came without warning
They wont leave when you want it
You wish you could beam em away
But when you really need them
They will never appear
And if you ask them they will never stay
Tell me why, tell me why
Its always been the same
Tell me why, tell me why
Hello and goodbye
Hello and goodbye
Its always been the same
Its always been the same
I can see by your eyes
You thought theyll never go
But tell me please where are they now
Remember me boy cause I told you so
But believe me youll get through somehow

This word...
This word is life,
this word is love,
this word is peace and this word makes you live it needs no complications.
So this is a word.
A word thats happines that word that lifts you up
its a word thats against all bad its a word that needs no piracy.
Its forgiving after you corrupted the word

Goodbye's
Mamma
You gave life to me
Turned a baby into a lady
And mamma
All you had to offer
Was the promise of a lifetime of love
Now I know
There is no other
Love like a mother's love for her child
And I know
A love so complete
Someday must leave
Must say goodbye
Goodbye's the saddest word I'll ever hear
Goodbye's the last time I will hold you near
Someday you'll say that word and I will cry
It'll break my heart to hear you say goodbye
Mamma
You gave love to me
Turned a young one into a woman
And mamma
All I ever needed
Was a guarantee of you loving me
'Cause I know
There is no other
Love like a mother's love for her child
And it hurts so
That something so strong
Someday will be gone, must say goodbye
Goodbye's the saddest word I'll ever hear
Goodbye's the last time I will hold you near
Someday you'll say that word and I will cry
It'll break my heart to hear you say goodbye
But the love you give will always live
You'll always be there every time I fall
You offered me the greatest love of all
You take my weakness and you make me strong
And I will always love you 'till forever comes
And when you need me
I'll be there for you always
I'll be there your whole life through
I'll be there this I promise you, mamma
I'll be your beacon through the darkest nights
I'll be the wings that guide your broken flight
I'll be your shelter through the raging storm
And I will love you 'till forever comes
Goodbye's the saddest word I'll ever hear
Goodbye's the last time I will hold you near
Someday you'll say that word and I will cry
It'll break my heart to hear you say goodbye
'Till we meet again...
Until then...
Goodbye

Fundamental of Liar Chapter LVII: Used
There’s no word ‘used’ with loneliness
There’s no word ‘used’ with boredom
There’s no word ‘used’ with pain
There’s no word ‘used’ with rejection
There’s no word ‘used’ with ignorance
There’s no word ‘used’ with guilty
There’s no word ‘used’ with sacrifice
There’s no word ‘used’ with problem
There’s no word ‘used’ with slavery
There’s no word ‘used’ with piracy
There’s no word ‘used’ with power

Unconventional...
it will not start with the usual
hello
well goodbye is another usual word
people use it every moment
sometimes even
permanently convenient
some start it well with a
'tell me the story' or
'tell me the truth and nothing but the truth
then we perhaps
can help you'
others don't. They do not start it all,
you start it, that is their demand
you must be the first one to open up
like a parachute
like a child's inquisitive mind that
always asks about the moon
why it is round
basics, you know
others are unconventional.
no word at all. plain touch, sometimes no touch even.
they pretend they don't mind.
or honestly, they do not mind at all
because they also have their own
battles.
sometimes, i like it this way.
silence. closing of the eyes.
relaxing on a beach king of david thing
letting people have their own choices.
letting events take their own due course.
like a compass pointing to its own direction.
sometimes i want to break the compass.
what is it to be lost and still be strong?
no fears, no hang-ups
no pent up emotions.
back to silence. sea breeze caressing my body.
leaves falling softly on the sand.
waves monotonous on the shore
hypnotic.

Goodbye
Verse1:
Darlin, I was hoping that we could pretend
And make believe that we could still live happily
And start again
Seems like you and i, weve caught up in your world of lies
I kept believing you could start anew
And be a friend
Well Ive got something I wanted to tell you
And its the last thing I wanted to say
But I think I must go there anyway...
Chorus:
Goodbye
How do you say goodbye?
Do I just look you in the eye,
Shake your hand, wish you well
After all this time...
I never wanted for goodbye
Verse2:
Dont let go
I was devoted to your heart and soul
And then we took a turn
And I had to learn
What I tried not to know
Seems like yesterday
Id give the world just to hear you say
A simple whisper of a word or two
Like I love you
Breaks my heart to see it end this way
Chorus
Bridge:
Goodbye
Can it ever be the same?
Goodbye
Did we lose more than we gained?
Theres nowhere to hide
Baby I feel it inside
As my heart cries out your name
Goodbye...

Cycle of Word
When one word drown, one word will raise
When one word vanished, one word will exist
When one word gone, one word will come
When one word finished, one word will show
When one word flies, nothing can take it back
When you talk, I wait like exiting child
The next word my ears will hear
But you keep silent, wandering in your own dream

Goodbye
Tomorrow used to be a day away
Now love is gone and youre into someone far away.
I never thought the day would come
When I would see his hand, not mine,
Holding onto yours because I could not find the time.
Now I cant deny
Nothing lasts forever
I dont want to leave
And I see the tear drops in your eyes
I dont want to live to see the day we say goodbye
Now there comes another part of life that I call alone
Sitting at a bar with chris
And I cant leave cause my house aint no home, no.
I just wanna touch you girl
I wanna feel you close to me
Without your love I would give up now
And walk away so easily.
So maybe while youre young
Well figure out together
That even with the pain, theres a remedy
And well be all right
I dont want to live to see the day we say goodbye.
When I first met you I couldnt love anyone
But you stole my dreams and you made me see
That I can walk under the sun
And I can still be me
And now I cant deny nothing lasts forever.
But I dont want to leave and see the teardrops in your eyes
So baby while were young lets figure out together
That even with the pain theres a remedy
And well be all right.
I dont want to live to see the day we say goodbye,
We say goodbye, oh goodbye, goodbye.
