A Taste Of Emptiness

Idle within emptiness
Disappointment fills the air
A chilling wind of harshness
Sweeping seasons of despair...

Fingernails bitter purple
A tousle of shredded hair
Weakened limbs and fragile nerves
Dreams strangled to disrepair...

How long 'till the sun comes out?
Forever must still be there
Without the light all things fade
Darkness makes them disappear....

A burning torch within me
Faith, the everlasting flair
Scorching both sense and reason
Too blind to show heaven near...

Feeling Hollowed

Idle within emptiness
Disappointment fills the air
A chilling wind of harshness
Sweeping seasons of despair...

Fingernails bitter purple
A tousle of shredded hair
Weakened limbs and fragile nerves
Dreams strangled to disrepair...

How long 'till the sun comes out?
Forever must still be there
Without the light all things fade
Darkness makes them disappear....

A burning torch within me
Faith, the everlasting flair
Scorching both sense and reason
Too blind to show heaven near...

Written In Aid Of The Leicester Lunatic Asylum.

Light ye the torch,--
The torch that hath expired;
The light with which was fired
Chamber and hall and porch:
But now the house is dark,
Its inmates rove in vain,
There shines but a bewildering spark:
Light ye the torch again!

Light ye the torch,--
It was a sacred flame,
From God in heaven it came:
All nature ye may search
To find a fire so bright,
And ye shall search in vain:
But quenched is all its glorious light:--
Light ye the torch again!

Light ye the torch,--
The ruthless winds have blown
Its tresses up and down,
Till it did scare and scorch,
Not bless: but one fell blast
Swept howling o'er the plain,
And left all darkness as it past;--
Light ye the torch again!

Light ye the torch,--
And ye shall blessed be:
Till many a bended knee
In chamber and in church
Shall serve ye: merciful,
Mercy ye shall obtain:
Your cup of glory shall be full:--
Light ye the torch again!

Observation

A candle burning is only wax,
Melting down to what it was
Before it entered a candle mold
Where do drips of substance go?

Air is thinner than sundry things
Into which are vanishing-
Somewhere else
Must be realer than here
Where things go
Than disappear...

Despair Is Darkness

DESPAIR IS DARKNESS

Despair is darkness-
Despair is death inside and death in the world and death in one’s own sad soul-
Despair is no way out -
Despair is the place where one is forever stuck -
Despair is the realization that one has done what one could – and one is not going anywhere else-
Despair is the admission of failure-
Despair is no sign of help anywhere around-
Despair is so much lost-
Despair is one‘s life is over-
Despair is regret-
Despair is the sense that one will never have the time to have another chance -
Despair is ‘it’s finished’-
Despair is no way out-
Despair is going down and more down and more dark and more afraid all the time -
Despair is the scream which hurts and does not stop the hurting -
Despair is the understanding that even Death will not save one -
Despair is that the pain will never end-not even with death.
Despair is no way out again and again and again- without end.

Give me the reason to live

My mind could be filled with doubt
My heart could waver with despair
But my fate still face ahead

My hair may turn to grey
My body may be weakened
But my words would echo through the time

Give me the strength
Because I'm not strong enough
Give me the hope
Because I don't have any

Give me the love
So I feel safe and warm
Give me the light
So I can walk forward

My dream may be tainted with fear
My world may be painted in darkness
But my life still going on

My burden could be weighted my shoulder
My guilt could consume my will
But my faith would find the sun

Give me the strength
Before I run away
Give me the hope
Before I completely disappear

Give me the love
Even if it will be gone
Give me the light
Even if it is the end

But Don't Despair

Despair, if you must –
But how's it going to pull you through?
Despair, when you trust
Naught since then there's naught to do.
Despair, should you thrust
Aside your pride, your self-esteem.
And so despair, if it's dust,
The only substance that you deem.
Despair, when a gust
Of slightly breeze can break your stance.
And do despair, when lust
Is your interpretation of romance.

But don't despair, if you can care
About the plight of any other being.
And you can focus on the help,
Support, and altruistic further actions
For the seeing. Be believing,
As despair will start receding
All around – simply since you found
A way to steer you clear
From this: the very cause of your despair!

So give to others; give them all a helping lift:
Despair, you'll find will disappear –
And that has got to be a well-deserved
And saintly gift!

Rain of despair

despair despair despair despair despair despair despair
despair despair despair despair despair despair despair
despair despair despair despair despair despair despair
despair despair despair despair despair despair despair
despair despair despair despair despair despair despair
despair despair despair despair despair despair despair
despair despair despair despair despair despair despair

Hidden Sun

In dreams...
eyes Willing
to look upon
the green tattoo
The sun on thy head.

I have named you
with blind faith
my hearts desire.
This sun I seek
Remains hidden
by night's black hair.

Unfortunate my journey...
Unending dream
Waiting
longing...
Just a single gust of wind
come blow thy blacken hair
and show the sun...

Now comes the true sun
and my eyes are open...
And that I greatly desired
One look upon that sun
will be forever hidden
in the clouds of my dreams.

Live & Breathe

Ive been waiting for the sky to clear,
To get me out of here
Get me on my way and go
Ive been waiting for a sign to appear
To show me the way to a place Ive never known
All I have are my dreams....
Your love and blind faith
There... in the sky spins a wheel,
Its giving me the feelin that my dream
Came true today
Chorus:
Theres a place... where we two can be together
Once the clouds are gone well both move on
In search of all weve dreamed
Therell come a day...
Blue skies endless and forever
Well, that time has come
Ive found the sun in you, I live and breathe
From the moment that I close my eyes,
Feel the sun it rise,
Hear it echo through my soul
For the first time in this young mans life,
Makes me feel alive
Fills my heart and makes me stronger
All I have are my dreams...
Your love and blind faith
There in the sky spins a wheel,
Its givin me the feeling
That my dream came true today
Repeat chorus
Someplace closer to both our hearts
Somewhere further than where we are
Just as long as theres hope enough
Long as I live and breathe
Repeat chorus
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...

Write Me

Aerosmith
Write Me
Well I've been away forever, suicide's crossin' my mind,
But I'll never never never never never get so far behind.
I said, the ways of the night are evil with eyes that love the day,
but I'll never never never never never get so far away.
I said write me, write me, write me.
I said write me, write me, write me.
Well there's nothin' I can see that'd ever make
me want to be without her she's good, she's good to me.
Said there's no way to explain the kind of feeling
that you get out in the rain she's good, she's good to me.
See this emptiness inside it makes me scream
it make me crawl out of my high, she's good, she's good to me.
I love her.
Write me a letter, write me a letter, write it today, I'm goin' away.
Well I've been away forever, suicide's crossin' my mind,
But I'll never never never never never get so far behind.
Well I've been so many places hidin' from the wind and the rain,
But you could write me a letter for to save me from a goin' insane.
I said write me, write, write, write me.
Write me, write, write, write me.
Write me, write, write, write.
I said write me, write, write, write me.
Write me, write, write, write me.
Don't write me baby.

The Cinematic

It's a strange task to put something down in ink
The things worth saying
Are the things that can't be said- I think
The songs that mean something to sing
Are beyond words above language
The kind you can't directly engage
All this to say what I now say
Is worth saying, worth it to me

When I write a movie script
There's something about me
That becomes
Invested
Inserted
Infused
Into my characters, it's a feeling that is foreign
For I feel what they feel and not what I fell
And yet their person flows from who I am, closer than kin
Simultaneously their emotions are born of mine
As their emotions are born in me.
It's not quite as if I see what they see
And yet they are me, more than just a sign
Of something I feel, something I thought
They're a piece of myself that I brought
To fictional life with words that don't
Describe all that they are, nor all I am
Sometimes it feels like their identity hits me, unplanned
But then there's the sense it was always there
Was always here
Was always me-

Some characters scare me
Are they all pieces of myself?
Are they all mine? If they're mine are they me?
Do I have that darkness? Their darkness?
That light? Their light?
That hope? Their hope?
That despair? Their despair?
That love? Their love?
That hate? Their hate?
Is everyone so attached to their characters?
I feel their pain it makes me cry
I cry real tears in fake dreams
Fake stories with fake screams
If it's all so fake, then why?
So close, so near, and when they die...
Do I lose them? Do they live forever
Without ever living or do they die and
Pass away? Am I allowed to wonder such things, allowed to ponder?
One thing I know
Every characters I make I feel
And in each script there's always one, always one much like me
Am I self-focused or simply too attached?
Even as they breathe I breathe
As their story I weave
They weave mine
The beautiful irony wherein they write or influence my life
As I write theirs
So what do they feel about me?
How do we interact? Am I free?
They seem to have influence, seem to exist
Theirs is not a power I think to resist
So I'm left with question
That they're asking
That I'm asking

What are we to us?

Pray

So here we stand again
Like dust on mother earth
And we hide our faces in our dreams

Only emptiness where angels flew - high on golden wings
And the voice of god has vanished now - lost inside our dreams
But the only way to go is heaven

All we can do is pray
In the darkness we stand with the world in our hands
And we pray
For a better tomorrow
We wait

Far beyond the horizon
There's a sound in the sky
The voice of glory I hear a silent cry
When the heroes of yesterday are gone

All we can do is pray
In the darkness we hide and we wait for the light
And we pray
Oh we pray
Let us pray

I've seen the darkside of the moon in my dreams
Now I know it ain't a place to live for us all
All our gods creation is dead an gone
Now we stand like children all alone forever

All we can do is pray
Forever and forever and forever more
For a better tomorrow - we wait

Pray
There's a light in the dark
And it's shining so bright on our way
Still there is hope on our way
And we pray
Oh

I Love You Just Enough

A restless fever
Burning like a torch in your eyes…
My aching heart can feel
The desperate need you try to hide..
A part of you is longing
To be free from me, I know…
And even when my cries,
I come to realize:
That I love You
Just enough to let you go…

I can't stand to see
You searching for the words
To tell me gently, what went through…
If one of us must suffer,
It will give me
The satisfaction just to know,
That I was the one to ease your pain,
By saying what you want to hear: Bye!
I love you just enough, to let you go…
I love you just enough, to let you go…

Why should I go through the motion
Of pretending everything is fine,
Just holding off on letting you go
To satisfy myself until now?
I have been clinging to a hope
That is dying slowly…
I never came through my mind
That I was the one to say goodbye…
And this time forever!

Somethings Burning, Baby

Something is burning, baby, are you aware?
Something is the matter, baby, theres smoke in your hair
Are you still my friend, baby, show me a sign
Is the love in your heart for me turning blind?
Youve been avoiding the main streets for a long, long while
The truth that Im seeking is in your missing file
Whats your position, baby, whats going on?
Why is the light in your eyes nearly gone?
I know everything about this place, or so it seems
Am I know longer a part of your plans or your dreams?
Well, it is so obvious that something has changed
Whats happening baby to make you act so strange?
Something is burning, baby, heres what I say
Even the bloodhounds of london couldnt find you today
I see the shadow of a man, baby, makin you blue
Who is he, baby, and whats he to you?
Weve reached the edge of the road, baby, where the pasture begins
Where charity is supposed to cover up a multitude of sins
But where do you live, baby, and where is the light?
Why are your eyes just staring off in the night?
I can feel it in the night, in the night, in the night, when I think of you
I can feel it in the light, in the light, in the light, and its got to be true
You cant live by bread alone, you wont be satisfied
You cant roll away the stone if your hands are tied
Got to start someplace baby, can you explain?
Please dont fade away on me baby, like the midnight train
Answer me baby, a casual look will do
Just what in the world has come over you?
I can feel it in the wind, in the wind, in the wind, and its upside down
I can feel it in the dust as I get of the bus on the outskirts of town
Ive had the mexico city blues since the last hairpin curve
I dont wanna see you bleed, I know what you need and it aint what you deserve.
Something is burning, baby, somethings in flames
Theres a man going round calling names
Ring down when your ready, baby, Im waiting for you
I believe in the impossible, you know that I do.

More Out Of It Than In and Under Spotlight

I never intended to master subservience.
And respect I find difficult to give,
To anyone incompetent.
That makes little sense to me.

I know the difference between child's play,
Work and having relaxing fun...
Doing nothing at all but chilling out!
Without one concern to worry about.

I feel freer than many who are attached to things,
With such an obedience to keep them.
As if those 'things' were limbs extended.
To express a level of achievement.

And the more I pursue dreams,
With a wish to fulfill each one.
I find I have become more strict and limited,
Than those who speak of their conservative ideologies.

And that is a frightening premise,
Coming from one who claims to be a nonconformist...
In appearance.
As not to conflict with a given physical image.

Hey...
It is all showbiz.
Busy giving show!
And being serious about life,
More out of it than in and under spotlight.

Insecurity

Sometimes I sit here and think
That all this will disappear if I so much as blink
Maybe I'm paranoid; you know I think this is something we should avoid
But I know that neither of will be able to sleep annoyed

You let me slip into a sense of security
Let me believe this sense of insecurity will fade with maturity
But I still fear after all these years that you hold most power
And I'm just an accessory, a fragile little flower

So maybe yes, I do these little things to test you
Pushing my boundaries to discover something new
And I know you knew about my challenging past
Just another reason for me to believe you've found better at last

I know they tell me I shouldn't let my shadow haunt me
But I fear that if I let my shadow go I'll be vulnerable for them to see
And I won't let my memories repeat even if it leaves me alone
I won't take another's future just so I can call you my home

What Drives You To The End

tears of pain and sorrow continue to fall for what seems forever
no hope of light or happiness can be seen in the distance
only the endless cutting into the heart till it is split open
little possibility of removing the cold sharp knife that cuts on
then light starts forming cracks in the endless tunnel walls
only enough light to leak hope into the dark soul but
not enough to light the tunnel so that it's possible for sight
more and more light leaks into the soal and the pain disapates
warmth and happines fills the body and soal till nothing else matters
then the shadows sneak up while there is nothing blocking it anymore
evil and darkness surrounds the light and blocks it from the sole
the light withdraws back into the cracks and leaves only darkness
darkness that fills the soal and rips up all that is good and continues
the endless dripping pain the pain that reveals that the dark tunnel will
continue on forever a choice is made and the knife is thrust deeper till
all is still and the bleeding stops all together all of it stops forever

Trapped In Despair

I was placed in sadness
I was placed in darkness
I was placed in fear
Trapped in a place called despair
Despair is cold
Despair is unkind
Despair he lingers all the time
You find yourself clinging to the light
Just praying for that light
Please light save me for I am…trapped in despair
Then you see the light and it turns to your eyes
it turns to your smile
at the sound of your angelic voice…
the place grows warm
all fear flees
the light that is your eyes fills this place the darkness is chased away
My sadness has vanished
You extend a firm hand and rip me from despair
You wrap your arms around me and whisper in my ear…
Never again will you be…trapped in despair.

Dreaming Of Summer

*
Woke up on a manchester morning
No sun up on the sky
Caught the train down to london
So broke I could make you cry
When you get right down to it
Theres really nothing in it
I got a copy of the evening paper
If theres a job I will apply
The dhs says its now or never
This is a case of do or die
When it comes right down to it
Ive got to struggle through it
**
Put the lights way down low
Come closer
Tell me heroes dont fade away, theyre forever
Just a little bit of something
Just a little bit of real
Tell me heroes dont fade away, become a memory
So come on darling now
I still need to know
Are we gonna fade away or stay forever
Took a walk down to soho
Ive got t.v. on my mind
It says these days you have it easy
Oh lord, I must be blind
When it comes right down to it
I can see right on through it
I really love my old lady
Much more grief she cant take
Wish I could take her somewhere fancy
I still need that lucky break
When it comes right down to it
Theres really nothing in it
Repeat **
And Im dreaming of summer
Of just me and you now
But a love with no money
How long will it ring true
One big city smells like another
I get lost in this maze
When I get home should I lie
The bottles gone Im in a daze
When it comes right down to it
Ive got to struggle through it
Things look bleak out of this window
Sometimes I wanna run away
And the light fades down this tunnel
It merges into another day
Repeat *
