I often wonder why you wake so slow
Dreaming dense dreams through the undertow...
Are they too real in the deepest narrows?
Or in your mind's garden with the regal sparrows.
Your in no mood for this troubled hue.
Needing new colours for your shade of blue.
I felt the night sky for me and for you.
But i had no choice to take your cue.
Now i wile away days in remorseful sleep.
When you never once felt remorse for me.
So much hindsite filled with regret...
Your face and your voice i'll not soon forget.
The guy you knew faded from view
In your eyes but he longs for you.
Every long day every miscue
The moments we had i've bid adieu.
How do you say i want you to stay
To someone who's running away?
Since she's been gone i've felt astray
Entire being in dissaray.
Truths we'd sworn we're quickly torn.
The softness in your heart is filled with scorn.
Broken mind desperately worn.
Tried to hide, tried not to mourn.

Bridge I Burned
04:05

"Was a long end to a quick run
Now i'm back where i belong.
Clouds still loom under a sunken moon..
But beginning to see the sun.
Still the wonder of knowing i'll never know
Who's heart is now the one..
You long to keep, even when you sleep
That weighs such a ton.
So much time has passed
To view our separate paths.
Did we reach the point of no return?
From the bridge i burned.
All worse for wear to even care
Was the tortoise to your hare.
Days i knew when you withdrew
Was more than i could bare.
So much time has passed
To view our separate paths.
Did we reach the point of no return?
From the bridge i burned.
What could have been will linger
Though it's pressed under your finger.
The more i hope i soon deflate
Knowing all your hate."

Rusholme Lane

"Your exotic flow of pun and allusion
Has left me at odds and in total confusion.
These liberties have shaken and ruined
Foundations built on bitter illusion.
Humming a web of songs never rhymed.
The warmth of your breath still on my mind.
These thoughts in my mouth forever in clouds
Want to come out but should stay in somehow.
I'm sure there were frowns to the ups and the downs.
Nothing less than a foolish hopeless clown.
Humming a web of songs never rhymed.
The warmth of your breath still on my mind.
A lazy stroll down Rusholme Lane.
Remembering kisses in the warm rain.
Blindly fell to a new born beginning
Thoughts we're lost but now was winning
A truer love to the one i was feeling..
Should have felt this heart still beating.
Humming a web of songs never rhymed.
The warmth of your breath still on my mind.
A lazy stroll down Rusholme Lane.
Remembering kisses in the warm rain.

"Why assume i can never tell
When your inner voice cries and swells.
I hear the toll of your righteous bell
That struck so often it finally fell.
Wondering days grow so long
Which was to head to i belong
In your heart when mine's not strong
Or alone here still as i was all along.
Where is the hope...
Words askew in multiple thoughts.
I reason for us, you tend to not.
Remembering words you've forgot
To a difficult future to what i had fought.
I offer no reasons to why i lament
This life without you i cannot relent.
Head in sand, words in cement.
This eternal love could only descend.
There is no hope without strength.
All at what cost, to what length
Do i end up astray..
Or is there another way.
All the rancor she could have mustered
Never eased my lust for here.
All the sighs for her to hear
Never meant that she was near."

Distant Words
04:05
|

|
" I heard distant words in dexterous rhyme.
They weaved and they flowed underneath the noon sky.
Gently they sung and tickled my mind
Left me with visions but little to find.
Now i'm stranded beneath neon night
Embers of phosphorene stars do fright.
Little remorse and little respite.
But flowers still bloom w/ no light.
Busy streets bleed red and white.
Will you stay or hide from sight..
Wit for the sky to burst open wide
Brighten these eyes to whats inside.
Seize the moment to confide
I'll never run, i'll never hide.
Busy streets bleed red and white.
Will you stay or hide from...
Shadow's that once we're your guide.
Shadow's do nothing for your pride.

Make For The Wind
03:18
|

|
Fall burst forth in hysterical woe.
Felt the unnease slip down to my toes.
Ideals struggle, mouth running dry.
I hope this malaise will softly subside.
September resides to long impressions.
Harmonies glide in honeyed remembrance.
Caught a deep breath between a sigh.
Make For The Wind with euphoric strides.
I'll give you my word
As soon as it's found
The curtain closed at dawn.
Cover your face with your auburnt hair.
Eyes transfixed in a dead doll's stare.
Move through time so graceful and true.
Hold inside a poem so blue.
I'll give you my word
As soon as it's found
The curtain closed at dawn's behest.

Fire On The Vine
03:24

"Threw light to the dark but the darkness held firm.
Seeked solace in you but you offered no cure.
Hoped for your heart but it wasn't my turn.
When will i practice what i'm unable to learn.
So much to offer and so much to lose.
Was it ever me that you wanted to choose?
Weakened heart so beaten and bruised.
So many moments i should have diffused.
I said goodbye so many times..
The words are fire on the vine lost in time.
Mornings desperate for you to deny
Our lives had failed to intertwine.
Soft timbred voice incased in my mind
Sent shivers so deep ran right through my spine.
Thought of your lips the colour blush wine.
But your heart and mine failed to align.
I said goodbye so many times..
The words are fire on the vine lost in time.
Mornings desperate for you to deny
Our lives had failed to intertwine.
No longer in the throes of your kiss.
All this time now to reminisce.
Left to wonder what good is to wish
To lighten your life with some sort of bliss"

Ties That Unwind

"A misbegotten forgotten poet
Who drank the wine yet never showed it.
A tempted regretful soul, i never knew ya.
Sit right down before you slip.
At first glance could be the light
But in your fright you sought the night.
Wish for all the nightmares to amuse ya.
Always black and never white.
Wonder why i say goodbye
To every word you speak so kind...
What truth could i do tell?
When the ties will always unwind.
The song is broken, the words are cold.
Cursed tales so very old.
Fresh in mind for you to abuse em.
Now your gone your hand you fold.
Truth is torn left and worn
Always felt yet never sworn.
Softness in your heart hardens through ya.
Pretend to bare an honest care.
Wonder why i say goodbye
To every word you speak so kind...
What truth could i do tell?
When the ties will always unwind.
All the hopes i wish that we had shared
Lay there naked hopeless and bare"
