Unspoken

I think it’s obvious to everyone else but you,
Making it harder to let u know of what I feel.
Even as I allow myself to get mesmerized in your gaze,
Still I find no solitude,
as all that I am yearns nothing else but to speak.

To speak in words where no words have gone,
A language spoken in simple silence.
And yet as I try to break away from my stupor,
I’m left utterly dumbstruck
For in your eyes, I’m simply lost.

I lose all control and fall into a downward spiral.
All poise and grace thrown out the window.
But even amidst the chaos, I remain stoic.
I hide not only the confusion in me,
But I hide my truest desire…

All I know and all that I am point to one singular fact
That somehow someway, whenever however
I would want nothing else more,
Than to experience life with you by my side.
Nothing else seems so clear as that.

Change

Days of woe and grief go by,
Wreaking havoc as people die.
Tainted blood shed for thirst,
Twisted souls led to darkness first.
Clamors of pain pierce the night,
As hell releases all its might.
Tears unseen wept to bleed,
Soon the dark would lack in need.
Masks of deceit worn to seek truth,
Ends of darkness, false lies will soothe
The mind is hungry for truth, the heart for love
Winds of change thus frees the dove…

Release

Her eyes weakened by age,
Her health slowly waning away.
Seeing no more than shadows,
We fear of losing her day after day.
She moans in agony,
To try to soothe the pain
But to no avail, she suffers tacitly
Our pity in vain
Sleep becomes a friend in this painful world
As consciousness brings all of hell unfurled.
No more do we wish that she bounce back
In this pitiful state where peace she lacks.
Now death looms while we wait,
In hope for her peace.
No longer a loss of life,
But from pain, it is a release…

This is dedicated to my grandmother who died several years back. May her soul be at peace...

The Whole Nine Yards

(D – Dsus – Cadd – G)
The confusion sets, the sun goes down.
Close your eyes, and turn that frown.
Take my hand and hold it tight.
Just walk with me, don’t lose sight.

When I’m with you, all is clear.
All things else would disappear.
And in your arms, time goes slow.
Just close your eyes, then just let go.

Chorus: (Bm – A – G – A)
The whole nine yards of falling in love
A place of bliss, that’s where I’m bound
There’s something else in the way that you are.
It’s the way I am when you are around.
I lose myself as I stare in your eyes.
I pull away from this feeling I’ve found.

I walk on a path that keeps me alone.
Can’t let go of this pain that I own.
I raise my head and nod to the stars.
I bend back down you’re just too far.

Chorus

I hear your voice and I turn to see
As the moon shines down, you smile at me.
I feel your touch, the soft in your skin.
The smell of your hair, and I’m pulled in.

Chorus

I can’t help but say what’s true.
The facts say; I love you…
