smokeless glory

Grueling seconds turn into terrifying hours

That pass by slowly as I regain my power

While tattered emotions still seep from me

I find a way to release this tempting deceit

I rise up as if unleashed from an early grave

Kicking and screaming I start to crave

Though I grumble my will I cannot waive

This tainted vice is losing its control

And out of its ashes I take back my soul

Wishful Thinking

Thinking twice about a second chance glance

Where you,with caramel eyes and the dark hair

Did pierce my heart with blissful romance

Placed upon a golden throne you are the lovely heir

To a destiny manifested in two kinds souls

A life a love sealed by hands with gentle prayer

Like doves who mate for life, We found our whole

Death and Me

I traverse an old,tattered and lonely road

My only companion who lingers a little behind

Caresses my soul with his foreboding ode

And as the ancient psalm is strung and told

I somber down this path of lies and shine

Just to overcome obstacles and severed dreams

The like of which only death could weave

I feel eyes that do not wish to grieve

Lined up on the river sticks caught in a scream

Right before my soul flickers out into the late

I realize through all the many scrapes

That life is real and there is no escape

From my companion who does believe in fate

What if I said

What if I said

I can't love you year by year

But I'll love you for your tears

I can't love you every day

But our hearts will find a way

What if I said

You are my every thought

You are the dream I sought

You are my forever

The one heart felt endeavor

What if I said

You and me is always we

And we will always be
