The Lost One and The Road Back

I am lost, and I have to find my way back
I have journeyed into a darkness of my own making
A darkness that I sorely needed
Needed to escape from another darkness too impenetrable to bear
An ending so heartbreaking and soul rendering that I could not abide
So I ran. I had to run, for pain and [...]

Together Yet Apart

It seems to get harder and harder
Since that day you went away
And still the people keep telling me
Everything will be okay
And I know deep inside
That it’s better where you are now
But we’re not together, you’re not here
It seems so damn unfair
Seems like only yesterday
Living together, two as one
Then suddenly my eyes were opened
When I realized [...]

On the Edge

I try to laugh, struggle for the meaning
Beloved trees taunt me dropping their leaves
Their time done, the turn, circle complete
Lost, I sit quietly, bleeding in pain
Death comes so easily for them
With envy I sit watching each fall
My autumn in the past, yet I remain
Their leaves never to stay, never to feel this empty
I sit and [...]

The Last Flowers

With despair I watch, as they slip away one by one,

But oh, did they not have their glory, their day in the sun
Still, I hate their demise, cannot [...]

So many things to say, so many things to do
So much to share…..
To have that truest of friends back
You, who I could always trust and rely on
To have [...]

Why Again

This year, we still fight, on the sands in the east
Dying and killing, on the Baghdad road
And in the mountains of Abdullah Gan, Afghan children still cry
Dust of our armor, dark evil cloud in their world
We wash our feet, in the waters of the Congo
While millions are slaughtered like meat
And preach that only we know, [...]

Long Struggle

Hope, do I dare
Need someone to hold to
Again the pain rolls and tears
This never-ending struggle to live
To survive, got to ride it
Wave after wave of this agony
As it tries to beat me down
Take what little strength I contain
Take over what life I have left
Wave after wave, got to ride it again
Survive it and keep struggling [...]
