The Smile

Countless days passed since the
last time I saw her.
My mind strayed from thoughts of her.
And slowly I forgot about the girl
I never had loved.
Untill she passed across the street.
Unsure if it was her I merely
gazed at the ravishing apparition.
When crossing she seemed aware
of my presence.
A smile played across her bright red lips
as she approached.
When she bowed over me
she softly kissed the corner of my mouth.
When I unbelievingly looked up,
I uttered an incoherent question why.
With that same smile she said:
Why don't you come and find out...
And then the dream died softly in silence.

Sad Siren's Song

What an amazing contrast with the life it once knew.
Left behind by it's grief filled past.
So frail and left feeling lone
in a world it once adored.
Now it all seemed filtered through a
blackened lens, scortched by
the fire which once burned within.
Now all that's left is a sad siren's song.
Wailing through the restless nights.
Faint reminders of a better world
pass by every day.
But it seems like it doesn't want
to see.
That it's still the same place,
but no longer carefree.

The Lost Soul

I saw you standing there,
so beautiful and fragile.
Existing in this cold world
without a sense of direction.
The fear of life surrounds
that gentle soul.
No meaning was ever given.
No one to take you by the hand
and show you the right road.
Your sadness seems so perfect and intense.
Which renders me speechless,
left in awe.
You seem too good to be true,
because you see,
I'm just like you...

Monochrome

In this present darkness,
I'm monochrome without you.
My sky's only filled with
a sole black rainbow.
Each bow darker than the next
in a deep blue sky.
Yet it reminds me of the colors,
the colors that you seem to shine.
The mere thought makes me
long for a moment of reconciliation.
If you were only here to console me.
And color my rainbow and
release me from my grey self.

Never Forget

I can still see two pair of footsteps
walking these streets.
They took me places I never thought I'd go.
Memories of a shared past linger into eternity
and remind me of a better time.
I recognize this road from eeyore.
And it reminds me of the mood I enjoyed.
I've seen so much,
shared so many moments in places
I only dreamed of.
All of them are kept alive
by the mere thought of you.
I wish I'd never die,
because these memories should
never be forgotten.

Grey Memories

There's something in the way the clouds move
across the grey sky.
It takes me back to a time
where future and happiness not really existed.
I can still feel that momentary lapse of love
which filled me then.
I used to cling on to those grey days
and savoured every letter, every kiss.
How could I even try to forget those memories.
When they shaped me into the man I am today.
It's worth so much more to retain all
the good and loving moments.
Instead of living with the pain of loss.
So I released myself from the cage within.
By remembering the deep grey sky.

Horrors Of Self

I'm being followed by horrors in my mind.
Looking for every possible sign and every wrong vibe.
Afraid to find these little signs to be true.
I couldn't cope with losing you.
The sheer thought makes me shiver.
That one like me could end up alone again.
There's something in me which clings on to hope.
Tells me that it's all in my mind.
And on the other side I still fear for the worst.
Which would shield me from the fall.
I'd love to take the doubt away by
hearing it in your honest words.
Which take me from my demons
and send me back to earth.
