Stardust

Crying in a dark corner 
You curse all that is lost 
World may seem to be empty 
But its void that you've crossed 
You feel love is elusive 
You are just a speck in the crowd 
I will be the answer 
To all your doubts 

How can a man not love you 
You are the brightest of all 
Your not alone beautiful 
I followed your fall 
You pointed towards the sky 
And I knew before you sang 
Your voice is a melody 
Though I cant understand 

The silver that lines your face 
Is losing its glow 
The world wants a martyr 
Its not yours to do so 
We are angels no more 
We are such a shame 
You will succumb to hate here 
Go back from whence you came 

Love is all that you need 
To reach the stars again 
I will give my heart to you 
Coz i know the pain 
The silver glows once more 
And with it our distance too 
My hand holds just StarDust 
Its all thats left of you

The Blue Pill Case

This is a work of total fiction, And the name "Mr.Ray" is a part of my imagination

_____________________________________

"Your dog has been caught terrorizing other animals,
 Mr.Ray you have been charged with a heinous crime."
"But it's not my fault Your Highness"
"Then who fed him the pills ten times?"

"He must've eaten 'em while I was away,
 He's very naughty at times, I must say.
 So you see I'm not to blame,
 You can't charge me, its too lame."

"Anyways Milord I assume you have no proof,
 And I swear by the pills I'm tellin' the truth."
"Dont be too sure Mr. Ray,
 Call in the witness, lets see what she has to say."

"Damn Im done....."

"Ok I'm guilty, but I will show no shame,
 It was all just a stupid dare game."
"Five years of imprisonment Mr. Ray"
"But Milord, Look at him, he's happy and....GAY????" **

"Damn!!!"

Don'T Push Me Down

I don't really know
But clearly it ain't what you think
Try to hide but does it show
Do my tears roll down when I blink
Rose baby touch my face
Hold me tight and tell me its alright
Coz I fear if you don't
I will surely breakdown and cry

The twilight is ending
and with it me too
My heart may be stone but
stones wither too
Why can't I get what
I've strived for so hard
Should I fall on my knees
and beg with my blood

I try to hold dust
its all that I have
It slips through my fingers
to a desert of sand
The dreams that I've dreamt
bring nothing but tears
Tears from failing
failing my fears

Don't push me down
Don't push me down
I'll fall, I'll bleed
But I'll come around
Don't push me down
Don't push me down
I'll fall, I'll bleed
But I'll come around

Don't patronize me
But don't reject
I don't ask for praises
just a little respect
I wonder if my dreams
are built on sand
Will it all fall to nothing
or will it stand

I've started my journey
and I cant go back
The blood in my veins
is turning black
The only way I see
is ahead of me
But the strength in
my feet is failing me

I'll hold my ground
Don't push me down
Every step is more
than life to me
I'll walk to death
If it takes me there
But I'll never surrender
to thee......

Remember the First Time

For Joe Flach's contest
"FIRST TIME"
_______________________

Remember the first time
our eyes met
I couldn't help but see
your graceful face,
I wanted to ask
if you were from heaven
But I was squandered
from nine to eleven.

Remember the first time
we held hands
The touch of your palm
was enough to excite me,
Lost and found
the feeling was alive
I bet you witnessed
what I describe.

Remember the first time
I kissed you
Time went flying,
Our lips were sore,
Kiss and tell they say
I was so sure
It was you, yes you
Whom I was searching for

And then.....

It was the first time
we made love,
I caressed your body
your angelic skin,
I held you so gently
your eyes lost in mine,
I held you so closely
our love lost in time.

I was inspired to write this piece from my poem "ANGEL"

Angel

In the cold of December
Lost in my own world
I was talking to myself
Why does my love hurt
Thats when i heard you
Sobbing, I guess t'was pain
One look at your face then 
And I was in love again

I knew you had fallen
From heaven above,
You gave me no reason
Why was it so?
I held out my hand,You
Took it so gently,
I carried you home
I cared for you gladly

When the morning sunlight
Touched me across my face
I thought it was you
Comforting me,
Memories hit hard
Dont turn away please
Ive fought wit the lord
To keep you with me

Remember the first time
We made love,
I caressed your body
Your angelic skin,
I held you so gently
Your eyes lost in mine,
I held you so closely
My love lost in time

Light on the other side
Maybe much brighter
But no one can love you
As much as me,
Your innocent presence
Had me in wonders
Now your untold absence
Is killing me

Cold

Stranded on crossroads 
of two worlds at war, 
Yet you say the 
end is not close, 
Surrounded by angels 
and demons alike, 
I know not my 
friends or my foes, 
Shielding myself from 
the sparks of thy blades, 
Dreading but awaiting 
the Fall.

Its grown so cold 
within me, 
Its grown so cold 
I cant breathe, 
Its grown so cold 
Memories 
are all thats left. 
Its grown so cold 
in and out, 
Its grown so cold 
I cant shout, 
Its grown so cold 
My Blood 
is turning ice.

Light obstructed 
engulfed in the dark, 
Now broken my faith 
once was whole, 
Beseeching the life 
that was promised to me, 
When day turned to night 
as foretold, 
Trying so hard 
to resist all my fears, 
But into the abyss 
I Fall. 

Its grown so cold 
within me, 
Its grown so cold 
I cant breathe, 
Its grown so cold 
Memories 
are all thats left. 
Its grown so cold 
in and out, 
Its grown so cold 
I cant shout, 
Its grown so cold 
My Blood 
Is turning ice.

The Last Letter

Hey Mary Anne
Hows it going in the city
I am missing you a lot
I love you, And i know you miss me
I miss your love
I miss your care

I hope your shop is running good
Did you buy yourself a car
The colour, That you said you would
Look at the stars
Im not so far

There is something you must know
But I dont have much time to show
So then I wrote this last letter
And it has some of my soul
Im dying fast, I breathe my last
Its in my brain, Its gonna blast
Happend so fast.....

Hey Mary Anne
Before you read this I'll be gone
To the distant shore of heaven
Where I'll sit and write my songs
Girl dont you cry
I'll be alright

There is not much left to say
But babe whenever you feel lonely
You just look up here and pray
You'll here me sing
A voice within

Tear this letter once you'r done
Tear it to pieces, Let it burn
Release my soul that is in you
carry on life is so much fun
Now let me go, Just let me go
I'll await you in another world
In another world...

This is the lyrics to a song which i penned a few months ago. I hope to finish the song soon.

Abandoned

Take me out of this cursed land Mom,
I'm too tired to go on
The only thing that keeps me sane
Is the sweet thought of going home

You told me you'd be back Ma,
You promised it was just a day
But these guys wont believe me now,
They push me on my knees, I pray

I cry, I weep, they hurt me more
They think I'm weak, but they don't know
These wounds of flesh won't hurt for long
With every pain, I'm only strong

So it happens, I plan to run
Come tomorrow, I will be free
Nothing, can stop me now
I will be free, I will be free

Voices in my head they say
They believe I'm an abondoned child
Was I such a shame to you
That you left me alone, your only child?

Eleven years is a long time Jane
I'm too tired, I wanna leave
Hey Ma, you remember Jane?
Shes the reason you abandoned me!

No worries Ma, I forgive you now
I love you too much to hate you
I know you had some reason
Yes Ma, I forgive you

I'm waiting, When the lights go off
I'll run, I'll be free again
Wait for me when the sun goes down
I'll be back, We'll be one again

So it happens, I plan to run
From this wretched place, I will be free
Nothing, can stop me now
I will be free, I will be free

Answer Me [part 1]

Whats supposed to be the order
of things that just happen,
Is it supposed to have a flow
or is it supposed to be random,
The phantoms, I can hear 'em,
Man its too hard
I cant bear 'em,
Memories too vivid
man I wish I could tear 'em.

The pain I can resist
but its the fear I cant handle,
The mistakes that I made
is now flashin' on every channel,
No lights, I need a dazzle,
My freakin' mind
is irrational
As hard as I try
my life turns into a battle

I fight every moment of
my life, Im going crazy,
The whole world's in a riot
and they freakin' blame me,
The devil's tryin' to claim me,
The angels tryin'
to tame me
I try to be the light
But crap; My worries chain me

The pain in my shoulder grows
it compromises the burden,
I fall on my knees, I pray
I wish I could hear him,
But I hear nothing;
It's just a cold wave of silence
I wish I could pull the trigger
And end this freakin' violence.

I was bad God
Now Im scared
Please listen to me
Please God
Please answer my prayer

Do you feel the
Pain that I feel
Why the silence
Answer me
Do you hear me
Cryin' out loud
Are you listening
Answer me

Answer Me [part 2]

Im fighting for an answer
to the troubles of my life,
Im begging you father
put an end to my strife,
I've had enough of this
This is driving me mad
The hollow feeling inside
Tells me my soul is already dead

The fear is too harsh lord
I can't take it any more,
I elude sleep;
Coz my nightmares are gore,
Everyday is a new brawl
I try to get hold
of my pitiful life,
But the world's just too cold

Take a moment of your time
see what I've done to myself
Take a pause;
It's like Im living in hell
Yet you do nothing,
But I keep telling myself
Easy boy;
This crap, it probably ain't real

But unfortunately it is
Im done living a lie
Im a fighter, I will fight
I don't need you by my side
One step at a time
I will wipe off my shame
You bet I will
I will undo the blame

Yet I await
your answer lord
I need strength
I need strength
O' lord

Do you feel the
Pain that I feel
Why the silence
Answer Me
Do you hear me
Cryin' out loud
Are you listening
Answer Me
