We met in a coffee shop off Fifth Avenue In Jersey. You were so magnetic; your eyes shone so brightly. A couple of years passed by; and our paths crossed once more through the entanglement of interwoven destiny. We both ended up in that coffee shop again. I have to ask: Did the blue in your hair fade naturally, or did you lose...

Golden sunsets fade to blue, Stars appear, and night's anew. The world is hushed, in quiet sleep, Dreams unfold, in secrets deep. Moonlight whispers, a gentle tone, In the darkness, hearts are known....

I need not build a mansion to find my peace of mind. I need no fleet of luxury cars for calm to dwell inside. All I need is a whisper — a gentle breeze blown beneath a clear, untroubled sky, under a tree that leans above a quiet, streaming brook casting a cool, soft shade. The bright sunlight will wrap me in a tranquil blanket, within a...

You’re gentle, judgemental, A freak in sheep’s disguise Yet in some ways you’re burdened by self sacrifice, You’re obsessive, compulsive, Afraid to let me go You’re afraid of what’s left of you, If you have not my hand to hold You know I love you, But it’s time to move on Take a fall, and crash out, if I’m wrong Be scared, I’ll hold you, If...

Once there lived a wizard who practiced thumbcraft, who conjured with swipes and spells from his draft. He began just at two with a clever old trick, skipping ads on YouTube with a finger click. By five he could summon a friend with a ping, And charm them to stay with a joke or a zing. At ten, he was crowned...

Day is done and night now comes; flowers fade and birds sleep. Hear the wolf, he sings a love song; through the darkness deep. Hear the shadows weave their lullaby; weave a soft melody. As you dream, they sing their gentle song; sing for you and for me. As the day fades, and night begins; let your dreams arise. Watch as the starlight dances along through...

I'm sorry I know you may have never been told that But you deserve it And so if nobody is gonna tell you that I will You deserve it In a world that has told us to be strong And has held us to impossibly high standards I wanted you to know that you matter And you deserved better From the world From your own I'm...

They claimed this world, Its not what it seems to be. So it started to unravel, bursting at the seams. So I lied in a wake. Unable to slip away. So I'm begging you now go back to sleep. counting your stars while they poison your sheep. Once the wave is set it's doomed to repeat. Thats where they linger hidden within your dreams. Just waiting for...

Here we are lost in our creation, lost to all creation. Take my hand and take a look around me. just take a look around, see! Can you see the dead? The dead are all around me. The dead are all that I see. So move, Don't stop. You have to keep moving, you just have to keep moving. The dead, they walk. their...

Hear Ye! the babbles of brook flowing on by. the fizzy hiss of foam floating on tide. the howls of a waterfall crying into sky. the raging roar of waves crashing on beach. the pitter-patter raps of raindrops on window panes. the splish and swish of paddles straddling lake. the tinkle taps of gentle rain showers on rooves. the guttural gurgle of water...
