Vanished Like Mist
Now I wonder, ponder, persuade the mind to wander in an abyss of what may be
Plowed and clawed then probed to find a reason for frenetic rumblings within me
As time passed unabated, skin hides pain beneath waves of what these eyes see
The heart trembled: is myopia or enmity reason why I have not found Amy Lee?
Love is not a game man coerces into submission then drags its spirit underwater
Auguring, kneeling, begging will not make it acquiescent to what one may prefer
Precious memories evoked by the hungry heart impalpably depart and disappear
What remains are remnants, reminders of the haunting past...that I had lost her

Vision of the Seas
Cruising towards Hamilton, Bermuda
Amy lee
How is it
You came
To be on
My mind
Every time
You sing
Long lost memories of you come flowing back to me
These memories of you and your beauty that haunts me
Oh how your eyes seem to entrance me, but their filled with sadness
They make me want to comfort you from your unbearable loneliness
A beautiful phantom made real from my dreams
A spirit that forbides but beckons me closer it seems
A haunting voice like that of Amy Lee from Evanescense
It seems to add to your enticing presence.
No one even knows who you are
But i want to be the one to reach you,you're so close,and yet so far
But like a candlelight in the darkness you start to fade
You're disappearin from me like a ghostly shade
Now you have vanished,gone forever from me
Leaving me alone here,leaving forever
To never again to see you,to hear you,to feel you
To be haunted by these lost memories
Of you and your haunting beauty
