Premium Member Fade Away
This tear stained soul
   called out in pain
The day our pleasures
   fell like rain
Your softest touch
   my skin knew well
Now scars my heart
   with pangs from hell

Fade away Nirvana, fade away
Fade away Nirvana, fade away

Mournful thoughts cut

Premium Member I Want Not To Fade Away
My one burning wish -
I want not to fade away
like rotten lace, dumped
onto a trash heap and forgotten.

I want to leave myself behind, 
for those who come after
to inhale during breakfast.

Not money, like my mother,
who judged it to be the only thing
of worth she had...

Premium Member Melt and Fade Away
Beneath the heavens 
An endless garden 

The summer sun sneaks 
A wink of amorous warmth
Seeks an ardent love 
Walking not alone

Humming full of wonder
Critiques, and ponders
Knocking at the door 
Of yesterday perfect love. 
Crave to release the world 
Bound to the pages 
Page by page...

Fade Away
This thing we call life has had a toll on me,
I see all I love living in captivity.
A slave to the money,
A slave to the fame,
They don’t even realize their enrolled in the game.
The things that once mattered are chained to the floor,,
I can’t even...

Premium Member Come and See Me Fade Away
Sap has run dry
Time for me to die

My smile has run away
On the horse of my childhood

Spring will be no more
A season beyond my grasp

Life has fluttered away
Wasted moments, in lines

Gluttonous desires have filled me
With veins of death

No love to hold
No life I am told

Voices...

As I Fade Away
I passed strangers with their secrets 
The other day
Something surreal and macabre
I faced this lonely road alone
I walked this blind street 
With a faultless mischief 
My fears withheld within
A stranger to myself
So I embraced my shadow
And prayed for quietness in my head!...

Premium Member Fade Away
We voted them in and then cussed
They will be voted out in disgust
The arrogant charge
Of the leader at large
Will soon fade away like Pixie dust

Fade Away
Fade away
To them on the hills of power
Like it or not 
We are the wall
The people is 
The voice of god 

We are the pen 
You penned by your greed
With your cheat 

Like it or not 
We are the wall
That ball you throw 
Will fall...

I Fade Away
I am standing watching the river of time flow
Days, nights, seasons, come and go
I am praying to the lord to grant me strength and will
I am wishing in my heart that time would stand still

Memories flow through my mind like grains of sand
I think of...

Fade Away
There’s a weight on my chest that won’t go away
A stinging in my eyes, but it’s not the rain
Scars on my arm that take forever to fade away
Drowning out the world because participation leads to pain

Hearing the whispers when you’re alone
“Nobody cares about you… Just...

A Ghost In Life Can Only Fade Away
It’s so hopeless. 
I try so hard to be strong, because I know the people around me need somebody to be.
But how much stronger can I be when I carry the weight of the world on my shoulders. 
Peace is like a foreign concept to...

Bows Fade Away
I am tied together with little pieces of string.
Thin frail ones, tied in little knots—
Not enough string left for a bow.
Shoulder
Elbows
Wrists
Kept together with knots.
String wither over time so another
 I wrap and make into a bow
That bow--over time
Will become just another knot.

Hips  
Knees
Ankles
Sometimes I...
