Carry the FlameDestitute, barren, hollow,
Senses malfunction,
Reality, I struggle to swallow,
Critical error, dysfunction.

A lovers dreamI seek a spot,
in paradise.
Where love is hot,
just like a spice.
A place of dream,
where hearts are won,
without a scheme,
when words are done.
Where burning hearts,
become a whole,
not just a piece,
of burning coal.
A lovers nest,
beside the sea,

Intertwined Souls In Passionate UrgeAh! All fades away,
nothing remains...
but carved names
into cold stones!
The scent of evening's kisses,
the touch of trembling hands

into pretty sunsets!
Intertwined souls
in passionate urge
make moaning surge;
no crickets sound distracts,
no moonlight gets admiration:
we're...

Temptations of the pastThe silence is deafening, but I know you're still here.

Don't Dream, Don't CryDon't dream, don't cry...
don't let be something
of your daily living;
as you know dreams
don't last more than a single night!
Don't dream, don't cry...

wish for the guy who held you tight!
Don't dream, don't...

Tinglesshadow cast within
dust and pink ribbon
growing steady
like floating stars
glowing more
burst of sin
screaming within
pink red black
mirrored to reflect
some ones love never comes back...

The Evolution of WantListen up, 'cause I'm about to break it down
From caveman to spaceman, desires abound
Security, survival, that's where it begins
Food, water, shelter, protection from our sins
But we ain't stop there, oh no, we expand
Love, knowledge, purpose,...

Across the MilesAcross the miles, my heart does yearn,
For you to know the love I burn.
In distant lands, you dwell so far,
Yet in my soul, you are my star.
Each moment planned, each meeting near,
The world conspires, but...

Zeus's ComplianceThey thought so confidently that wintry brief days
would be over soon if Horae only agreed to appease;
and although they constantly pleaded with deep eagerness,
