It's already midnight
Spring is here
With her flowers and presents
We have a new season
Everyone knows the reason

And the women wear their best, that's right.
Winter is gone
We are sad, it's madness
The...

UnchartedCould have wished, would have shown me earlier,
If it weren't only for the tranquil color,
Covering energy, wasted serene past finally dissipated,
Uncomfortable in others' comfort, glossy sight surroundings,
Reexamining this position wasn't all it was cut out...

Goodbye to my LoveYou say whatever it is, I can talk to you
But I'm finding it hard to believe it's true.
For you make me feel like a complete fool
When I reach out, and you lose your cool.
Where exactly...

DoorstepI am the door she ran through;
Broken, off the hinges, jammed in place
I lie on the floor that once brushed off my shoulders
Unable to move as I stare at the ceiling

GLIMPSE OF A RAINBOWIn the darkest fields are my robes of blood
Soaking and cursing me every night to shed.
Little through the valley lies my heart;
When I met you it stopped and was so beating hard!

The Deepest Pain
When her shadow falls on yesterday,
And the memory erases the hopes and dreams,
Like faded stars in a warm, summer sky –
Her fickle heart makes its way through the night,
Breathing lonely into those minds, those lives,
Believers...

The HitchhikerThis highway's mine, goodbye to Jayne,
so long, farewell, Virginia Plain,

and no-one stops to ask your name,
they'll...

The woes of a crying child.

Trusting my gut.
Begging for help.
Yet the pains...
