The leaves of trees all faint all fail
With autumn gale they fall and wail
Oh stand O perch on clouds so high

She calls me when you've done her wrong
She calls when you can't speak
She calls to me all the things
I wish were meant for me,
She falls for all your worn out charm
she'll fall to lift you...

LostYou fall like a feather to the ground
I can no longer blame the wind
For your change in direction
You slip through my fingers
Each time I reach out
The wind takes you
You're willing
You are

That rule on ancient Egypt land
Thy...

Our AdieuWhen the golden threads upon your head
Slowly turned to silver
The years of each of us ambling by
As the unending course of a river
I wondered about you my friend
Hoping all was well your way
And that perhaps...

Together and Apart
Many thoughts,
Few words,

In this boat,
We have sailed,
Nights together,
Hearts apart,

Its resonant hum, a whispered cosmic sigh

He Doesn't Love You AnymoreWistful as you may be about him
He is never coming home
So gloomy and melancholy all the time

But when you do, you are shroud with darkness
These heavy feelings you carry around
Make...

with zeal, this cruel world
from frustration, our haunting zones
ours' are tormenting chapters untold
when tomorrow has nothing to offer
while soothing music shadow all the misery
And alarmingly ours to perish

Wounded Whisper
In the joy suffused sky of my fervent freedom,
I let the enraptured heart’s lured songbird soar high,
glide in the spring-rippled amorous breeze
that carried your fleeting jasmine fragrance to me.
Charmed by your charisma I sang the...

LostYou’re just a ghost
I can’t listen to your voice
But where did you go
No, I can’t hear a noise
These words in my head screaming out your name
Why did you go and leave me burdened by...

Be kind to falling raptorsBe kind to all my fallen failures.
Even when I’ve burnt my house down?
Even when I’ve broken homes in two?
Even when I am guilty of misbehavior?
I’ve experienced downward spirals mangled
Everyone deserves an upward trajectory
Keep my wings...
