Why

Words without meaning,
Utters sensual sweetness,
Lying to my soul.

Watch it Obi-wan im not that friggin old.

Train luke to a jedi is my one condition.

Lost But Not Forgotten

Some time has passed
from when i thought
the music flowed a soar,
and golden trumpets 
sprang from the heavens
to finally play once more.

And from those sweet melodies
of which it was derived
then owed to you of this,
composiums so grand,
my soul could taste it,
this sweet eternal bliss.

Alas my heart
has lost the beat
to which the music plays,
and through the turmoil
from within my chest
my feet felt swept away.

Caught in this current,
desperately trying to swim
to reach you once again,
though my endeavor,
quite unsuccessful,
my love will never end.

and i pray
that youll never let me go
and theres one thing

and my love for you
will never ever end

Something Old, Written New

And tho my mind dwells
On days long past
I sit here 
and I stare.
To be asleep, my dream.
Awake, my nightmare.

A Ride Alone

I'm in the pickup
of my life
wheels keep on turnin
breakin for no one
stoppin at no time

I'm in the pickup
of my life
bed is overfillin
baggage overloadin
weighin down my ride

I'm in the pickup
of my life
takin all the backstreets
lookin for some feelin
wastin all my time

I'm in the pickup
of my life
wind is all I'm feelin
runnin through my hair
passin by my eyes

This pickup of my life
gas is reachin empty
fumes are runnin out
wheels always turnin
breakin at no time

Chaos

My mind wanders
disturbed distorted disillused
fleeing like a fleet of stallions
uneasy like Poseidon's oceans
a broken mirror in the bathroom
staring at a reflection 
in a puddle
on a rainy day
where? how? why? when? who?

destruction devistation desolation
beating but there are no drums
motion but there is no movement
images but there are no eyes
consciousness but there is no thought
the earth trembles as i walk
quake aftershocks bring mayhem
trees,buildings,people ripped apart
blackholes engulf the world around me

recreation renew re-emerged
matter streams into a nebula, a star is born
ink spills onto paper forming words
an expressionist painter throws cans of paint at a canvas
but without thought
a prophet sees the future
but without eyes
the heart pounds with fury
but without pulse
the mind conquers marathons
but only runs in circles

Waves

Riding like the knights, sharp jagged swords, endless sea of waves.

Freedom

Freedom sings and freedom rings
Freedom flies with open wings
Freedom goes and freedom dares
Freedom is the open air
Freedom yells and freedom shouts
Freedom voiced with many pouts
Freedom protects and freedom destroys
Freedom regrets and freedom annoys
Freedom is not such a simple toy

For where are simple freedoms found
in the hearts of all men, profound.

Firefighters

Fortune favors the bold
who climb up the ladder
in a fireman's outfit
to see what's the matter.

To the ones who wear gold
that ride into the night
to face the fiery blaze
and who displace their own fright.

At the drop of a dime
and at the ring of the bell
these heroes we rely on
and who do their job well.
