So Far So Close

So  close  no  matter
How  far
forever  knowing  who  you  are


So far  no  matter
how  close
forever  forgetting  who  I'am

So  blind  no  matter
your  vision
never  seeing  the  things  I  do
So deaf  no  matter
your  hearing
never hearing the  I  love  You

So  foolish  no  matter
how  mature

always  playing  Stupid  Mind  Games
So alone  no  matter  your  friends
Because  you  ran  your  true  LOVE  INSANE

yet  you  your  so  far

Rainbow

Distancing  is  not
A rainbow  shooting  through
The  Sky
It's  Height  Is  A  Distance
Height  Provides  Seclusion
It's Uniqueness is it's  Distance
It's  Magical Beauty Is
Separate  From  the  World
A  Rainbow  Believes  in  Magic
It's  Thinks it  Can  Seduce  The
World  Forever
It  Thinks  of  itself  As  Immortal
A  Rainbow  Can't  See  Beyond
It's Own  Beauty
It  Can't  See  it's  maker
It   Takes  and  Abuses  what  it  Stole
From  it's  Creator
But  A  Rainbow  Can't  Surmount
Something  More  Beautiful  The  Creator
Is  Aware  of  a  Threat
It  Hides  Behind  a  Floating  Fortress
A  Rainbow  Can  No  Longer  Retrieve  The
Supplies  it  Abused
To  Obtain  Magical  Beauty
Slowly  it's  Life  Supply  Cut  Off
Immortality   Was  a  Fragment
Of  Imagination

You and I

You and  I
Make  a  Wonderful  Pair
Cruising  through  Life
Without  A  Care

We  are  Like  Two  Birds
Flying  High  In  the  Wind
Never  Really  Caring  
If  We Touch  Land  Again
We  Fly  Together
In  All  Kinds  of   Weather
it  Never  get's  So  Bad
That  it  makes  Us  Sad

We  Just  Keep  on  Keeping  On
Never  Wanting  To  be  Alone

When   We  Are  Together
Nothing  Can  Go  Wrong
Life  Goes  On  and  On
