My Ghost Town

This hollow space in my heart
Is more than just within my heart

You scarred my soul, you chained me down to the hell you brewed for me

I fell for you, yet you stepped back, as an illusion traveling through space. time.

I walked these passages before ...
A time long ago, I felt this horror and hatred, this pain and suffering...

But now I see a immence light, shining from miles away

As I near this light I find myself making out the figure of a Girl ... 

Her cheaks soaked in salt, her body trembling from the cold ...

I saw her, and I saw myself.

Why

Well why is the question
And why is the answer
Well Love is real
Well love is a countermeasure

When life brings you down
Then love brings you up
Well when love drops you
Then love has a lot more forms than just that one love

Its all around
Dont you remember when you where small
And your mother came to pick you up ?
You ran to her and gave her a hug and told her that She 
means the world to you

When you where little you and your dad used to sit watching 
Wrestling, and as soon as it ended
You started to wrestle yourselves

And that is why I say Love is unconditional
You never know when you have it
You always think you have it for the first time
Where you have always had it

Well why is the question
Well why is the answer
Well love is real
Well Love is a countermeasure

Love is real
Love is forever
Love can save you
Or love can break you apart
But remember.
Allways remember.
Love is all Around.

Reality

Elementary yet limitless and to extreme care with a cunning heart?
 
And  aching bones as blood flows through my veins

As my heart pounds with each second
I realise now : I have never noticed the reality of life

Grey

A Love so sweet
I surrendered to thee

We where always us ...
We where always within love ...

But that which once was
Have turned to a distand grey

A surrender in comfort I once found in you
Now discovered in my grief and mysery.

The most Lustrous orbs that once shone to mine
Now a eclipse within aught like mine heart, as it spoke sorrow to me.

Why you had to amerce, I do not know, argal I oft cry from these eyes.
Argal I oft speak my sorrow.

For this love to thee ...
Is now but a distant grey ...

Lastnight

Lastnight 
We danced to a sweet serender
On the stage: 
the spotlight was ours
Under the moon: 
the moment was sincere

We tasted the stars
and swept the floor with a gentle twist from your hips

We Sang a Lullaby and synchronized our hearts
Each beat flowing into the other
Eyes Glistening with pure joy

As a red Rose: 
you bloomed from your eternal beauty 
By heart:
you made me the Gladdest thing under the stars

We ran a Playful speed
We gave our hearts to vice a verse

Fingers entangled and lips locked:
strawberry sweet, cotton soft

As we neared the end:
None mattered but us
None mattered To me but the moments we will hold eternally dear

Shadows

As we move on this highway of steel 
away from passed shadows
Life as a giving
Songs as a living

Shadows running on the Radio, each note a sound of a guitar,
 lifeless ...
yet joyful.

One string after the other 
These six strings bouncing off of the grip.
One by one...

The weels running down the stream-
Steadily and silently
As a silence before the storm
A real game of life ? 

Forward and onward, tring tring taruuum it goes 
Smoothly the sounds bounce ...

Last Request

My last request when I am to die one day: 

tell those that loved me
I love them too

A Throbbing Heart

Nothing is as close to me as a throbbing heart.

Dark, deep and loud.

Pulling me deeper, pulling me close.

Drenching my body in thunder.

You make me scream, you make me more.

You make me what I am, dark, deep and a dangerous beast.

A Fine Night

Tis a fine night to live or die.

So give me love like never before.

Take my body, my heart and soul, take it deep and don't let go.

Drenched in my heart, full of dark.

Screaming at the top of your lungs.

Make my ears go shut and my mind go dark.

Tonight you are mine and mine Alone.
