"Money isn't everything, Money isn't anything, It's just an expensive waste. I have seen rich people die, I have seen poor people die, And I have seen no difference. There is no fear in death, Not rea..."

"How do I treat you ? Is there something I haven't got ? Or is it just you ? I seem to be working so hard To try to capture a piece of you, But it seems I am not off the starting blocks After the gun h..."

"I talk to you, I listen to you, I understand you, And I hope you do me. What we have is special to me And I don't think I would change it. If there is a time for us Then so be it. Tell me if I'm wron..."

"He sits there, No purpose in life, Just to gather dust. But if people really knew what he was thinking They would have felt sorry for him, And he does not want that, He just wants to be alone. Alone, ..."

"As I look at this bare room, I think of old times. Times of joy, Times of happiness. But what of today? The telephone rings, The door is knocked, But still I feel So alone. Life is filled with a certa..."

"From dreams of uncertain reality, Consciousness regains its inevitable hold, And I emerge into confusion. Daylight hides behind the curtain, Ready to ambush the cobwebs To attack the dark. Good morn..."

"They walk to, To where? I don't think they really know. Are their lives as bleak as they look? Are they filled with empty chores So that they themselves are Kept sane. Is their life work? Or mundane...."

"While I was dreaming I saw life Entwined in a struggle With doubt. I saw no winner, And there was no loser. They fought in a room That was round With high ceilings. And while life was climbing, Doubt ..."

"A year, A day, A moment, Is so long when wasted. I was happy, Lost in some period of time, And maybe I stepped forward, When I should have stayed in line And so now the walls have fallen, I stand defe..."

"I find it hard to write What I mean to say to you, And I don't know why. I care for you, More than I thought I did, More than I have done in a long time. But I will not bother you, Nor harass you, J..."

"Why? Why now? Why me? It had to happen, I know, But why now? Why not later? I don't know how to feel I'm numb. It doesn't seem possible, Just doesn't seem possible. I feel, I feel sad Confused Worried..."

"I hope its not too late, Not again, Please not again. Realisation of feelings, Is the happiest mystery Which I have encountered, But there are the problems of sudden fondness, That must be overcome. ..."

"Listen to me, Sit down and be quiet This is important, I have something to say, I'm in love. I don't know why, It just seems to be, I'm in love. Never before Have I felt this way, Never again, Will ..."

"The young boy lay there, No breath to breathe, No heart to beat, No nerves to move. He lay, Quite motionless On that still floor. There was noise, But he could not hear. There were sights, But he coul..."

"Look at them, Those fools over there They do not know where they are Or what they are doing. They just stand, Decaying inside their shell shocked bodies. There is one, Smiling as if it were all a sick..."

"There was no hope, He knew No way out. People all around him, Smug smiles upon their faces, Knowing they had unfairly won. They thought superior thoughts, And with such ignorance It is hard to make th..."

"Mistakes are easily made, But are hard to right. I assumed And you shunned. Friends take time to make, But seconds to lose. I came forward And you stepped back. Can we start again? I know where I st..."

"The message was clear, The interpretation was not, And we died. Reactions along side obstinate power, They thought the other was the enemy, But there are no enemies of foreign nature, Only themselves...."

"They were crying, The flood of tears Knew no limits. Their shattered hopes, Lay on the ground, Helpless to their own emotions. Was it a miracle that they had been born? Or was it the sentence for some..."

"Waiting for a call, That's all I'm doing. Out on a limb Perched above the rest They wait to see if I fall, To see if I scream To see if I bleed. Though its not suicide I contemplate, But love. Now yo..."

"The wind whistled round the sympathetic branches, And they leaned just that little bit further to hear, The melancholy tone of places far Far away. Desolation of strong brothers and sisters, All for ..."

"When I saw you I saw you first, And then when I loved you You loved me first. I used to wonder, How it must feel But now There is no need to wonder. I tell you I'm jealous And of whom you ask, Of me..."

"Questions asked, Silent answers. Facts sought, Lies perpetuated. No more I beg, I want no more of this indecent charade Please go away I must sleep. But no, Never rested Never understood Dead certain...."

"You broke the law, And stole my heart, And your sentence Was me. Did you wish then As I wish now? That our love was special So special. Am I speaking blind? Was there ever anything as So remote as l..."

"There it goes again And with an ease so alarming, I worry. Look at me In to me, And see yourself Cowering in the dark. When I say, What I say, Will be unfriendly In its familiarity. You do understand...."

"My Aunt, She came And went But never a day was spent With her. So close Was she To I In blood But that was not enough. Written January 28th, 2002 © on Jan 28 2002 08:16 AM PST   0 • 14"

"Their love is halfway there, And in time it will be whole. But time is the stealer of emotions I see the sparkle in the fresh eyes, The grin for the moment is genuine, But when does the sand run out? ..."

"Beauty, They say, Is in the eye of the beholder, In my eye. It has a quality, Unmatched. It flows like endless poetry Ready to capture unguarded hearts, Susceptible hearts. Why now Should you ask Do I..."

"As I was walking into sin, I passed a church with palm trees in. And with what I saw, And what I felt, I could not have knelt Before them. Written January 29th, 2002 © on Jan 29 2002 06:17 AM PST   0..."

"Sleepless nights Thoughtless days, And so I pay For loving you. Written January 29th, 2002 © on Jan 29 2002 06:20 AM PST   0 • 8"

"There is an earth Where things are just as they look No distortions of reality No lies. But to get there means such great sacrifice That few will ever try. Obese mountains hard to climb Stand in the ..."

"I thought, And then you came, Could you hear me, Or was it just meant to be. It has been quite a time, But your face is still as new As it was before. What happened last time was my fault, And I have ..."

"I saw the house, One lonely day. There were no lights And gone away Were the people who had once lived And shown at least some interest In its solemn life. I asked to see Somebody there, They looked ..."

"You caught me off guard, And showed me that pasts Are really never forgotten. I was not out to show Or impress anybody, Just to talk And relax a little, With no thoughts worth thinking Too long about...."

"The flames laughed and the flames danced. Bright eyes played Vivid imagery, And wished for a piece of the energy Which was so close to hand. But he was innocent enough To know not to get taken in By w..."

"No real time, To look at you, No real time, To think things through Please come back to me. I thought of you Every day, I thought of you And what you said, I need you here with me. Is it right to sa..."

"Please stop what you're doing, I need to talk about my troubles, And I need to talk about the things My friends do not need to know. Give me your innocence for just a while So that I can express how I..."

"The lights in big cities Working non stop to keep me awake Doing their job. No one behind their windows Just each of the cities solemn thoughts Lit up on their own. Faceless drivers Milling round In..."

"Lies is the best description, For there is no reasoning For fabricating half truths Into profiteering moves, And the people who believe Are still searching For a way to move on, To surpass the others...."

"He looks around Hoping to see What he is waiting for, But then he himself does not know What it is. He looks again But there is nothing, No glimmer No hope, But still he will stay, Waiting for what he..."

"See the light at the end of the tunnel, That light is you, And though you are close enough to see, The warmth is still not felt. But that does not mean that I will give up, Far from it, I'll just keep..."

"After the storms The rain came down, And it saw no sorrow For the hallowed ground, Which knew it had to give A little To allow the others to live A little, Among the bending trees. After the rain, We..."

"The loss of a loved one Hurt so much more than I first expected, But maybe it has given me the experience I was needing. If I had listened Then this would have never happened And life would have gone ..."
