Ghosts

Memories like ghosts
Haunting every moment
Every move
Days, seasons, years
Swept away at a blink
Looking back
Turn forward
Just another ghost haunting me
Flashes of scents
Fragments slicing glass beneath the minds eye
Alone in haunting
Times, faces
Just another yesterday
Why must there always be
Ghosts chasing me

Sign

The end draws nearer
A jagged knife of emotion
Letting go of the past
More like having it carved
From thr depths of my soul
Everything I dreamt
Everything planned
Gone
No choice but to move on
No more black and white
Trying to find Technicolor life
Praying the twinges of pain
Subside
Reality
Life on the single side

Pheonix

Her fire is addicitive
She burns like a pheonix
Consuming everything with her touch
For so long she hid
Afraid the world would mock her
Again
In the aftermath of wreckage
She found that spark
The light that makes life
The world go around
So she shines
Brighter than the noon day sun
Never again will her heart be dependant
On just one

Learning

The choice was given
The answer for you
Wasn't me.
There is nothing I can do
But let you be free
The winds carry you away
Hopefully soon
They will take your memory
Learning to live
Without you and me.

Sail Away

A love that is true
Can not be seperated
By time nor distance nor strife.

It cleaves to the other
Like a life boat
As the waters of life churn around it.

It is the light house
Guiding the passengers
Safely away from imminent peril
Upon the jagged rocks of life.

Your love was a floaty
A false promise of safety
Leaving me drowning in the end.

You were the sweetest illusion
Yet your song never rang true
Bless the day she sailed away with you.

In the end
Rowing alone
Is far better
Than drowing in two.
