Stolen Disaster

I’ve taken a vow and I’ll,
I’ll burn this city down,
Burn it to ground,
Ashes by the pound.

Because it was too good
And you had attitude
But so did they
Thus I walk, walk away.

Cornerstone in a bad binge
By the lace the gloves hinge
And, well, nobody awaits at your window
Summer love crafted a young widow.

I’ve taken a vow
I’ll burn this city down.
Maybe I’ll be back come winter
When bad memories are just a splinter…
Stuck in the back of my mind
Until a crowbar I can find.

I’ll burn this whole city down
Until it is nowhere to be found,
That is my vow…
Burnt to the ground.

Cheap and Debonair

I walked a thousand miles, alone,
The footprints I left are now long gone,
Nobody ever saw them
And now, no one can.

I could wait a hundred years
But I would get nothing but tears…
Your head is not at the right place
There is a cheating smile on your face.

If you don’t love me, let me go away
Take a further step into the day
Because I don’t know tomorrow
But some images I can borrow…
And it looks so bright, so true
Sadly, I just don’t think it is with you.

I could be wrong,
So could this song…
But I see your eyes
And all untold lies!

Ah, well, I walk another thousand miles
Carrying tears yet to be spilled
a pocket-full of to-be-had smiles
and irony yet to be distilled.

You say I am a king among cowards
Well, my feet move along, stalwart.
In going forward bravery there is
For you are not mine, you are not his.

Emperor of Rome

Sing muse, for Rome,
Write poet, the tome
Tell the tale spirited by ale
Of young lovebirds by the reservoir,
Of this place oh so very far.

While I was away,
It burned to the ground,
And I came back this day,
But Rome was not around.

It was a perfect crime,
For there was no time
To stop Rome from burning,
To stop it from crumbling.
And ashes were made of Rome,
And suddenly there was no home.

And while I was away,
It was razed to the ground.
And I walk away this day,
Rome is nowhere to be found.

So, tell muse, the tale of the laureate,
Let me sing my muse, the song you create.
Because I walk away, it isn’t here today.
Without Rome, without home.

Mislove

We laugh, it is fun,
Isn’t it, hun?

An old joke on the floor,
A broken heart is a broken door,
He flees the obscene scene,
But he’ll be back tomorrow.

We cry, we have no class
Isn’t it so, lass?

Dream Girl

If you are a dream,
I don’t want to be awake,
Even if the grains grow thin,
With earthquakes in between.

The hourglass is still running,
The dreams keep on coming,

Don’t, don’t wake me,
I won’t open my eyes,
Listen to me,
Not to the lies.

You are too good to pass,
And even I must confess
That I miss your smile,
To my desert a Nile.

Hush now, don’t,
I can’t, I won’t,
Because if you are a dream,
I’ll let the hourglass run thin.
Don’t wake me
up
…

Damn.

Sunshine Cleaning

Scrub away the past,
Just a shotgun blast.
Old blood on the walls,
One shot and it falls.

In the twilight of my days,
I used to count the ways
Across the universe
-I wrote a single verse.

I needed few words,
The best of both worlds,
True love and a lone rose,
-Life made real with purpose.

Blood, blood on the walls,
It drips, it falls.
Shotgun, shotgun blast.
Just scrub away the past.

Crash

It would have been much easier
If it were not with us,
And it would have been quicker
If I entered a different bus.

But I’m stuck in love,
My body feels a numb soft,
This traffic won’t move
And the past stomps the hoove.

Can’t shift gears,
Stuck behind SUV rears,
We are so very far away
Wish I could see you today.

I wish I had wings,
To be taken by the winds,
And arrive at your doorstep
A sea with no depth…
But the race won’t end
He keeps coming at the bent.

Bridges under the Water

Forfeit the answers and the lies,
Break loose, cut all the ties,
In the end, who are we gonna send?
In the start, did we have a heart?

Spinning golden glasses,
Skipping all your classes,
Jumping down staircases,
Days are simply phases.

Forfeit the lies and the answers,
Break loose, ladies and sirs,
If someone we send, how is it gonna end?
Did we have a heart, in the start?

Spinning silver guns,
Killing daughters and sons,
Jumping down the staircase,
Relax, it is just a phase.
Just a phase,
We can’t erase.

Tale of Two Epitaphs

The tongues are tied,
The lips are sealed,
The room is cleared.

The words are abound
But meaning’s not yet found.
Looking on the brighter side
They just might slide.

Trimmed undertone,
Carved-out bone,
Looking on the brighter side
We just might let it slide.

Waves wear me down,
We wear the same frown,
To words we are bound,
Meaning we have found.

Looking on the brighter side
To the Sun the moon is the bride,
Looking on the brighter side,
We follow the flow of the tide.

Just so I can see you

Fallen words unspoken,
The toll of life is a token
Granted in simple lines
In a field full of mines.

Let’s build a house, a home,
Write our history in a tome
For the ages to see,
For aeons to be.

Let’s avoid the dark quiet room
It speaks only of doom,
It brings only gloom.

So let’s build a home,
For the years to come.
Let’s build a well-lit place,
So I can see your face.

I Recognize

Not the same as before,
Not now, not anymore,
Chained flames and eyes,
A clean veil with no lies.

My feets are bare,
As the turtle and the hare,
We race to the finish line
And step on a landmine.

Lift this curse,
Snatch your purse,
Let’s run away,
Before today,
Before tomorrow.
Carefree, no sorrow.

Give me your hands,
Give me your heart,
A new beginning
To a new start.

My Dear

Apologize, apologize to nobody,
Your work here can’t be shoddy
Regret, regret nothing at all
Be the angel that can endure the fall.

You’ve got the wings to carry over,
Feathers with which to hover,
By all things graceful,
You are an angel.

Be happy and live your life,
Don’t be caught up in strife,
Be happy – and live your life.
Nothing else matters,
Nothing else matters.
