Dandelion 05:09
Everlasting soul Never resting spirit Floating through the world Barely touching ground Reaching for the sun While the seasons fade away And soon a breeze will take you on it’s wings To discover the beauty beyond A whisper from afar Tells me where you are And from the soil Where you’ll come to lay Yellow flowers will bloom amidst the grey One day Till they’re blown away Will you let them stay?
2.
Sad Again 06:04
I feel bad today Don’t know what’s going on For yesterday I was on top of my game, hm I dropped the ball Just when I thought I had it all under control, oh I’m sad again It’s my bad I let myself down I let myself doubt That I was doing alright Oh, I regret That I’m still bothered By the things you said For I should know better by now All your shallow words Led me to second guess All I was proud of before, oh I’m sad again It’s my bad I let myself down When I let myself drown in thoughts That shouldn’t be mine I can’t forbid those clouds To move through the sky Nor stop the rain From pouring right down on me But instead of drowning in a puddle I could splash around carelessly
3.
Far away they sail Through dark, deep water Endless open sky They keep on calling you Seagulls show the way To unknown places Will there ever be a place A place that you call home?
4.
Rooftops 07:47
The sun is gonna crash Into the rooftops of the city and I Couldn’t care less ‘Cause all that I want is Waiting for the night to come So I can close my eyes All that I am praying for Is an empty mind Though the day is through My head keeps spinning thoughts that my heart Never could bare The same memories of You are threatening me tonight With pictures showing how It could have been, it would have been But it never was All that I want is peace Inner peace The circles on the water are fading ‘Till nothing else matters The world is far away and I’m in a better place In silence
5.
I am not yours, not lost in you, Not lost, although I long to be Lost as a candle lit at noon, Lost as a snowflake in the sea. You love me, and I find you still A spirit beautiful and bright, Yet I am I, who long to be Lost as a light is lost in light. Oh plunge me deep in love — put out My senses, leave me deaf and blind, Swept by the tempest of your love, A taper in a rushing wind.
6.
Water Poem 07:05
Water cleans and heals your wounds Takes you in surrounds you wholly Let it’s wisdom flow through your veins ‘Till peaceful streams possess your brain Breathe in breathe out breathe in Breathe in breathe out breathe in Deep inside a river flows And where it leads us no one knows Surrender flesh and bone to it’s flow And what remains will start to show A teardrop of relief Reveals what it means to be
7.
Dust and water covering the sky Remembering all he left behind Once the streets were filled with laughter And the world was blue and green Now, where the playground used to be Stands a warmachine Clinging frailly to an olive tree A long forgotten melody One that few have lived to know And some may never hear For those who used to sing Now bear the fruit of fear And still we dance in the sand Creating swirls of dust In this cycle of joy and tears Fed by fear and lust And while worlds collide Life goes on And fate hides in the shade It's weapon pointing at our feet Watching how we go astray
8.
Tundra 09:31
Somehow I did not recognize The ice cold gleam within his eyes Too soon the soothing night has gone And daylight shows what we have done You planted a seed in my brain and there it grows Wrapping it’s branches around my chest I can’t breathe anymore Beware wherever you may go Some twinkling eyes are just for show And instead of gazing at the stars You better go to safe your heart Falling in love, they say Is sometimes based on a projection of hopes Caused by wishful thinking And what you get is an inaccurately drawn portrait Which is denying all flaws But when the night is too dark to see where you are going Yet to cold to stand still and stick around Well then every light appears to be inviting And you follow the promise of warmth Mesmerized and blind Beware wherever you may go Some twinkling eyes are just for show Instead of gazing at the stars I should have gone to save my heart
