The Shadow

From time to time she reappears

and dances once again

The shadow hidden deep inside

that captivated men...

From time to time a memory
a glimpse from long ago
Sometimes at night within her dreams
her teenage face aglow...

From time to time she still pretends
the music starts to play
Her lips begin to sing the words
she once sang everyday...

Troubled Soul

Why do I always feel a peace

whenever I am here?

Is this where troubled souls are drawn

for you to bring them near?

Dream

How does the mind create the dream

when we are sound asleep?

From where do all the actors come

in vain we try to keep?...

Dear Diary

Oh how the mind begins to fade

and words are hard to find

A change is surely taking place

to that I'm now resigned...

I hear the questions deep within

they're weighted with concern

Will my tomorrows smile on me

and peace of mind return?...

A knowing now inside my soul

is there for me to see

When Winter turns to Spring again

my spirit will be free...

Darkness

Sometimes the darkness overwhelms

my spirit weeps inside

I see it all so very clear

a part of me has died...

The Color

The moment caught in black and white

the color's still not gone

Oh how I miss you every day

the memories don't move on...

To See

Sometimes I close my eyes to see

and soon I feel you near...

The Struggle

Sometimes you have to disappear

and find a place to hide

To go where no one else can see

the struggle deep inside...

Music by George Skaroulis

The Path

Sometimes you have to walk alone

the path is just for you

The journey fraught with many fears

you have to see it through...

In My Heart

I think about you all the time

caress you in my heart

You're very much a part of me

and been so since from the start...

The moment I laid eyes on you

my world began to change

The way you smile and look at me

the gestures we exchange...

I don't know when the time will come

when you and I are one

But this I know within my soul

we've only just begun...

The Shore

A walk along the shore tonight

the breeze upon upon my face

Sounds of water brush the shore

a peace I so embrace...

A light from heaven shines above

and points me out to sea

The thoughts form within my mind

I wish you were with me...

In White

Awakened from a pleasant dream

a vision of your face

You stood upon the ocean shore

adorned in wedding lace...

I've waited for you all my life

I knew you would appear

A revelation shows me now

that soon you will be near...

I wish that I could hold you close

and dance with you tonight

But I can wait a little more

to see you smile in white...
