Ships In The Night

Oh wretched day my heart you pierced

I watched her walk away

We knew it was the last goodbye

the words so hard to say...

Once more the ships go separate ways

and thoughts race in my mind

I wonder if she feels the same

will love we ever find?

Dream

How does my heart create the dream

when I lay down to sleep

From where does my sweet lover come

in vain I try to keep

The Writer

Take your pen and paint for me

an image in my mind

A scene that I can look upon

a joy that I might find...

Cause my heart to smile again

bring back a memory

Stir the embers of a fire

that once burned bright in me...

Write of secrets no one knows

except for me alone

Things that I cannot express

of pleasures I have known...

More

The heartstrings tugging once again

I thought of you today

A memory stopped to say hello

decided it would stay...

All day long I've been detached

my friends say you ok?

I can't let go of how I feel

I'm struggling hard today...

A part of me says go ahead

be bold and risk it all

And yet another voice within 

"be careful you don't fall"..

The battle rages on and on

my mind and heart at war

I'm standing at the fork again

and this time, I want more...
