Our Twilight

Did you ever think it strange,
how we met at dawn one day,
we were lovers for the entirety of a day,
and then by nightfall we went our own ways.

You poured your charm over my heart,
I sang a song - beautiful, to win yours,
The day slipped like sand through our fingers,
By twilight we were like lovers of years.

Its that twilight that I remember most,
and I twist and turn in my bed almost,
feeling the touch of that twilight,
of you, of our love, one day, years ago.

Sometimes I make friends with misery,
caged in the twilight of you and me!
and I begin to feel the blood in my veins,
become ripe with the intoxicant of our day.

Lift me out o'harm's way,
out of the twilight of our day,
where I've been stuck for years,
help me leave,
so I can find myself all over again

Our Twilight

Kara

In the Spring of my childhood,
I watched that girl,
surrender to love
She floated by my house,
balloons in hand she blushed,
as I waved her goodbye

Growing up I wished in my heart,
when her age, I would be,
Just as her
She looked like someone from heaven,
and I was just a common,
girl of Earth

Her name was Kara
She walked over the hearts of many boys,
First time I saw her,
was mesmerized by her lovely twinkle eyes,
she smelt of blossoms,
like a spray of perfume on the river side,
she was an angel,
riding clouds above miles and miles high ...

Many years down the line,
I know by now, that love
just means to hurt
Still spend time in its pursuit
for without love,
life doesn't measure up

I may not smell as lovely as her,
or have her hair
my eyes don't twinkle but
I do know in my heart somewhere,
I'm just as she was,
The spring she fell in love ...

Her name was Kara
She walked over the hearts of many boys,
First time I saw her,
was mesmerized by her lovely twinkle eyes,
she smelt of blossoms,
like a spray of perfume on the river side,
she was an angel,
riding clouds above miles and miles high ...

Stumbling across the song of the receptionist !!!

Some days I wake up
and I take a check of reality
put on my make up
o'er signs of anxiety
step into your world
I fix everything so properly
then I keep waiting
for approval so eagerly

and then I see you walk around
without a care about
what I do
and what I say
to you
will you ever really care?

Just the other day
Saw you look at me tenderly
Stomach in knots
In my head I heard me fumbling
Could you be naïve?
Refuse to think that you are really
One day you’ll wake up
And learn to love me fiercely


I wish I didn’t see you walk around
without a care about
what I do
and what I say
to you
will you ever really care?

some days I wake in my sleep,
and if you saw me,
you'd say,
'you've been dreaming'

not all those dreams, I know
are remnants of joy,
can be,
so excruciating

at times I just walk in my sleep,
looking for him everywhere,
and I know, I've fallen in love
other times I weep as I sleep,
tired of seeking his love,
I wish I didn't know, he isn't for me

i even dream when awake
oh! i'm so in love,
the pain,
as I keep waiting,

taking a stroll, a leafy road,
makes it seem I am free,
I know,
that I am faking

at times I just walk in my sleep,
looking for him everywhere,
and I know, I've fallen in love
other times I weep as I sleep,
tired of seeking his love,
I wish I didn't know, he isn't for me

He is my relationship - with every man!

When he was alive, he was an idea,
With his death, he became flesh,

I don't know how, but I love him more,
in death than ever in life!

I go over and over,
the life of him and I,

and all I find are dashes,
of something like love,

In death though, our life,
is all love coloured bright,

in life play sad violins,
in death glad accordian,

so, today i send this,
into a void,

with a prayer for reversal,
for love in death and life ...

Dear void,

He is my relationship - with every man!
