Ode to a Memory Soon to Remember

She left one morning, with the promise that she would return.
I've been counting the days I've come to speak her name.
I just keep dreaming, these days have come to end.

The sound of old guitars keep burning chords each afternoon.
Cause I've been waiting, empty with a heavy heart.
I've been left alone for far too long.

Seems only but a promise that you left behind

She left one morning, with the promise that she would return.
And I keep waiting, counting every day.
But I just wonder, if I'll get see her then.

Worries of Change

And these lightning lives we live.
They pass us so quickly now.
Speeding faster as we grow older.

How quick can they move on,
But I just wish stay behind.
And now... I've realised...

All can change, all can end,
So briefly.

What worries then should one have?
Just live what needs be felt.

And keep the memories for later on.

White Collar Guard

I lie there somewhere along the way…

Beneath the white pale clouded sky.

If I truly was there… If I truly be there…

My shadow would not matter,

My presence would not falter.

Oh but you shall see.

I wait still.

Unmoved. Stoic.

The stains of time move down on me.

They do so through paper,

Through pen and ink not bought with gold.

Blood.

White.

Missing the crimson taint.

Flowing down as rain down drain.

It has been now accepted.

I shall remain here.

Keeping the watch I was destined to guard.

Up the Chain

I made it up to here,
The race has just begun.

Ahead darkness falls,
Ignorant of light behind.

Even the chain of fear
Comes slowly to remind,

That night covers motion,
While shadows chase my steps.

Adjacent ally, tell me,
What mortal foil are you if any?

Can you follow?
Can you heed my words?

I will strike deadly,
I will fear trembling,
I will rise vigilant...


Oh dark silhouette,
Show me fate...
Show me mercy...

Drops of the Night Sky

Tell me, did the thrill sweep you off your feet,

Was it all you wanted to find?

Did your disappointment gave it all away?

Left you bound and broken I'm afraid.

I'm just a boy in a story.

A tale that covers much ground but little glory.

Tell me, did the chain broke your horse's vest,

Was it tightly pressed against its chest?

Did you expect something other than your own?

Truth be told, there's no star shining in this night,

But trust you'll be kept locked away in the dark to fight.

Under another night sky,

Different and less likely the one you want.
