Perfect Strangers...

it's amazing how a person can spill the deepest feelings...the innermost thoughts...the darkest secrets with someone...how one can share the "true self" with another person...i used to wonder...can anyone really reveal one's self completely to any person?...bare one's soul?...and by doing so set one's self free...i realized one big thing...you can be yourself...however weird it may be...in front of a stranger...and pour out everything you always wanted to scream out but never had the guts nor the chance to...and it's so wonderful to see the reflection of yourself in someone else's eyes...in the eyes of this perfect stranger...

An afternoon of sad affairs

Shared in the hope of mending broken dreams

The constant struggle after simple pleasures

Finds us perfect strangers you and I

You know I hate to see you cry

And through the tears that fall like winter rain

You say you're tired of merely just surviving

We've so much in common that we're

Chorus

Perfect strangers singing perfectly in tune

From separate corners of the room

Held together by our hunger to get by

Perfect strangers you and I

Let's make a toast to no regrets

Wet down the painful sting of sweet love lost

Let evening find us whispering in our whiskey

Come and sit beside me for a while

You know I love to see you smile

And if perhaps you're only passing through

At least we tried to reach an understanding

And for just one moment we were

Perfect strangers singing perfectly in tune

From separate corners of the room

Held together by our hunger to get by

Perfect strangers you and I

Illusion...

we are submerged in this world with a REASON...in this place which allows FREEDOM of expression...we are kindred SOULS...yet, your answers are not for me to find...as you seek your own awareness, set your THOUGHTS free...unlock the VIVID sparkles of creativity...speak to me with words, about EMOTION in all its forms...let your soul break its silence...SOAR with me awhile in lucid BLISS...that I may learn and be inspired...let me have a glimpse to your MIND...don't be scared that you'll be judged...it's just one side of your DIMENSION...FEAR is only in our minds...let it not control your explicit imagination and put a LIMIT to your psyche...let your literally stream FLOW into infinity...it shall live long after it has been READ...as I was and am still...HERE...

Searching for a destiny that's mine 

There's another place another time.

Touching many hearts along the way

Hoping that I'll never have to say

It's just an illusion - illusion - illusion.

Follow your emotions anywhere

Is it really magic in the air?

Never let your feelings get you down

Open up your eyes and look around

It's just an illusion - illusion - illusion.

Could it be that it's just an illusion 

Putting me back in all this confusion?

Could it be that it's just an illusion now?

Could it be that it's just an illusion 

Putting me back in all this confusion?

Could it be that it's just an illusion now?

Could it be a picture in my mind? 

Never sure exactly what I'll find

Only in my dreams I turn you on

Here for just a moment then you're gone.

It's just an illusion - illusion - illusion.

Could it be that it's just an illusion 

Putting me back in all this confusion?

Could it be that it's just an illusion now?

Could it be that it's just an illusion 

Putting me back in all this confusion?

Could it be that it's just an illusion now?

If You Want to Love Me...

if you want to love me...

don't give me empty words and promises...they are not what i need...if you want to give me your love, then do so completely...do not lend but a part of yourself whenever time permits...i need love which primes for deeper connection...i want all of your affection...not what is left from past affairs...not that which you give when you please...i want a love that is whole...that which emanates from the soul...i want someone who is factually true...with a kind of love happily exposed...not concealed nor supposed...i haven't time to play hide and seek...nor to decipher what one refuses to speak...i can't have one who is not sure...one who lives on the edge and is obscure...i need a lover who is willing to give each facet of life he lives...if you can love me like this, i'll give back endless bliss...i will treat you like royalty in return for your loyalty...each day will begin and the night will end with more pleasure than you can comprehend...for without the weight of worry or fear, my passion flows like a river so crystal clear...love me with the depths of you...and i will give the kind of love such as you never knew...together, we can share the joy of life in all ways...to last for the rest of our remaining days...

Rescue Me...

i'm sitting here alone, staring into the darkness...i can hear the heartbeat hammering against my chest...i can feel the blood racing through my veins...they are as tangible as my pain...maybe if i cry myself long enough to sleep, i will get tired and blackout into a dreamless stupor...no more dreams...no more enticing dreams which turn into horrible nightmare...the most cruel nightmare which is "reality"...i tried to run away but it sought me out...it chased away all my wondrous fantasies...

i'm sitting here alone and helpless...crying out for you...

my world keeps on spinning...come and help me...

i'm drowning in my tears...save me...

i'm trapped in my pain...rescue me...

Rescue me from the mire

Whisper words of desire

Rescue me - darling rescue me

With your arms open wide

Want you here by my side

Come to me - darling rescue me

When this world's closing in

There's no need to pretend

Set me free - darling rescue me

I don't wanna let you go

So I'm standing in your way

I never needed anyone 

Like I'm needing you today

Do I have to say the words?

Do I have to tell the truth?

Do I have to shout it out?

Do I have to say a prayer?

Must I prove to you 

How good we are together?

Do I have to say the words?

Rescue me from despair

Tell me you will be there

Help me please - darling rescue me

Every dream that we share

Every cross that we bear

Can't you see - darling rescue me

~ Do I Have To Say The Words by Bryan Adams ~

Impassioned...

all emotions running loose and WILD

like a TEMPEST on a free-spirited ride

a raging wildfire on a rampage SPREE

a FEVERED soul in a passionate frenzy

seeking respite from the lull of tranquility

from the chill of PASSIVE serenity

ECHOES of muted screams resonated

drowning the SILENCE inside my head

Back To My World...

yes, I am back...I haven't really left you...I have been around, watching you...you are the reason why I still linger...you are a part of my world...I keep you there, holding you in a sweet embrace...I heard you calling out from your world...across time and space where meaning truly exists...I reached out to touch your aura...willing the vibes to flow through the realm of dreams into the galaxies beyond...I snatched up a part of your pain...feeding your heart with unwavering faith...infusing your soul with a fresh dose of hope...as always I do and will..from a distance yet not...like a never-ending shower of sparks...lifting your energized soul from the dark that bound you down...hold on tight, don't let go...use your triumphs and defeats to find your answers...carry on...I will never leave you...I'm holding you safe in my heart...be free...

Hush now, don't cry

Wipe away the teardrop from your eye

You're lying safe in bed

It was all a bad dream

Spinning in your head

Your mind tricked you to feel the pain

Of someone close to you leaving the game of life

So here it is, another chance

Wide awake you face the day

Your dream is over...or has it just begun?

There's a place I like to hide

A doorway that I run to in the night

Relax child, you were there

But only didn't realize it and you were scared

It's a place where you will learn

To face your fears, retrace the tears

And ride the whims of your mind

Commanding in another world

Suddenly, you hear and see

This magic new dimension

Chorus:

I will be watching over you

I am gonna help you see it through

I will protect you in the night

I am smiling next to you...in silent lucidity

If you open your mind for me

You won't rely on open eyes to see

The walls you built within

Come tumbling down, and a new world will begin

Living twice at once you learn

You're safe from pain in the dream domain

A soul set free to fly

A round trip journey in your head

Master of illusion, can you realize

Your dreams alive, you can be the guide but...

Somewhere I See You...

somewhere you are...and I see you...but cannot address you as one to another...the person drawn to a person...I lose my speech...am powerless for all my boundless strength...I am stricken still even as I strain...could I resist you?...am I won't to remember you limned in the skyline of this grey morning?...in forgetting, could I forget you?...would I force myself as one beholden to the sun for strength to yearn for the moon...when in yearning I would reap only the night?...I would deceive myself and pass off the lie as icing that easily dissolves in heat...but even in deception a morsel of truth remains...that you hold me hopelessly enamored...a lump of putty in your hands...

somewhere you are and I see you...and cannot forget you...images of you in the morning sun...the tempest...the rainbow arching across the sky after an afternoon of rain...this longing must cease...this fever must cool...this madness of hurt feelings...this thirst...the sum of what must be unfolded so the spirit might be calmed...

I see you and I become mute...and what has been told remains untold...somewhere beyond the gloom this ceaseless striving and I am near death for sore want...somewhere, beneath the scarlet lips I cannot reach even in my outstretched longing, is your presence...the cooling lake...the passing breeze...the blue sky touching the sapphire water across the horizon...

somewhere out of this madness is my fear...the loneliness of empty nights...dreams which have no end...and a fever of molten regrets...

somewhere I know I shall never find you...

In Pain...

agonizing streaks of unbearable CRIMSON hell
ripping across the living canvas splashed with PAIN
nerve-wracking caresses in relentless rhythm
TORMENTING and dominating the helpless brain
lying motionless in a bed of nails
past the threshold of mute INDIFFERENCE
the disconsolate CRIES seeking to alleviate
the pangs of TORTURE screaming to be heard
running wild in a tireless game of hide and seek
elusive SLEEP would be a welcome treat
slipping in and out of CONSCIOUSNESS
FLIRTING outrageously with the notion of death

My Light...

Darkness may spread its wings

And fear may creep within

I may shudder and tremble

As my courage wears thin

Terror may grip my heart

My dreams all taking flight

And all that may remain

Are nightmares through the night

I'll raise high the light

I'm holding in my hand

Let it shine along the path

Of my scared heart and mind

Love is the light

That radiates in my life

It tears through the dark

Like a razor sharp knife

Unspoken...

you came to my life...
quietly...simply...tenderly...
and the world stood still...

i could not say a word,
nor a single gesture showed
the feelings kept in my heart...

so i loved you in silence...
worshipped you from a distance...
dreamt of you from afar...

i wanted to say "i love you"...
i wanted you to know i care...
but i was afraid,
afraid you'd only laugh at me...

in silence then will i just love you...
in silence will i care...
because in silence
i found the fulfillment of my dream...

Destiny...

whatever it was that brought us together

must have been something special...

...something specially wonderful...

...something wonderfully beautiful...

or it wouldn't have succeeded so well

in bringing us together...

whatever it was couldn't have been Chance

for something as beautiful as our love

could only have been planned by Fate, not by Man.

and i shall keep and treasure this something beautiful

for a LIFETIME...

REBIRTH...

There was a time when darkness was a solace
And only the night can ensure the sweetest embrace
When the comfort of sleep was a welcome respite
From the memories lurking deep within my mind

There was a time life lost all its meaning
When my very existence was an excruciating pain
The unbearable days were slow and agonizing
No hope, no faith, no promises for better days remain

There was a time when giving up was the only answer
To forget and leave the all-consuming nightmare
When the lure of eternal quiet was the only solution
To a bleeding heart that lost all its will and reason

There was a time I died a humbling and poignant D-E-A-T-H
To find my way back to life in a rendezvous with B-I-R-T-H
