My mind wanders...

My Mind Wanders...

My mind wanders to horizons unknown,

Leaving no crevice unchecked, unturned no stone,

I search for the one I can call my own,

My safehouse, my hideout, my treasure, my home.

I wait, I wonder, I wish, I desire,

To find someone with the same passionate fire.

If I have to, I'll go through a fiery pyre,

Because true love isn't something you can get for hire.

There was something different in the air, when I saw her that night,

Even doing the right thing ever felt so right.

I promised myself that with all my might,

I was never going to let this girl out of sight.

So i flirted, I wooed her, I proposed, she said yes.

The moment was inexplicable, I must confess.

How I longed to see her in her wedding dress!

But I wasn't meant to be happy for long I guess.

She was gone, she was dead, I was broken, I was shattered,

Because now that she wasn't there nothing else really mattered.

I beat myself up till I was bruised and I was battered,

What else can a man do when all his dreams in the wind get scattered.

So I breathe, I exist, my existence is my bane.

It kills me a little everyday, it drives me insane.

But I continue to live, I'm numb to the pain.

Only waiting for my end so I can be with her again.

She Came To Me In A Dream Last Night.

She Came To Me In A Dream Last Night.

She came to me in a dream last night,

One I had after quite a while.

Have you had enough of staying away?

She asked me with a smile.

I was left speechless as usual,

Not knowing what to say.

How could I tell her that it killed me everyday?

The fact that I walked away.

She gave me a knowing look,

Like she could read my mind.

I was reminded of my stupidity,

Because that kind of love is hard to find.

She took me in her arms and said,

I miss you more than you know.

And I thought she gifted me her forgiveness,

Neatly tied up with a bow.

And then from my dream I awoke,

Reality brought me back on track.

Because after what I'd put her through,

There was no way I was going to have her back.

Fought with a friend

Fought with a friend.

If you ever ask me where I find calm and bliss,

I will not say my lover's arms, I will not say her kiss.

It's not in the lap of snowy mountains, nor a clandestine beach,

I will not find happiness in a place that's out of reach.

No hotel of the luxury kind, no holiday retreat,

The company of my friends, no place can hope to beat.

And the most troubling times, the nights that just won't end,

How can I get any sleep tonight, when I've fought with a friend.

To all of my friends who lifelong have stayed true,

Here's hoping I never have to spend a moment without you.
