Chances are

The radio station
Played our song
Again and again tonight
And I cried
when I felt the ring
that you gave me
I've warn so long
No longer on my flesh.
I wish we lived in that music
Because each time I hear it,
it never changes.
I wish we hadn't changed...
Because we might still have
A chance...
And maybe, just maybe
I wouldn't be crying...
But I'd be in your arms
And you'd sing to me
And I'd be safe
From the rest of the world
Nothing else would matter
If only...
...if only

To love again

>The Heaven's couldn't provide me shelter
The winds of change couldn't spare me time
The endless nights didn't heal the wounds
Of what was lost, of what was mine

I've tossed about, lost and broken
Like a forgotten ship set to sea
The tides are strong, my anchor, broken
My will to exist ceasing to be

The sun shone no signs of forgiveness
It was by my admission this road I chose
To forgive and forget - to continue holding on
To the one I had loved so long ago

The passages of time have changed the soul
And in it's grace I've fallen astray
I've given in to that feeling inside
That begs and pleads for no hope to stay

I can't promise tomorrow, not even to myself
As tomorrow is not a promise one can keep
It's given at will, and I'll love again
So pure, so real, so deep

Unborn

That child inside still grows
With the same force of life as before
God himself couldn't remove that seed
Not even Heaven could even the score

I lost the child before I knew
The life that grew inside of me
Would give me so much more than
What I expected or prayed it'd be

In the mouthes of babes truth be told
That in this period so short of time
Once a thought, a body, a mind
Coursed through these veins of mine

I speak of regret in the hardest way
Then can be recognized by the human heart
To find that lost stollen child of mine
Where to begin? Where do I start?

I can not say more simply than this
That I take with me the greatest of pain
That fills this body with the blackest night
No sight be seen, no hope held in vain

White Knight

So you are my White Knight
And I, your fallen Queen
I bring you guilded offerings
A glass heart and broken wings

And how I'd love to hold you
To take you in these arms
And hold you ever lasting
And lure you with my charms

Our bodies tangled in passion
Of sexual lust and bliss
To hold you just one moment
To kiss you just one kiss

But I've found that I am placeless
Lost in a world of progression
I seek a peace that is priceless
In the arms of your posession

Hollow

I withdraw around you
I'm that hollow shape in the sky
To you, my tarnished light
Soothes the aching wind in this star filled night

*~*~*~*~

Only in silence you burn me with fire
our secrets disguised in violent memories
You're covered in black ivy flesh
Under the naked sky
You'll drink crimson brandy wine
And long for lonely rememberance of me

Summer Days

I long for those summer days
When a blanket was our gravity
When starlit nights were our sunrises
And the sweet caress of the wind our shelter

I cry for those winter nights
When a mug of cocoa was our liquor
When the fire light was our music
And your hands were my clothing

Where are those spring days
Where daisies filled our baskets
When blueberries melted against our tongues
And the words "I love you"
Brought me to a stand still

Where are those times when
You just called to see if I'd answer
And spend hours listening to each other breathe
And I found comfort
With your picture in hand

Piano

Her fingers frail on wrinkled hands
Played gentle on ivory keys
Her melody sang pure and sweet
If only for her to please
Twas once a melody of the sun
And brazen once was she
To have played a song, or maybe two
Upon hours only for me

Tentative ears, and twinkling eyes
Listened as she played on
And smiles passed across her lips
As the piano's voice rang out her song
But only for her did the piano sing
As her hands made music sigh
The old piano soon lost it's tune
And her music lost it's cry

Her fingers frail and cold with age
All too soon forgot
How to play a sweet melody
Her memory was distraught
But soon again music came
From a Grandchild young as she
Took her place before that old piano
As her fingers played the keys
