Bring Me No Solace Brother..

If all that is broken can be made whole
All that is torn can be mended,
What say you of he human soul?
Sundered once, never can be whole

Brethren, they call themselves
None of my kin they are
False claims, you do not care
How can you ever?

Alone, but yet I see them
They surround me, laughing
Gaiety and joy spreads
And yet, And yet I am alone..

A third eye, a third wheel
From afar.. Yet so near
But never belonging
Ever different, never truly belonging

The cup is half full say you
It is half empty say I
But yet my cup runneth over
And I can drink no more...

The Ecstasy Of Pain

Smooth and slender, glowing in the dark
Cold and hard, unforgiving gleam
Creation, destruction, death and life
Sorrow, joy and unfulfilled dreams

Bleed, bleed bleed my blood
Flow from my veins sweet nectar of life
Gushing forth from open wounds
Red, crimson tide.... warm, so warm

Pale and pale.. Weaker and weaker
Drained of the infection, rotting rotting
Bones weary, heart stops, brain dies
Death close, cold.. so cold

Ah the beauty, wondrous joy
The shivers it sends up my spine
Pleasure beyond belief
Sailing through the heavens

Exquisite, this feeling, oh..
Like a lover's caress upon the cheek
Every inch throbbing with the feel
Turning me into a quivering mass

My eyes open, I look around
Heaven's gone, I'm back in my limbo
The only evidence of my shame
Lies beyond sight, visible to none, save me

I call it my vice, an addiction
It is my drug, the Persephone to my Hades
My flaw, my love, my hate, my destruction
I can never let go...

Of Treaded Paths And Dreaded Nights..

Take me away beyond those blue skies
Open up the night to me
The shadows of darkness conceal us
Unnoticed and unobserved by all

Lonely roads I must tread, dreary paths, walk.
Miles and miles I must travel, before I will find what I need
Millions of stars light my path, their lights distant but ever present
Fading.. Fading... Away into the morn, the sun dispels the night

Shadow games and death notes,
Blind dreams and tall hopes ,
The seduction of mystery,
The agony of loss

Tarnished days, guileless nights
Watching as the birds take flight
Into their roost to shelter from the dark
And still I walk and walk...

Awaiting the journey's end
Futile, but yet the only light in this dark
As I am wearied and forlorn, thus
The fork in this road.. Obstacle.

The Soliloquy Of Irresponsibility

I keep sayin I'll do it tomorrow
My promises never end
But I can't ever stick to them
I'm a free bird and I hate them leashes

You'll never see me again
I'm not gonna cry for you
I'm sorry but I'm not the one
I'm an eagle soaring through the skies
I can't ever be tied

I'm a rebel, I'm different
I can't be anything else because I gotta be me
I'm sorry but you and I won't ever happen
We'll never be the perfect match

Forever isn't for me, I live in the now
Tomorrow is too far away, I don't think it will ever come
I'll always be this way so don't worry bout me
Think of yourself and and your own tomorrow

I'll always be walking on a bed of sand
Close yet so far, I'll leave you behind
You know I won't ever say goodbye
I never know when I'll leave

I have a dream, I'm a never ending dreamer
Infinity isn't for me, I'm a lonely soul
Don't try to hold me back
I won't give up without a good fight

So, I'm gonna leave now
Away to a place I don't know
My life's line takes me there
And its gonna be only me in the end

RIP: Ode To A Dying Soul

I woke up in a daze, i knew not what came upon me
My body ached, i was weary to my bones
I felt the dusk nearing, the air became cold
There is a looming shadow upon my mind
I cannot see anything, alas i have become blind

My life crumbles before me, yet i notice it not
Is it truly me? from within i shrivel and rot,
Where have gone the carefree days of old?
Colours of hues copper, russet and gold?
Is my life fading? before my very eyes.

I wish to sleep, but it evades me
Peace eludes me, thoughts desert me
Pain oppresses me, dreams escape me
And yet, yet i cannot leave
Would this not end? condemned i remain?

Adieu i bid to all i have held dear
Goodbye i say to all that i have loved,
But Oh the fates conspire against me, for
All that I held dear care for me not
All i loved love me not.

Oh the agony! I wish to sleep in eternal rest
To leave, Yet, It is not time
Oh concqueror, merciful one, Help
I cry for mercy, Hear my plea!
Let me take my leave of this world.

My Favorite Things

Good hot breakfasts, dinners n lunches
No homework and studies to cause hunches
Nice packets of chocolates tied up in strings
These are a few of my favorite things

Lots of friends, fighting and laughing
Well spent nights with partying and dancing
A good bank balance to soothe down things
These are a few of my favorite things

When exams strike
When parents gripe
And grades go bad
I simply remember my favourite things
And then i don't feel so bad

Study and do well and get good placements
Don't fall sick and get any ailments
An ipod nano and a cellphone that rings
These are a few of my favorite whims

Shell shocked faces and confused classes
Headaches and stomach aches and broken glasses
We wont mention the complaints we bring
When we remember our favorite things.

When the grades come,
When friendships break,
When its time to leave,
I simply remember the good times I've had
And then i don't feel so bad.
