How Does It

How Does It

How do you tell someone you leave that one
How do you react when someone leaves you

How can you feel love that never existed
How can you share the words you keep silent

How will you survive the loss of your friend
How will you come through the days of darkness

How does it feel when the world is collapsing
How does it look like when you tell the truth

How could it be that she left me without words
How could the sun come up after the dark night

How would you feel when I tell you are right
How would you dare to compare me to yourself

How is it to be next to you when you are close
How is it to can to will to do to could to would

Lessons Of Life

Lessons Of Life

Try to understand the lessons people teach
While looking unnecessary learn one and each

On the way to the future you meet so many
Many people who are there to teach you any

Embrace every word the world is telling you
Signs are there to lead you the way to truth

Fetch the butterflies flying through the sky
Attached with messages of love and one sigh

The world is there to make your own decision
All you will decide will be under supervision

Stay hungry for the lessons you will experience
Although stay focused on the thoughts of sense

Be sure you share the right amount of positivity
Avoid the always occurring faults of negativity

I thank my teachers in life for what they taught
Not only what they did also the way they fought

Strength From You

Strength From You

There you are standing in front of me
You show me what you want me to see

The strengths you possess are my powers
Deep desires mix with late night hours

Your words describe your feelings tonight
Helpless you are determined to give sight

Opening the eyes towards the great unknown
Gather with me in the garden where I grown

Understanding the difficulties you encounter
Feeling the feelings hidden behind the curtain

You make me find the words to write these words
Following the energy you have left in wounds

You left me wounded with love and your touch
Yet you cure the pains without talking much

Fearing no longer fears as you have shown me
Shown what the world has to offer as I do see

Unexpected you were there in my mind and soul
Trying to get near while closing the big hole

The holes of the past which came yet too big
Maintained by the beauty of the magic trick

Words are closing as there is nothing to tell
Seperating us no longer as we are this well

Burned By Desires

Burned By Desires

The sky is burning like the hottest fire
Clouds are disappearing longing to desire

Winds rushing by through the trees of life
The time has been stopped at five to five

Blue skies are finding their ways over land
The sun is there where it should have stand

Fires flying through the skies of disaster
Defending from the flames becoming faster

Faster than you can ever experience again
Birds are feeling the heat in their strain

People waiting to be burned by the fires
Created by overwhelming amount of desires

Endless Sorrow

Endless Sorrow

Your lips are closed although I can hear words
Unspoken words forming heartbreaking sentences

You do not have to use your tongue to speak
Without any defense open up to me being weak

Let me be your guard with my honest open mind
Fear has taken you over as it silently assigned

As you continue to talk with your mouth closed
The more I receive being noticed than supposed

You speak with your eyes open through the room
I hear the desperation as it will further loom

Come to me as you will ever do now and tomorrow
We waited too long to end this endless sorrow

Trust In Disguise

Trust In Disguise

While the tears fall down your silk cheeks
You try to understand the things you seek

Do you realise your past as the true lover
The one who stood ready as ever and forever

Shattered dreams come above your broken soul
Trust and health are falling apart in whole

One day you have shared your deepest emotions
Deeper than anyone has ever seen in devotions

Can you trust anyone who is willing to invest
Is there anyone who comes across your quest

There will be a long road ahead of your eyes
The destination is set yet still in disguise

Follow your heart to the one you can confide
Your deepest secrets but keeping them inside

My shoulder is the place to rest your tears
My arms are the safe place to fight your fears
