The Hands Of Time

Tonight
We Turn Back
The Hands of Time
And I Wish
I could move the Clock
Back Decades
To the Age Of Innocence
When Life was Love
And I was Prepared
To Live
Or Die for It
But
Time Changed Me
As much as It Changed You

Autumn

Summers Gone
And the Leaves Have
All but Fallen Off
Leaving Behind
Bare Limbs
And Barren Trunks
Sticking Out
Stiff in the Wind
No Flowers
Or Butterflies
And the Trees
This Autumn
They Turned So Vibrant
Before Shedding it All

Expectations

Even before I saw You
I smelled your Presence
The wind carried
Whiffs of your Scent
Eager to catch Your Glimpse
I was filled with Expectations
Then I realized
It's my Imagination
Playing Tricks
We Desire
What we Dream
And
We Seek
What We Desire

One End to the Other

There Flows a Stream
Behind the  House
Twisting and Turning
Tortuous like a Rope
Ends in a River
(Which) Becomes a Waterfall
From a Gentle Trickle
To a Loud Torrent
Crashing  the Rocks
Plundering Everything
Collects Back into a River
(Which) Branches
Into Streams Again
And So the Story Goes
From One End to the Other

Sitting in the Park

It was the Blue of the Sky
Wrapped Around
The Red Trees
In the Park
That Made Me Think of You
The Color of Your Eyes
The Soft Smile.
And though Years have Passed
Yet on a Lonely Evening
When I sit on the Park Bench
I Hear Soft Music
I am at Peace
Long after We are Gone
Our Love Will Survive
And Every Leaf That Springs
Turns Red and Falls
Shall be the Testament

This Time

This Time
When I have You in My Grip
I Will not Let You Slip Through
I have all My Ducks in a Row
It  has Always been Me
That Faltered
Did the Wrong Things
At the Right Time
When the Opportune Moment Arose
I Always Found a Reason Not To
But This Time
I have Made up My Mind

For You

For a  While
It was Gone
But now it's back
This Pain
And all the Anxiety that it packs with it
But
Having gone through it before
Or Rather It having gone through me before
I must say I look forward to it
I kinda missed the Head Rush

Addicted to You

When I look in Your Eyes
I see Pure Love
No Pretense
Nothing Inhibited
And That is the Reason
I come Back
Again and Again

Wisdom

Sitting Down
I am Reading
Analytic Science and Whatever
Evolving My Brain
But
The More I Analyze
The More I Rationalize
The More Tangled it Gets
I Guess
When the Buddha Sat Down
For Umpteen Years
Under the Tree
He Stopped Thinking
Untangled His Brain
And Saw the Light

Bonded Together

I Want it All Back
The Sun and The Moon
Clear Skies and The Clouds
Still Want to Look up
In Amazement at the Milky Way
I Remember the Night
We sat out Together
Counting Stars
Till We Fell Asleep
And Woke up to the Sounds of
Waves Lapping the Shoreline
Bonded together
In Carefree Love

My Rhythm

The River Flows
Down the Hills
Through the Valley
And Into My Heart
I sit there Watching
A Soothing Feeling
I want to Be Calm
Gentle as the River
The Winds
The Storms
May Shake Me
But When the Skies are Clear
And the Stars are Shining
I will Always find My Rhythm

A Crime was Committed

I came to You
Off my Own Free Will
Bared My Heart
My Darkest Secrets
And My Desires
You Took
All of That
As a Sign of Weakness
And Shrugged Your Shoulders
Not Knowing
That it took
A Lot of Courage to Lay it All Out
Now
That the Tables have Turned
I see You Hesitate
Step Forth and Back
For You Know
That a Crime was Committed
And You have to Own up to It.

When Time Stood Still

What is It that Drives Me
To Write About You
It must be the Idealism
That Defines Our Relationship
The Love
In Your Eyes
The Soft Curls of Your Hair
The Grace in Your Strides
The Memory of those Fleeting Moments
When Time Stood Still.

Don't Look Back

It is a Long and Winding Road
To Nowhere
That's What Life Is
You can Discover Yourself
Or You Can Forget Yourself
Achievements
Desires
Fall by The Way Side
Don't Search for Anything
For Everything is a Moving Target
If Something Finds You
Enjoy the Ride Together
And Move On
If You Look Back
You will not Find
Anybody Waiting .

The End of it All

Out on this Dark
Lonely  Road
Travelling at Breakneck Speed
I am leaving Everything Behind
Fame, Money, Love
God and his Holiness
Even You and I
There will come a Point
On This Highway,
Where Everything is Blurred
Crashing through the Horizon
This Thing called I
Shall Merge into Nothing
And Become Nothing.
