A Dream Called Paradise

Weary travelers crossed a stream
And stumbled headlong into a dream
This they did not realize
They mistook it for paradise

Colorfully dressed colorful people
Wafting smells of baking bread
Pure tunes of innocent melodies
It was a world away from theirs

An angel danced up to meet them,
Her sister joined, a butterfly
They flitted, giggled, tossed their skirts
Invited the travelers to a jive

So potent their magic, the travelers danced
Their feet not stopping, they carried on
When a search party came the morning later
They could not fathom where they had gone

I shall tell you where they lie
It's in a dream called paradise
If you're lucky enough to find it, never wake
Reality is the bigger mistake
Much better it is to fly

Love Can Come When It May

Many miles have I traveled down unforgiving roads
Many faces have I looked into then walked onwards
Solitude seems so hearty, so unlikely its demise,
Company is a fleeting trend, for fleeting delights
This heart changes skins like a snake through the seasons
This mind changes the bars, redecorates its prison
I satisfy my senses with the tiniest of pleasures
Squeeze out every drop from my molten sun day
I am whatever and everything, I need
If love wants to come, love can come when it may

When Friends Become More

Whatever you do, stay the same
Don't praise me, don't raise me
Don't be sweet to me, don't meet me
Don't even acknowledge that I am there

Whatever you do, stay the same
Don't stay true, make me feel blue
Turn away, don't even stay
Make me believe that you don't care

Whatever you do, stay the same
I may not find you, but you will come
And you will cry, and you will deny
But what has been done will stay done

Whatever you do, stay the same
And maybe when the sun shines brightly again
We'll look past the pain, laugh 'never again'
And get back to having more fun

Whatever you do, stay the same
You are my friend, let us stay the same
Don't try to be more any more
Even though I love you as I have before
Never change

The Demon Born III

Jaded, deep, above it all
Cold, I locked the fire inside
Through a million imaginary loves
I would make the ideal love survive
Through skepticism, a one-sided glass
I saw you animals in your cages
Till I saw you looking back at me
You understood the words within these pages
I stepped away and looked you over
You calmly stepped out of your box
For the first time after the freeze
I found myself begin to thaw
Many questions came, the answers not
And notions of love are so airborne
They fly away now as I wave you goodbye
And recline, within my demon born

The Demon Born II

I met them, in droves they came
As cattle with a head for grass
With evil pleasure I watched them chase
Their tails asunder, their heads apart
I stood not with butcher's knife
For though to pulp I could reduce their ploys
Though I could scheme, I preferred to watch
And get amusement from my new toys
From them who played and hoped and were blinded
Sources of inspiration anew I found and formed
With these hands and in this mind
By pen I unleashed the demon born

The Demon Born I

There was a gleam in your untamed eyes
As you wickedly spoke in jest
'Let she who loves, know love lasts not,
Quick or slow, it dies a painful death'
And I knew each letter of every word
For it was I who put them there
It was I who chose to break your heart
By parting ways with it
I threw a stone against the mirror
An attempt to shatter your ugly form
Tear-wracked, blood shot with bags of coal
Your eyes testified to the demon born

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
I wonder whose wish you are
Is it someone just like me
Locked up in her little dream?
