Lyricist - Author, Poet Suzanne Mondoux - SONGS / POEMS OF THE DAY June 2020

Hey you, ya you, little fancy face on the sideline Come out from where you are and sing with me Come out from where you are and dance with me Get those little feet tapping and your voice out in the crowd

Fancy face so wise and silent, I see you, so nice You’ve taken all you can and come so far, come dance and sing with me Let those things go, just for today Fancy face you’ve paid your dues to society You’ve paid your dues to you

Whoa, La, La, La, La Whoa, La, La, La, La Hmm, Fancy face in the crowd of one No more in handcuffs, no more chains around your feet Oh fancy face, look around, the world is at your feet

It’s a new day for you, so it’s a new day for me You rejoice, I rejoice, we all rejoice You made a new friend today Fancy face so melancholy once

Now look at you, writing quill in one hand, your heart in the other Your words glide, you dropped all shoulds and must All doubts gone All heart fancy face

Whoa, La, La, La, La Whoa, La, La, La, La Hmm, Fancy face in the crowd of one No more in handcuffs, no more chains around your feet Oh fancy face, look around, the world is at your feet

All heart fancy face Hmm, La, La, La Fancy face

Filling the space of time with logic What goes up, must come down Bigger eats smaller, or something like that Stronger dominates the weak, or something like that Where am I in the grand scheme of this world

I’m afraid of what’s below me I’m afraid of what’s above me Which part of the food chain am I What part do I play in the food chain What am I to the food chain

Is my life that linear, am I truly linked from one to another Is life so defined by the arrows showing the flow of thing, showing my flow Does this food chain cause me to step out of line What happens when I do Does the structure collapse Do we starve

Food chain, a human invention Design by default for understanding, for making sense of something For making sense of something not linear in nature, by nature So complex the heart of humans, so fearful to knowing What lies in these discoveries, what chants to us what we can’t see Food chain of heaven and earth, one way or the other Life for life, is this so Is this so in all forms of life

It’s a beautiful day to know food without chains It’s a magnificent day to know life without chains It’s a splendid day to know love without chains

How easy to understand this food chain of life What wonder it brings to big and the small What clarity it brings to strong and the weak

Climb your highest mountain one chain link to the next Take life when you need Give life when you know

Is this food chain too simple it gets confused with complexity Which arrow do I follow, which arrow shows me where I’m to flow Which life do I take today What do I give to life today

What is there to say about this generation of the world we love Is it tearing itself apart from all that is good and kind Are we a fading dream of humanity in the world we created Do we listen to each other or is this a fading dream In whose defense do we stand for and look to what we want

I’m just one human of this generation trying to live for me and you In a memory I’ve created for a world we can hold hands What is said about the love we destroy for wants and rights I’m just one human of this generation grasping onto to my dream Can this be so this life we created for one another

Man, woman and child of this generation let go the shots between us Oh what on earth have we done to this generation Oh what on earth have we forgotten for our future generations Generations will look back at us and say what Do we bow our heads is shame or in honour

I’m just one human of this generation remembering the love of me and for you But to my shame and my regret I am not perfect in humanity I’m wearing my heart on my sleeve for you and me, to love one another Can this be so, we bow our head in honour to the generations to come Or are we fools to remain far from glory

Do we speak of the good of humanity, what we know is good Can we show the generations to come the good in you and me, we know exist We know what lives in our hearts that desires to be seen, no matter the fears Dismantle this fear, lets love openly, lets love for love of life No need to walk so fast in fear of what we imagine will come down on our heads

Generations to come, forgive us for we know not what we are truly made of Generations to come, love us for all that we came to be, for seeking love for one another Generations to come, we bow to you in honour

It was but one kiss on a summer night You and me on beach, I was in heaven Naked under the stars you smiled at me Ooh, Ooh, Hmm, Hmm

You know what I like about you my love No matter darling, you smiled I kissed you for a long time Too many words darling, you smiled You whispered in my ear, I love you Ooh, Ooh, Hmm, Hmm

The whisper of my life, I love you darling I kissed you even longer, for the rest of my life Whispered I love you, hmm, La, La, La, music to my ears Whoa, La, La, La, Hmm, La, La, La, La, La, La Hmm, whisper to me again

It was but one night for the rest of my days So much in love, so much alive You carried my heart so tenderly, like a whisper I floated Whisper of love carried me away Whispered I love you, hmm, La, La, La, music to my ears

You’re my creator, how life grew in me for you, with you A whisper of love is all it took to find me, to know me I walk in your footsteps to know you I stand beside you to love you I whisper I love you to shine Ooh, Ooh, Hmm, Hmm

The whisper of my life, I love you darling I kissed you even longer, for the rest of my life You always looked my way Hmm, how wonderful your love in my heart

Whispered I love you, hmm, La, La, La, music to my ears Whoa, La, La, La, Hmm, La, La, La, La, La, La Hmm, whisper to me again

It was a dark night, no moon, no stars, all alone Only my vampire to accompany me into the night So quiet he was, so lovely his smile His gentle touch full of life, he took me in his arms

He questioned my existence, he asked me why So calm his words, such delight his scent He seduced me into my reciting the accounts of my life I left nothing untouched

Interview with my vampire on this night He held me close to a single heart felt light I was light as a feather in his arms Hearing my story he took my life

A moment Divinity Sensuality Hmm, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa Hmm, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

Interview with my vampire, my only audience A single soul to witness me A moment with the keeper of my life A divine friend at my side A sensual knowing to feeling my existence Hmm, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa Hmm, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

Interview with my vampire is near its end The glow of dawn is soon upon us Gently my feet touch the ground He walks with me into the sunlight

Wow, the wind in my hair and the sand between my toes What a life, this feels really good Life on the beach and the wind in my sail, oh what a life This feels really good Come join me and see what I mean, let your hair down Sing with the whales

Oh ya, Whoa, Whoa, Oh ya, hmm, La, La, La, This feels really good This sooths my soul Crashing waves and birds songs Oh what a life this is This feels really good

No more fools to say what’s so I could have had this life a long time ago No looking back, no regrets I’m on my beach with the sun on my face and the sea air in my lungs Oh what a life, this feels so good Oh ya, Whoa, Whoa, Oh, ya

I sit on the rocks with my guitar and sing along I sing along with the birds and the whales Oh what a life, this feels so good Hmm, Hmm, Whoa, Whoa, Whoa I sing with the ebb and flow of life How sweet this is, it feels so good

A life well lived, I’ve come to see I’ve come to know and feel so well This feels really good to be in the swing of life This sooths my soul Crashing waves and birds songs Oh what a life this is This feels really good

What’s this balance I search for Rocking left to right, front and back Is there a middle, is there an end I come to find I cradle

A starting place, to stand from, to hang from I support myself within a protective frame A planning device sought in the fabric of life My cradle, I hold myself carefully I put my body in the safety of my own hands

I’m to nurture myself My soiled life, I wash my soul I’ve disgraced myself Hmm, whoa, whoa, whoa Hmm, whoa, whoa, whoa

Cradle of life in a place with no sun, moon, or stars I rest my head on the lap of my God I seek forgiveness that’s nowhere to be found Cradled in the hand of my God, I withstand the silence Hmm, whoa, whoa, whoa Hmm, Oh, Hmm, Oh, so loud my silence

Cradled so far from home, I stand naked all alone My soul exposed, all to see and poke No where to hide, no where to turn Cradled so far from me I’m to nurture myself, it seems I’m to put me in the safety of my own hands

I cradle to ease my pain So tight this corner I’ve made for me I seek my own love I feel God’s hand, my hand it seems So gentle my touch, my hand cradles my heart Hmm, whoa, whoa, whoa Hmm, Oh, Hmm, Oh, with ease I’m in my silence

When a soul of troubles lingers in the shadows so life begins to its end Yet a single moment can bring a change to a wondering man seeking what was once his How soon this can be - so close they say and yet so far

Hmm, hmm, whoa, whoa A Wandering soul that seems to know where it goes The fans shout out, but the light dim to one onlooker The soul of troubles, the wanderer Catch me in the sound of drums Bing bang so silent the captured moment

Hmm, whoa, whoa, ha, hmm In so a temptation to consume my soul away Someone holds me close to some sense of sensibility For a time all is fine For a life all is pain

A soul of troubles My friend so long gone I cry for him Alone, hmm, I cry for him A soul of troubles Take me home my friend

She’s a new friend, yet familiar Together the old and the new How to see as one So fine I found her Someone else all new and yet familiar

A soul of troubles Bless me this night for my consumption, I’ll leave for just a moment, for a new blissful feeling of a soul of troubles Hmm, ya, Hmm, whoa, whoa

A soul of troubles

For you my friend

I hold myself in the vision of where I’ll land I listen to the rustling of the trees for what I want to learn So fast this life from years to years How is it we live day to day instead My finest hour was the landslide of what was said and done

So fine this moment to so love you All came crumbling down on you and me It was a very fine day All light soaked in sorrow and doubt Our landslide moment to me and you Hmm, so grand this day, never to forget

Are you ready to cease all sleep and dig our bodies out of this mess This is no party, this is shaking it up instead to rise out of our ashes Hmm, so grand this landslide moment of our life Hmm, Whoa, Whoa, Hmm Reach high, scratch your way out, do what you must

Keep that fire in your gut, seek for no freedom This is a tricky place we find you and me Buried deep beneath the rubble of painful words So we cried, so what, what a moment Hmm, so grand our landslide, Hmm, Whoa

Too deep to reach in and remove us from us This world filled with so many of us Together we crouch in our wreckage Ruined forever in this mess Hmm, so grand this landslide moment of our life

Fragments remain and rough stones filled the space Hmm, so grand this landslide moment of our life So our dream has come true Real to each other, no more painful words Hmm, so grand this landslide moment of our life

It can happen to me, it can happen to you Hmm, oh what a story I’ve created for the sake of love For the sake of hiding my shame, to rise from a place I know no more All visible features no longer appealing Can I alter the landscape of my life Is the design set in stone, any room for ornamental features Any room for beauty

In the manner in which my landscape is set Can I turn the page to a wider and higher prospect All I want to do is ride away from here No more broken heart, broken life Look out for me, I’m all around So vast the scene of my existence Scenery of such a landscape, loosing all control

Ya, scenery of a broken life, hmm, ya, hmm A painting in your view, so fine the lines Hmm, a landscape to avoid, a general situation easily found Hmm, whoa, ya, hmm, look out for such a place The range of mental anguish is vast and wide Hmm, dare to explore, hmm, whoa, watch where you step

I may have no soul for such a place This landscape is no place for the faint of heart Beware where you tread, so easily I can find you here Hmm, ya, look out for the horizontal lines of this landscape Make this land look better with fine stroke of your brush Hmm, whoa, whoa, ya, can I start over, a blank canvas

The collection of forms, imprint of society, which group do I belong So descriptive, impressionistic, and abstract, I’m lost in such a landscape Can I break free from such spatial imprisonment Am I just fine art, a photograph, or both Am I cognitive or the observer of the process of this landscape Hmm, whoa, ya, what of this landscape that keeps me

I’m a dreamer of the friend in you Hmm, my friend, I believe in you, I see your light I’m hopeful of you, despite that needle in your arm Despite that white line of torment at your fingertips You’re my friend, my optimist of life

Hmm, my optimist of life, a friend of all friends I know you are the best of all possible worlds Even when I found you dead The good in you came back to life The good always prevails, no matter your demons Whoa, Hmm, Hmm, you’re my optimist of life

You want it all to end, but your light shines bright You’ve come and gone, earth to heaven you seem to travel The optimist in you refuses to say goodbye You want to come clean, you shame away No matter my friend, my optimist of life Hmm, Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

You shame away for what seems the only place to look Oh my friend, my optimist of love, of friendship Today is a new day, let it be so Tell me where to find you, heaven or earth Hmm, Hmm, Whoa, Whoa, La, La, La Where you decide I hold out my hand Always my friend, always my optimist of love and life Your friendship is life

Take me back to a time where I knew who I was What happened to the moon, the stars, and the sun There’s no salt left in the sea

How come the days have changed How come my reflection is gone How come the passage of time is but a whisper in space

Where have I been to find myself here Is this all there is in this space and time There is no more tomorrow

How come this is so How come there are no more places to go How come birds don’t fly anymore

All the ice is melted There’s too much water but no more ships There is no more wind

How come flow of life ceased How come momentum stagnant How come air suffocates

My galaxy is gone to a far away place I looked onto its last glimmer of light So magnificent, such delight

How come no more day and only night How come all sound silenced How come the Milky Way fades away

In a place I once knew so well Where’s my reflection, where’s my footprints What is this place now my home

How come I seek the wonder where I am How come I seek to know who I’ve become How come I fear to know who I am

For so long I was all that I could be to me and you I walked in my shadow into a world unknown I found joy in what I imagined I jumped and I caught me

Catch me in the highest falls I caught me So strong I was in free fall of my life Catch me is my finest act I walked on stage into the light

So fine the audience waiting for me I smiled with delight Should I stumble and fall Catch me is reserved just for me

In my free fall like a feather I floated here and there I look beyond and above to places I never gone Catch me is reserved just for me should I fall When I fall I look forward to the day I catch me

No sitting quietly in the days to come The audience await to witness the grandest show of their life I look beyond and ahead to a place I know so well What a splendid moment it will be when I fall and catch me

Trick of the trade is to know ahead where you’ll stumble Trip and fall with glee and stand on your feet with grace Catch me is reserved just for this moment of me I’m reserved just for me in my fallen day for the grandest days

I look ahead and all around to places I once was I caught me in my free falls, so fine my stumbles I tripped and fell on many of occasions Catch me is reserved just for me

Oh ya this ship has sailed, again Ya I see this now, again What about a second chance with no looking back Oh why is this the way for me What about what’s left in me

I see the shadow of my life Never have I been free What about what I want to see What about what I want to feel

I’ve come and gone so many times I lost count I charged in so willingly so fearlessly It’s time to arrive at this one thing called love Whose loving me no more

What about a second chance at life What about some answers to my questions What about the fool you take me for What about the cracks in floor

I had it once you know I wasn’t always so alone I had it all it seems It seems easily to let it all go

I crashed the car, head on, so easy it was What about that all to be so easy What about that ship that sailed What about that What about that I ask again

I call out, no one answers What about this silence What about this voice in a void What about this place I find myself

What about that What about that ship that sailed

It’s where I want to be, oh ya my baby When you turn away you leave me cold I turn away when they speak of you, my love So close we were without a doubt Now it’s an old story

What about love in this story Does love get old What’s made this so What part of me grew too old for you

I’m but a young soul, young at heart What about love in this part of me, part of you And when you walk away you never look back I’m standing there naked and alone on the shores of life Absent in a place forced to go, to live alone

What about love at the end of our story Baby there’s no need for an ending in sight Not long ago I was all you wanted, said you loved me What happened to our story, what about love No glimmer of hope for you and me, you say quietly

What about love in this story of you and me Somewhere in there something remains Something alive to what was said and done I love you baby, even when you turn away All that is you remains with me Never too old a story, its all about love

What about love in the history of our life So clumsy at times, so fun at times, so nice at times It’s always been you and me For today can we pretend there is no yesterday and no tomorrow Can we be in this story of love for now

What about love never gets old What about love like no other for me and you

You’ve never changed your mind And I remember then so well, you stole my heart You’re love was crazy, I couldn’t get away from you I was the happiest fool, it was the start of my honeymoon

I lived such a honeymoon all alone Here and there you come along I was so young a fool in love, in my honeymoon of you So sweet this was, I could see nothing else

I’m gonna grieve you baby, I know this In my honeymoon of you, so sweet this is I love you so, ya, hmm, ya, hmm, whoa, ya It’s such a shame I was so young, I’m gonna grieve you In my honeymoon of you

I saw you walking down the street You looked at me, you smiled I was in my honeymoon of you, I grieved you all over again You turned and walked away I’m older now, I’m still in my honeymoon of you

I listened long enough your voice in me I know it’s time I move on but I still grieve you I’m in the honeymoon of you Someone like you doesn’t make it easy to leave I was so young, I love you, I know I was a like a puppy to you Yet you stole my heart

I was in my honeymoon of you I love you so, ya, hmm, ya, hmm, whoa, ya I see you time to time I walk away, I’m older now I still grieve you, my honeymoon of you

I have a wife now My children ask me about love I tell them of the honeymoon of you I see you see me from time to time, and smile I let the honeymoon of you in me subside I was so young, I loved you so Honeymoon of you

Hey baby come here next me I swear I don’t sleep around, anymore I inhale our burning smoke Smouldering is the grey dusty mist Be on fire next to me

So lost in the fog without you Up in smoke is my soul when you’re not next to me Something blinds me, so obscure this new place I come find you, I want to inhale your perfume The burning smoke in my throat, without you An never did I lie to you

Oh ya my truth so clear I swear no more truth of me I’m all yours, no more smoky mirrors to shield the truth Darken in the light beats me to the core So lonely without you I don’t want to run free without you

Oh baby, the burning smoke in my throat Ashes of my truth, vapours of my truth lingers My body up in smoke I’m but a pile of ashes without you Oh baby, the burning smoke of my truth in my throat I swear no more losing my temper Can you please come next to me

Oh baby, the burning smoke of my truth in my throat I see it does not serve me well To burn so much, I beg you baby come next to me My heart is in flames I’m reduced to ashes without you

Don’t let me smolder alone Oh baby, the burning smoke of my truth in my throat There’s no sunshine in this grey glow of my soul Of what I’ve done to you I’ve withered away on my own truth I wanted to be free, and so I am with the burning smoke in my throat

Oh this world gives me so much In change and meaning of my life I search for more transformation It is my source of my understanding Hmm, I’m the dragonfly in my dreams

In my realization of my world in my dreams I’m the dragonfly in my dreams A single meaning, a single change I believed I was all but a wandering soul until you came along A sign of an angel to bring me love

Hmm, oh ya, I’m the dragonfly in my dream I absorb your light, I beg you to shine through me I’m drawn to you, to me My dragonfly you remind me to reflect light and love Hmm, whoa, whoa, ya, my dragonfly Oh this world gives me so much

Oh this paradise all created just for me I begin my life in water and end my life near by So gentle you are, never careless with my touch I’m the dragonfly in my dream Never break the skin Oh this world gives me so much

Oh, Oh, Oh, great gentle creatures of this world Dive into your emotions for fuller understanding of yourself Your personal journey as the dragonfly of this great world Change direction quickly, and fly without any effort In this beautiful world were creating

I hear you when you’re in my presence Your life, my life is very short So when you take the time to be with me I know I know, hmm, it’s because it’s very short My dragonfly, I won’t waste your time I won’t waste my time for this beautiful world we’ve created

I am the master of my way Others are drawn to you, you remind us of light and love In a dark world we created into a beautiful world we create I’m the dragonfly in my dreams to shine through light and love Hmm, oh, oh, you land on me

Oh, such luck, but love of inspiration You’re my sign of caution, something my dragonfly is hidden from view In this world we created, what truth is kept from me and you We come from water, our life is short, and we return Hmm, my dragonfly in my dreams For this beautiful world created for me and you

I ran to you, I ran to you I was carried by the wind I had to ride fast to keep up It was all said and done in a blink of an eye

Ride fast you said, ride like the wind It was all I could do to keep my feet on the ground Let your hair down, and ride like the wind Ride fast into the hills

Ya, it’s what I did, ride fast into the darkness There was no afterlife after you and me Cette amour, c’est la fin de moi Hmm, whoa, whoa, whoa

Ride fast into paradise A dash of demise with no exit Remnants of old graves I saw you standing there

The engine died in silence The tomb exposed for all to see Ride fast into eternal rest I sleep with the others, as you pass over

Carry me away with the parting of what was Ride fast to the end of our road I vanish into oblivion Without a doubt, ride fast you sealed my faith

In the beginning there was light Coming together the gates of love opened It was the birth of a new creation I revved those gears, ride fast was life

From the start to the finish line, all I did was ride fast Tragedy of this tale Cette amour, c’est la fin de moi Hmm, whoa, whoa, whoa

How well I’m known for my bad quality and deeds I was wicked to the bone Deprived of all rights as a consequence of my crimes Overnight I was infamous, you saw to this

Notorious for such a life I lived All punishable by serious penalty Infamous without a doubt A reputation of the worst kind, you saw to this

The infamous road you set before me Inflamed with lust you made infamous proposals to me No near repulsed, I took you in my arms No matter how shocking

No one would care to be as you and me Infamous is reserved for a select few Scandalous affair of the heart Shameful journey of the lonely

Corruption of the heart Foul stench of my soul Heinous my mind My heart seeks redemption for an infamous soul

A dignified life can be in my line of sight Glorious is this day A good, kind, and gentle day Me, infamous, you saw to this

Defame my image of who I am Malign me to others, you see to this Praise me, you assured this never be Infamous me, commend me for seeing you I see to this

It’s so beautiful the day you bring to me All the glitter of the sun, the moon, and stars It’s a celestial world you create for me I love you so in this dreamy world of what all I desire, all is wonderful For a the sake of simple pleasure and joy, it’s so easy to try Our world of celestial glory for just today, a wonder of a day

Feel of the wind in my face in place a slap, for taking my life for granted How much a fool I was in a place of a celestial creation so easy to attain I’m made from heaven and earth for the sake of a today in this world It’s meant to be deep in my heart, I feel it so easily The celestial feeling of turning all round at the speed of light Catch a falling star, you see it’s so easy

It’s what’s written on the wall, this celestial world for you and me It’s meant to be that way, all the way in the stormy days The calm before the storm, clashes of the stars What glow it gives to our celestial world Living for today, for a simple day of pleasure, to be free even in its audacity Look at in straight on, it’s made in heaven and earth for you and me

Take in all your misery for a pure celestial moment of living free No chance taken, no life taken, no life to give, it’s so plain Tell you so what’s meant to be in a celestial word Written in the stars for all to see All shame and humility expose Naked before the Gods, for all to see For you and me, on display, no turning away

Catch a glimpse of this world we’ve created Shining bright in a celestial glow, a piece of your heart All to hurt, to kick around, take a brand new kick at life Kick back and make a brand new start No soul to give away for free Make a brand new start in a celestial world created for you and me Just for you, it’s ok, take what you create and make something of you You are the celestial world we are waiting for

I say take it, it’s a piece of my heart No one to remind me of all that’s forgotten Time and time again, all it is is time What you made of it, what power you struck What life you gave to days of your time

All it is is a piece of you Some friends remain, that’s what friends are for You forget this from time to time Friends remain, that’s all it is, what you feared you lost

Fear not my friend, no lack of time for us You saw to your suffering of those days gone by No matter your pain, what you found ugly, friends remain All it is is this my friend All it is for the time that remains Watch for the signs of the ticking clock of goodbyes All it is is friends in need of friends

Stay close to them, they’re your home All it is is remembering the good times All it is is this life of friendship To need for love and affection, no shame in this All it is is a friend in need

You find yourself in the deep end, I put out my hand Take all your worries and your stress into my hand Come away from nothingness, knowing only loneliness All it is is a friend in need All it is is friendship from time to time No need to fall so far, say what you need to a friend All it is is a friend in need

If I said I loved you would you stay a little longer What do I need to say for this life to go on You said you were happy with me All I can take is that you stay Tell me what to say, what you need Why quiet for so long and then you leave

All I can take is nothing less than this What’s the tragedy that’s causing you to leave I’ve said and done everything you asked of me Now you’re leaving me for no one else Where did I go wrong before this day

All I can take is just one more moment Nothing to lose by staying for another day What’s taking you so far away You stopped smiling so long ago, is it really me What lies have you told me, what lies have you told yourself All I can take is the truth you conceal so well No more hiding in yourself to run away

Did I ever have a chance with you Was there ever going to be a forever All I can take is the dream I saved for you and me Was I foolish to take this further than a dream All I can take is to wake up to a reality you want for me and you Sing to me like you used to, all I can take is a whisper of your voice

All I can take you’ve taken away What’s left in this life so far from you All I can take is no more tears You made me smile once All I can take is the joy of you

What if it’s the right time to start loving one another? What if it’s the right time to feel compassion for all life? What if it’s the right time to know love, to know kindness? What if it’s the right time to stop blaming the past, blaming others? What if it’s the right time to be accountable for your choices, your actions? What if it’s the right time to say I’m sorry? What if it’s the right time to listen to one another? What if it’s the right time to see the hurt and pain you cause another? What if it’s the right time to walk in another shoes for just a day? What if it’s the right time to speak no lies to yourself and to others? What if it’s the right time to love and appreciate our differences? What if it’s the right time to Coexist with Animal Beings? What if it’s the right time to know Mother Nature? What if it’s the right time to learn the language of another? What if it’s the right time to learn the culture of another? What if it’s the right time to listen to someone’s story? What if it’s the right time to see and come to know the heart of another?

What if…?

Oh so strong, sing to me the tale of your story Of you, skilled in the ways of love, I breath so easily with you I, a wanderer, believed this my fate to the end of time After you saw me, oh so strong, I heard you sing, for me For me, I saw the land from which you came Weathered by many bitter cold nights The long lonely days of the recklessness destroyed little bit of sunlight

Oh so strong, sing to me the tale of our story Of our adventures, fill the air with the greatest song there is Begin with the day on the steps Headlong in the mist of destruction Oh so strong, sing to me of our home, you my love I cling to the memory of the immortal and most beautiful you I crave you for my own, no other fills my soul

And when the years and seasons of our life come to an end At what point in time the trials of our life will glow or shame Oh so strong, sing to me those loving words of your heart Tell the Gods to be kind with us, we were so strong I lingered delighted at the way you sing in the cold and raging sea Oh so strong, my words carry your tone

Oh so strong, how mortal our tale of love May the Gods forgive us, heal our afflictions and our failings The suffering of the heart in a land so far lost Oh so strong in sight of our doom laying in wait for us Sent down from the heavens the seal of our fate In the face of darkness the day has come

No friendly advice, what strange remarks escape the Gods There is no mortal life to give us hope Oh so strong you, sing to me the tale of our story Open the sky and let the Gods fall to their knees Let them bear witness to your beauty, to our love story Oh so strong, the mortals of this life

In my me I see what’s meant to be I go with the flow and feel the way to me I know what to do in me for this day Yesterday vanish, today a glow In my me, I find my way in me

So troubled I used to be, away from me Hmm, how that felt to be so far away In the shadow of a never ending day Hmm, in my me, it was no place to be Hmm, what a mystery this used to be

In my me, what a clever way to be In the being of me, in the sight to me Hmm, what a place to be, a place to see Now being me, I could not help consenting to me Being me So I went down to this depth of my soul Where I found all of me weeping in despair

Oh, in my me just the way I want to be My face wet with tears, all I knew was weeping Oh, in my me, what joy I seek But tell me now of this place I seek In my me, when I hear this, my mind screams We leave you here, when you say these words

Oh, in my me, hmm, fearing my hands at rest Fearing the rough edges of my tongue speak to me I found me on the edge of the cliff, sobbing In the loveliest of mortals I stood before me In my me, I consent to be me Feeling the pang I rejoiced Oh, in my me what pain I consent to be me

It’s so easy to write words on a page To let it flow with little meaning The writer’s quill is but the tool of a writer’s kit So soft the feather on the spine Hollow shaft isn’t for hollow words

Careful to the writer of these words Headliners of spiky words of a spiky reader Tranquil the folds of the words The wind threading the sequence of quill The formation of so many words, with no spine

Quill the writer’s kit No two the same, no two desires The writer’s words lead with its passions Not much to say, but plenty to write about The quill holds me in my vision of what I want Of what I want to say, not so easily

Carry me away on the wings of a bird Giving me a quill to express my new vision No simple words from hollow shafts It’s weightless pressure in my hand The quill of life carries me away

Cramming words on paper Cramming words in your thoughts Headliner’s delight, careful of such simple alluring words Writer’s kit holds no poison Simple words dripping from a feathering shaft Add new words to the quill The magic box of the writer’s kit

For so long I waited by the bay for you to come home The days were short, the nights were long So lonesome the drifting years apart I remember your face, you waved goodbye and sailed away

This bay is us you said the night we met It was our beginning and our end The worry of life unlived, no wind in my sail The children are grown, they to sailed away

I watch our sunset every night, I see you smiling in the distance So close to home, yet so far, we survived most storms Our last goodbye, a child unborn This bay is us you said that night

This story told to me so long ago Mother too has sailed away My only hope and dream, to know this bay To know such love The wind in my sail with salt on my lips So grand my life you left me

The bay of life, the beauty of its tides I’ve come and gone I follow your stars to find my home I talk to this bay, our story Of the bay that gives us life

Tick the box to the way things must be Do this, do that and all will be right Don’t do this, don’t do that, you’ll pay the price Who are these fools creating all these rules Life is not so hard, do this or that

I’m so baffled when playing this game One knows this, another knows that I’m right, they’re wrong Bla bla la, I’m baffled by this game The ego puzzle, who wants to play

Lost in the here and there, listen to me, not them Frustrated by the sound of their voice I’m baffled at this device they say is needed for life Stumped at the illusion easily swallowed And no one notices their choking on just the bits they swallowed

Bewildered at the best of time Bemused most of the time Is there any enlightenment in this mess Watch where you step, there’s lots of it Take what you must, drop the rest

My baffled little mind in this necessary device of for life Oh faraway dream world take me away I’m mystified by this fuzzy world Baffled my little mind in search of relief It eludes me

From a distant past you showed up Of the early days when I was young, naïve it seems Taken advantaged of my innocence and good looks Ancient are those days of simple love Loveless now it seems

Primal fear I felt when you left me Consumed by such deceit Trickery of the heart you were Leaving nothing but treachery behind Ancient are those feelings mislead

Ancient is that broken heart Unable to breath in such duplicity I was but a young lover, in bloom before you Such a sham almost carried me away in shame Ancient are those pains of my soul, my darkest days

Oh how I loved you, that I remember So long ago, my ancient heart still clings to love I never forgot, my love was real I gave it to another Your ancient love gave me honesty in my life

The honour of my life took away my shame Funny, I still have love for you Ancient is my heart for a life once lived You no longer resemble those days, here before me Your heart has changed

Ancient are our memories of places we’ve been However we loved, what we thought was love I loved once, I was able to love twice Makes me lucky Ancient tears watched away Can I kiss you hello

What was the point of us, of our story You and me together always, now it’s ended What were those words you said to me, you said you meant Where are they now, what was the truth of them What was this life you imagined, what was the truth of this

What was done, pales in comparison to what was said Is this the truth of you, hidden from me Hidden for you, what was true of you I close my eyes to the pain I feel I know your heart, what was it I knew of you

What was it I said so long ago, can only be and do our best So forgiving such words well meant A life together in the arms of another What was forgotten, what was needed Only yesterday you were in love with me

What was this feeling you let me feel What was this kiss so lovingly embraced What was it you let me see What was this life we lived Only yesterday you said you loved me

What was the feeling of those words Tears of joy, no more What was this love you feel no more
