From now on, (02/24/2002) whenever I put up something new, it's going to be right here at the top, instead of hidden in the middle of things, like I used to do.

What will the Future be Like?

Today will be the day.
Tomorrow will never come.
Yesterday is but a dream.
Dreams will always come true.

Only in Fairy Tales!
The lies they tell are a shame!
The truths they tell are worse.
Peace is but a fantasy!
War can't be the only way...

Can it?
There has to be a way,
A way for peace and prosperity,
A way for them to come true,
A way for the stories to have a
Happy Ending.
What if the joys and innocence
of little children
Were known to those who know the truth?
what if we could all wake with a smile on our face?

what if...?

Maybe we could all see past the
Bitter lies.

In My Eyes

You may be gone,
I may be lost,
But I will never
lose the sparkle
In my eyes
left there just for you.

You may have another,
And care no more for me,
But I will always have
my hopes
in the sparkle
in my eyes
you always said was there.

And I forever bear
This burden 'till I die

Imagining your faith to him,
And remembering my loss tonight,
Will always make me cry.

But I will never lose
the sparkle in my eyes...
Left there just for you.

Loose Diamonds

Loose diamonds,
Like lost hopes,
dropped and scattered,
Never to be found again.
Diamonds falling,
like snowflakes drifting
through a darkened sky
Only to land and be forgotten.
Loose diamonds,
glittering like lightning-
burning in the sky,
igniting passions
In the blink of an eye.
I pick up every
one that I find,
but they slip through
my fingers,
tumbling down in my mind-

A shattered dream -- lost forever.

Untitled

Does she even notice me?
Do I even matter to her?
She's always there,
So close, in my mind,
And in my dreams,
And in my heart,
Yet, so far away.
Within my sight,
Within my reach,
And still so far away.
Can she hear me?
Does she see me?
I reach out to her with all my heart,

And she's still so far away


Untitled

What if I were to tell you that
You're the one for me?
I want you much, I need you so,
You're the one for me.
I will follow you anywhere.
Fly away with me tonight,
We will go nearly everywhere
Or nowhere at all.
When I'm with you, I can't be bored,
When I'm without you, I am dead.
Come with me,
And let's be free.
I love you,
Do you love me?





Desiderium

These are pictures,
 Only pictures...
Of you.
This is paper,
 Only paper...
So easily torn.
These are ink stains,
 Only ink stains...
On my heart.
These are my tears,
 Petty crystals...
Crimson Blood.
Only my tears
 Wet these pictures
Of you.
Only my hands
 Tear this paper...
Throw it away.
Only my fear
 Left these stains here
Let you go.
I don't want to...
 Really need you...
Please come back.
