feeling cold and lonely
so please don't slip away
stay here for another
black and rainy day
i cannot bear the feeling
of lost and lonesome times
so please just stay here with me
in this world of mine
the clouds they are departing
as i see your face
sitting here beside me
my fears, your words erase
and through your eyes, i see it
a world not cold and black
with you, right here beside me
the light comes shining back
so please don't leave me lonely
in this world for long
for only in your arms
i truly do belong
02/22/99 Princess in Solitude
she sits alone in silence
a smile for the years
giving life her beauty
with this child's tears
blackened by the twilight
in waves of crimson gold
she sits so meek and tiny
while life, again, unfolds
a face within the masses
so beautiful, yet sad
with silver flecks to highlight
the joys in life, she had
built with unseen magic
this princess, here, so bold
alone within her mem'ries
of stories yet untold
waiting for her prince, now
in robes of royal pride
who'll guide her to her palace
and there she'll make his bride
bo longer in the darkness
she'll reign throughout the land
cascading life with beauty
with solitude in hand
02/12/98 Love
slipping into nothing
the world comes rushing round
invading all contentment
this life of ours surrounds
wash it all with mem'ries
these waves of silent dreams
for love has gone forever
in this night, it seems
so lost between the ages
with no one here to care
just caught in isolation
built on life's despair
