Before I Fall..

Before I Fall...

I stand alone, alone in the sea,

Wave after wave, crashing over my feet,

The wet earth slowly slips away from underneath me,

And I wait... for in a while my end must I patiently greet.

For life ebbs out of me slowly but surely,

Time harries; swiftly running out;

A guest in this world, is what I am merely,

I am fated to leave it soon, without doubt.

I remain a mere puppet in the world's center-stage,

Whose strings will soon be cut,

Past memories come back, swirling, in a haze,

No more joyous ones will be formed, but.

I am passenger, no longer driver of myself;

In this final journey which I must take alone.

For God is soon to remove me from this earthy shelf,

For Death, like Birth, is a a journey taken on one's own.

I am lost in the ushers of time, soon to be forgotten;

After a while, I'll exist as a mere memory,

Remembered seldom, if not more, by loves ones;

For far away from their worlds will I come to be.

Before I fall, my love, I have a bequest for you,

For this is my sweet swan song,

I know that your love for me is sweet and true,

Only this will enable my last to be peaceful; so be strong!

Before I fall, my love, please smile,

For it will fan my dying breath,

It will set the twinkle in my eye,

And my joy will be lengthened before my death.

So my love, wipe off your sneaking tears,

And kindly lend me the sunshine of your smile,

I'll leave with ease, and go without fear,

Because your laughter will light up my weary mile.

So before I fall, do not send me roses, for as I go

I cannot take them along with me,

Wrap me instead, in the fragrance of your prayers, slow,

Even as I am slowly set free...

I'll be there

I'll be there

When no one is there for you,

And you think no one cares.

When the whole world walks out on you,

And you think you're alone;

I'll be there.

When the one you care about the most,

Could care less about you;

When the one you gave your heart to,

Throws it in your face;

I'll be there.

When the person you trusted,

Betrays you;

When the person you share all your memories with hurts you;

I'll be there.

When all you need is a friend,

To listen to you whine.

When all you need is someone,

To catch your tears;

I'll be there.

When your heart hurts so bad,

You can't even breathe;

When you just want to curl up and die;

I'll be there.

When you start to cry,

After hearing that sad song.

When the tears just won't,

Stop falling down;

I'll be there.

So you see I'll be there until the end,

This is a promise I can make.

If you ever need me,

Just give me a call and,

I'll be there.

Friend

Friend

Where are you going, where have you been?

My dear, close, and quiet friend,

As we sit in the soft springtime Saturday's end

Taking comfort in each other once again.

Tell me your stories and I'll tell you mine;

And so we will pass a few hours time

With the quaint and the comic and even sublime -

Silently searching for that elusive sign.

We'll fashion the future and polish the past,

Allowing the memories to amass;

While the grains of sand slip through the glass

'Til a tranquil lull pervades at last.

Conversation fades with the eve's golden light,

We cannot go on, try though we might;

So you gather me an embrace so tight,

And we wistfully, longingly say goodnight.

Firefly

Firefly

When you feel all alone, or trapped in the dark,

Just remember that I am there,

I'll be by your side, I'll hold your hand,

And dispel all your fears.

When the path seems long and us wearisome to tread,

And you are just by yourself,

I'll give you company till you reach your goal,

I'll be always there to help.

When the going gets tough and when all is not well,

You can rest your head on my shoulder,

I'll whisper calm words lovingly to your ear,

I'l be warm for you should it get colder!

When the sun goes down and all becomes dark,

And if you get frightened of the night,

I'll shine like a star & fly by your side,

I'll glow brightly and fill your world with my light.

I'll be there for you whenever you think of me,

I'll come to your aid every time,

If you need to be happy, I'll be your smile,

I'l be your melodious rhyme.

I'll catch your tears & keep your secrets,

I'll be there in times good & bad,

I'll be there through your afflictions, see you through defeats,

I'll ensure that you never remain sad.

When you're down and the world seems empty and dark,

I'll be there, lighting your road,

You can follow in my wake, in my afterglow,

I'm your firefly, and gladly will I share your load!

Message In a Bottle

Message In a Bottle

I sent out the directions,

To the princess who will come my way one day,

I sent to her this message,

And this is what I had to say.

For my dearest Princess;

Whoever you may be,

Know that wherever you are,

To my heart you have the key.

I know that when you get here,

My heart will skip a beat,

And with your gentle touch,

You'll knock me off my feet.

You'll push your way through the locked doors,

Leading to my heart,

Battling all my fears of love,

Giving love for me a brand new start.

I think you've already found me,

Disguising yourself to me,

Teaching me my lessons now,

Then forever we can be.

I thought that I had found you,

I so easily let her go,

For that game of love I was unprepared,

A game I just didn't know.

Maybe she was you,

I just didn't know,

But when you, my Princess, reveal your disguise,

I'll know to never let you go.

But if I am wrong and she you are not,

I hope you soon will find,

I'll be the prince you're looking for

I'll be yours for all time.

Until then my princess, whoever you are,

I guess that I shall go,

I will love you when you get here,

Be sure that this you know.

I love you wherever you are,

I hope you get here soon,

I'll wait for you every night,

Meet me under the moon.

So I sealed my message with a rose,

And shipped the bottle on its way,

And under the beautiful moon,

I wait for my princess each day.

Maybe she's gotten lost,

Or even taken a wrong turn,

Maybe she's right in front of me,

Just teaching me the love lessons I need to learn.

Alone

I sat alone

Lost & forlorn,

Totally heartbroken,

I was just on my own.

I was numb,

Paralysed by shock,

Unable to comprehend,

This tragedy, behemoth!

I sat in silence,

Somehow bearing the pain,

Tears began to fall,

Like drops of rain.

I felt like a newborn baby,

Totally alone in the world,

I could do nothing,

For away from you I was hurled!

Fate is indeed cruel,

It tore me apart from you,

I want you back somehow,

I cant begin my life anew!

Oh my angel,

Come back to me,

For without you,

Life is hardly worth living I see.

The Lord took you close,

And forsake me under the skies,

My world suddenly froze

And everything seemed a lie!

You went where I couldn't follow,

You went away from me,

You really became an angel,

Whom I no longer could see.

I end this now,

Get up and walk away,

Knowing not what road lies ahead,

& How long like this I am going to stay....

When I Close My Eyes

When I Close My Eyes

I know when I close my eyes,
They spread their wings to fly.
I can see their halos glow,
when I close my eyes.

They drift amongst the clouds,
always looking down.
Watching over me when days go by.
I know they do this when I close my eyes.

I bet they talk about my love and hates
and they can determine my own fate
And I bet they talk to God each night
To make sure what I do at night.

But God didn't put wings on friends,
though I do not know why.
Because I know that they are angels
Every time I close my eyes.
