Rose Offered To Stone

I wrote this quite a while ago when someone I knew had a great loss, and she never got to say a proper goodbye. Read if you like.

Those last pages,
that lay upon the bed frame,
you don’t think its finished,
but it’s done all the same.

A dead rose,
wilted and black,
isn’t it the thought that counts,
not what it lacks.

Plant a rose,
within the stone,
one for all the rows.

For the lost lovers,
and those never planned,
that fate indeed discovers.

Your tears start,
and they will not end,
lost and never known,
that one that you could have called friend.

The tears always held back,
and words merely hinted,
words that wanted to be said,
but ended up only being printed.

Pages behind the pillow,
that depicted stories untold,
but never able to put in the last page,
you wished for things to unfold.

Lay a page upon the pillow,
his warmth has fled,
the story will never finish,
and never be read.

Upon the bed,
his story will live on,
bound with tears shed

Plant a rose,
within the stone,
one for all the rows.

For the lost lovers,
and those never planned,
that fate indeed discovers.

We wish we could travel between,
the planes of life and death,
to tell them our final words,
but we were simply out of breath.


Our tears creep out,
and block the final words,
drowning out our voice,
that will never be heard

Written in the stars,
the fates do author,
are the stories never ended,
but acceptance is what you hope for

Plant a rose,
Plant a rose,
Plant a rose,
Plant a rose,
Plant a rose…

His star,
will be the punctuation,
of a story so much greater

Flame That Flowers In The Rain

Basically...I'm going to do what I have to and will have no regrets. Everything thats going on...I will stay the course and will not leave the path. But I can never escape from the sight of destuction...

You said “Fuck off”,
So I said “Good night”,
with all these arguments,
who knows whose right.

Hanging up the phone,
I went outside,
Without a thing of comfort,
Or someone by my side

I slept in the rain,
with a smile on my face,
nothin’s gonna bring me down,
I‘ll find my place,
with mud between my toes,
and a rain soaked head,
I smile because I don’t care,
enough has been said.

Walking down the street,
It began to snow,
I froze to the bone,
But what did I really know?

These words last a life time,
along with lessons learned,
I wont be dragged down,
Back to life I’ve returned.

I slept in the rain,
with a smile on my face,
nothin’s gonna bring me down,
I‘ll find my place,
with mud between my toes,
and a rain soaked head,
I smile because I don’t care,
enough has been said.

The soft fragile snow,
Was replaced by smashing hail,
It cracked me on my head,
But I might find the holy grail.

Yelling wont solve a thing,
Your fire wont light,
Destroying your memories,
I tell ya it just ain’t right

I slept in the rain,
with a smile on my face,
nothin’s gonna bring me down,
I‘ll find my place,
with mud between my toes,
and a rain soaked head,
I smile because I don’t care,
enough has been said.

The seeds were planted,
And the house had flowered,
I watched from so far off,
As the flames devoured.

Lighting struck in a flash,
I saw the heat and flame,
Walking away from the destruction,
For I had no shame.

The heavens seemed to curse me,
When I turned my back away,
The hail beat me down,
But I continued on my way.

I slept in the rain,
with a smile on my face,
nothin’s gonna bring me down,
I‘ll find my place,
with mud between my toes,
and a rain soaked head,
I smile because I don’t care,
enough has been said.

Fire engulfs the heart,
That I once gave to you,
Do with it as you please,
cause I’ve paid what’s due.

All the past has been said,
I hope you see were I’m going,
I keep on walking,
And I will never stop hoping.

The ashes of the heart,
Still float in the air we inhale,
Maybe someone will gain,
Even though some of us will fail.

For I Am The Destroyer Of The Moon

Something that always seemed so great..so amazing and out of this world. I would look to the moon and smile so brightly as it would smile back. Yet as the moon grew closer, it began to destroy everything around me...and the only solution was to push it away causing its inevitable destruction. And now...I am oh so lost.

Think back to all the days,
when I could find that moon,
point it out in the sky,
and say “it will come soon.”

The moon will come soon,
and it will make everything right,
the moon will come soon,
but I will fight.

I found the moon,
when I needed it most,
but now the moon is shattered,
and there’s no reason to boast.

The moon began to smile,
and I matched its glory,
I would out shine it someday,
but that’s a long story.

It was a long story,
a sad one at best,
if only it was a tall tale,
and I could only jest

A happier day,
when I was only seventeen,
It would come soon,
but I couldn’t have seen.

It came nearer,
and pushed against the sky,
the waters began to raise,
but I never questioned why.

Think back to all the days,
when I could find that moon,
point it out in the sky,
and say “it will come soon.”

The moon will come soon,
and it will make everything right,
the moon will come soon,
but I will fight.

Growing ever closer,
it began to smile wider,
I smiled just the same,
as it came nearer.

People grew wide with terror,
and the alarms began to blare,
I smiled and smiled,
but their pain I did share.

The moon was tearing,
the world piece by piece,
there was no stopping it,
no communication for peace.

So I stood strong,
and looked face to face,
with the grin from ear to ear,
I will not leave this place!

Think back to all the days,
when I could find that moon,
point it out in the sky,
and say “it will come soon.”

The moon will come soon,
and it will make everything right,
the moon will come soon,
but I will fight.

I shouted to the heavens,
that were not so far away,
and the moon backed off,
and I knew it wouldn’t stay.

The moon began to saunter,
away from the earth,
but then suddenly it blew,
not knowing of its worth.

With my lungs on fire,
and hatred behind the smile,
I didn’t know what to do,
I felt as if defiled

I smiled and cried,
as the shards flew about,
I didn’t know how to feel,
I couldn’t trust my mouth.

Think back to all the days,
when I could find that moon,
point it out in the sky,
and say “it will come soon.”

The moon will come soon,
and it will make everything right,
the moon will come soon,
but I will fight.

The moon was there,
for me when I needed it,
I cared for it soo much,
Night now only starlit.

Fitting Through The Hole In The Wall

Obviously I was angry..and I wanted things to change and to find a new place to get away from the world and discover it all again really...Which is explained fairly well. Definately one of my favorites.

The hole in the wall
Has gotten bigger,
It seems greener on the other side,
I figure…

What do I see?

The silence clouds,
The darkness pounds,
Unknowing hounds,
And all I found,
Is nothing profound,
And you made,
Not a sound

Why wont you say,
What is real,
Why wont you say,
What you really feel

I feel closed in,
All I figure,
Is this world,
Should be bigger
Because…

The hole in the wall
Has gotten bigger,
It seems greener on the other side,
I figure…

Could it be?

Break down the wall,
Claw my way through,
Destruction behind me,
Is my vision askew?

A world beyond,
Destruction has brought me to,
Looking through the hole,
Can I fit through?

The hole in the wall
Has gotten bigger,
It seems greener on the other side,
I figure…

Is it really?

In that world,
I’m out on my own,
Alone and lost,
Everything unknown

I want to be new,
I want a new view,
I can’t stand this shit,
I just hope I fit,

Break me through,
I want through!,
I want through!!,
I want through!!!,

Claw punch,
Claw punch,
I want to feel,
The barrier shatter!
Don’t ask me,
“Whats the matter?”!

The hole in the wall
Has gotten bigger,
It seems greener on the other side,
I figure…

I don’t care!

I’m not going to quit,
I’m going to take action,
Tear this wall down now!,
No more distraction!

My world will change,
I’m done with this shit,
Contact me if you wish,
See if you can fit!!

Do I Feel The Rain?

This was slightly inspired by my friend Ariel who said I'm her rain without the clouds. I kind of built it off of that and eventually it took it's own meaning. To me this song means that even though life is bringing you down, you just have to get up and keep dancing because things will get better.

Do I feel the rain?
It’s cold I’m shivering,
Are puddles forming?
I’m standing here quivering.

There is nothing but darkness
And a cold veil surrounding,
Do the leaves drip?
Are the skies clouding?

In this dark world,
Feelings are blurred and numb,
Surrounded by darkness,
But I cannot succumb.

I cannot see a drop,
Pass in front of my eye,
Is it really rain?
Or does the sky cry?

I can’t see the rain,
But I dance all the same,
Because the clouds don’t remain.

I see nothing,
But clear skies overhead,
The rain still pours,
I can feel it on my head.

Moist frozen skin,
Drenched from head to toe,
I smile and dance,
As the wind does blow

I cannot see a drop,
Pass in front of my eye,
Is it really rain?
Or does the sky cry?

Not a cloud,
To dampen my spirit,
This rain breaks me free,
But I can only feel it.

Dancing in the darkness,
I throw my cares away,
Leaving life behind,
And living for today.

I cannot see a drop,
Pass in front of my eye,
Is it really rain?
Or does the sky cry?

Opening my eyes,
I find it is not the skies,
But really,
Tears from my eyes.

Looking up I smile,
With tears of pain,
But I still,
Dance all the same.
Because I know the clouds,
Will not always remain.

Ocean Sky

I think I've polished this a good bit now...I suppose I'm happy with it. With this song, I really want people to find their own meaning in it. There is a true meaning but it's obscured, anyone think they can find it?

Bound to earth we wish to fly,
Do you think you should?,
If you see through the clouds,
Would it do any good?

These wings you want,
come at a price,
free from ties that bind to earth,
cutting away with one single slice.

Stars float in the ocean above,
leading to worlds beyond comprehension,
but this earth we have is warm,
and filled with such tension.

Such a thing seems like heaven,
but what is heaven when you leave,
all of those you love without tellin’?

Stars upon this ocean,
and waves upon this sky,
a dream of something more,
a dream set so high,
But why do you want,
to say goodbye?

You sit and think,
of all you lost,
but is flying away any better,
even at a such cost?

These wings you want,
come at a price,
free from ties that bind to earth,
cutting away with one single slice.

Don’t pretend,
that I’m not your friend,
because I will be your wings,
and sing like the angel sings

So don’t fly,
don’t let out a sigh,
because I will be by your side

Friends are here,
even when you cry,
and all you can do is hope,
or set off and fly.

Stars upon this ocean,
and waves upon this sky,
a dream of something more,
a dream set so high,
But please don’t,
Say goodbye.

Perfect Picture

So it's a complete song...but it's not polished yet. I was hoping to run it by Alec and see what he would suggest. Now to elaborate on it a bit. This song began to come to me when I was taking up the garbage to the top of my drive way, and I looked over onto my neighbors drive way and I saw it...the perfect picture. A few leaves strewn here or there, a lone light off to the side and inbetween a pair of trees was the moon with accents of orange and pink from the setting sun. I just felt like it was so amazingly perfect that I wished I could stand there and watch it forever (So I took a picture of it, hopefully it comes out and I can post it along with this song ^^ that would be cool. But It was the last picture so I was a little afraid it might not come out...) I hope to make it all rhyme though XD It's kinda funky right now.

Perfect Picture


Would not it be magical,
to find that perfect picture?
Snap a moment in time,
where the beauty of it would last
in your memory forever.

this love you cannot teach,
As it snows on the beach,
Angels sing for you two alone,
and your spirits will have flown.
With this moment so perfect,
Should we question the unknown?

The moon just right,
leaves fly and swirl,
as a dove sit in a tree
like a guardian angel
sitting and watching over you.

The stars are peeking out
from the fading light
of the setting sun,
the moon would smile
as you and your love danced…

swaying with the breeze
as you could see the music in the air
floating with the clouds.
Reaching out to touch it,
Weaving between your fingers,
Hands interlaced

this love you cannot teach,
As it snows on the beach,
Angels sing for you two alone,
and your spirits will have flown.
With this moment so perfect,
Should we question the unknown?

Everything possible
in that perfect picture…
Anything possible
in that perfect picture…

A smile on your face
and a smile on hers
it would last forever
never fade from time
nor memory

Don’t we all wish
for that perfect picture?
But never seeming
to have a camera in hand
to freeze time
and enjoy it for what it is.

this love you cannot teach,
As it snows on the beach,
Angels sing for you two alone,
and your spirits will have flown.
With this moment so perfect,
Should we question the unknown?

Because everything is possible
in that perfect picture…
Anything possible
in that perfect picture…

(This is dedicated to the girl that got me out on the dance floor, and gave me my dancing shoes in a way...)

Beach Star

I guess I might as well post a tid bit of some of the things I've got in the works. Don't judge this song by what I got so far, it's no where near finished and the message will be more clear when I'm done. Hopefully people like it so far, any ideas just tell me.

Beach Star

Empty shell of a boy,
Sitting on the beach,
Water lapping at the world,
Light out of reach,

Stars pinpricked the skys,
Giving inspiration,
To many,
Across generations

The light of the sun did dim,
Letting the stars glow bright,
As a star fell from the sky,
Sand buried the light

The boy picked it up,
To experience its glow,
What happened next,
He did not know

The stars light,
Faded in his hands,
Turned to dust,
Mixing with the sands.

Chorus:

Lights that shine only,
When in the night,
Always they are bright,
Even without sight,
We are never without a light
