GHOST BIRDS
  
They came from far away
to build a new place,
they tell you the story 
of their death.
  
Beyond our land
they strangely speak
but we can't 
understand
  
Mountains, 
forests
and seas....
  
The Ghostly birds 
fly
unto 
new horizons

A NIGHTMARE
  
The night was dark,
the body numb- deaden...
It lacked every function
except thought
  
It was a nightmare,
a terrifying experience
never before imaged 
although it only existed in evil fantasy
  
Trying to move was hard 
the mind telling the body 
the body trying to respond 
but it ended when you woke in a cold sweat

WOULD YOU CHALLENGE TODAY?
  
If tomorrow was today
what would you do?
Would you do the things planned?
Or something totally different?
  
If yesterday was today
would you change yesterday?
the things that went wrong
would you challenge today?
or leave it as it is?
  
As today is now
what would you want tomrrow?
or would you want yesterday again?
why can't yoube content
with one day a new one?

TIME PAST TIME NOW
  
Years pass - time past
lonely people - noone cared 
noone wanted - to care
  
years pass - time now
both die - both gone
then it's - too late
to care

THE FACE
  
The face holds many secrets
smile when it suits you 
or when it suits others
grin at remarks made
sulk when you need to
  
  
Whenever that person appears
are you to smile or grin?
or try your best to be likeable
mainly because you mustn't give in
if you do
you'll be the talk of the town

THE LOSER HAS TO FALL
  
We're in an emotional tangle 
just like the rose thorns
choking the heart
or the bread knife slicing the loaf,
until you're left with one half
or maybe even our goat's horns 
are in a tangle?
  
Whilst losing someone close
I have to fall
It seems that the game
goes on and on
  
will it feel the same
when there will be no more
games to play?
  
I thought I'd be strong enough to cope 
with you in my arms
still, deep inside
you must know I miss you?
  
There's nothing more for me to say...
I'll try to understand
when you come to shake my hand.....
