Hunger

To fight the dead,
To stay awake.
To live the dream,
In every way.
To touch the stars,
And fly away.
Hunger, my friend,
Will lead the way.

Stagnant

Stagnant, like a pool of water
After a hard monsoon rain.
Stagnant, like a flag
With no wind to help it sway.
Stagnant, like a block
Submerged to the watery depths.
Stagnant, my life has become
In this dreary modern age.

Waiting

The leaves are starting to fall
As the summer draws to an end.
I try to catch a few,
While, I sit alone on the faded park bench.

Fast has the time passed
Long has it been.
Yet, the distance never closes
Between you and me, it seems.

How are you?
How have you been?
Know that I am still waiting for you,
My lover, my friend.

The Pact

Same time,
Same place,
We will meet again,
Someday.

Same time,
Same place,
This pact we make,
Today.

Same time,
Same place,
Remember me,
My young friend.

Do you know how I died?

Do you know how I died?
It was but a simple lie,
To take the hand
And close my eye,
Trust myself to paradise.

Listen, to the old and wise
For they have seen it all
With their very eyes.
The labyrinths, the traps
The pretty disguise
"Be careful, young one, you're just a child."

What did I know to have a dream
But to utter the sound of a silent scream.
Shatter and break,
It goes down the stream.
Run and hide,
To run and hide.
"Alas, my child it was all a lie."
Now, do you know how I died?
