The violent vandals of the past
Engrave time into an iron cast
Revolves around timeless stains
Graffitied scars of empty pains
They haunt her into lonely dreams
Crippled cries and strangled screams
Yet her world is bare of sound
Stilled, she waits, to be found

I Smell The Rain
It taints the breeze from a cloud away
It darkens the skies and dulls the day
Submerges earth into an ethereal trance
The skies are spun into a violent dance
It breaks the blue and soothes the sun
It falls the world into a stun
The early breath of morning's wake
Brings the hues the solemn clouds forsake

Stained Glass Windows
Shattered glass stained
Into a perfect picture
Coloured pieces paned
Painted into the future
They blend into a fantasy
Of an artist's impression
The drained dream of reality
A beautiful confession
We taint our hearts with
Open lies, darkened shadows
Still we stare through
Our stained glass windows

Heart In Hand
They keep playing those lullabies
That she'll never understand
She faces every waking day
With her heart in hand
Disguised as love at first sight
Was a thief in the day
It doesn't take her by surprise
But it takes her breath away
Eeach heartbeat tempts her to
Abandon her will to survive
Twisted irony in the knowing
It's what's keeping her alive
She bleeds tears of scarlet
That dissolve into debt
She wills for the moments
For the time that she's wept
They keep playing those lullabies
That she'll never comprehend
She looks up to the endless skies
Wonders if it'll ever end

In One Moment
She laughs.
The sun in her smile,
Stars in her eyes,
Linger a while,
Then return to the skies.
In one moment the sun disappeared
And the stars failed to grace the sky
In one moment only silence is heard
As they watched their only light die
Sun in her smile, stars in her eyes,
Blinded to their silent cries

Romeo and Juliet
When Romeo saw her across the floor
Was it love at first sight or another closed door
That forbade him through
When Juliet stood from the balcony
What made her fall, true love or gravity
Into a distant lullaby
When Romeo gently took her breath
Did he know he'd sung her into her death
Or blithely refused to believe it true
When Juliet whispered 'death do us part'
Didn't she know he already had her heart
He wasn't the first one to die
When Romeo saw her, pale as dead
He gave his soul to take her stead
It was no longer his to give
When Juliet saw her lover dead by knife
Who had all of her, except her life
And with him false will to live
Was there ever a tale of such woe
As of Juliet and her Romeo?
