Poems

Someone Greater

Feel the dirt between your toes

Smell the salty sea air

Breathe in the morning light

Hear the echo of silence

Laugh and watch how it grows

Dance naked without a care

Watch your dreams take flight

See how far they take you

You are greater than anyone knows

You are something quite rare

Continue on this path and you just might

End up becoming someone better

Than even you could have imagined

Betrayed Lover

I'll give you my heart

If you might try to love me

You threw it away

I wish you could take back those things you've done

Don't leave me standing here once again

You know I love you

How many chances can I give?

Without You

I get along without you

Except when warm winds blow on a summers day

The playful air wraps us together

And lights up our smiles

But, I get along without you very well

I've forgotten you

Except to hear your name

Or see a face that is the same

But, I've forgotten you just like I should

I look to the future and it suits me well

I shove the past aside to the back of my mind

For if I remember you

My heart will surely break in two

The Road

I don't know what's real any more

Time passes suddenly slow

Where do I go from here?

Trains and planes take us to distant places;

back to what is pure

Running full on only to fall flat on my face

The wind whispers your name sweetly in my ear

The road ahead stretches into infinity

I walk on only to feel alive

Tears you've made me weep have washed away my path

So, I start anew

I can go whichever way I please

Why can't I just let go...

Fly Away

Fly away with me

Come smell the sea

It's been far too long

Since we did each other wrong

Let's put the past behind

Set sail on the winds of love

Gave up at the constellations above

Drive around in your beat-up car

We don't even know how lucky we are

I can't pretend you haven't been on my mind

Dreaming of the Osaka Sun

Tonight I'm gonna run

Don't hold me back

Because I"ve made up my mind

The road is all shadows and pitch

And, I've no candle to guide me

With hope alone I'll trudge along

One day the light will come out

I'm dreaming of the Osaka sun
