Back In Place

The answer’s right there…
Oh, why didn’t I see it before?
All’s well and there’s,
Nothing to sulk about…

Hey girl, move over,
The smile’s back in place.

People can go about their lives,
Just the way they choose.
It’s just a big disgrace that,
I wept and wept so long.

Hey girl, move over,
The smile’s back in place!

Ah, these tear-stained cheeks,
They’ve been wiped smooth.
They blush at just the thought,
That they’ve been stained…
By simply being vain.

Hey girl, move over,
The smile’s back in place!

Stop! This has also passed;
Those moments seem,
So long ago when,
Confusion reigned supreme.

Hey girl, move over,
The smile’s back in place!

A Moment Passes By

You bring me solace,
In all this ugliness.
With the mirror in front of me,
I look you straight in the eye.

I see you, look right back at me,
The gaze still holds, the sparkle’s gone.
Tell me truly – what, oh what
Will bring that sparkle back?

The path you’re crossing,
Surely is treacherous;
I know the soles of your feet hurt,
The calves of your legs ache.

I can see the spirit,
Oh, your spirit’s unwavering!
You still look me in the eye;
Right now, I ask for nothing more.

No One To Blame

You are my reason to stray;
My reason for clandestine thoughts
And surreptitious actions.
You know I love you,
For the moment you gave me.

I saved every bit of sadness,
For a long, long time,
Only to burst into you,

Never saw this coming,
You’d leave in me,
A little more sadness

Ah, this void!
This painfully addictive void,
Is filling me again…
While you sail away darling,
Like the moment was never there!
Having me believe,
I’ve been truly promiscuous
In thought and in actions!

Alive?

Theatricals, hypocrisy,
Mundane conversations;
Yet another day,
Yet another evening.
He knows what they’ll say;
They know what he’ll say.
Raise your glass,
For another toast…
One more day, staying alive!
Let’s keep living, for another day.

Conceited

Sparkling in the sand,
He felt grand.
He had captured the entire sun;
He thought he had won.
Until the wave, she rose high,
Washed ashore and swallowed him,
…into the night.

The proud grain of sand,
Was gone forever.
To be found again, never.
