Invisibly Written Visibly Read

Ghostly arms hold me;
when my tears take me back,
to where I used too play and hide alone.

Angelic hands come to me;
when the deathly shades of autumn,
bring back inner shades that I try my best to block out.

Ghostly fingers pull my hand back to blank paper,
you don’t have to say it. I understand without words.

Whilst the sea sleeps
our eyes turn to the sky we share.
Just like before leaves brush;
two tears visibly invisible,
like the arms that were never there;
just like the hand that was never in mine,
and like the friend I never had before you appeared.
But always had in you. Whilst I played, hid and cried alone.

In th

Tightrope of true love

Love is alive tonight in your distant sighs, giggles and cries.
I love her all the time and hate her the rest of the time.
Through the depths of life's and dreams loves and loses.
Heaven in the twilight of the sun, losing you against the light.
You're everything I am not.
True love is the noose that strangles the life out of your heart.
True love is the invisible blade that pokes the eyes out of your soul.

It took a long time but I dreamt that my true love was waiting for me,
at the other end of a tightrope. As I walked toward her tentatively trying
my hardest to not look down concentrating on keeping my balance.
Keeping my eye on

Favourites And OutsidersI feel you in my mind too much,
Will I always be missing something?
I miss you all the time,
Will I forever be close but not close enough?

Out of my way of daydreaming,
Into your way of thinking.

Broken shards of dreams blown away under moonlight,
Everything I've done is pulling me further out to sea.
Screaming silent cries inside into crooked and twisted shadows,
Whatever I've done is drowning me in all the things I've left unsaid.

Into your ways of thinking,
Into my way of thinking.

The Realistic Ghost

Colours are tears from heaven
Falling rain on red roses,
My heart bares the flag of the dead.
Disappointed stood a shadow on the edge of the road,
My soul tares apart the shade over the sidewalk.
Crying my eyes out, praying for colour
Please colour me in.

Fear of falling
Depressed about nothing,
Everyday on edge
Sad about everything,
Sunlight coming and going across water,
Sinking like a stone but in control,
Sick and tired of listening to people.

Closing my eyes to dream, makes me wish ghosts were real
There must be a real ghost among them all,
To take all the unreal people by the hand and show them reality.

Waves echoing t

Enchanted I look to the sky,
Never quite touching your gentle soul.
Endured like the suns reflection across the sea,
Never quite knowing you.
Touching waves trying to reach you,
A gentle touch that blinds you from knowing me
Reaching out says more than a confession can,
Never thought I could fall again.

Migratory heart setting off toward the cartoon sky,
All the colours combine to confuse.
All the distances run, tears turn to warmth
On the outside I see you and you see me,
Colour pours out of you leaving me only black.
Your shadow casts over me,
Without you there’s no sunshine,
That’ll get me through the times I&#
