SOLILOQUIES ~ Beyond Few Words

I'd look at the mirror and ask myself Who am I... Am I a craven or am I brave Am I selfish or am I selfless Am I sinful or am I good Am I realist or am I a dreamer Am I even me or just your notion of me Oh I know who I am I'm everything that you want me to be But please it's too long now Please let me be . . ME

Those tears are not in my eyes, no more They swell in the sealed walls of my heart Till I'd find the moment to shed them all Not in pain but in bliss In bliss for the love that I behold...

one day I'd dissolve and disappear in your smiles or tears may be that's when I'll feel life is complete

That was me telling stories Stories, good and bad But then I was distanced by time One by one From all Who ever relished my tales And then it started From a whisper To a voice To a scream All inside...

When love cannot fill your heart and When dreams cannot spread their wings Peace comes through travelling. A beautiful distraction To mend the torn And heal the broken I'm traveling.

You saw me in an ephemeral moment in the afterglow of the sunset sailing home and said, 'what a beautiful life!' But I've been here forever, from when the sun was hot and not so kind, from when the water was turbulent and not so calm. The play of time. All you got to appreciate was my outer beauty but not my inner turmoil.
