Celebration Song

For long have I shackled my voice,
Afraid of the echoes screaming my pain;
But the time has come to set it free,
For now I'm sure you've heard me again.

Forgot the roads we'd once walked together,
Overgrown as they lay before today,
Roads I'd given up as lost forever,
Till I found my new path winding your way.

If I could paint the sky, just the stars and you,
You'd shine brighter than the brightest few,
So let me splash the colours I've seen,
Cause all I want to do is celebrate you.

Like a minstrel with his magic flute,
Singing songs for a princess he once knew;
Let me weave my words into a tune,
Cause all I want to do is serenade you.

I do not know where our feet will lead us next,
Thoughts of tomorrow can't obscure my view,
I'll lose myself in these moments we've found,
Cause all I want to do is remember you.

Unrequited

Unrequited, like the parched waiting earth,
Looking up at the lone cloud in the sky,
Flying by, driven by the wind, caring not,
For the streams of tears that now run dry.

Unrequited, sands left back by the tide,
Watching waves recede with a careless bye,
Washing away their unborn dreams,
Leaving silent pools where their castles used to lie.

Unrequited, dewdrops before the sun,
Sparkling in its rays, mourning with a sigh,
The night that wouldn't embrace them as its own,
Yearning the faithless night just gone by.

Unrequited then these feelings of mine,
That blossomed wild where no one else would try,
Unrequited then, my love, like a fire
Snuffed out before its time, my love will die.

Milestones

Imagine a silent milestone,
Up there where the hill road crested;
Carrying the flame, not of miles burned,
But of weary feet that rested.

Moments spent alone with your thoughts,
Just you, a cool breeze, and your goal,
Before the coming caravan,
Drowns out the music in your soul.

A moment perhaps to reminisce,
The roads you tread to reach this place,
Crossroads you'd like to revisit,
Small detours you'd like to retrace.

But there are roads yet to be seen,
So let your mind not linger long,
For there are whistled tunes on your lips,
Waiting to break out into song.

Worry not, as the day passes,
For the milestones you've left behind;
Just walk on till you blaze your trail,
Till you find that milestone in your mind.

Angel In Blue

A stormcloud, darker than the night,
Pierced by a splash of bright blue,
A single sunbeam shining through;
Like a wild bloom 'tween paper roses,
Like a crystal amongst glass pieces,
Standing out without trying to..

Empty faces all around us,
Lit up with painted pretty smiles,
Fade away when you turn my way,
For in your eyes lies an ancient truth,
One of hope that drives me still,
One that the rest chose to give away.

An island of tranquility
In the midst of this sea of noise,
Drowning out every other view;
Like a lighthouse in my stormy dreams,
Helping me safely ashore,
That, sweet angel, was how i found you.

Like a pilgrim at the end of his road,
Standing at his shrine,
I wondered if it had all come true;
And when you turned for another glance,
Held my gaze and searched my eyes,
I knew that you had found me too.
