The towers have all fallen The walls are tumbling down Yet still I stay to defend this place Though no one is around The noble knights are all dead Their ladies now are dust My trusty steed is now lame My armor covered in rust My mighty sword is dull and bent Yet defend this place I must What once was bright and glittering Now is dank and dark Where once the famous table sat Now nests the meadow lark Merlin is trapped in slumber Lancelot long since gone Arthur is entombed in Avalon Alone I struggle on The noble code of chivalry Once lauded far and wide Now is just a memory Within its’ lines I hide |
| TEARS Tears fall from bloodshot eyes Deep inside again I die Even thou I try and try Once more I must say good-by Tears of joy, Tears of sorrow Have I the courage to face tomorrow Somewhere some strength I must borrow To help me with these tears of sorrow Damn these tears that fog my eyes Tears that befuddle my mind Tears that kill me inside Damn these million tears I've cried Tears of joy I seek to gain They cleanse my soul They drown my pain Tears of joy can make me whole Those are the tears that can be my goal |
Why Love? Why does someone fall in love? Is it just the feeling or the idea? That makes us do the things we do? Why would anyone torment themselves this way? To put themselves in the way of such pain? Why such torture for so little gain? Perhaps alone it would be better to stay, and keep my heart from out of harm's way. Why do I keep doing this to my self, by taking my heart off its' dusty shelf? God help this fool find someone to love, someone to whom my love is enough. I did not plan to feel this way, to open myself to all this pain. Is it better to feel this, than nothing inside? For so long now I've felt like I died. Perhaps it was to myself I lied For saying "No worse off for having tried." (Unfinished) |
HEART AND SOUL In My Heart And Soul There Now Is Light Where For So Long Now It's Been Dark As Night This Light Is My Hope That Some Day You'll Find Some Place For Me In Your Heart And Mind The Weight Of The Years Is Lifted At Last It Is Time To Look Forward Not To The Past For Now In Their Mind No One Can Say It's Wrong For Him To Want Her This Way These Things I Feel They Can't Be Wrong They Need Expression In Poem And Song No Price To Pay Would Be Too High If I Could Have You In My Life For A Small Bit Of Hope I Would Gladly Wait For The Rest Of My Life If That Is My Fate |
| Attack From the Inside Who would have thought that in a few hours That the armor that I had worked for years to build Could so quickly be stripped away Long had I labored to make this armor perfect To protect the soft and vulnerable heart beneath From the damage it was prone to take How could I have known that a mere chance encounter With a lovely lady in distress would penetrate The defenses that I thought protected me I think that my shield was knocked from my arm From the moment she entered the room So perhaps I am to blame for what followed For letting her get so close Maybe it was arrogant of me to think That I was truly invulnerable in the armor I made That she used no weapons other than her beauty The words she spoke and eyes that reached into my soul Maybe it was a mistake to not cover my eyes and ears So perhaps truly the fault is mine For leaving my defenses vulnerable to Attack from the inside |
