Grave Conversation

The flowers stopped growing one day
in mid bloom in the month of May
Seems the whole world stood still that day
When the Lord came and took you away
The flowers since have grown and died
I count the days by how often I've cried
I still can't believe it deep down inside
you're gone I know even though I tried
to hope and pray you back each and every day
and I just wanted to say
that I miss you so very much.


Don't stand weeping at my grave
Don't waste your tears on me there
I have gone and have been long gone
I have been everywhere
On the breath of the winds that blow
In the rain that falls from above
and snow that covers the ground
I'm in the bright sun's rays
on every summer day
I'm in the crispness of autumn
and the clouds that push the sun away
I'm in warmth of the morning light
I've soared high with birds in flight
Don't stand at my grave and cry
Don't waste your tears on me
For I did not die.

Thought # 101

Life is useless from beginning to end
With spasms of pain it begins
With pain and spasms it ends
Nothing more than a hot flash in a cold pan
Life is useless from beginning to end.

Let us save our breath
For what is breath after all
But the beginning and end
For breath delivers our words
Be they kind or not so
From here I have watched you
As you walked along
The side of the street
Where the light slices
Into the darkness
Silence follows you
Everything else is left behind
Your voices echoes
Your promise is a song
Your memory is sad.

Ice cold words

I hear and I see
But it`s all so confusing to me
The long whip of her eye lashes
Cools me down as
The car crashes
Long since that day
There`s been so much to say
And all the while
Time carries on
Like the words of a song
Never to be heard
Or sung
Ice cold words
Coming out of her mouth
I never thought
I never really had a doubt about
Anything she ever said
Until last night
As we lay together in bed
She told me she loved me
So many times
But little did I know
In fact I must`ve been blind
No feelings
Cold bodies in the night
Hers against mine
The mistake was I believed in her
When she treated me kind
It`s too late now
To believe her
I see I was wrong
Ice cold words

Tears I cry

Tears I can't afford to cry
Tears I cry for you
I don't have to try
to cry for you
So many tears
So many years gone by
I forgot the many times
you made me cry
But I forgive
I don't know why
I never stopped loving you
It's the only thing I really ever knew
The only thing I ever needed was you
Tears I can't afford to cry
Tears I cry for you
I don't have to try
to cry for you
So many nights
So many lonely nights gone by
I lay alone and cry
Until I'd fall asleep
But I forgive
I don't know why
I never stopped loving you
It's the only thing I really ever knew
The only one I ever needed was you
Tears I can't afford to cry
Tears I can't afford to cry
Tears I cry for you
I don't have to try
to cry for you
I do.

It’s not that bad

Buckets of big black clouds in the sky
It’s not that bad so don’t you cry
Grab your stuff and come with me
Let’s leave this café
I need the company of a smile
Lets get away for a while or
Could I
Sit and stare at you for a while
Oh no
You’ve left your bag in the rain
Wet cigarettes
Like tears get washed down the drain
Isn’t it a pity
So grab your stuff and come with me
Let’s leave this place
We can sail away
Just you and me
For just one day
To a land so far away
Just you and me
It’s not the way it was way back then


Buckets of big black clouds in the sky
It’s not that bad so don’t you cry
We can sail away
Just you and me
For just one day
To a land so far away
You won’t need no money
There’s nothing there to buy
It’s not that bad so don’t you cry
Grab your stuff and come with me
To the land where wildweed grows
We can smoke it
Until it shows
That it’s not that bad so please don’t cry
Even though there’s
Buckets of big black clouds in the sky
It’s not that bad so don’t you cry
Grab your stuff and come with me
To the land where the wildweed grows
Smoke it
Then it shows
That it’s not that bad so please don’t cry
Hold on to my hand
It’s okay to feel this way
I was going this way too today
It’s not that bad so don’t you cry
It’s not that bad so don’t you cry
It’s not that bad so don’t you cry.

Remember

I remember once when you went away
I counted the seconds, day by day
Each day that passed that I spent without you
The pain in my heart from your absence grew

At times like a ghost I thought your were there
Warm scent of your skin and your long silky hair
Your voice echoes softly through the rooms of my mind
I find treasures of words you spoke, all of them kind

So think of me as each day goes by and remember as you do
Your thoughts will all be greeted by my own warms thoughts of you.
