    As it Seems

    All that is all that are
    Sing me songs through darkness scar
    Of ever lasting false true love
    Of everything that never was
    Broken promises to keep
    Dreams that dreamt in awaken sleep
    Hold your tongue and speak your mind
    Forever to live will be to die
    Speak the wind in secret silence
    Green grass grows not around the fence
    Two dead trees that long to touch
    Grow closer still for both love much
    The freezing sun beats down tonight
    Love's a war for all to fight
    Many treasures will make a man poor
    A thief will always need much more
    The lack of moon glows too bright
    Secrets of night are hard to hide
    Only one girl stands up and out
    The crowd will never hear her shout
    The quietness is deafening
    Nothing's ever as it seems

    The Tale Of A Werewolf

    Light turns to shadows
    As day turns to night
    My presence is unknown
    I must stay out of sight

    I grow steadily weary
    The time is drawing near
    Slowly I am filled with dread
    I start to shake with fear

    I stumble to a room
    Lock myself in tight
    There's no way I can escape
    There'll be no killings tonight

    Suddenly the changes start
    In agony I scream
    This is way too much to bear
    I wish this were a dream

    The pain finally stops
    I slowly rise to my feet
    Power surges through my body
    I'm a beast that knows no defeat

    I race around the room
    Frantically searching for a way out
    Frustration grows inside me
    Until I want to shout

    A howl comes from my throat
    I hurl myself at the door
    I will not be trapped
    I never have been before

    The door splinters on impact
    Joyously I howl
    I jump through an open window
    To begin my midnight prowl

    I race through the woods
    The full moon leading the way
    The thirst for blood surges
    I must find my prey

    A smell drifts through the air
    Unmistakably fresh
    I run in that direction
    Towards the scent of human flesh

    Mad with desire
    I fly through the night
    I come to a camp
    Killing everyone in sight

    In the morning I awaken
    In my human form once again
    I realize I'm in the woods
    And my head begins to swim

    I take in my surroundings
    Gasping at the sight
    The ground is covered with blood
    I shudder as I remember the night

    Sorrow fills my body
    Tears fall down my face
    Knowing that I must leave
    I vanish without a trace

    Truth is...
    by J. Lau

    I used to think
    That I can control,
    The feelings I had for you
    And the thoughts of being with you.

    I kept my distance,
    I held my stance.
    I treasure the friendships,
    And I wished you both happiness.

    I knew that it will not
    Be an easy path,
    But it turns out to be much rougher
    Then I could ever imagine.
    Cause deep down,
    It hurts like crazy.

    Truth is...
    I cannot hold my feelings back
    And ignore its existence.
    I cannot pretend l am not jealous,
    That I'm not the one by your side.

    Truth is...
    I cannot ignore the pain anymore,
    When comforting you when you fall.
    I cannot stand seeing you being hurt over and over again,
    And there's nothing more I can do.

    Truth is...
    I'm not being truthful and fair to myself,
    Cause it hurts so much inside each time you cry.
    I cannot leave this wound open,
    And not distance myself to let it heal.

    Truth is...
    I had feelings for you ever since the day we met,
    And it only grew deeper as time past.
    I know that I should not feel this way,
    But I can't help myself thinking of you each day.

    Truth is...
    I was sure that you were the one,
    ever since we met again that day,
    Around the end of June.

    I don't know what to do anymore,
    My logic is overwhemled by my emotions.
    I still wish that everything will work out,
    Between you and him.
    But if one day in the years to come,
    That fate finally grant me the chance.
    I wish that we will be together,
    Forever less a day...

    For that is the day,
    I wanted you to know...
    How I truly felt ... about YOU.

    Beauty
    by "-"ciñdy"-"

    All girls have beauty
    That they try not to loose
    But when they give it to a
    Boy they use and abuse

    They always do something to
    Make her beauty die
    Girl shed one tear
    Her beauty blows by

    She give you her beauty
    Among other things let loose
    Her dignity and
    Everything was used

    So when you get her beauty
    Care it well
    Cause once beauty dies
    Her heart will as well

    "Apart Of Me"

    For the longest time
    My lips were sealed
    But my deepest secret
    Now revealed

    I always wondered
    Deep inside
    How life would be
    By a fathers side

    I wish I knew
    At least your name
    I wish I knew
    Just who to blame

    I blame myself
    I feel as though
    It`s all my fault
    You didn`t watch me grow

    Was I not good enough
    To make you stay
    Am I the reason
    You walked away

    You deprived me
    Of a fathers love
    You deprived me
    Of a loving fathers hug

    I went through life
    Acting as if I didn`t care
    That you, my father
    Were never there

    It bothered me inside
    In my heart I knew I was sad
    That to me you`re a stranger
    The father I never had

    Deep in my heart
    To fate I plea
    To see the man
    That is one half apart of me.

    isn't it wonderful..?

    isn't it wonderful..?
    our last winter..
    when a story was written
    by the sky of heaven...

    the rythm of the wind..
    bring us to a dream
    where our soul and faith
    lies within the overflowing stream...

    the stars...
    like the tears of thousands angels..
    flowing and swaying..
    unsteady but gentle..
    the moon..
    like the melodies of our hearts..
    so sweet and tender..

    isn't it wonderful..?
    to walk on each other hands..
    in the impeccable place.
    where we found our wishing star

    isn't it wonderful..?
    to be always together..
    loving each other..
    wherever we are..

    Everytime...

    Everytime i go through that corridor
    i still remember our steps, that have left after the rain
    everytime i stand besides the road,everytime i sit on that chair
    i remember what we have done

    even though only words are shared
    laugh and tears that have been shed
    many times and too many memories we have curved on our time

    everytime i open that book
    i remember everything
    you,him,them,have filled my days in this place
    accompony,protect,play,teach,share love and stufffs,
    cry,laugh,and life
    everything landed on my mind

    don't be afraid that you will be forgoten
    don't be scared that my memory of you will be broken
    i promise that it won't happen

    even though our footsteps have been cleared
    even though the road is no more
    even though our chair have been moved
    even though that book have been roten

    my feeling towards you won't change
    although the time has lapsed
    through the wind,through the rain
    i will always be,the way we were... the way we used to be

    thanx friend,you have brought me fly to your world
    to see any gorgeous moment
    to know this world,meaning of life..
    to feel the love,and spend abit happines with you
    i love you.. till we meet later...
    in heaven...

    if only...

    If only the sea stop roaring
    and the grass loss its colour
    will this world be the same..?
    enormous skies and mountains,stay unframed

    if only the snow can say
    and the wind can sing
    will they lend me a secret...
    another aspect of this life..

    if only the time can stop
    for a day.....
    for a second....
    let me seek for the feeling,
    the untouched dream
    that drown with the night,
    simply hidden and broken

    if only there is no hate and sadness
    things blessed by love and joyfullness
    without expressive comment
    without pretending moment
    i do want to fly, through the dark ,through the clouds
    to draw... the beauty of soul...

    This is not goodbye
    by Tabby

    Crying by his bedside my tears flow endlessly
    I held his hand so tightly never wanting to let go
    Trying to not think about what is about to be
    I look up at him trying to not let my sadness show

    His eyes are closed his breathing is slow and heavy
    I run my hands through his thick, dark, brown hair
    His handsome face is so pale with the color gray
    That I begin to cry even harder thinking it isn't fair

    Sickness is taking my true love away from me
    Draining away his energy happiness and light
    But not stealing our love away from each other
    That is the one thing that he was able to fight

    His eyes slowly open and he turns toward me
    He smiles a weak smile and touches my cheek
    I feel myself breakdown and burst into sobs
    trying to say don't die but I could no longer speak

    he grabs my hand and pulls me to him
    reaching for my face he brings me into a kiss
    then he hugs me with such a weak embrace
    I hug him so tight never wanting to end this

    Suddenly he lets go I pull myself slowly up
    He looks at me with such sadness in his eyes
    "I love you sweetheart"he says to me
    "I love you but there will be no goodbyes"

    "I love you to" I sob into his shoulder
    I lay on his chest hearing his heart as I cry
    I feel his breathing slowly fade away
    As i sob to myself I say "its ok this is not goodbye".....

    Broken

    There's a hole in her heart
    where his picture used to be.
    Her face used to have a lovely glow,
    and she was once so very sweet.

    Now she's embittered by her hatred.
    She's numb to all the pain.
    Only shadows cross her path.
    Her tears pour forth like rain.

    Her eyes no longer shine.
    Darkness consumes her soul.
    She is now like shattered glass,
    broken pieces that can't be made whole.

    He took with him all that was good in her.
    Sadly, loving him had had its price.
    In her mirror she sees the girl she used to be,
    wishing she'd known who she was letting into her life.

    His warm embrace
    by Marjan

    Warm embrace
    Sweet face
    Shining so bright
    A beautiful sight
    15 years ago
    He told me
    I had to go
    To somewhere else
    I didn't know
    I was in tears
    Couldn't think of
    Being away
    For many many years
    He cleaned my tears
    Put his hand
    On my heart
    And told me:
    I will always
    Be here
    So near.
    And smiled.
    A smile I'll
    Never forget.
    Then I came here
    Forgot his face
    Throughout the years
    But I know he's here
    With me
    Through thick & thin
    I have no fear.
    Trying to be my best
    Knowing here I'm just a guest
    Missing his
    Warm embrace
    Sweet face
    Shining so bright
    A beautiful sight

    Show me the world hidden in your mind,
    Cry me the tear that will take us inside.
    Bring forth emotion, that makes the world crumble,
    Pull down some bricks, and watch the walls tumble.

    So in your smile, let me see eternal light,
    Where sun will never fall, and autumn leaves take flight.
    Waves of yellow, gold and green,
    Let your smile be more than it seems.

    Show me emotion, bring about the rain,
    Cry me the tear that will share all your pain.
    Bring forth the thunder, release all its sound,
    Pull down the lightening, with all strengths bound.

    When I look into your eyes,
    I pray to see truth and no more lies.
    The secret strands of black and white,
    No longer hidden from my sight.

    Show me your strength, by falling apart,
    Cry me the tears of your aching heart.
    Bring forth a story of your feelings erosion,
    Pull down the glory, of escaping emotion.

    Treasure

    Tears stream down my cheek
    I watch you fly away
    To a kingdom unknown
    A paradise of better days

    A place of love is your stay
    Emotions haunt nevermore
    Sin is not a fear here
    Surroundings so pure

    Lies are no longer an issue
    The truth is what you find
    No more rage and hatred
    Peace too complicated for the human mind

    So comforting for me now
    The memories we share
    Close to my heart they stay
    Forget them I wouldn't dare

    To the end of my days
    I'll mourn you forever
    You were my only love
    My only true treasure

    If only, if only youd look into my eyes,
    and see that love for you hidden deep down inside.

    i want to laugh with you,
    to cry with you,
    and hold you for all time.

    but shes the one who makes you smile, shes the one you see.
    im just a friend, theres no way youd love me.

    I dont know how to tell you, or explain about that pain.
    You see, it hurts when you walk in the room with her and not with me.

    okay i admit it its jealousy im feeling,
    but im really having trouble dealing with this love.

    once again my dreams are crushed.
    once again my heart is squashed.

    but still i adore you,
    still i dont give up.
    Am I crazy or one day will I finally be in luck?
    And youll finally feel the same as i have all through this STUPID GAME!

    Steal A Soul

    You can steal a soul
    Just for your second chance
    But you will never be real
    You're just another image

    I choose to be tortured
    It makes me stronger
    In this life that craves hunger
    Until the end of the judgment fight

    Bless me with your gift of light
    Or embrace me with the darkness
    Feel the light sorrow swallowed
    Or let the black kiss you

    Stepping forth
    I need a cure for a soul's demise
    Reap the tears of the victim's mourns
    I yearn more to hear the suffer
    Demons call my name

    Killed before we killed them all
    I gave up on the righteous law
    I serve the justice that dwells in me
    Lifeless corpses are all I see

    All I can see

    Bless me with the
    Leaf of a tree
    On it I see
    Freedom and it's reign

    We are falling
    The light is calling
    Tears inside me
    Show on the outside

    Midnight's calling
    Mist resolving
    Crown me
    With the pure green leaf

    Praise to my father
    Blessed by the water
    Black night dark sky
    I hear the world's cry

    Bless me with the
    Leaf of a tree
    On it I see
    Freedom and it's reign

    A life of vengeance, a certain test
    After the grave, I still don't rest
    Engage the pressure
    Let it crumble

    Onward to the field
    Where justification is revealed
    Tools of steel seek rage and conquer
    Give life to the victims stalker

    Watch the footsteps but never follow
    Let another day, live tomorrow
    Steal a soul for a second chance
    But you're still just an image.
