London at Night


Under another cold starry night at London
I stand alone smoking all my fears away
Notions of crickets are brought by the wind
In between the roaring sounds of a busy town
I spot a cat’s eyes floating among shades of grey
And I wonder if I just made another friend
Blurred by the fog there are planes and lights,
And my body’s shaking from the strange weather
This cat purring on my lap almost feels like home
But home is a world away, under a sun so bright
Where the warm falling rain feels much better
Than this cold wind that is freezing me to the bone.
So we finally are where we’ve always wanted to be,
Kissing life in the mouth while dreams come true
Who would’ve thought it would feel so good?
It’s as if there were a thousand words inside of me
And none was perfect enough to be heard by you
But after all, perhaps neither they should…
My body’s still sitting here, absorbing the night
Even though my mind’s reaching for the stars
That the clouds are trying to hide in the blue
However, the young clouds are losing this fight
So between sights of planes and sounds of cars
I can’t forget that these stars look down on you too.

Tainted Grey Skies


Tainted grey skies
And wicked lullabies
Old memories or dreams
Closer than they seem
And your hand no longer in mine.
A childish laughter
An old man’s cry
A heart’s slaughter
A glass drank dry
And your smile no longer shines.
A howl in the wind
Bodies embracing sin
Smoke in a dark room
A mind and its doom
And your hand no longer in mine.
An empty bottle on the table
A red rose on the floor
The strong growing fable
No knocks on the door
And your smile no longer shines.
Hands losing grip
A promise on the lips
Failure’s bitter taste
A soul losing faith
And your hand no longer in mine.
In the mirror room once again
Regrets and sorrow on pale skin
Thoughts pouring down as rain
Reality colliding with dreams
And our smile no longer shines.
