A Love Unloved

you are

the page unturned

the fire unburned

the letter unsent

the tears unspent

you are

the song unsung

the violin unstrung

the poem unwritten

the words unspoken

you are

the seed unsown

you are

 love... unknown

The Temptation of Dreams

I saw in your eyes

a blinding vision

a passion, a fire

a spark of desire

But nothing is

what it seems

The temptation

 of dreams

The final illusion

Trapped inside

a memory

I wish I could

make you see

make you feel

make it real

Darken my eyes

Set me free

Matchstick Girl

Matchstick Girl

hear the forest call

The wind moans

around the trees

Under the leaves

the beetles crawl

Matchstick Girl

follow the sound

Around the trees

Under the leaves

Where the shadows fall

across the ground

Matchstick Girl

see the dancing flame

Around the trees

Under the leaves

Higher and higher

The blazing fire

Matchstick Girl

You'll get the blame

It's still the same

old wicked game

Matchstick Girl

that's your name

'Matchstick Girl

she started the fire!'

'Matchstick Girl

she's such a liar!'

'Lock her up till she dies!

She says she hears

the forest's cries!'

Matchstick Girl

It's not your fault

as you cannot fight

the elemental result

of this ancient rite

Matchstick Girl

dry your tears

truly blessed

is she who hears

You Make Me Feel

you are trapped in my  mind
in the maze of my dreams
haunting me

your whispers brush my cheek
and get tangled in my hair
tormenting me

your touch melts my heart
and scorches my soul
torturing me

your kiss leaves me breathless
and words die on my lips
confusing me

your eyes leave me vulnerable
and naked before you
shaming me

your gaze grazes my skin
and I embrace the pain
you make me feel
punishing me

you make me feel
