it's just me and my empty heart
streetlight on a lonely night
it's just me and my lonely soul
trying to find the way home
but i want so much
i wish so much
i hope so much, yet i fail to touch
when it all comes down, i wanna be with you
but i want so much it's reality
(you dont know how it's gonna be)
i'd be lying if i said im fine
my hopes, desires all broken dreams
and i wanna find the words to say
but i can no longer connect with my soul
but i want so much
i wish so much
i hope so much, yet i fail to touch
when it all comes down, i wanna be with you
but i want too much, it's reality
(i dont know how its gonna be)
save my soul...
oh...
i want so much
i wish too much
i hope alot and i fail to touch
but i break it down into simpler terms
i just wanna be with you...
it's reality...
but i want so much
i wish so much
i hope so much, yet i fail to touch
when it all comes down, i wanna be with you
but i want so much it's reality
(we dont know how it's gonna be)
(note: 1 of the best songs i've written taken from the album i entitled "Fallen Memory Lane")

Jewel Kilcher's songs
these 2 songs by Jewel Kilcher really made me think about life. try and figure out what she's trying to say in the 2 songs.
LAST DANCE RODEO
lungs fill up with concrete, her voice is all you can hear
red lips and a screwdriver, rapped around some mink clad, queer
and you know that she's no diamond in this damn jukebox hell
'cause only fools gold fools fools, in 2 bit hotels
but she's cooler than all that; a real high class cat
queen of the last dance rodeo
under the gas lamps the air is thick in velvetine
your bones fill with hunger your heart fills with longing
you're no longer human you're an insatiable hole
you wanna bury your face forever in the navel of her soul
'cause you know
you need is a heart to call home;
you need is a heart to call home... that's all
light bulbs and nylons and plastic chandeliers
objects are only objects; they can't feel when you're near
but tangerine lips and lily white breasts
these things are eternal, inside them humanity rests
her skin's like a seashell; you listen to her soul
like an old time radio show
'cause under the gas lamps the air is thick in velvetine
your bones fill with hunger, your heart fills with longing
you're no longer human you're an insatiable hole
you wanna bury your face forever in the navel of her soul
'cause you know
you need is a heart to call home
you need is a heart to call home; thats call
don't wander too far, my 1 constant star
darkness exists except where you are
my feet are filled with wondering, they follow your own
'cause everywhere you are feels like home
so search all you miners, you hunters of dreams
look in the alleyways for what you know is not what it seems
and feign all you maidens, but don't resist too long
least you look behind you and see your own shadow is gone
don't you know it's the last rodeo
yet find yourselves a cowboy, some one to keep you warm when it's cold
'cause under the gas lamps the air is thick in velvetine
your bones fill with hunger your heart with longing
you're no longer human you're an insatiable hole
you wanna bury your face forever in the navel of her soul
'cause you know
you need is a heart... to call home
you need is a heart... to call home
you need is a heart to call home (yeah yeah)
you need is a heart all you need
coz all you need
coz all you need is a heart, thats all
that's all
STEVENVILLE, TEXAS
housewives told to recapture their youth
by wearing floral print and suede; fixing their hairdos
with pc chemical free hairspray
martha steward taught em to make on tv
i was raised a farm girl but now im too far from home
all alone on the road
trying to figure out who i am
now the stardust has turned to sand; the sand has turned to stone
on the star making machine
im 31 years old that ain't the end but it aint where i began
my daddy; he wrote songs and he broke colts and went back to school to get a degree
now he teaches music to kids; he taught music to me
and this alaskan girl has been living in stevenville, texas, that is
yes you guessed it, i moved there coz i fell in love with a man
i moved his ex ladies things out of the closet
the same closet i moved my things back in
no it did not make me feel that great as if to demonstrate everything's temporary if you give it enough time
im 31 years old that aint the end but it sure aint where i began
but hey im just a kid; i've got nothing to lose
im the singer of songs, im the player of crowds
hey mom look - im an entertainer, im a mordern day troubador
trying to find justic with 6 strings
trying to make the world make sense out of me
trying to be loved completely; trying to love honestly
trying to find a decent high noon cup of tea in another hotel
im trying to listen to the leaves speak trying to steal secrets from the fishes in the creek
trying to figure out who i am
a pretty mediocre cook and even worse: mathamatician; maybe a mum 1 day
what will it be?
im trying to figure out who i am, but there's no hand to hold
no doc martin luther king just sycophants and mindlessness on tv
we all read magazines for the latest way to behave
so hey why not follow me; the blonde bombshell deity
i'll sell you neat ideas without big words and a lil' bit of cleavage
to wash it all down
you know everybody thought godard was a clown
man that aint gonna be me
im 31 years old that aint the end but it sure aint where i began
i guess it just makes it stevenville, texas

Last of Days
It was the last day of summer. She was waiting for him along the forest path where trees were alined.
As the wind blew she heard footsteps and heavy breathing. Slowly, she turned around. There he stood, sweaty, an image of perfection in her eyes. But there was a sense of heavy awkwardness between the two of them already. Somewhere between the perfectly drawn lines, there was a slight curve.
He greeted her with his warm embrace. It was for a brief second, then they let go.
After exchanging weird glances at each other, she blurted, "I can't go on like this anymore!"
He stared at her, allowing the sentence to sink in. The stare was hard and cold, and even her own breath felt cold to her.
"What are you saying?" he ventured.
"Both of us can't go on like this anymore. I'm sorry." The sadness in her tone surprised her. She didn't know letting him go was going to be so painful.
Deep in her heart she knew he understood, but as most guys did, he defended himself. "You're not much of a fighter," he retorted.
"Maybe that's because you can't even fight yourself," she said.
Both of them eyed each other coldly. Around them, the breeze swayed, with gusts of wind blowing at them occasionally.
Then he turned, his face towards the sunset, his back towards her. That image of perfection was gone.
She felt a tear roll down her cheek. All around her, leaves started falling, rushing to meet the air.

You Finally Came
you came into my life
gently, rapidly, quietly
you made me feel
you came into my mind
slowly but surely, silently
you somehow crept in
you came into my soul
ever so purely and beautifully
like the breeze passing me by
grasping my being
you came into my heart
evenly paced, wonderfully sweet
you were everything to me
you finally came into my life
and you are all this to me
gently, rapidly, quietly
you made me feel
you came into my mind
slowly but surely, silently
you somehow crept in
you came into my soul
ever so purely and beautifully
like the breeze passing me by
grasping my being
you came into my heart
evenly paced, wonderfully sweet
you were everything to me
you finally came into my life
and you are all this to me

Sweet Whispers
sweet whispers
ringing through my head
i once had you
those quiet nights of talking
silent memories
i couldn't let go of them
now they are falling apart
drifting away from me
i never had your heart
you never had mine
but i miss your innocence
my innocence
now my quiet nights
are full of remorse
i lie on my bed, numb
unfeeling, not knowing where to turn
sweet whispers
fading, fading, fading, fading...
and they are gone into the night
ringing through my head
i once had you
those quiet nights of talking
silent memories
i couldn't let go of them
now they are falling apart
drifting away from me
i never had your heart
you never had mine
but i miss your innocence
my innocence
now my quiet nights
are full of remorse
i lie on my bed, numb
unfeeling, not knowing where to turn
sweet whispers
fading, fading, fading, fading...
and they are gone into the night

Tiny Things
all the things you've done and said
can you take them back?
those tiny things you've said
those little things you've done
can you take it all away?
can you take all this pain away?
those tiny things people do and say
make them a little too fake
and its a little too late for them to change
and you
maybe you don't remember me
but i can't forget
though we were together
we were living in separate worlds
i can't forget you now
can you take them back?
those tiny things you've said
those little things you've done
can you take it all away?
can you take all this pain away?
those tiny things people do and say
make them a little too fake
and its a little too late for them to change
and you
maybe you don't remember me
but i can't forget
though we were together
we were living in separate worlds
i can't forget you now
White Lies
little lies like acid rain
through the town
falls on my skin
burning a mark
you lies seep through
the cracks of my injured heart
like the acid, it burns a scar
white lies
harmless lies that are told
but they still hurt
and yes
all those unspoken truthes
and untold stories of hurt
the wind carries these lies
all of them are once again discovered
the lies break me deeply
and i cant understand anything
your words are slurred
your apologies are not sincere
and like acid rain
it comes and it goes
through the town
falls on my skin
burning a mark
you lies seep through
the cracks of my injured heart
like the acid, it burns a scar
white lies
harmless lies that are told
but they still hurt
and yes
all those unspoken truthes
and untold stories of hurt
the wind carries these lies
all of them are once again discovered
the lies break me deeply
and i cant understand anything
your words are slurred
your apologies are not sincere
and like acid rain
it comes and it goes

Standing Still
you run towards her
you catch hold of her shoulders
you start to shake her hard
you're sobbing
she grins a grin of betrayal
you cry out in pain
you can't stop
she was by you all along
and now she's just gone
she stands still
you sob even harder
and you shake her so much more
you yell at her; she closes her ears
you tried to tell her how much she meant to you
the words just come out slurred
you can't reach her
her soul is gone
and you sob even more
with her just standing still
time and the world passes the two of you
without sympathy
and you remain crying
she remains still
you catch hold of her shoulders
you start to shake her hard
you're sobbing
she grins a grin of betrayal
you cry out in pain
you can't stop
she was by you all along
and now she's just gone
she stands still
you sob even harder
and you shake her so much more
you yell at her; she closes her ears
you tried to tell her how much she meant to you
the words just come out slurred
you can't reach her
her soul is gone
and you sob even more
with her just standing still
time and the world passes the two of you
without sympathy
and you remain crying
she remains still
False/Gone
i can't believe you're really gone
all that false hope you gave me
i really try to say
i won't fall back to you
but it's really hard
to see you walk away into the rain
you told me you were the liar
but what am i?
im lying to myself here
and after the smoke clears
you'd still be away
i can't believe you're really gone
without you im just passing time
i can't look for answers in my bed
my heart has begun to sound hollow
and maybe when i see the light at the end of the road
i could move on
but you just keep me from moving on
one minute appearing, saying you would be staying
and the next say you've gotta leave
and i can't believe you've just left
just when the grey skies were clearing
now im lost on my own
with no one to fall back on
you are gone
the false pretense is over
but our memories haunt me
once i touch them
they burst open with you
i can't believe you're gone
(this is actually meant to be a song, so some phrases are repeated many times. still working on the tune)

Sea Glass
hundreds of shards coloured green
all collected in a glass jar
all the broken shards were taken from my heart
there went the long line of people
the downpour was stopping
i smiled for the casual
i was trying to steal the dying day
and i don't know why im so cold
you stared for the silence
the trains pulled in
i smiled for the relief of the tension
i couldn't reach you already
you were gone as the train disappeared
into the sunset
the sea glass was all collected and given by you
i didn't understand why you had to go
you never told me
you were leaving for Vienna
and you said you were protecting me from you
you were preventing me from dying
but i was still trying to steal the dying day
the coldness of your smile
the empty look on your face
something was wrong, you were already gone
the train pulled in
you slid in casually
you didn't turn to catch one last look
that was our goodbye
you never came back
all collected in a glass jar
all the broken shards were taken from my heart
there went the long line of people
the downpour was stopping
i smiled for the casual
i was trying to steal the dying day
and i don't know why im so cold
you stared for the silence
the trains pulled in
i smiled for the relief of the tension

that was our goodbye

Blood Rose
the cold war
the war just rages silently
against the shadow
and the light
it affects us mentally
and it creates a border
all of us are separated
and once we meet
in broad daylight
we pass each other silently
but in the stillness
one of us has lost
everyday is just a false pretence
an act
all of us are fake
our smiles, our laughter
the matter never rests
our feelings towards each other
will always remain the same
and what is that something we are fighting for?
it's something out of reach
that we are reaching for
something that tears us apart
the rose sheds the final drop of blood among us
the battle has lost
my soul is gone
but we still meet admist broad daylight
the battle still hasn't ended
but the rose we were fighting for
has lost its blood
the war just rages silently
against the shadow
and the light
it affects us mentally
and it creates a border
all of us are separated
and once we meet
in broad daylight
we pass each other silently
but in the stillness
one of us has lost
everyday is just a false pretence
an act
all of us are fake
our smiles, our laughter
the matter never rests
our feelings towards each other
will always remain the same
and what is that something we are fighting for?
it's something out of reach

the rose sheds the final drop of blood among us
the battle has lost
my soul is gone

the battle still hasn't ended
but the rose we were fighting for
has lost its blood

Emotions (Breathing)
you turn, i turn, i smile, you smile, you run, i fall...
(inhale)
cherry blossoms drift simply down
the world passes by bleakly
i can't think
my heart is shattering
you are cutting me slowly, but surely
im falling
hopes rising
i look across
you turn
we stare at each other
awkward silence between us
i force a smile
my hopes are falling
i look tensely back at you
anticipation tingles my skin
you stare coldly
not knowing what to do
then a forced smile comes
you should not have smiled
seeing you force a smile
is worse than you not looking at me
then you turn and run
im clenching my fist
im worn out
can my heart break any further?
im starting to miss you
i miss looking into the ebony black eyes
i miss your voice
i turn, knowing my heart won't follow
(exhale)

Evergreen
the sea
always changing colour
in different shades of sunlight
and as moonlight shines at night
its pitch black
the sky
always changing colour
in the early dawn it's a light shade of peach
the sky is blue on a cloudless day
entirely grey on a rainy day
black at night
the land
always changing colour
it could have been green with grass
and now it's just a desert of orange sand
and in winter
the floor is carpeted white
the trees
most of them change colour
in fall the leaves turn red and gold
drifting down to the floor
the evergreens
always in a shade of green
always changing colour
in different shades of sunlight
and as moonlight shines at night
its pitch black
the sky

in the early dawn it's a light shade of peach

Anticipation
heart felt leaps
i stumble but pick myself up
and im waiting
something inside me jumps
my heart hammers painfully against my chest
my cheeks are turning from peach to pale
my palms are sweaty
they are clammed tightly shut
my nails are painfully digging into the flesh
two feelings combined into one
hope and worry
but i still look longingly
i feel my stomach drop
something inside me is stirring
im still waiting
how long does anticipation take?

Yellow Twilight
twilight
a bewitching hour
unfolding the dawn
but dawn hasn't come
a moonless twilight
silence pierces through the air
every corner you turn to
is pitch black
a very bewitching hour
every alley you turn to
there's always more than what meets the eye
the twilight is like a dream
it turns your nightmares into reality
it turns black to yellow
a few stars twinkle above
the darkness haunts the streets
the yellow twilight behind
dawn hasn't come
the bewitching hour still hanging loose
no one lingers in the streets
everywhere is pitch black
no wind breezes through the streets
it's the stillest of nights
and the yellow twilight still lingers
but the dawn has come
a bewitching hour
unfolding the dawn
but dawn hasn't come
a moonless twilight
silence pierces through the air
every corner you turn to
is pitch black
a very bewitching hour
every alley you turn to
there's always more than what meets the eye
the twilight is like a dream
it turns your nightmares into reality
it turns black to yellow
a few stars twinkle above
the darkness haunts the streets
the yellow twilight behind
dawn hasn't come
the bewitching hour still hanging loose
no one lingers in the streets
everywhere is pitch black
no wind breezes through the streets
it's the stillest of nights
and the yellow twilight still lingers
but the dawn has come
Light Frost
the darkest winter
vines don't shoot up
it's the winter soltice
the darkest winter night
everything is still
the lake's water is frozen
the slender moon pale against the dark blanket
stars sprinkled across the sky
the tinest light from the moon
the stars add the slightest movement of the world
the darkest winter
the wind blows cold above the chimmney tops
no one is awake
the darkest mist
envelops the scenery
the darkest frost
but the moon shines on it
the lightest frost
winter is ending
vines don't shoot up
it's the winter soltice
the darkest winter night
everything is still
the lake's water is frozen
the slender moon pale against the dark blanket
stars sprinkled across the sky
the tinest light from the moon
the stars add the slightest movement of the world
the darkest winter
the wind blows cold above the chimmney tops
no one is awake
the darkest mist
envelops the scenery
the darkest frost
but the moon shines on it
the lightest frost
winter is ending

Sky and Wind (Blue and Silver Grey)
the sky meets the land
far across the ocean
the wind has begun to roll the waves
above everything
the blue sky hovers
clouds rolling over the blue patch
the sky meets the ocean
and as the sun sets
the line is gone
the wind twirls from the sky
down to the earth
it gracefully touches the ground
and begins the destruction
while the innocent blue sky
turns to an angry grey
bolts of light streak down to earth
the sky is angry
and so is the wind
and everything is still
everything is gone
but far off in the distance
the rolling of waves can be heard
far across the ocean
the wind has begun to roll the waves
above everything
the blue sky hovers
clouds rolling over the blue patch
the sky meets the ocean
and as the sun sets
the line is gone
the wind twirls from the sky
down to the earth
it gracefully touches the ground
and begins the destruction
while the innocent blue sky
turns to an angry grey
bolts of light streak down to earth
the sky is angry
and so is the wind
and everything is still
everything is gone
but far off in the distance
the rolling of waves can be heard

Transparent Glass
misty breath forms
on the glass window
she places her hands
next to her face
she looks longingly inside
it's cold inside
he drapes his sweater over him
and walks slowly to the glass
he looks directly at her
the glass from the outside is cold
her hands feel numb from the cold
but her stomach feels warm
inside is extremely cold
the aircon is blasting
everyone inside is enjoying themselves though
but he isn't
stardust is in his hair
his mouth has drops of water
his eyes are watery blue
she stares longingly into those eyes
he looks at her chestnut hair
her hazel eyes reflect longing
she looks so small and helpless
he goes out
her eyes follow
gently taking her arm
he leads her into the party
both of them go, not looking back
the transparent glass has their hand markings
on the glass window
she places her hands
next to her face
she looks longingly inside
it's cold inside
he drapes his sweater over him
and walks slowly to the glass
he looks directly at her
the glass from the outside is cold
her hands feel numb from the cold
but her stomach feels warm
inside is extremely cold
the aircon is blasting
everyone inside is enjoying themselves though
but he isn't
stardust is in his hair
his mouth has drops of water
his eyes are watery blue
she stares longingly into those eyes
he looks at her chestnut hair
her hazel eyes reflect longing
she looks so small and helpless
he goes out
her eyes follow
gently taking her arm
he leads her into the party
both of them go, not looking back
the transparent glass has their hand markings

Summer and Autumn (Yellow and Brown)
Life
a gift, a miracle
the smallest vine
pushes its way up
a new life
Summer
a season
the sun shines down
mercilessly
the clouds do its job
it blocks the sun
but not for long
and the days go by
Summer
all in bloom
but its ending
very soon
and the summer fades slowly
the days get shorter and colder
the sun isn't so hot anymore
leaves of crimson and yellow
all drift to the forest floor
apples sprawled across the ground
all ripe and juicy
Autumn
a cooler season
leaves all change
into different shades
of the sunset
and the crimson leaves turn brown
they lie on the ground
till there isn't any life in them
Autumn
fading fast
all the trees are bare
except for one
it holds the last leaf of the autumn
the wind blows
the branch breaks
the leaf drifts down
Autumn
it cries and sighs in remorse
all the leaves are gone
it fades away
and winter sets in
a gift, a miracle
the smallest vine
pushes its way up
a new life
Summer
a season
the sun shines down
mercilessly
the clouds do its job
it blocks the sun
but not for long
and the days go by
Summer

Black Queen of Hearts
life is a clock
we can reverse time
to undo our wrongs
and for that, life's perfect
until the day the clock stops
it is at midnight
but time still goes on
without the clock
we can't reverse time anymore
life was once a clock
before the clock stopped
i briefly remember playing a card game
i had cheated
the last card i had touched
was the black queen of hearts
i had won the game
but not the battle of mind
when life was a clock
i didn't bother going back
correcting my mistakes
i always thought i could reverse time
anytime i wanted
but i was wrong
and it was 11.45pm
i made up my mind
i was about to reverse my life
when the clock striked 12pm
i couldn't go back
i never corrected my card game
and i never touched the black queen of hearts
ever again
that was my last mistake
before the clock stopped
something which time can't heal
we can reverse time
to undo our wrongs
and for that, life's perfect
until the day the clock stops
it is at midnight
but time still goes on
without the clock
we can't reverse time anymore
life was once a clock
before the clock stopped
i briefly remember playing a card game

The Cold Light of the Day
you sprint before it catches you
in the cold light of the day
everything is watching you
everything can see you
and the world follows
silently behind you
but it's behind you
not in front
as you are sprinting away
you are moving closer
to something
that puts the world behind you
you can't hide at night
but you rest at night
from your running
and the enemy catches you
but you tell yourself you are in a dream
and the next morning
you are living in that dream
of the enemy who hasn't caught you
no wonder the day light is so cold
and it's true
you can't tell the difference
between fantasy and reality
in the cold light of the day
everything is watching you
everything can see you
and the world follows
silently behind you
but it's behind you
not in front
as you are sprinting away
you are moving closer
to something
that puts the world behind you
you can't hide at night
but you rest at night
from your running
and the enemy catches you
but you tell yourself you are in a dream
and the next morning
you are living in that dream
of the enemy who hasn't caught you
no wonder the day light is so cold
and it's true
you can't tell the difference
between fantasy and reality

Silence of the Wind
it hits like a tornado hits
without warning, without caution
and just as suddenly as it began
it stops
you step back to inspect the damage
the wind tears through the country side
moving one mountain and the next
but the next day everything is gone
the mountains have all fallen
and just when you think
the wind is gone
it comes tearing through your life
just like a destroyer
it destroys your happiness
your life
the wind silences the world
they stare in disbelief at the damage
and watch the wind in the distance
twirling away
and now
the wind has gone
you sit by me
as the two of us stare at the damage
through the ebony blackness of the sky
the crescent pierces the darkness
and no one speaks
the silence begins again
without warning, without caution
and just as suddenly as it began
it stops
you step back to inspect the damage
the wind tears through the country side
moving one mountain and the next
but the next day everything is gone
the mountains have all fallen
and just when you think
the wind is gone
it comes tearing through your life
just like a destroyer
it destroys your happiness
your life
the wind silences the world
they stare in disbelief at the damage
and watch the wind in the distance
twirling away
and now
the wind has gone
you sit by me
as the two of us stare at the damage

the crescent pierces the darkness
and no one speaks

Silver Against Time
and here we are standing
at this place that we've known before
where the sands of time run through
memories linking our past in here
all of us are holding hands
silver outlined faintly against gold
a choir of angels sings quietly above
we just stand in remorse
laughing and crying
darkness and light
death and life
all found here
this place where the waters of time pass
but time stops here
no one has named this place
its just a quiet haven
our hands are still linked
the choir's voice has faded
the rushing of air takes its place
the sands of time is blown away
the waters of time frozen
and time stops for eternity
whats left is the silver
trapped against time
at this place that we've known before
where the sands of time run through
memories linking our past in here
all of us are holding hands
silver outlined faintly against gold
a choir of angels sings quietly above
we just stand in remorse
laughing and crying
darkness and light
death and life
all found here
this place where the waters of time pass
but time stops here
no one has named this place
its just a quiet haven
our hands are still linked
the choir's voice has faded
the rushing of air takes its place
the sands of time is blown away
the waters of time frozen
and time stops for eternity
whats left is the silver
trapped against time
Slate Blue
the day is fading once again
another uneventful day
but you have stolen my heart again
taken it from its place
the last glimmer of the sun
glimmering over the water
sitting here near the ocean
my t-shirt and jeans are damp
all i can see is you
the clouds have turned from white to grey
sunset has come at last
the battle is won my soul is gone
with all the things you said
and the battle between the mind and heart
just continues like a war raging
regions in my heart still untamed
has my heart stopped beating?
and the day is fading once again
just like a strand in the wind
water bites at my jeans
you've captured my heart again
another uneventful day
but you have stolen my heart again
taken it from its place
the last glimmer of the sun
glimmering over the water
sitting here near the ocean
my t-shirt and jeans are damp
all i can see is you
the clouds have turned from white to grey
sunset has come at last
the battle is won my soul is gone
with all the things you said

Note on Elbony Black
its about a small boy, no more than 5, who was lost in the woods. but he was brought up so well by his parents he was aware of the danger around him and what he had to do without his eyesight. he used his other senses to get him home. he knew how to get across the river and how to recognise the floor he was on. and most importantly, he knew who his mother was. i hope all of you get the message...
Elbony Black
and wandering deeper and deeper into the night, he stumbled across rocks and twigs. the night was a blindfold. testing his eyesight, he put his hand in front of his face and waved it.
all he saw was the blackness of the night and felt the air circulating around him.
by the texture of the ground, he knew he was on some kind of forest.
he couldnt see anything, so he had to use his other senses.
stumbling and groping around, he made his way across the uneven ground. the blackness stretched endlessly, from below to above.
suddenly, he stopped. he heard water. it was very nearby. the water was rushing very very fast. it was a waterfall. he was near a waterfall.
he went down on his hands and knees and felt for the water. a cold splash hit one of his hands. he knew he couldnt wade in the water; the currents would sweep him away.
his hands groped till they came across a log. it was thick enough. he slowly sprawled his body on the log, got on his hands and knees and started crawling. fast.
and before he knew it, he was on the other side.
the floor felt different. it felt faintly familiar. he felt he knew the way from there onwards. confidently, he walked on.
a bright light shone ahead. he sprinted happily across.
and fell into the arms of his mother.

From Grey to White
and what if
the sun didn't come out today
would i still see you
the way i do now?
or would you just be my shadow?
and what if
all of us wore masks
and even if i knew you
inside out
would i still see you the way i do now?
or would i just see your mask?
and if we could only look at a person
from the back
would my view of your back
be different from the front?
or will i just see another you?
or maybe one day
when i look back and see my shadow is gone
would i see you behind me blocking the sun?
and if you were to see me
just across from the room
would i be the same
if you looked at me up close?
and maybe if the moon comes crashing down on us
we would still see each other
but our faces would be taunt with terror
trying to run away from the disaster
and now im looking at you and you at me
the faces we know so well
will there ever come a day
you won't recognise me anymore?

Redish Pink
another usual and boring day at school today.
english was fun... i loved Iain's story. hahas... im never eating ang ku kuahs ever again!
english class was the best; the class exchanged each other's story and read it. Ms Dana was randomly switching around the stories. Zach got my mystery story. I was passing mine to Alister and she just took it away. hahas.
Alister's 1 was average. it has a storyline, but its scattered here and there. Jodie's ghost story was good. I didn't quite like her mystery story. a bit too... weird. hahas!
and mine? hmmm... better than Alister's I think. Ewan's story was more or less the same to Iain's, just that his didn't involve ang ku kuah offerings. haha.
our rehearsal went ok. I love scene 5. it's the best man! scene 3 (where Jodie and Alister "fall in love") was also pretty good. the grade 8s and 9s were helping us along too.
and finally, piano. I didn't really have the patience for it, but hey, i moved on to the last song of the book!
Jodie, if you ever read this, cheer me on!
today im in a pretty wild mood anyways... just to warn all of you. just feeling high... and happy.
i'll try and blog anyways.

Through It All
this post is dedicated to my 5 best friends: claris, alister, louisa, jodie and nicole.
memories frozen in time
fall onto my lap like leaves
memories frozen in time
gathering around me
it ties me to all those times
where we stuck by each other
through thick or thin
my heart's locked room
is burst open with these memories
all good and bad
but they don't really matter
what matters is
we still have each other's hearts
locked into our own hearts
memories frozen in time
fall onto my lap like leaves
memories frozen in time
gathering around me
it ties me to all those times
where we stuck by each other

Thunder Black
im really pissed now.
some people just don't learn.
but for eras, it has been like that.
from the beginning of time, people have started the art of lying.
the definition of lying: telling stuff completely different from the subject a person has told you.
and secrets are supposed to be kept.
and people twist and turn the truth until its like you are the 1 to blame or the person in the opposite party is.
and cads. or playboys. they all exist. all those close friends of mine should know who im refering to.
arrgh... im still so freaking pissed.
when i say freaking, i mean totally. frigging is only semi.
ok i guess im going soon.

Maroon
im now at my parent's friend's place. my parent's friend was kind enough to lend me his labtop.
and that stupid idiot hasn't come online yet.
dinner was boring. mainly adult talk.
i was yawning whenever they changed subject.
and before i knew it... BOOM... they were talking about us generation.
mainly complaining about how fast we were. like doing stuff they did when they were 17.
cant blame us. we are the mordernised version of their old 1.
without us, ipods wouldnt have been invented. ok fine, they would have been. but the ipod shops would have to close down after 1 month.
their ipods wouldnt really have ben sold. mainly, parents buy it for their kids.
thank us, the apple shop that sells ipods.
anyways i have nothing more to post about.
comment on my blogs.
my cbox refuses to be set up. sigh...

Sunlit Bronze

i've decided something for my blog titles. whatever mood im feeling, i find a colour to describe my mood. unless i have a great title in mind that doesn't involve colours.
ok its abit early in the day to blog much. mainly, my whole morning consisted of watching tv. i was watching some lame shows on kids central, actually. something like pretty cure, winx club and some other childish shows.
i didnt have anything better to do, like i said.
then i listened to music. kelly clarkson mainly. and jewel and avril lavigne.
then after yawning, i came straight here to blog.
so... my cbox should be up by tuesday. post me a comment if i forget please.
