Fire (30-05-2008)

Don't let the fire consume me
I don't want to feel charred again
Without any protection I know
That I would be in pain.

And yet the warmth does beacon
The light does shine so bright
His presence gave me comfort
His arms around me at night

A part of me is fighting
Another is letting go
The fire has gone, abating
But I still feel its' glow

United (22-05-2008)

The voices were raised,
Their passions came through
The world was a-changing
and where is the clue?

The problems are many,
The solvers are few
Yet we are all humans
We need to be true

To our core destiny
To our great call
United we stand
Divided we fall.

Tramonto (11-05-2008)

Mi sento gia sfinita
Alla fine della mia vita,
I miei miglior'anni
Son spariti, appassiti.

Il sole splendeva forte,
Ma ora sento la morte.
Un brivido mi attraversa
Mi sento stanca, persa.

La calda scia e' ancora in cielo
Anche se fa freddo, sento gelo
Nelle mie gambe e braccia,
nella mia mente, sulla mia faccia

Ma la pace mi sta chiamando
L'armonia, la sto sentendo,
Ci sara calma nel mio mondo
Finalmente, al mio tramonto.

Too many (09-05-2008)

I started it all as a lark and a game,
Yet got to depend on it, feels now not the same.
I should just quit now, whilst I am still ahead
Though something inside me spurs me instead.

I do crave attention and love and warm care
No more hurt and anger, no more feeling scared.
I promised to never depend on just one,
But now it's ridiculous, they're almost a crowd.

Yet all are so different, and all are so sweet
I do feel so cherished, and oh so complete,
I am in a quandary, don't know what to do
I love you, my men, and they chorus "me too!"
