long lost fantasy

I told the thoughts goodbye

waived them adieu 
as I put them all away
I won't go back and visit

nor do I wish to relieve
that long lost fantasy

Inner Peace

Another day, the sun is low
Setting in the west
All is as it should be
No different from the rest

Listening to my mp3
And thinking about you
Sitting on the patio
Nothing I need to do

Smiling about the things you say
I’m happy and at ease
My days didn’t always end this way
You have this affect on me

You’ve restored my inner peace
You’ve restored my repose
You’ve restored some things I lost
You’ve restored much more

I know that you are thinking of me
As I am thinking of you
Watching the same sunset
Each sunset that now seems new

the fog

the fog rolls in
blanketing my soul
there’s something I’ve lost

I had it yesterday
when the sun filled my sky
when I was at peace

you were here yesterday
is that the difference?
where you the sun that filled my sky?

all I know is
now you are gone
and something has changed

when will my sun shine again
and remove this fog
that surrounds my earth?

lost

the water deep, cold
I’m in way over my head
flailing, sinking, lost

no end

you always thought there would be no end

that like the willow, I would always bend 

but there comes a point, like it did for me

when you've had enough and have to leave

like your favorite jeans that have started to fray

you remember my eyes but my scent now fades

when you think there's no where that I'm gonna go

I've paid the piper for all that I owed
