The sun refused to shine..

And all the guests were guessing there,
Fake tender smiles blinded many a doubtful eye,
it's almost too much to bear,
give a careless rose a thorn for her to needle all her life...

The sun refused to shine,
Oh, the sun, it refused to shine...

Oh the one you chose was wrong,
he will only brush away and paint your dreams all blue,
I know it won't be long,
a bridal flower crushed 'neath his unloving shoe...

The sun refused to shine,
Oh, the sun, it refused to shine...

You hold the lies you sold yourself,
still you clutch an ancient life, a holy fragment of the truth,
there's a burning need for the wealth,
of a settled life to calm the spirit of an unsettled youth...

The sun refused to shine,
Oh, the sun, it refused to shine......

Tuesday troubles...

Today, I see this town, blanketed with snow,
Lullabies circling over head,
But silence echoes throughout the alley ways,
This town is empty tonight,
The ones who are alive have already left, they ran far, far away,
They ran to a place where the sun beams down,
They ran to a place where jewels constantly rest in the night sky,
They ran and ran until they could no longer see,
til they could no longer see this town I'm in...

Power

How can all of the memories that once empowered me now knock me down...
How come all the dreams I had are now filled with black...
How can all of the days I felt like a queen have left me without a crown...
How come ambition has turned its back....

Tell me, how I have lost my power?

Here's looking at you kid...

I just found this Piece the other day, I remember hearing the song "Here's looking at you kid" by The Gaslight Anthem.... there is a line
"And sometimes girls have those eyes that'll cut you to ribbons sometimes"
I just got an image and had to put it on paper!

How do you know you are alive?

Well, I always post poems on here so I thought I would do something different instead!

Today, I woke up so happy, as I always do these days... Nothing seems to get me down anymore. Anger and stress seem silly on the big scale of things, don't they? I mean, we go from day to day stressing and moaning, when there is always something to smile for. Whether it be the laughter of your child, or a funny picture (Like the mini-cow I saw the other day!!) or a song you love, whether it be seeing a plant reaching out towards the light a little bit more, or seeing a butterfly pearched upon your window, Just learn to smile.

The question arose the other day "How do you know you are alive?".... Of course, the fact that you breathe and swallow and move is proof enough, but how do you really know you are alive, your soul is alive? When you have something to live for, when someone or something is relying on you for life or happiness...... Find your something to live for...
