Why

Why do people leave
And take my heart with them?
Does it bring them joy
To know that my soul, bedlam

Were the stars not enough to keep you,
The dizzying heights of bright
Was the ice not slick, the cold not fright
The Christmas tree, a bit too slight

Why do people cry
It wrecks my sane facade
I wish that we could talk it out
Without the tears on the esplanade

Were the promises not enough to keep you
Futures, the ones that won't come
Could our unrelinquishing grip
Exhausted ambitions, fingers gone numb

Why do people go
While I'm all alone, cold
Do they hear the crack
The sigh
.
.
.
Of a chasm gone untold.

Home

  home

   həʊm

    noun

1.   1.

     the place where one lives permanently, especially as a member of a family or household.

Do not ask me where is home,
That is an answer I do not know.
Is that the land I choose to go
The starry nights far from my abode

Is it the culture that strives to be?
The assimilation, desensitisation,
De-nationalisation - Of my identity?

Is it the place where family is but,
A past in the mirror, a future to come?

Why do I not know home?

Why do I not know home?



Why do I not know home?




Because home is not but a place,
Where you are warm, where you are safe.
Home is not but a place,
Where you keep a job, your worries erased.

Home is in the heart,
Of the valleys and springs,
Traverse the cobbled path
See what street lamps bring.

Home is where the stars whisper
And the moon beckons.
On the wispy gales of sleep,
You're counting down the seconds -

The seconds to adventure,
The minutes to knowledge,
In the hour whence you've travelled,
Ignorance has fled the gate.

Home is your whole world,
Therein where your feet stand
Past down the empty vineyards;
Cathedrals; churchyards;
You gain strength

Home is where you grow,
Where humility is stowed.

Therein should my legs give way,
Know this!
That I'll always,
Walk until I see the light of day.

Oceans

I want you

Yeah I want you

And nothing comes close

To the way that I need you

I wish I can feel your skin

And I want you

From somewhere within

It feels like there's oceans

Between me and you once again

We hide our emotions

Under the surface and tryin' to pretend

But it feels like there's oceans

Between you and me

I want you

And I always will

I wish I was worth

But I know what you deserve

You know I'd rather drown

Than to go on without you

But you're pulling me down

It feels like there's oceans

Between you and me once again

We hide our emotions

Under the surface and try to pretend

But it feels like there's oceans

Between you and me

I want you

I want you

And always will

It feels like there's oceans

Between you and me
