No one told you when to run

And you run, and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter
Never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to nought
Or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desparation is the English way
The time is gone
The song is over
Thought I'd something more to say

If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that I’d like to do
Is to save every day
Till eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you

See me in the mirror if you want to
See me in the mirror if you really want to
Maybe not too clear, but the face you'll see is mine
Do you feel my eyes burning through you
Do you feel the burn when my eyes see through you
Do you see my eyes when they burn into your mind
I can feel the teardrops hit the ground where I'm layed
I can feel you breathing while I sleep through the day
See you in a vision in the dark with no light?
Your soul may go to heaven, but your heart's mine tonight

Sad.. but the hurt it seems lingers on, its so much easier to live life without a "heart", don't you think. You could save yourself a whole lot of trauma, and just enjoy the moment like we're meant to and of course then there would be no reason to run at all..

"the bind"

All young men dream,
but, at thirty five,
isn't it time you learned?

what you can lose will be lost.
What they cannot take
from you is the pain
of loss,the enduring pearl of pain-

that is yours,
till you learn to live at last,
without such punctual heartbreak.

Then they will take that too.

What would I give
To live where you are?
What would I pay
To stay here beside you?
What would I do to see you
Smiling at me?

Where would we walk?
Where would we run?
If we could stay all day in the sun?
Just you and me
And I could be
Part of your world

...Watch and you'll see
Some day I'll be
Part of your world

Part of Your World

We are not made to last..

Some will beg to stay
but I'm just passing through
A kiss of death or a kiss of joy
have the courage to take it as it comes
leave the door open
shut it when I leave
Don't blink because you'll miss it
don't cry because its too late
don't hold on too tight
just hold on till its right...

The only promise worth keeping is the one you never make.:)

posting as anon as this site seems to only allow anon commnents ;)

When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on
Don't let yourself go, 'cause everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes

Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along
When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go, (hold on)
When you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on

'Cause everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends
Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand
If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone

If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long,
When you think you've had too much of this life to hang on

Well, everybody hurts sometimes,
Everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes
And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
Everybody hurts. You are not alone

hey do people only post poetry here,
me thinks, cupid is at work on this blog,nice very,very nice.
memory
midnight not a sound on te pavement
has the moon lost her memory
she is smiling alone

in the lamplight the withered leaves collect at my feet
and the wind begins to move

memory all alone in the moonlight
i can dream of the old days
life was beautiful then,
i remember the time, i knew,
what happiness was
let the memory live again......

there are wonderful moments sometimes-a splash of colour, the sweet taste of kulfi on a sunday afternoon, that stand out purely by themselves, memories scattered loosely in the consciousness.they need not tell a story, yet moments lead from one to another in this tapestry that is ones life,... this song is one such moment.that twinkles before my minds eye.
