Other Poetry
Not necessarily mine, and not necessarily poetry

So they pulled your confidence
down with those verbal discrepancies
Now and then you'll gain what they've lost
through a challenge of renounced
Pain is only opposed
if you just stop feeling it
You might be able to use
the very thing that makes us up


I look to the sea.
Reflections in the waves
Spark my memory.
Some happy, some sad.
I think of childhood friends
And the dreams we had.
We lived happily forever
So the story goes.
But some how we missed out
On the pot of gold.
But we'll try
The best that we can
to carry on.


El Dorado

Gaily bedight a gallant knight
in sunshine and in shadow
who journeyed long, singing a song
in search of El Dorado

But he grew old, this knight so bold
and o'er his heart a shadow
fell as he found, not a spot of ground
that looked like El Dorado.

And as his strength failed him at length
he met a pilgrim shadow
"Shadow" said he "where can it be,
this land of El Dorado?"

"O'er the mountains of the moon,
and down the valley of the shadow.
Ride, boldly ride" the shade replied,
"if you seek for El Dorado."


In my life
There's been heartache and pain
I don't know how I can face it again
Can't stop now, I've traveled so far
Change this lonely life
I want to know what love is


Last night I waived goodbye
Now it seems years.
I'm back in the city
Where nothing seems clear.
With thoughts of me,
Holding you, bringing us near.
And tell me
When will our eyes meet?
When can I touch you?
When will this strong yearning end?
And when will I hold you again?


Where's your head at?
Don't let the walls cave in on you,
We can't live on, live on without you.
Don't let the walls cave in on you,
We can't live on, live on without you.
Don't let the walls cave in on you,
You get what you give that much is true.
Don't let the walls cave in on you,
You turn your world away from you.
Where's your head at?


Quando sono solo sogno all'orizzonte e mancan le parole
si lo so che non c'è luce in una stanza quando manca il sole
se non ci sei tu con me con me
Su le finestre mostra a tutti il mio cuore che hai acceso
chiudi dentro me la luce che hai incontrato per strada
Con te partirò
Paesi che non ho mai
veduto e vissuto con te
adesso sì li vivrò Con te partirò
su navi per mari
che io lo so
no, no, non esistono più
con te io li vivrò
Quando sei lontana sogno all'orizzonte
e mancan le parole e io sì lo so che sei con me con me
tu mia luna tu sei qui con me
mio sole tu sei qui con me con me con me
