[Polaris]

Just hope

After so many days, I still hope to see the sun shining...
I still believe you will come here and opening
Your big arms that has been holding me for these months
All you left was your single pictures in our albums.

You told me that would be the last day of your life,
But I kept isnisting that wasn't a goodbye.
I wish now I wouldn't have promissed you I wouldn't die...
I feel the sun colder and there's no rain drops falling from the sky.

Heaven shuts the gates for you to have your own peace of mind...

You send me your tears everyday of two hands set appart
You lenght your touch when I'm affraid
But, my love, the most important thing I can't have...
Your beautiful eyes for me to stare...
I need more inspiration... I feel this sucked... Anyway what do you think?

[Momiji]

It doesn't suck. But I think you're right when you say you need more inspiration. Do your best to find it. It took me 2 months (from April to Yesterday) to realize what my inspiration to write was.

My best strategy is to not plan a poem at all, just write it when the words come to mind. And if you get stuck, try to improvise. Giving up on a poem should only be a last resort.

I can sense the feeling in your poem..but I think the lyrics should reflect them just a bit more. Emotion and feelings are what makes poems like this effective.

I worte these ones a week ago maybe... These are some lyrics not poems... but oh well they can be also read as poems The numbers are parts only with instruments!

Tonight - This one is very celtic and very simple. If I had a micro and an irish flute I'd play but I don't have them...

In the dreams
I took so long
To realize
Where you were,
In my innocence
Of a little girl
That used to play
And now her world
Took just one way

Because tonight
We'll reach each other hands
After all this time
Why didn't you come
My shiny knight?

[30 seconds]

Between my secrets
And memories
Of lost worlds,
And cities burning
Taking me to a place
Where death will arrive

Because tonight
We'll reach ou destiny
After so many time
I'll leave this life
And we'll walk with glory
To paradise

Believer This song is a mix between Keane style and LP (soomething calm from them)

In this garden I've walked
So badly to reach
In the sea with no water
To take my insanity
I pray

Recalling the name
Of a man that's on my mind
Keeping insane
After all that was left behind

But I hold you at night
Fighting against nightmares
And visions of my dark side
I don't know
Where did you go...

[20 seconds]

Are the promisses we make
Some useless amount of words?
Everything you gave me I take
it all away for my own

Reaching the end endlessly everytime
Remembering the smiles and kisses
That changed my life
I pray

But I still hold you at night
Fighting dreams and nightmares
That evde from my dark side
And you know
Where they come from

[30 seconds]

My love
Why have you gone?
why have you gone?
Why have you gone?
