"She had been waiting,
for her knight.
Her proper gentleman,
the one who at night
would hold her tight,
the only way
that seemed right
to sleep.
So deep,
was her love
for someone she hadn't met yet,
it kept her away
from the others.
No prince
could ever save this
damsel in distress.
She was busy, anyway.
But on one
humid, busy day,
one said hello.
And in a blur of a year,
she realized
she had said 'yes',
with stone like Ocean
adorned on left hand.
She was happy.
She was going to unite
with one whom
she had searched
her entire life for.
One who loves her
for who she is,
and every thing
that implies.
He is no knight,
no master-commander,
just a man
who has a way with words;
or so he likes to think.
All she wants,
is to ink into passing
the change of last name.
A light love story,
that began two year ago,
one busy day.
Still-borne:
Seminally thistled,
Seemingly torn, owing
Substance to only nod
Stoically, truncated on nomadic embraces.
I have seen a stone,
Or the stone has seen me,
I do not know for certain!
I draw near it slowly.
The stone is so heavy,
Since I have nothing vital to do,
I start engraving a name on it,
The special one my heart does know!
I keep on carving her name,
Wishing to make her glow like flame!

Just remember you're not alone
I know how you feel
My heart was once stone
One day your heart I will capture
It I will not steal
Your heart I won't rapture
Your wounds I'll heal
Your tears I will dry
Your fears I'll take away
I promise we'll get by
I promise we'll make it to the next day
I promise our hearts will fly
Just promise you'll stay
Our hearts will join as one
Come take a walk with me
My tears weigh a ton
Lets set our minds and feelings free
To face my fear I have won
Lets have people see
We're having all the fun
Our relationship will remain
Our love will forever be

Once again I'm in a losing battle
Lost with no place to hide
As I walk I feel my bones rattle
Once again my heart has died
These thoughts to stop I've tried
Day and night I just go on crying
I have no more strength
Just let me go on dying
Once again to myself I fight
To myself I keep lying
This battle of mine is so long in length
Truth is no one is out there
Who will for me go that extra mile
No one for me to care
I just want this frown to go away
So I can smile
But nothing nice people can say
To show I mean something
To let me know they hear
But It's just games they play
Being alone is my biggest fear
Hurt is what I feel everyday
God is so unfair
What is left is hatered
To my heart you bring
A lasting tear
No one with me
Wants to forever be by my side
No one wants to stay
When they see me they turn around to hide
With me they don't want to be
I must remain alone
Till my dying day
And my heart
It turned back to stone
No more do I care
What people have to say
Because getting close to me will anyone dare

The seaport lying on the isle of Oriab;
Being a mighty city.
There is a canal which goes under the city
In a tunnel with granite gates;
Leading to the inland lake of Yath.
Parts of the city are built of bricks
Resembling the ancient ruins
On Yath's further shore.
The beacons on either side of the harbor
Are named Thon and Thal.
The lava-gatherers climb Mount Ngranek,
But not too high, might they fall;
To get bits of volcanic stone;
Still not reaching out to the gods.
The city is ruled by a congress
Of retired sea captains and traders;
Determining both laws and punishments.
Tales of the sunken city
Six nights out of Baharna
Are told in the taverns of Lhosk.
As light as snow, you passed me by
Your coldness swept me within
You left me feeling like a cloud at sunset
As your colours broke my skin
Don't mess with me I'm messed up enough already
Just one thought of you and I can't hold my fingers steady
But it's all within my head
Oh, you're all within my head
Golden fleece
All within my head
War and peace
All within my head
Golden fleece
All within my head
Ephemeral entity
All that's in my head
And I've never known a pair of eyes so precious
And I fall into them every time I look
For just a moment I'm ignorant of everything else
But it's a blissful ignorance when you're around
Then
As hard as rock it hits me
The very stone I threw
To get your brief attention
Comes flying back from you
And although I'n always looking I'm still surprised
When the words you speak hit me right between the eyes
That it's all within my head
Oh you're all within my head
Golden fleece
All within my head
War and peace
All within my head
Golden fleece
All within my head
Ephemeral entity
All that's in my head
Show me what you've woven
And show the children too
From ancient time
In weave design
Eight knots are born of you
The Book of Kells
And Lindisfame
In threads of time divine
Beginnings of
These words to you
That you might see them shine
But own you do
The deepest threads
These Celtic knots run true
And reading them
Like any book
Transparent pages grew
Your history
Through ages vast
Now proudly to display
One knot in time
Connect us too
Forever, through the day
