Lost is the Reason

By therumreview

You see me standing

You see me cry.

Lost is the reason,

lost is the why.

 

Morning is the light,

light should fill the day.

But lost is the reason,

and darkness has it’s way.

 

When you wanna be lovin

When you wanna be givin.

Lost is the reason

For this to be worth livin.

 

My love still has meaning.

I want my years with you.

Do you know the reason

you do what you do?

 

You sparked the fire.

Then left it all alone.

Do you have a reason,

to tend to this home?

 

Time for your reveal,

Is love on your mind?

Find the reason,

show me your mine.

Feel

By therumreview

I have the vision, nothing wrong with my eyes.

Nothing wrong with my dreams

Nothing wrong with the why.

 

I have the mind, nothing wrong with ideals.

I see how I could soar

I see how I could feel.

 

Click click there is no ignite.

Quick quick need a light.

Energy burning a hole in my heart.

Flame flame, give me a kick start.

 

Waiting for my life to begin,

But it’s already begun.

My eyes see the road

and the path to the sun.

 

Quicksand everywhere I turn.

See what I want to see.

I could soar above it all

If I were a different me.

 

Life’s short, time to change,

And climb the tallest tree.

Take the first step forward,

To finally feeling free.

Spin

By therumreview

I don’t have the right eyes

To be away from the dark.

I don’t implore destiny,

Tuned to follow the lark.

 

Intention and execution,

Nothing in the same.

What summons my wake,

Is never my end game.

 

The common is I,

Always play to win.

Never the right hand,

To make worlds spin.

 

So when I see falter,

Where does one go?

Cut your losses,

In destiny’s flow.

 

A common whore,

For voids to feel bright.

You didn’t pack a bag,

Never saw the light.

 

Farewell heart,

Take a step aside.

Your not the virtue

One emerges from a hide.

 

You’re fun is done.

Find a better kill.

How your heart is,

Find the same fill.

 

I leave aghast,

Tragedy of our time.

Present wasn’t enough,

The past is your line.

Forever

By therumreview

 

So in love so in love.
Still the same you.
Heart warm doesn’t change
the old faded view.

Want the change, take me.
I’m fallow at your will.
Love me in the morning,
let me be your fill.

Does strength greet you
to take on love and a heart?
Does forever taunt you
that it may never start?

High

By therumreview

Once grabbed with a joy in your eyes.

Eagles soaring above the seas.

Light lent we followed highs, the nigh.

Bitter brevity a passing breeze.

 

Did you wrangle the bucking bull?

Still do you see what soars above?

Looks like the skies are full.

The heavens are out of love.

Love?

By therumreview

Is it love, are you burning?

Are you breathless from the yearning?

Is it light or just a shimmer?

Do you see all or just a glimmer?

 

Walk down roads hand in hand.

Rolling hills then shire of bland.

Words unspoken, I make a call.

You may have tipped but you didn’t fall.

 

You can find me in my eyes,

In my heart and in my thighs.

Are you startled, are you lost?

Am I found but too much cost?

 

Is it love, what fills your mind?

Am I virtue, or am I a bind?

If the heart wants, why no heat?

Is there the will to be complete?

Home

By therumreview

 

You have your home,

and I have mine.

Must fade away,

as apart we lay.

 

The love affair.

It has to go.

No more spent time,

on something not mine.

 

Too bound to let go,

eyes meet and we inhale.

Scream for eternity –

get deaf ears and brevity.

 

Know it’s not you,

and there isn’t an us.

Sun sets the same place,

but with a different face.

 

Grieve for you,

grieve for the fantasy.

Grieve for a feeling,

a heart worth stealing.

 

Not yet written,

where futures lie.

Look at today,

do we want where we lay?

 

Who needs to wake up,

you or me?

I’m rising anyway,

know I lose this play.

 

Anything can happen,

where there’s belief.

When belief reaps ache,

at some point one breaks.

 

Illusion, I know – 

acceptance is brutal.

Future has it’s way.

Are there more sunny days?

 

I want it all,

have all of me.

Just won’t be you,

who says, I do.
