The veil was kind when it covered the fire,
But knowledge pulled closer, and burned my desire.

Each secret unwrapped was a weight on my chest,
Truth is no mercy, it steals away rest.

The deeper the river, the darker it runs,
No comfort is found in the glare of its suns.

I reached for the wisdom, it cut like a blade—
A garden of silence I wish had remained.


A Garden of Silence

The dog runs freely through the streets
Just like all was supposed to be…
And I’m not free
Though I once was
And I am not free
The dog runs freely through the streets
Just like all was supposed to be…
And I don’t feed
Though I once did
And I am in my way

And like the dog
Runs freely there…
That is his way - he doesn’t care
And I'm not free
Though I once was
And I'm not here to disagree
The dog runs freely through the street
Through autumn winds and winter deep
And I'm not free
And maybe never will
And that gives me the real chill

It makes me think that I could have…
Could have been free
Not just a myth
They told us when we were  still young
And couldn’t tell the good from wrong
And we will see… oh we will see!

And like the dog
He rants, he shouts
If any jerk would challenge loud
And he is free
He always was
Not so are we
Through haze of lime and light
I start to see…
And in the night
My soul will burn and writhe
And I am not free
And so I’ll die!

It makes me think that I could have
Could have been taught kind and serene
To be the better dog
Among the humans in the fog
And maybe I could see…
And that is quite a lot

And like the dog
Runs freely there…
That is his way  he doesn’t care
And he is free
I’ll never be
And now I’m here
Right here
The streets go on…
And we will wander 
Dog and Me
Two opposites of free

been this before

The lights fall soft on her silvered hair,
A shimmer caught in the midnight air.

Her laughter drifts through the crowded room,
And every note cuts through the gloom.

And though the music pulls her near,
Her eyes find mine — I disappear.

The years between us melt away,
When she looks — when she looks my way.

She’s not the girl I met back then,
She’s more — she’s love, she’s life again.

I sit and watch, a silent prayer,
To keep her dancing, keep her there.

And though she twirls with someone new,
Her heart still whispers, “I see you.”

And in her glance, I see it clear —
The same young love that brought me here.

The night folds close, the lights grow dim,
But her gaze still pulls me back to then.

She turns once more — her eyes, they say,
“I’m yours, always… when I look your way.”


When She Looks My Way

I know you love good music
I know you love a good beat
I know you love singing
I know you love moving your feet

This song is for you
You're the one I adore
You're the one who needs to smile
You're the one I want more, more

Humble, is my name
Humble, is my game
Humble, is what I want
Humble, keeps me going strong
Humble, you need
Humble, be free
Humble, you believe

I need the thickness
I need the time
I need the love
I need your wine

This song is for you
You're the one I adore
You're the one who needs to smile
You're the one I want on the floor

Humble, is my name
Humble, is my game
Humble, is what I want
Humble, keeps me going strong
Humble, you need
Humble, be free
Humble, you believe
