Who's to say i'm lonely
Who's to say i'm not content
Who's to say tomorrow's a better day
Who's to say i dream yesterdays

Who's to say that love is blind
Who's to say my eyes were not wide open
Who's to say i've given up
Who's to say you're not like me

Who's to say it will work out fine
Who's to say we're free
Who's to say it heals in time
When the hourglass runs out for me

Who's to say we are different
Who's to say we are the same
Who's to say we exist at all
And don't live inside another's dream

Who's to say the sky is up
And down is towards our feet
Who's to say that red is red
And what is said is what we mean

I might be you and you might be me
Inside another's dream

I never take naps
Though today was an exception
Couldn't stay awake if I wanted

I never remember my dreams
Though today was an exception
It was clear & very vivid

I try & forget you
Though today was an exception
You still haunt my subconscious

I look forward to future loves
Though today was an exception
Past loves are still somehow with me

These words show me a glimpse of you
A fragment of who & what you are
The only bit I get to see
Being we're so far apart

I'd like to see the way you smile
The sound and way you laugh
The tiny gestures that you make
To feel the warmth & touch of your hand

For now, you are hope
That tomorrows could be bright once more
A familiar stranger to dream about
A kindred spirit I adore


A potential love I may never meet
But to whom I'll write again

If darkness was love
I think my shadow would flee
Have to get a pair of sunglasses
Nights would no longer be

Try to turn off the lights
Doesn't do a damn thing
My electric bill
Would keep skyrocketing

I could hide in a cave
Underground, in a pit
Doesn't matter what I do
I can't get away from it

I close & cover my eyes
But blinding light's all I see
Spend my life seeking darkness
Darkness doesn't find me


Lately I've been finding it hard to sleep
Ever since your light took darkness from me

nice ramblings by the way, here's to sweet dreams

Why thank you! You're too kind

Caught your gaze this morning
I still hold it with me
I looked down hoping you'd appear
And you did
Strange how those things happen
You looked straight into me

When we've talked, it's so very comfortable
And we both know there's more
Being said in the unspoken

Seems everywhere I turn you are there
Our lives intertwined
We go to the same places, see the same faces
Together yet apart

It seems somehow you've been overlooked
Not sure how this could be
A jewel yet to be discovered
Still waiting for someone to see you for who you truly are

In this game we've been playing
I think the next move is mine
Don't know when we'll meet next
But I'm sure we will
Fate seems to be making it happen

Sometimes I attempt to step outside myself for a while
To try & analyze life
Seems the only way to do it
Without their programming interfering

Waking & dreaming
Waking & dreaming
Sun up, sun down
Sun up, sun down
Cycle after cycle
Season after season

Holding me down
Caressing me
Screaming in my ears
All to keep reality from sinking in

Gather us all together
Make us feel & think the same
Corrupt us, divide & conquer
All for the sake of your sinister plan

Sometimes I wonder if it's alright to question
Was that not the original sin
Honor those with authority over you
While they lie, manipulate & scheme

The system I despise
Or the system I love
Once the glass becomes more clear
I'll decide

Pretty sweet!

You are actually very talented!

Keep it up.

Send me more poems to read, baby!

Thanks HE!

I'd send you some but I'm fresh out for the moment. I've never written poems much, more songs than anything.

The inspirations for these have come from waking from dreams mostly. The second to last one was about a girl I've liked for a while & thought I'd missed my chance with her and wouldn't see her again. I seen her this morning after dropping my son off at school & I've bumped into her a few times around town. She seems interested but I've yet to make a move & haven't yet really had the chance to.

Go for it Hawaii!

I found this for you, Hawaii

hi babe, your poems are a cute as the squirrel in your photo, and tell me what else do you know?
I Loved it all,charlotte
