Devastated but not Destroyed


Devastated but not Destroyed In a world of good and bad In a world of night and day I've been stuck in a world of black and white Just trying to find the gray First there were lies Then I was betrayed Taken for granted in the love that I gave My heart was a joke My emotions a toy The girl in deception Breaks the heart of the boy There was a crippling in sadness There was a terror in fears I once cried upon cold shoulders That laughed at falling tears Battered and broken On fallen knees I come For there is one greater than I That sits above the sun I have sailed over an ocean of grief Like a ship that is deployed I have cried almost a river of tears Devastated...but not destroyed Copyright Ace S.

Life is a Journey Life is a journey, we know will not last The same way the present soon turns to the past Mountains so mighty turn slowly to sand As youth slowly slips from the palm of your hand The body grows old, as this is a must Returns to the earth, and turns back to dust Your children so playful, they too will be grown Why this is so is still greatly unknown Just as time gently passes before our eyes We see the sun set, and we see the sun rise Times that were simple, become times complex We know what was then, but we know not what's next So accept what is coming and be not deranged For the future is there, and cannot be changed Sometimes fate brings sadness that can make us all cry And sometimes fate brings joy, and our tears start to dry Copyright Ace S.

180 Degrees from Nowhere Here we stand, at the window of the world Looking out, out there, everywhere With everything before us We are here, 180 degrees from nowhere Maybe looking back, but falling not behind For we live in the present As it is the end, of the beginning of the past, that is now And moving ever forward to the beginning of the present that isn't yet For there are those of them that will look at life and see it only for what it is Then there are those of us that will see it always for what it can be But never for what it could have been Here we stand at the window of the world Looking out, out there...everywhere.

The Bliss that Dines with Angels Soft as silk, with all my cares She is the bliss that dines with angels And sits above my tears In motion she is like the water falls She is my flower that grows on vines And covers my dungeon walls All I'll ever be Still I'll be no one at all If I climb a mountain only to fall Somewhat not alone Still I am free For the love I've been seeking May one day find me With her like rain and no illusions As our friendship deepens Without confusions Here I flow, and here I am Leaving loneliness like a rock below the sand Time will pass and all in all Below the hour glass of time together we fall Once again, and once again What will be, from what has been Like an ocean of occurrences always I know I can never make it flow, but must let it flow No tears in my heart from the smiles of her face She creates the memories I'll never erase Like a song of her beauty, so let creations be May she always be happy, for all eternity.

Emptiness Not everyday is sunshine Not everyday is filled with smiles Just carrying on in everyday Trying to find happiness in some way There is the world around me I have been out and about There is the laughter, there is the dance But when the party ends, the only thing left Is the despairing feeling of emptiness For that someone we might be wishing For that someone we might be missing That someone by who you want to be loved That someone who you wish you could have That someone you just want to hold That someone you want to hold you and softly say Everything is going to be okay On my pillow I lay, silent and alone And accept the emptiness, that is my own Copyright Ace S.

Hard To Let Go I could wrap myself in a blanket trying to escape But my problem will still be there when I wake Standing face to face, I look it in the eye Enduring its brutality, and still struggling am I Memories that were, so hard to let go Something inside that's telling me no Remembering happiness, the way life had been Wondering if it could ever be like that again Shattered are my dreams, so hard to accept Broken is my heart, and I'm wondering what's next In a life full of changes, it's so hard sometimes When you are wrong about someone That won't leave your mind If tomorrow could be plain as day Confusion would cease, and I'd know the way Crestfallen is this climax, for all that I gave Shifts in my mood, and the way I behave Crippled are those emotions that once felt so able My appetite lost, and desires unstable...

Then Came You As I lay there silent, staring into nowhere you knew the struggles I was fighting in my head, you caress my back and whisper not a word. As I awoke from nearly 10 minutes of sleep, I found myself with breakfast by my side; you caress my hair and whisper not a word. As I sat in my backyard simply staring into space, you stand in front of me and caress my face yet whisper not a word. As the tears roll down my face you hand me a tissue and whisper not a word. As the months would pass and my depression grew stronger, you continued to extend your hand yet whisper not a word. As my sadness turned to anger and my tears turned to hate, you sat there watching me yet whisper not a word. As my anger fades away and my energy slowly returns, you smile at me yet whisper not a word. As my face began to smile, as I valued life once again, I was finally able to look at you and thank you yet you whisper not a word. As I now begin to hug you and I feel you deep within, it is only now that you stare at me and say, love someone for what they give you and give without expecting for that is the true meaning of love. As I heard you whisper these words, I caressed your back yet whispered not a word. Copyright CD Creations, 2003
Life Begins In The End As I slowly approached her my heart began to race. My hand reached out for hers in that cold dark place. I had seen her many times before but courage wasn’t my friend. Not this time would I allow my fears cause me to descend. As I became the center point of her attention her eyes began to gleam. It was the most beautiful site one can envision, something never before seen. The days would pass and our spirits would quickly unite. Now I stand beside her and smile for she is my warmth, my light. I’ve journeyed across the desert trying to find this gem, turning many stones and scraping my knees more than I care to pretend. But now my journey is over, my work is finally done. Time to call it a day and realize my life has only begun. Copyright CD Creations, 2003
I Know I know my name, I see my face And yet my soul seems out of place. I don't know why I can't be found, I try to speak there is no sound. I was lost and I want to cry, The tears won't flow, I wonder why... But now the days are not so long, And, I now know I can move on. Copyright, Kris 2003
Day Dreaming Lying on a beach, you and I together, Feet in the sand, feels like we've been here forever. Waves crashing, feelings slowly emerge as my eyes meet yours. We've only met once, but my feelings couldn't resist to see if happiness really exist. Feels so good, feels so right..... I wish I could stay here with you all night. Together we belong forever, but we can't allow our love to be because your heart isn't promised to me. Slowly I awake and begin to see... My fantasy has only been a dream. Copyright Toshiba. 2003
To the East and the West Your today is my yesterday, and your tomorrow is my today. we sail through time hardly seeing time in the same way. The sun rises and yet falls to a different drummer that is all as your moon rises, my sun shines bright time will tell which day is right As the colors change from dark to light my laughter meets yours in the passing night and yours meets mine in the day so we meet each other in a different way As we travel on, the day will sing together, and a melody will bring together though distant our song and as a whole we do belong.

In My Dreams I can't understand why I still dream about you It's been years since we've been apart . I have tried but I can't control what's deep within my heart. In my dreams we are together Our love is still so strong. Why my heart has created this world, for you are long gone.. I can only wonder if my heart is battling my mind to keep you there for just a little more. even as I start to forget you, I sleep and there you are just like the nights before.. how real it seems to have you there with me maybe my heart knows you still care. but once I awake, an emptiness fills my heart for you are not really there. but only In My Dreams......
