Better than the dream...

[lilly]

Waiting

you don't know it but you are right for me
even if you are just a dream, you are right for me
you sitting across the table from me
your face so perfect
my heart beating so fast
breathless
i never thought i would meet you
i yearned for this
an emotional and intellectual connection of this kind
where you take me to a whole new world
on a magical carpet ride
and take my breath away

you don't know what you've done
the fibers you were able to touch
within me
with your words
they captivate my soul
pulling on me
i am a string puppet

can't you see the heat rising from my skin
the desires coming out of me
yes i am silent as a mute
but can't you see
as i sit here across the table from you
not missing a single word
the way they come out of your mouth
the words are lovely
like gold

now it is my turn to talk
did i bore you
or are you hearing music
is your heart beating just as fast
do you feel ready to melt

should we get going out of this place
let's go to a nice room
you are not too rough
nor soft
the perfect blend of what my body craves
you send my blood pumping
seeking to consume you
to taste you
all of you
i must have all of you
ahhh, you're more than a dream
you are real
and this is the best i have ever had
i could just die
willingly inside your arms
always
for eternity i'll be yours
you whisper the same
ecstasy

must i wake up?

[proudlao]

I can not tell a dream from reality any longer
Wake me not from this heaven
Hold me a little longer
Touch me until eleven
 
Speak no longer of your desires
Kiss me passionately with all your lust
Together we're a live wire
With every breathe a deeper thrust

[lilly]

Let us not wake and see the sun of the living flesh
Let us peer into our own sun
one that we make of our own

Under our own sun
in our own reality
time of eleven is too limiting
why not forever
dear

i fear that if i give in passionately to all my lust
i will lose myself
lose my way
will you always be within every step
never behind or ahead
but right beside me
with your hand in mine
sending warmth up my spine
everytime

only with genuine assurance will i be able to surrender
all of me
to you
with your true self
will this passion completely unfold
where the thrusts be not of sin
but of love

[proudlao]

To you I'll come
Refuge of our very own
Away from the world not seen
Unkind and judgemental
 
Fear not with me, as you can see
Beside you is where I will always stand
Take my hand and press your heart against mine
Like the shadow that never leave you
 
I'll always be near and not a step too far
I hope to see you down the path afar
Where the rainbow meet the valley hills
We'll sealed our trust with lips
 

[lilly]

I want not to seal "us" with lips
Lips are superficial things
If you truly love me
Let us seal "us" with our hearts

If you love me true like you say
Do not be my shadow
Shadows are undependable
They only come out when the sun shines
And nowhere to be found when the rain cries

Be the love letter I carry in my heart
Each word carving its place inside my soul
Be the breath that I breathe
The food that fills my hunger
The drink that quenches my thirst
Be these things
For me

[proudlao]

Did I not say press your heart against mine?
If I should disappeared with the rain
I have assured you I am not too far
I will be the very beating of your heartbeat
The words engrave into your soul
I'll be the air for your evert breathe
Do not doubt as our spirits is one
Distant or near I can hear your words
Fulfilling my appetite for your being
 

[lilly]

Part II.

I lie awake
I feel alone
Nothingness but air

It was not only yesterday
It has been years
To finally arrive here

I tried to hold on
I tried to believe
I tried but it's gone

Nothing is left
Of this nest
Birds have gone south

[proudlao]

The south lay still
Awaiting your arrival
Birds chiping and playing
 
I've been there
Counting many moon
Maybe I'll see you soon
 
Blossoming time
Listen to all those chimes
Come hike your trouble away
 
Many places of serenity
Hidden deep in the mountains and woods
Laid back and breathe the air of Carolinas
 

[lilly]

If I see magnolia trees
Will that be the breeze my heart seeks?
If I walk through the prairie fields
If I brush my hand on soft tall grass
Will that give me peace at last?

If we stop in the same place
And I remember the fire that was once in your gaze
If we drive around the same bend
In the same hour as the crickets chirp
Will that mend all that has ended?

A love lost is a love lost is a love lost

[proudlao]

Some lost love are meant to be found
As time passes and magnolia grows
So are the steps and miles in your life
Rooted deep within you should know
Which path is calling you home
And which ones has ended
Follow the path of righteousness
Like the rows of crape myrtle and dogwood trees
Beauty and happiness beats for you
Get found and return to your root

[lilly]

Oh, lover, where art thou?
Has thy heart turn to stone?
Whence upon a time thou sang so sweet to my soul,
Where art thou now?

Thou is neither here nor there
Thou is everywhere

My hand reaches out to grab thee
And whence upon unfolding me palms
What do I see?
Emptiness!

Oh, lover, set me free!
Set me free to sail the horizon
Agree me to be whisk away from thy dying eyes
Let me be set back to life!

I dare not be here another minute
Where I wither at your waste
Let the magic start to flow once again
Me soul
Let there be light, life!

Let us commence here forth
That we wish each other well
Let thee turn left and i'll be turning right
Shall we sign unto a new time?

[lilly]

Some lost love are meant to be found

Rooted deep within you should know
Which path is calling you home
And which ones has ended
Follow the path of righteousness
Like the rows of crape myrtle and dogwood trees
Beauty and happiness beats for you
Get found and return to your root

It is a hazy road
In which I neither know if the path is right nor wrong
So weary are the steps I take
For even as crape myrtle and dogwood trees can be seen
I fail to remember if they have meaning to me

So close am I to reaching the finish line
And I fail to remember the source of the fight
Lost love, is it?
Waiting to be found?
But the root has been uprooted to an unfamiliar location
Where only lost love knows.

It appears this heaven sits on an empty island
With light wind blowing on the only
Candle you held lit for all these years
Consumed by the thought of many directions
 
How many times have you stood there and stared
Into your life and wondering if you belong
How often did you drove by your place
Wishing you were in another place
 
Is it you or is it him or maybe them
Can you rekindle, mend the shattered pieces, and reconcile?
Living with secrets and walking in eggshells
The days seem gloomy and your laugh no longer echos
 

[lilly]

An empty island made aglow by this lone candle
Blowing in the wind
Every whisper of breeze gives fright
That the glowing might end

Many a times I stood staring into this island
Gathered dried up leaves and sticks
To ignite a blaze
Only to find my wishing to be in another place

This coming and going
Is taking its toll
If I could never read this map
Of directions and roads
To the red with a compass
Because I will never know

[proudlao]

The answer lie within you
How much longer
Will you allow yourself to drift in circle
 
Get off this lonely island
And once you walk among us
There you will find a much sweeter coconut
