His Alchemist

She slithers gingerly out of his hold
he'd come to life at the slightest touch
right now she needs the evening cold
sometimes his love can be too much
but she can not leave
even when it gets hard to breathe
she'll stay
in love, you adapt or you fade away
and this man cant be left alone
he might look strong but her heart's his home
and he's where she belongs
is it so wrong to need one's space?
she shuts her eyes to picture his face
how she loves this man!
every strand of hair, every touch of his hand
but is it so cruel to want some air?
he loves her even when she's barely there
and she loves him too, oh she loves him true
loves him like the sun shines bright
she just treasures these late strolls in the night
then its back to him, back into his arms
"I wont break you... i'll do you no harm..."

My Alchemist

I know all the reasons to walk away
but i believe you have the courage to stay
i mean who decides?
we say "i love you" but do rules abide?
Some days you turn my sunshines into night
but then you're the star shining most bright
...how do i return the favour?
I want to sing you a song your heart can savour
I want to be better and kinder and stronger
and i'm trying but i just get it wronger and wronger
feels like my heart could explode...
yet i believe there's light at the end of the road
that i'll learn to turn your tears into giggles
i just need time to work out this riddle
my alchemy's weak but my love is pure
i believe that you'll stay, that love will endure
cos even though i know all the reasons to leave
i believe that you'll stay cos you want to believe

Flight of the Firefly

It's rained all afternoon
my feet hurt and my mind is numb
the sun bid its farewell too soon
"Look for the new sunrise to come"
but time is change
and i feel deranged
trying to solve my way out of dementia
it sometimes feels like life in absentia
when the ones you love the most
are memories and ghosts
... it can get overhwelming

just then i see, in the corner of my eye
the most majestic firefly
and i realise, standing there drenched and alone,
watching this graceful creature in mid-flight
that no matter how bleak the darkness of the night
she always finds her way home.

For my Firefly. Everything's gonna be alright. JR.

Jungle Tunes

If i let my feet rest
before the dust settles
I'll be distressed
for i am the rebel
turn up the treble
turn up the treble
I am the rebel
now i'm at the level
where i am protected
i am the metal
that goes undetected
i am the chest
beneath the bulletproof vest
i hire the best
to prevent what bullets do best
this is a war
sample this score
sample this score
this is a war
and i am the floor
that never falls apart
i aim for more
so more aim at my heart
i go the distance
i go the distance
you are the force
I'm counter-resistance...

The Fallen

The dust from which we rise
feeds me the power
to slake the lust within her eyes
hour on the hour
for i am man
and therefore i can
spread an angel's wings
to see how close she brings
me to exploring the big bang...

is she my evolution?

look at her glow
her touch holds the solution
to puzzles my body doesnt even know

but when when flies
my heart dies and dies
for i am am man
and therefore still i stand
to look for her in the skies...
