One Man's Lyric

My dirty hands

Touch her clean flesh

My eyes seek

Her lightening eyes

I reach for reality

Pull back my dreams

Surrounded by loneliness

This low man's feelings

I can't forget

The one

Who ran away

So long ago

I confess to

These pages

I lie to the rain

That falls below

I write to you

Words full

Of meaning

And unrequited love

What will be

Will surely be

What will come

Will come to pass

[Black Cat Fever]

Rather sad poem about the longing we feel sometimes for someone who is no longer in our lives. Nicely done.

[Angel Bird]

A sad and touching song filled nonetheless with hope that fate will be good in the end. I could imagine these as a real song.
Great lyrics.
