Speaking my mind out

[tora]

Human

Hey human,I'm waiting for you
I'm so lonely here
Hey human,help me find the truth
I'm so much deceived

And human,please talk to me
I wanna hear your voice
And human,wake me up from a dream
I have no other choice

Please human,reach your hand
and break my fall
Please human,understand
and hear my call

Oh human,share with me your soul
come to save mind
Oh human,please help me go
and cross the border line

Hey human,make me see
heal my eyes
Hey human,set me free
from the chains of lies

Oh human,I believe in you
lead me your way
Oh human,I wanna be a human too
come across my way

 

[tora]

Free

Let me run along the roof
when my eyes are closed
Let me share with you the proof
that I'm more free than those
with their eyes left open
with their souls bare for fear
with their courage broken
when the end is near

Let me break these chains
that you put around me
I need no shelter from the rain
All I want is to be free

I'm Alive

Can't believe I've never seen this before
White sand is lying on the shore
Seagulls are laughing above me
I hear the kindest whisper of the sea
My heart is beating so loud all the way
Can't believe I've learned it just today
I feel like I've just waken from a dream
I feel so strange and I wanna scream
The birds are singing in the blue-blue sky
I wanna be like them,I wanna learn to fly
I've just realised that I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm so excited and I think I know
why I wanna watch the flowers grow
I've just realised that I'm alive
so alive

Man In Desert

He's alone,lost in the sand of desert
The clefts on his lips-they are bleeding
This mist in his eyes-he can't see anything
The thirst in his soul-he can feel it
It's the thirst of life
and nothing can save this man from the burning sun

Hey there's a man in desert
He's calling for help
but the grains of sand are teasing
seeming the waterdrops instead

Tora

Make's one to stop & think. Did you write these?
I especially liked the first one! Thanks for sharing!
hugs, kat

 

[tora]

I wrote them some time ago.

 

[justice808]

I wrote them some time ago.

We believe you

 

[Lotussan]

Oh, Tora, these are wonderful...

Thank-You for sharing them my dear friend...

I love you...

Leon, don't tease her, these are her feelings we are reading about!

If she said she wrote them awhile ago, then I am sure she did...

 

[Amos Stevens]

Thank you for sharing Tora

 

[yudansha]

Not bad, not bad at all - good job!

Some deep feelings there Tora. Good job.

I didn't write this one, but I always loved the lyrics:

Enter Sandman

Say your prayers little one
Don’t forget, my son
To include everyone

Tuck you in, warm within
Keep you free from sin
Till the sandman he comes

Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
Off to never never land

Something’s wrong, shut the light
Heavy thoughts tonight
And they aren’t of snow white

Dreams of war, dreams of liars
Dreams of dragon’s fire
And of things that will bite

Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
Off to never never land

Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray the lord my soul to keep
If I die before I wake
Pray the lord my soul to take

Hush little baby, don’t say a word
And never mind that noise you heard
It’s just the beast under your bed,
In your closet, in your head

Exit light
Enter night
Grain of sand

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We’re off to never never land

So you write for Metallica?If so can we kick it up about three notches?

 

[yudansha]

Metallica rocks and you can't beat them; nothing beats their Black Album!!!

LOL I said I didn't write that. And what do you mean 'kick it up 3 notches?' Metallica is great.

 

[Jules]

Tora and Yudansha, Thank you for the poems. I love to read them. I used to write them in my teen years. Maybe if I get up the nerve I will share some. Poems are usually from the heart, or experiences, or how you are feeling at the time they are written.

 

[kickingbird]

Lettuce ...
Let us share
the melting light and dance the sacred danced
for a moment
forever
Let us dance within the circle of light
offering our gratitude to the Power
that surrounds and enfolds us.
Let us be as One and in turning,
radiate this Unity to others.
The ancient Holy Ones,
they are gently laughing with us.
Let us return their joy.
Let us enter the shining Open Space
within ourselves
within all of
Everything

Double-Faced

I say that I'm true
and I say that I'm lies
I say that I'm a seeker
and I say I'm satisfied
I know what is right
and I do what is wrong
I know where I should be
but I'm not where I belong

Two voices,two minds
two beliefs and two ways
Look at me and see yourself
I'm two sides of one face

I say that I'm a student
and I say that I'm a master
I say that I'll heal you
and I say that I'll bust you
I judge the other kings
and I steal their crown
I try to save the world
and I watch it crashing down

Two voices,two minds
two beliefs and two ways
Look at me and see yourself
I'm two sides of one face

You say it's right and I say it's left
You say it's a prize and I say it's a theft
We are two minds and two ways
We are two sides of one face

Into The Sun
Do you believe what they say
that the sun is fading away?
Is this because the hearts have gone cold
and love has abandoned this world?

Can you embrace the sun
with your last breath?
Can we save the sun
coz we need to save ourselves

And I’m still burning
Are you still burning?
I’m burning for you
coz you’re burning for me too

I’m burning my heart into the sun
I’m melting my breath into the sun
And you’re burning my heart into the sun
And you’re melting your breath into the sun
Into the sun, into the sun
We’re burning our hearts into the sun
Into the sun

Well you and I know what it takes
to make this world a better place
with every single you and every single me
who should breathe it out to breathe in

Can we embrace the sun
with our last breath?
Can we save the sun
coz we need to save ourselves?

And I’m still burning
Are you still burning?
I’m burning for you
coz you’re burning for me too

Chorus:

Can we embrace the sun
with our last breath?
Can we give everything
when there’s nothing left
coz I’m still burning
and you’re still burning
I’m burning for you
coz you’re burning for me too

Thin Verge
I’m awake when I’m asleep
and I’m asleep when I’m awake
but I see those faces everywhere
Looking through a semi-transparent glass
I can see you but you can’t see me
But you can touch me and I can feel

Can you explain this phenomenon
I’m stuck between though I’m moving on
And behind the door there’s a long corridor
And in the end of it there’s just another door

I’m waking up from a happy dream
Then I find that I’m still dreaming
I can’t escape this physical feeling
I wanna be here and I don’t
Then I’ll go some place else
Yet I won’t find there myself

Can you tell me the number of realities
Is there just one or as many as I see
And behind this door the same room as before
And yet it’s different, not the same anymore

Can you take me into your world
Can you enter mine
Can you help me break this wall
Erase the border line
Erase the border line
Erase the border line

Song Of A Bird
Cracking…
Through the trace I can see the sky
This shell used to be my comfort
but now it’s too small
to spread my grown wings
and I wanna fly
I wanna fly

Scary…
But curious what’s there outside
Should I break out of this shell
and face the bigger world
investigate that place
It’s too late to hide
too late to hide

Well, I’ve outgrown my shell
I no longer feel the spell
I’ve been under for a while
I’m a bird and I wanna fly
sour in the sky

Wondering
why I’m so happy about it
now that I’ve got these wings
not sure if I can use them
Mistakes will cause the pain
but I can’t do without it
can’t do without it


Well, but I’ve outgrown my shell
I no longer feel the spell
I’ve been under for a while
I’m a bird and I wanna fly
sour in the sky

Back To Me
Those days are left behind
What if they’re not
What if I turn the opposite way
and they’ll be in front of me
My trip is in the middle
but what if it’s not
What if it’s just a beginning
and what if it’s meant to be
That the sun is coming out on the other side
and it’s bloody red in the purple sky
and it’s not the way I used to see

Should I go back to those days
and put on the skin I got used to be in
Am I going away or am I coming back to me?

I’ve tasted unmutual love
Whish this never happened
but what if it brought me back to life
and I wasn’t alive before
I’m losing my old face
but what if I’m not
What if I’ve just found myself
and picked up the key to the door
to set my heart free like a bird from the cage
and let it burn and light up my way
I’ve just opened up a different world

No I won’t go back to those days
Damn that alien’s skin I got used to be in
I’m not going away, I’m just coming back to me

No I won’t pretend I miss those days
If I lost anything it’s just to find everything
I feel like I’m coming back to the essence of me

The species whose skin is different from the others

There’s a place for you called Albino Island
Run away across the sea to Albino Island
Albino Island, Albino Island

Come with me to Albino Island
Beyond the purple sea

The land of our dream
Albino Island, Albino Island
