If I Ever Let Go Of Your Hand

If I ever let go of your hand,
Be it for nothing else,
Than to wipe away every ounce of pain,
Or to draw your gaze to the skies,
To where the Creator of those hazel eyes,
Used His stars to spell out every letter of your name!

If I ever let go of your hand,
Let it only be,
To calm the storms in your soul,
To pick you up when you've lost all hope,
When you're broken, and unable to cope,
Let my hand be the one that carries you home.

And if I ever let go of your hand,
For even a second,
Let it only be to slay the demons in your mind,
To thumb through the worn pages of your past,
To the tales that were always meant to last,
Beyond longing and the memories you've left behind.

And if these fingers,
Should ever loosen their grip,
Let it only be to dry the tears from your cheek,
To remind you how I never stopped believing,
In magic, and you, and hope, however fleeting,
When you're broken, I'll be the healing you seek.

I make you an undying promise,
That I will ride out every storm,
Through it all, at your side I'll stand,
For what kind of love would this be,
When you most needed me,
If I ever let go of your hand?

The Storm

There's a storm a brewing,
These demons will not lie still,
If Lady Karma must have her way,
And believe you me, she will!

The clouds take on a deathly black,
The wind howls it's desolate shriek,
The Willow sways, once majestic,
Now barely enduring, solitary, weak!

The thunder shakes your wounded soul,
Lighting tears at the demons in your sky,
The downpour floods the farthest corners,
Of your fetid, deceptive lies!

The tempest clouds your wretched soul,
Believe in the inevitability of chance,
As Destiny seduces you,
With her enticing, morose dance!

The Hand of Fate is slowly turning,
Its every finger points to you!
But rest in restless slumber, mon chere,
Black skies are slowly turning Blue...

Fragments of June

Here's a song I've been working on for a while now. I thought I'd share it here, since I have nothing else that's worthwhile to put up. Breaking away from my usual style, this one has a non-traditional rhyme scheme. Feedback and comments are most welcome. I have a melody in my head and a riff to go with it, so the song should be recorded and uploaded here in time. Stay tuned, folks!

Verse 1:

I'm picking myself off the floor,
Trying to piece it all together,
As the minutes turn into hours,
And today becomes forever!
It's hard to hold on, when all you're holding on to,
Is nothing at all!
But I can't break this fall!
I'm clutching at thin air!

Chorus 1:

You'll look back one day, and you will remember,
The misery we authored, for each other,
That cold forlorn December!
And every walk on the beach, in brisk April!
But the warmth we thought was here to stay,
Has faded fast, like the nights in May!
It was all over too soon!
But you will think of me,
And this soul you will see!
In every fragment of June!

Verse 2:

Too long I danced with your demons,
Part of your delusional mess!
Listening to your messed up reasons,
I'd fallen too hard for you, I confess!
Don't you just love the farce, the poetry in the misery,
The lunacy of it all,
But now, I'm standing tall,
Now, the war in my head is done! 

Chorus 2:

You'll look back one day, and you will remember,
The misery we authored, for each other,
That cold forlorn December!
And every walk on the beach, in brisk April!
If you realize I'm not around for you one day,
Remember, you're the one that pushed me away!
You ended it all too soon!
But you will think of me,
And this face you will see!
In every fragment of June!

Bridge:

And all you feel, and all you see,
Is all your life will ever be!
I hope the pretense was worth the while!
You're praying that time will erase the memories,
As the silence screams through the insanity!
I hope one day we can look back at this and smile!

Outro:

One day you'll wake up to realize,
I was everything you ever wanted,
But when that day comes, I'll be waking up next to the one,
Who already knew...
