Careless Love (an attempt at some sort of song/poem)
Stuck in a moment
stuck in the now
forgotten yesterdays
trying to forget today
Thorns that were twisted
into my side,
where wounds are still bleeding
and I still feel the needing
I don't care
If I'm not the one you were hoping for
If I am not the one that was promised
I will still love you
no matter what you do
I'll be the one to hold your hand
when the day comes
when the final day comes
I'll be there til the very end
Stuck in a moment
Stuck I am on you
despite all your rage
the battles you wage
Sharp edged words wielding
to fight the good fight
and yet whatever you do
I still really love you
I don't care
If I'm not the one you were hoping for
If I am not the one that was promised
I will still love you
no matter what you do
I'll be the one to hold your hand
when the day comes
when the final day comes
I'll be there til the very end
Though it may seem foolish
in the garish light of day
though it may even seem stupid
in those dark hours of the night
I don't care
If I'm not the one you were hoping for
If I am not the one that was promised
I will still love you
no matter what you do
I'll be the one to hold your hand
when the day comes
when the final day comes
I'll be there til the very end
When the final day comes
I'll be there til the very end.

Ruins of Arcadia
When I met you, you were on fire
full of passion and desire
Your body a tower, I felt it's power
The day I met you
Eyes connecting, arms embracing
We just knew which way we're facing
And our path ran on forever
We are together
one fine day
Oh we built our love
on the ruins of Arcadia
And we built our love
from the wreckage of Utopia...ahaha...
But your fire kept on burning
the world kept turning, I was lost
within the moment, within the memory
in the past
Oh we built our love
on the ruins of Arcadia
And we built our love
from the wreckage of Utopia...ahaha
Then we knew our love
wasn't made to last so long
But we didn't think
our hearts would be this strong
[instrumental break]
And cracks began to show
in the walls, in your tower
All came tumbling down
because of your power
You loved me too strongly
I could sense I was falling
You loved me way too fast
and you didn't hear me calling...
[short chorus]
[instrumental break]
[full chorus til end]

Wonderful Day
Oh what a wonderful day
To stay in bed / let the raindrops play
Oh what a wonderful day
Oh what a wonderful night
to sleep by sweet candlelight
oh what a wonderful night
What a day
What a day
It's raining
the colours away
And I wish
and I pray
oh what a wonderful day
Oh what a wonderful day
To sing of love / To sing today
Oh what a wonderful day
Oh what a wonderful night
to dance & dance / with you tonight
oh what wonderful night
What a night
What a night
Celebrate
the absence of light
and I stay
I abide
Oh what a wonderful night
[instrumental break]
What a day
What a day
It's raining
the colours away
And I wish
and I pray
oh what a wonderful day
I wish and I pray
that this day
could forever stay....

Northern Sky
Cold winds blow their icy breath
weathering down the sacred mountains
cover the ground with snow
Death of the Earth
Sleeping she is, waiting for rebirth
within the waking rays of golden sun
but now, in the night
the cold light shines.
Magnetic fields collide
and shimmers in the northern sky
This is the time of dreams
a magic moment of nature
the wonder of the Northern Lights
The white blanket of the world
covers the sleeping lady of the moon
resting here, beside us
in her pale gown of midnight
The dark cloak of nighttime
hovers above her, protecting her
from the many challenges of night
and seeks to let her sleep
<chorus>
<instrumental bridge>
And now, upon dawn's breaking
I close my weary eyes to fall asleep
I must be cursed to be so blessed
at the sight of this miracle so fine
<chorus - The wonder of the Lights till end>

Where The Heart Yearns
[intro - spoken male vocals]
You are my shadow it seems
following me around, you vanish
as I cast my eye towards you...
---
Is this Deja Vu or have I seen you before?
You look like my shadow yet I know you want more
Your eyes glow like fire when I'm sleeping at night
When I wake you're gone but I feel you inside
your breathe lingers on me each time when I hear
some secret voice calling - I will know you are near
Where the Heart Yearns
there the world turns
two souls in conflict act in full flight
one is the darkness the other the light
yet when they're together sparks will fly!
Now that we meet finally I recognise you
you were once a lover but I was untrue
you haunt my being as a ghost from the past
you knew our love was never meant to last
now you want to teach me a lesson or two?
Stay close to me darling and I will show you
[chorus]
Sparks will fly!!
[instrumental bridge]
And then it's over, you lie at my feet
I crouch down and I pull up the sheets
our fingers touch and our fire burns
where lovers meet then the world turns
now we are together, love dies forever
and my heart will yearn.....
[chorus]
[instrumental outro]
[spoken female vocals]
Return to the shadows love
there you belong, along with your brethren
who took my soul, my heart...

On the Other Side
I fought my way out of the deep
I came from far to get to you
Now that I'm here it ain't at all
what I expected wasn't true
You were like a god to me
That's why I took my time
With your words, your promises
I felt like you were already mine
Somehow your love did not feel right
And you know what they say
The grass is greener on the other side
well I found out the hard way
[chorus]
On the other side
on the other side
the grass ain't always greener
on the other side
Oh yes there were tears
and many words were said
you didn't really care
I was just another girl
Who stumbled on her way
on a man such as you
who thinks life's a fairytale
where dreams can still come true
Thank you for stomping
another dream into the ground
I felt my heart, my soul were made of glass
and you had broken it all down
[chorus]
[bridge]
I got back on my feet
I found my way back home
but it all meant nothing anymore
[chorus 2x]

More Than You
I saw it in your eyes
a glimpse of paradise
and through it all..
I knew it more than you
our love meant to be true
was doomed to fall...
It started as a mumbling
then it grew to a roar
as your love descended on me
It gave me wings to soar
high above the pristine clouds
where falcons dare to hide
I kept your love close to me
and bid you come and ride
[chorus]
As our story moved on
into the second phase
I took my chances right there
and glanced upon your face
And destiny walked through our door
no matter where we fled
It caught up on us every time
for a reason never said
[chorus]
[bridge]
How I knew it I know not
Maybe I simply read the signs
somehow it's easy to forget
how could you be so blind?
Love's never simple as a child
[chorus x2]
And now I stand here at my door
and watch as you take leave
All that remains within my heart
is a pain beyond all grief
How I wish to release it thus
to let it all fly out;
It's all my fault, can't understand
you love beyond all doubt.
...I knew it more than you...

A little old one, please pardon my French

You sheltered me from sorrow
You gave me back tomorrow
when I was falling down
Tu sais quand je suis desolé (You know when I am down)
Tu vraiment m'accompagné (You truly accompany me)
Tu est mon coeur... (you are my heart)
How come you are my being?
How come you are my soul?
When did you become part of me?
Why do you make me whole?Tu passe dans ma chambre (You pass through my room)
Tu est ma conscience (you are my conscience)
Pourquoi tu n'est pas ici? (why are you not here?)
You are my love, my sunshine
You know when I need your light
But why won't you return?
How come you are my being?
How come you are my soul?
When did you become part of me?
Why do you make me whole?You gave me no reason | Tu me n'a pas fait de raisons
You needed no reason | Tu n'a pas fait de raisons
To love me | De m'aimer
You gave me no reason | Tu me n'a pas fait de raisons
You needed no reason | Tu n'a pas fait de raisons
to leave me | de me quitterBut I need one now... | J'ai besoin d'un raison à l'heure ici...

writing, song, poem, poetry
...
I will be posting song lyrics on here that I wrote myself....it will be a selection of a few songs that I wrote in the past, that I feel are good enough to share with the rest of the world. So if anyone's out there reading this blog, kindly leave a comment

Starting off with the first one:
PagesOnce, long ago
he rode the pathways
of forests grand
and dark and treacherous
Then, he met her
she was the fairest
of all the girls
with ribbons and bows in her hair
[instrumental bit]
Now, he's alone
and clutches his prayers
all caught in a book
which stain the pages
He tries to forget
her eyes as diamonds
but his words sting
and make him remember it all
He clings to his pages
he clings to his faith
he knows his saviour
but he doesn't know her name
He sighs in darkness
he whispers his prayers
only to find her in the back of his mindBy candlelight
he writes his letters
addressed to her
without the will to send
In his belief
there is no place for maidens
and, then he cries
because he doesn't know who to love
He clings to his pages
he clings to his faith
he knows his saviour
but he doesn't know her name
He sighs in darkness
he whispers his prayers
only to find her in the back of his mind[instrumental break]
Caught in a tower
he once thought he saw her
passed by the door
but hadn't the courage to knock
as he rode on
She thought she'd seen him
she whispers a prayer
to guard her from her past
He clings to his pages
he clings to his faith
he knows his saviour
but he doesn't know her name
He sighs in darkness
he whispers his prayers
only to find her in the back of his mind[flute solo, ladida singing on melody]
He clings to his pages
he clings to his faith
he knows his saviour
but he doesn't know her name
He sighs in darkness
he whispers his prayers
only to find her in the back of his mind

random, inspiration, LOTR, wallpaper
...
Something I stumbled upon while rummaging round on my computer...
Even the Sky Has an Elven Heart ...as leaves fall from Lórien trees
the water of the Great Anduin flows gentle and soft.
Autumn passes by, calm
and in its wake we hear the wind.
Dreams come to those who wish upon a nightly falling star.
Even the Sky has an Elven Heart.It's just something completely random, it was used on a wallpaper I made.
I came across it and still liked the words, so I thought I'd share

Love,
Rick
