Miscellaneous Quatrains .c3. I Our time apart spans an eternity Thoughts abound with hopeless uncertainty Someday I will find the courage to call Just have to undo this runic wall. .c3. II You all started so long ago Had plans to bring me down Life is long and love was gone Your words were just for show. .c3. III Don't speak to me of dreams I've been through it all before I know what it means I don't want to hear it anymore. .c3. IV Sometimes love comes and goes I wonder why does life have to be so cruel But everyoen wonders, no-one knows Why someone has to lose. .c3. V There comes a time when it's way too late to turn around A love that has already run aground Then there is no use pretending, for a sky is descending Full of desperation, it's only love. .c3. VI It's way too late to turn and go back The past fades fast The flame will slowly die But the memories will always last. .c3. VII Sometimes it seems I just guess too much When my scope and thought are so far out of touch Now you have me thinking of a new sensation Insight to a new imagination. .c3. VIII Babe, things are looking down for us right now But, we can turn it all around some day. Everything is just as it seems And if it is all true, the next play is up to you. .c3. IX You act is if you just don't care But, I don't believe that lie. For the time we spent apart, Wandering aimlessly into a broken heart. .c3. X There's a little bit of lovin' in the air Truth or fiction, it's a new strength of conviction. I touched your hand and I was there. Just give me a sign that your tomorrow is mine. -------------------------------------------------------- / / /__,_ _ o ____ /_ __. __ /_) (_
