Love

Come with Me and You will See
A Prisoner of Love.
Behind the glass the images pass
A hand inside a glove.
The years fly by a twinkling eye,
All for you to see.
A song or two I’ll sing for you
As you go clicking by.

Hours turn to days,
And days turn to years.
My life plays out on the
Downloaded page.
And you see so little of what
I call the truth
That I tremble for the future,
And I wish you and yours could escape
The destiny awaiting you.
A song or two I’ll sing for you.

Minutes turn to hours.
Hours turn to days.
I wish IT could have happened
In some other kind of way,
But you waste the precious time
Chasing specters on the screen,
Filling up with emptiness,
Falling for the glamorous, and the untrue.

PRISONER OF LOVE

And when I scream, “Wake Up!”
You roll your eyes.
And I watch you click on by,
Searching the ever changing
Dream Machine,
Looking to kill the raging
Fire Inside.
You can’t deny the hunger
Only grows, Heaven Knows.

Why do these fools not see
The Chains?
That you know very well to be
The case.
Held by the fantasy you can’t escape.
Inside the prison wall
That you yourself have made.

And IT’s not over when you
Leave The Screen.
Celebrities and fortunes
Haunt you in your
Shallow Dreams.
They fill your hollow days,
And won’t let you be.
All I can say is you should
Break Away,
Live Today!
...but I see you remain..
