Alchemy
Carole Young (c) 2011
You appear to be one thing
But then prove to be another
You seemed wonderful
And then became my lover
Yes things soon took a downward turn
You could be fun/ But are full of frailties and issues
I can't turn you on
I am merely human
Not a super being
No not a super being
Another fragile human
Is what I am seeing
I can't turn you into another
If only I could extrapolate
Your good qualities
Then leave the rest
Alchemy is not one of my strong points
I am merely human
Not a super being
No not a super being
Another fragile human
Is what I am seeing

A Lover Like You
Carole Young (c) 2011
We’ve never met
But get on well online
´Of course, you cannot
Judge someone
Until face to face
The race begins
The race is on
You live close by
Why have we never met?
No matter what happens I (Don't have a clue)
Reminds me of my youth
All I can say
On this lovely day
Is that I've dreamt
Of a lover like you

The Rain '(Raindrops)'
(c) Carole Young 2013
Falling from the sky
Falling in my mind
Painting different colours across the sky, beautiful
Like diamonds, they shine
Opaque on the window frame
Whispering my name
Sparkling through the years, it seems
Opening the door to
Many a day, many a year
Nay, centuries pass us by, we wait
To see if the rain will end
And the sun will rise once more.

Oliver in His Jesus Sandals
Carole Young C 2011
Walking along the road
Oliver stops and looks around
Was it the noise of the traffic
Or was he just feeling sick
Of the way things were?
Oliver try to stay cool
In the heat,
He had Jesus sandals on his feet,
On his feet
After a few minutes
His heart rate had slowed down
He didn’t care anymore
About the sounds
Oliver felt calm again
And so he strolled on
To meet his friends
In the heat,
He had Jesus sandals on his feet,
On his feet
Jesus sandals (On his)
Jesus sandals (On his)
Jesus sandals (On his)
Jesus sandals (On his)

Still Waters Run Deep
Carole Young (c) 2012
Adapted by Eric Daum
Still waters run deep
Through the secrets we keep
Memories from long ago
Thoughts no one else can know
We feel in our souls
We were here before
A memory from beyond the grave
We need to know more
Blood mixes with the water
Cleansing our wounds
The body heals the scar remains
There is no thorn without the bloom
We feel in our souls
We were here before
A message from beyond the grave
We need to know more
Feelings deeper than oceans
Burn forever through time
Dormant in each other’s arms
Await the call you will be mine!

'Faith in your Convictions'
Carole Young (c) 2013
It's everything we see
It's everything we do
No memories for me
And neither for you
As yet, this journey is new
These promises may be untrue
But given with passion
Reliable, honest and alive
Faith in our actions
Yes, faith in these convictions?
Matters untold but strong
The visions take shape in song
Hold fast
The lantern burns brightly
Navigating the route
Steering this ship through the storm
We must have faith in this dream
Reliable, honest and alive
Faith in our actions
Yes, faith in these convictions?

Be with you Again
Carole Young (c) 2012
Can you feel me
Reaching out for you?
Daydreams of times
Gone by
Happening again
I will be
With you again
You showed me everything
But made me yearn for more
I need you
I want you
You know I need more
We only have this life
I'm here now with you
In my head
Just not my bed
Yet
I will
Be with you again.

Paragon of Virtue
Carole Young (c) 2010
Land of my dreams
Carried into upon these wings
I am spirit I am time
Too late to draw the line
If I want to be happy,
If I want to stay sane
I must alter my course
Then I will be a paragon of virtue
A rocky road was upon us
So I took to the skies
But now I realize
Changed the deck For my next game
If I want to be happy,
If I want to stay sane
I must play a new hand
Then I will be a paragon of virtue
If I want to be happy,
If I want to stay sane
I must alter my course
And I will be a paragon of virtue
Unlike you...

Like in a Dickens' Novel
Carole Young (c) 2011
We wander this earth, dejected
Like in a Dickens' novel
It's January
And we're miserable -
No man's land between
Your death
And funeral
Strap on seatbelts
It's bound to be a bumpy
Few days
We await, agitated
This will soon be over
And we can send you peacefully
On your way
We love you
We miss you
We wish you nothing but peace
Rest easy
We owe you good lives
And thank you.

Symbol of Hope
Carole Young (c) 2010
They came from over there
A symbol of hope
Showing the way
The Reckoning
Lesser mortals like us
Can now see
Just get your heart's desire
Let the fire
Burn brightly
Then it will truly
Set us free
It is The Quickening

Devil On My Shoulder
Carole Young (c) 2011
Since my life changed
Is there anybody out there?
Does anybody care?
You have been the devil
Sitting on my shoulders
But, now, I am older
Time to hit that ejector seat
And if we
Ever meet again
I want you to regret
What you did
To me
Who was supposed to mean
So much to you
The first sign of trouble
You were off like a bat out of Hell
Though that devil remained
Constantly whispers your name
Into my ear
Now, it is my fate
You WILL evaporate!
