two more

red clouds by Alistair Chong

nearing the end
of a summer
we thought would never
find autumn leaves
lining its streets
all we see
makes us just like this

buried somewhere by Alistair Chong

somewhere
there'll always be hiding
a song
buried.
found, it'll bring me back
to life, life as i knew

Find Me by Boyce Avenue


So many nights trying to hide it
But now I stay awake just pleading for more
To think this heart was divided
I'm losing sleep cause I can't ignore

Feeling your touch all around
Peacefully hearing the sound
Of silence around us, I'm so glad we found us this way

Find me, here in your arms
Now I'm wondering where you've always been
Blindly, I came to you
Knowing you'd breathe new life from within

Can't get enough of you

I want to be where you are
In times of need I just want you to stay
I leave a note on your car
When I can't find the right words to say

Hearing your voice all around
The last place we're going is down
I'll blindly follow knowing you're leading the way

Find me, here in your arms
Now I'm wondering where you've always been
Blindly, I came to you
Knowing you'd breathe new life from within

With you in time
There's nothing else
My life stands still
You are the will that makes me strong
Make me strong
If ever alone in this world I know I'll always

Find me, here in your arms
Now I'm wondering where you've always been
Blindly, I came to you
Knowing you'd breathe new life from within
You sleep, here in my arms
Where the world just shuts down for awhile
Blindly, you came to me
Finding peace and belief in this smile
Find some peace and belief in this smile

Can't get enough of you

where i've gone

when i'd give by Alistair Chong

something could always bring
this back
i'm coming back
i'll be here
though an empty house it may be
i'll sit in its chairs and remember
long gone moments of a long forgotten memory

11.2.10

just right

things that sit by Alistair Chong

heavy, warm
thick and still
music on the inside
close my eyes,
open my mind
feel the fire

10.2.10

mumbled

210 by Alistair Chong

two hundred and ten
things to say
things i'd thought
i could articulate
guess not.

9.2.10

heavy eyes

usually happens by Alistair Chong

light by the night
keyboard sounds to the silence
i'll put my head down for a second
or so i thought
sleep will cradle me

8.2.10

meant to be

how by Alistair Chong

how can you know
who you are meant to be
are we really living
or in another system
of systematic convention
i want to know

7.2.10

oh long

forgotten things by Alistair Chong

seems that
only the midnight hours
can talk to me
persuade the writing hand
churning inside this mind

6.2.10

endless

suns by Alistair Chong

time
she was my friend
now not so sure
who she is
but still she takes my hand
and pulls me away
from where i love

5.2.10

as you are

fading out by Alistair Chong

sleep
asleep
peacefully
breath will rise and fall
i watch it leave and go
into the night
out for the night

4.2.10

this is my

lines over lines by Alistair Chong

those were times
when i didn't know yet
things i do now
they were lines
that i hadn't read
but its pretty loud

3.2.10

take a chance

ambitious by Alistair Chong

easy
for a month
with 28 days
28 days
to find and climb
through windows and doors

2.2.10

initiate

it's always like by Alistair Chong

was never my intention
to fall behind
the handbrakes were on
and i never realised
but now
i'll try
catching up
foot on the pedal
bit by bit

1.2.10

some just say

the right things by Alistair Chong

words that could inspire
have done so
a warmth inside
grows and grows
into a smile
outwardly emotive
