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
pulse.

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

something could always bring
this 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

heavy eyes

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

meant to be
how by Alistair Chong
how can you know

or in another system
of systematic convention
i want to know

oh long
forgotten things by Alistair Chong

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

suns by Alistair Chong
time
she was my friend
now not so sure

but still she takes my hand
and pulls me away
from where i love

through windows and doors

but now
i'll try
catching up
foot on the pedal
bit by bit

some just say
the right things by Alistair Chong
words that could inspire

into a smile
