WHY |
Why do I find myself drowning in my tears?
This exquisit mix of pain and happiness, yet this time- no fears.
Confusion envelops my heart- as it is torn in two.
Recruiting volunteers to mend it- the pr... Posted by Lila Jai on Mon, 01 Jan 1900 12:00:00 PST |
Holding My Breath |
Turning blue-
waiting for you
to make a decision.
This is nothing new.
I'm drowning in the ocean of the distance
that comes between us
each day.
Why do I feel like I am giving my SELF away?

The Fool |
It is a Fools game to risk perfection
Out here alone on a wire
Unsuspecting victim of desire
You wear a thousand faces
A master of disguise
And Im addicted to the passion in your eyes
You wi... Posted by Lila Jai on Mon, 01 Jan 1900 12:00:00 PST |
Toute Cette Tristesse (All This Sadness) |
Theyre crying all around me
Their screams are all I hear
Please stop their constant shouting
Make it all disappear
Im dizzy with all the commotion
I just want to relax
To stop the noise inside... Posted by Lila Jai on Mon, 01 Jan 1900 12:00:00 PST |
Same Situation |
Again & again the same situation
For so many years
Tethered to a ringing telephone
In a room full of mirrors
A pretty girl in your bathroom
Checking out her sex appeal
I asked myself when you sa... Posted by Lila Jai on Mon, 01 Jan 1900 12:00:00 PST |
My Child |
Still a child in many ways, yet so wise beyond your years.
Loving to play, loving your freedom
yet burying any sadness and tears.
The hand that you have been dealt has been a difficult one,

Surrender |
I watch you hide in the darkness of the well lit room.
I watch you run away from the feelings that consume.
I close one eye, hoping that it will cut the pain in half.
This stabbing sword through an... Posted by Lila Jai on Mon, 01 Jan 1900 12:00:00 PST |
The Wait |
Between the opening of the gates and the closing of the gates,
I wait.
Gathering flowers in unshepherded fields,
I wait.
In a Babylon of self-control,
I wait.
In the marketplace, covered with ... Posted by Lila Jai on Mon, 01 Jan 1900 12:00:00 PST |
Cradle My Heart |
Last night,
I was lying on the rooftop,
thinking of you.
I saw a special Star,
and summoned her to take you a message.
I prostrated myself to the Star
and asked her to take my prostration

Tease |
I guess you could say that I'm slightly flawed
from time to time.
To be loved and admired
seems to be my crime.
I allow many to desire to get to know me.
Yet what they know
is only a fantasy.... Posted by Lila Jai on Mon, 01 Jan 1900 12:00:00 PST |
