Last Hug
"I wont be back" I swear that's what I heard him say, that's when I fell to my knees and began to pray.
One Last Hug is all I ask, Make it a good one, you know, one that will last, I'll savor your touch 'til eternity, Please... just one last hug for me..."

The Roar Of Silence
It's the roar of silence that echoes through the chambers of my mind, and the love I lost and left far behind, the bitter words I was forced to hear, but its the roar of silence that I fear.........

Primeval Awakening
Let's reverse things for a while, And go back to the past, You are being chased by wild animals, lucky you moved fast, So go ahead my friend, rest while you may for when you arise, you'll again be the prey Come on...
wipe the sleep from your eyes ! its almost 2020... and time to arise !
