Hello, my Friends;
As a new member of "Poets for Human Rights", I think it's only suitable that I begin post some of my work. With that in mind, I decided to post some of my favorite completed compositions.
Please feel free to visit my Blog whenever you wish. Criticism is always welcome. :)
In due regard, Christa

"The Time Is Now"
the time is now
for you to rise
the time is right
to realize
the lies behind truth's guise
the time is now
to see the light
the time is right
to expedite
dreams thought out of sight
the time is now
for you to see
the time is right
for you to be
the you forever free
the time is now...

"Why Do I Even Care?"
It has been so very long
Since I have seen your living face
So long, in fact, that the memories
Disappear without a trace
Flipping through old photographs
To recall old memories lost
Trying to retrieve them and
Forget them all at once
Your eyes just pass right over me
As if I'm not really there
I know what you really think of me
So, why do I even care
You were sitting in the park today
Your arm around another girl
It stunned me when I realized
The hellish fate I wished… Continue

"Sea Of Dreams"
Somewhere near
Cloaked in fear
Men reach for their dreams
Feel the breeze
Through the trees
Nothing's as it seems
There you lie
Heave a sigh
Living for the day
Sing the verse
End the curse
Time for you to play
We all live in a sea of dreams
Though most have not been met
Yours have never been abandoned
You'll reach them; don't forget

"Forever Young"
I remember when I was young
All those deeds remain unsung
And now the curtain begins to close
But don't you see its not time to go
Those days when the crowd used to love me
And in a way, I guess they still do
I'll get that love back as I give it
Don't you see that I'm not through
I hear the crowd, I hear the music
I need a place to love and play
Why give up when I know there's more
Another sunset; another day
Open the curtains once again
I need a place to sing my songs
My mus… Continue

"Waiting For You"
Looking deep into your eyes
Reminds me of the turning tides
Every hour we spent together
Resides within the stars
I'm waiting for you to return
I'm sitting by the fire watching planets burn
Every day that you are gone
I think about the things we've done
Knowing that your in harm's way
Makes me think there's hell to pay
I'm waiting for you to return
I'm sitting by the fire watching planets burn
I can survive on my own
But that is not all you've known
I'd prefer to have you… Continue
