The Crossroad Of Darkness and Light

 

The CROSSROAD

+

OF DARKNESS AND LIGHT 

There were two lovers, star-crossed bound

Born in the same century, at the same hour

But years apart

Soul mates, if such a thing exists.

They grew up searching for one another

In strangers' eyes and strangers' hearts

Feeling the longing and needing of the other

But never meeting nor given that divine appointment.

They became poets and writers of thought

Expressing themselves 

The only way they knew how

And yet in expression, became all the more lonely.

And years of life went by on different continents

Speaking with different tongues

Living two different lives

Full and yet void of true satisfaction.

The boy and girl, the woman and man

At the end of themselves one bright shining day

Crossed each other's paths

And saw in the other the treasure hard sought.

But alas, the joy was all too brief

And the anguish came and washed it away

Not comprehending, not understanding

That there could not be what they wanted to be.

There could not be

Because their paths had both reached a crossroad

And one went to the left and one to the right

And would never join again.

You see, one of them loved the darkness

And one of them loved the light

The choices all souls born to this realm

Have to make before their journey ends.

The Book of Truth says that no man can serve two masters

For he will love the one and hate the other

And that light can have no fellowship with darkness

Because none can walk together unless they be agreed.

And so that is where the lovers found themselves

Two sides of the same coin, as it were

With only a thin layer, a thin veil between them

So very near and yet so far away.

Constantly reaching and ever repulsing

Pulling toward and pushing away

They could not find a common ground

And so lived life with souls asunder.

For one would write of darkness

But to reveal it, expose it and curse it

And the other would write of the same

But to revel in it, glorify it and bless it.

And that would sever their bonds forever

The soulmates born to complete one another

Unless one fell down to darkness

Or one rose up to light.

In The Wee Small Hours......

In The Wee Small Hours

One For My Baby........

Smokey Jazz

Lyrics

In the wee small hours of the morning

While the whole wide world is fast asleep

You lie awake and think about the girl

And never, ever think of counting sheep

When your lonely heart has learned its lesson

You'd be hers if only she would call

In the wee small hours of the morning

That's the time you miss her most of all

interlude

When your lonely heart has learned its lesson

You'd be hers if only she would call

In the wee small hours of the morning

That's the time you miss her most of all

Songwriters: Bob Hilliard / David Mann

How Long Does It Take?

 

How Long Does It Take?

How long does it take to stop loving somebody?

How long does it take to stop wanting someone?

How long till it stops feeling like you are homeless

When you've lost that sweet heart that so long felt like home?

How long till the nights stop being eons of time?

And the days are long days that you wish would just end?

How long till it seems that your hopes and your dreams

Didn't die with the love in the eyes of your friend?

How long till the hurt doesn't hurt anymore?

For you no longer feel and you no longer care

And the sorrow and wrath and the pain makes a path

To the darkness that grabs you when there's nobody there?

I don't know all these answers, I cannot comprehend

What the world and it's schemes do to a woman and man

I have tried to decipher, I have tried to make sense

How one soul becomes two when one soul builds a fence.

Why can we not perceive when the devil comes creeping?

Why can we not see how he delights in love's death?

Why do we fight with each other, our true loves, our lovers

Instead of fighting that devil with our last living breath?

How long, oh my Lord, will this battle keep raging?

How long till the sun shines and never goes dark?

How long till we know we can trust one another

And not just trust one another to break each other's heart?

I have crawled back into my old shell of heartache

Where there is no sunshine and no drop of rain

Down to the desert of despaired desolation

Where the fantasy is pleasure and reality's pain.  

How long will it be till I feel whole again?

How long till the world seems a safe place to live?

How long till I've taken all my soul can take

And my soul is refilled and has more love to give?

I do not love the nights now

 I do not love the day

The nights when our hearts would softly whisper 

 And love would come to play.

I do not love the dawning

 The joy that day would bring

I cannot hear the music now

I can't make my heart sing.

How long does it take to live again 

And for a human heart to heal?

How long till those fantasies all fade away

Replaced by something real?

If no answer comes for me and no counsellor I find

If no angel comes down with a miracle and sign

If I was just foolish, perceiving no end or start

May all my records show that I lived even though

And I loved with all of my heart.
