Summer in a Daydream

by Bénne

Summer was bliss

I met a man who I now miss

His name keeps playing in my head

It was his voice that sings into my hear

But today he was nowhere

I went back to summer to find him

But then I awake to realise it was just a daydream

Nobody Home

by Bénne

I tried to phone

He was home alone

Cold was the winter nights

And in his house he had no lights

I tried to phone that I was coming home

I got home and opened the door

I got home and saw he was gone

Nobody’s Child

by Bénne

A child cries for his mother

Alone in the park nowhere was his brother

His father is now seen with another

And his sister showed no bother

They visit him Summers sun, autumn leaves

Winter’s snow and spring falls

In the park he cried till he was grown

But all through the years he was still alone

Nothing changed and he remained unknown

Us in the world

by Bénne

It’s only us left in this world

We trapped in this glass called life

And memories don’t seem to ring a bell

I know this winter is like a knife

But I promise you it can cause us no wounds

We will make it like they did

Soon we will see the flowers bloom

Little brother, have faith for this is not our doom

Together Apart

by Bénne

To come as one eternally bounded by love

Is one promise in our hearts yet to be fulfilled

Though we both are farther apart

It’s amazing our hearts still found each other

They came together and made a love song

They sang of pleasant things we say to each other

And it causes my heart the joy of being in love with you

And everyday I wish to have more of this

That some day we’ll spend our lives in the years to come

And share the memories we would always preserve

You make me so happy beyond any dreams

To me you all what ‘I love you’ means 

Gone with the Wind

by Bénne

Never push the one you love and make the wind carry her away

You can only be a fool to be handing a rare diamond to an animal

The sad empty feeling you’ll cause upon your soul on this day

Will creep into your heart when the wind blows out the candle

With your bare hands and before your eyes you abused her

What there had stopped you? You threw your love to the wind

From your mouth you were rude and with it you accused her

What kind words had stopped you? You threw your heart to the wind

And when her spirit cried and bled you showed her no care

Your compassion was now blind. You forgot love was there

You evicted her from your heart paved way for hatred to reside in

You never spoke peace when things had inadvertently gone wrong

But pride in you showed no hesitant to have her forever gone

With her little strength ever waning she still proved she loved you

But you gave her away to the wind and created emptiness in your heart

Now you stand on mountains searching for the wind that took her

Vain is your search for the wind did not drop her on mountain top

Beneath you in the valley among fields of chrysanthemums, the wind laid her

Living Arms

by Bénne

I sit by the street and watch the living walk pass

Their eyes saw nothing more than an invisible arm

“Sir anything you can share with me, please?” I cried out

Playing his favourite music in his ears, I cried no more

The sun scorches and soon appeared patches of dry lands

I smiled as I look up and saw the sun appeared in the sky again

Then down where wishes are conceived, I wish to be a living

One who sorrows creates no darkness in his mind and world

I birth the wish to walk on my feet and be seen a living being

But all day I sit till my life weakens from hunger and slowly, I curl

Then when my voice could no longer make a sound to the living,

My begging arms emerge in his sight but he saw no life
