A Road So Covered in Snow

Cory Jones — Sat, 28 Jan 2006 17:53:00 +0000

The twisting in his stomach
was telling a tale
of a turning heart

While he filled the pages
with the shards of words
of a burning art

She lies under sheets
and stares up at a dancing thought
that’s has taken the night

Beneath this chilly sky
it’s the hope of something beautiful
that has taken the night

Between them sits a road
a road so covered in snow
some say, it could make you blind

A road so covered in snow
some say, if you waited just long enough
it would be a beautiful place to find

October Leaves

Cory Jones — Sat, 28 Jan 2006 17:45:00 +0000

If I can see the Sun
then why am I still
so cold?
Watching the leaves dying
just to be
picked up
again

Im as naked as the trees
Im as frozen as the ground
I will keep watching the leaves
as we both fall down

So I will follow October
as she slowly
walks away
Im sure I will get it
right
next time
I promise

The Thief

Cory Jones — Sat, 28 Jan 2006 17:35:00 +0000

Some say I could have stopped this crime
but I swear it happened too fast
as I watched her escaping
escaping her past
just in time
just
in time

And some say she’s trespassed these walls before
but I swear she’s just looking for light
as I watched her steal this heart
steal this heart tonight
just once for
just
once more

Keeping a Night Sky Alive

Cory Jones — Sun, 13 Mar 2005 02:12:00 +0000

Shooting stars keep a night sky alive
and calm dark waters are rippled by a feeding fish
With our back against the dewy grass, you whisper,
“they dont last…..so make a wish.”

They burn so bright, then drop out of sight
I would spend a lifetime to take it all in
Maybe our fires done burning
and like those stars…..weve fallen

Our past sings through swaying trees
and words break silence like a distant wind chime
Maybe this is only the beginning
and we will burn brighter in time

So tonight I share my wish
to the girl with the broken smile
ill throw it all in the water
and ask her to stay a while

Im not saying “goodbye”

Cory Jones — Sun, 13 Feb 2005 05:00:01 +0000

Does your face still light up?
Do you still begin to laugh
when you watch the video
and look at the photograph?
Of that night when we danced
like there was no rest
That night I forgot what its like
to be second best
Does your body still fill with butterflies?
Do your eyes still begin to wet
when you remember that night
when we first met?
Well, today you flew back
to your home and to your guy
But I will have no regrets
when I look to that sky
Time cheated us once again
we knew this day would suck
But Im not saying “goodbye”
…Im wishing you luck

These drops of sweet “sorry”

Cory Jones — Sun, 13 Feb 2005 04:57:00 +0000

If you listen…..
just a little closer
and if you would stay…..
just a moment longer
You might be able to hear
these drops of regret
fall into the bucket
And you might be able to see
these drops of sweet “sorry”
filling up the bottle

I told myself this is
no fault of my own
and blamed it on your fear
of being alone

but if I bring you…..
just a little closer
and if I could hold you…..
just a moment longer
I might be able to take back
those drops of regret
and empty that bucket
And I might be able to soak up
those drops of sweet “sorry”
and break open that bottle

We made this fairy tale
into a very short story
You deserved a much better ending
and for this…..
Im very very sorry..â€¦

Who filled the clouds with goodbye’s?

Cory Jones — Thu, 02 Dec 2004 05:54:00 +0000

Your eyes were the night sky I once stared into
jet black…centered in midnight blue
Who stole the twilight that never dies?
Who stole the stars from those eyes?

I guess I didn’t know what to say
to a night sky fading away
Who said the moon never cries?
Who stole the stars from those eyes?

Now, the night breeze will surely come
the one that leaves us feeling numb
So, who filled the clouds with goodbye’s?
Who stole the stars from those eyes?

Talking to the mirror

Cory Jones — Sun, 14 Nov 2004 05:20:00 +0000

Will I?
Why ask?
“You don’t
love for ever.”
That is why she
isn’t looking.
“Good.”…..
……………
…Good looking
isn’t she?
“Why is that
ever for love?”
Don’t you
ask why?
“I will.”.

A word like love can be unspoken but true

Cory Jones — Sun, 24 Oct 2004 15:03:00 +0000

A word like love
can be hidden
and put away for a while

while you look for that girl
who will change your life
and make you smile

Just don’t forget
look at the girl
standing in front of you

she’s laughing
and happy
because of you

Not everyone believes in love
at first sight
at first glance

but don’t make the mistake
of losing this one
and missing your chance

This girl will be there
for no one else
but you

because a word like love
can be unspoken
but true

Share a goodbye with a drop of rain

Cory Jones — Sun, 24 Oct 2004 14:57:00 +0000

Im hiding beneath your fingernail
Im just another grain of sand
Let me join the countless others
and please, rinse your hand

I share a goodbye
with a friend whose fate i see in me
He’s a drop of rain already falling
and will shortly join the sea
