Wait Too Long

Blowing in my ear
Under a cloudless sky
Till the day breaks
 I sit with you, just us
Together worlds away from everyone else
Idyllically
Lounging on the white sand
Lingering by the blue green seas
Believing this can last forever
Eternal, Blissful, peace
Soon-to-be achieved and quick to be forgotten
Or may be carved in stone...
Only if we two vow never to wait too long

Naive (Pantoum)

We share a heart so tender
Some do think us naive
We two have only surrendered
We allow ourselves to believe

Some just think us naive
They are unaware of the cost
While we allow ourselves to believe
The real world can be lost

They don't perceive the true cost
That we two have sundered
The real world we have lost
While we share our hearts so tender

Forevermore

Forevermore your love I'll be
Hold me to this promise true
You get to be as free as can be
While forevermore loving me
Even though now it's hard to see
And you can't believe it true
Forevermore your love I'll be
Hold me to this promise true

Simply Stories

I’d like to believe in fairy tales

But I’m not that naive

Fairy tales are simply stories

Something little girls like to believe

And if you look closely at them

Cinderella is only a maid

Being tortured by stepsisters

Abused by relatives, overworked and underpaid

Everyone’s favorite Snow White

Is the marvelous fluke

A glorified servant

Who marries a Duke!

The best one by far

Is the stone cold fish

Who by choosing her love, loses her voice

How’s that for a wish?

So why must we choose these

Over glamorous tales

I’d rather have something else

Even if that something else fails

Hopeless

Leave me, I beg you

I can’t stand this pain

You are low hanging fruit

Just there, but not quite ready

Everyone’s but never mine

A light of love, a will-o-the-wisp

Never seriously anything at all

One day you will be

But it won’t be with me

I’m not worthy of attention

I lack more then I possess

So one day they’ll come to take me

Many loving fans, I guess

Not really, nobody cares

I’ve been told that often enough

And if you hear it often enough

You begin to believe it

Maybe I worship the ground that you walk on

Because the one I walk on is tainted

Black as sin and just as gritty

You walk on air and you know it

I falling through cracks in the pavements

Wrecked and hopeless am I

My Own Two Eyes

Sink into the warmth

Of pleasured company

Toss a log onto the fire

Wrap a cozy blanket around us

Take a drawn out sip

Out of your tumbler full of whiskey

Pull me closer to you

I need comforting

Will you be here when I wake?

Are you even here now?

Is this only a dream

Brought on by too much reading?

You do seem to resemble

My favorite hero

Tall mysterious shy

Too wonderful to notice

That everyone adores them

But maybe I am dreaming

Cause no way could someone love me

I would only believe it

When I see it

With my own two eyes

Simple Wanderer

All my tomorrows

Bleed into yesterdays

When the burden of proof

Lies in the beholder

Truth flies on the wings

On a snow white dove

When you can’t believe

What you your eyes tell you

Bring to me you fears

I’ll lend you my sorrows

Together we will be

The saddest of companions

But maybe together

We can conquer the world

I’ll lend you my hand

But I must see where to place it

Without a direction

I’m simply a wanderer

Groping in the dark

Dominion

Steel under Silk,

Strength below belies pretty promises.

I love you is a powerful spell

Make me believe.

The power of your spell,

Your power.

You certainly have dominion over me.

Do you have the authority

To control the world around us?

There is no right or wrong answer waiting,

Only green/bright here

Dilemmas arise,

How are they answered, love?

If there is a hunger; how is it met?

With a purely physical proposition,

Or is the answer

Only to wait,

To learn patience, politeness, probity?
