Beloved

Your beauty is all I see 

I want to be with you forever

Beloved come home to me

My love is deeper then any sea

My heart to yours I'll tether

Your beauty is all I see 

Listen and hear my plea

Gentle like the touch of a feather

Beloved come home to me

To my heart you'll have the key

No matter what the weather

Your beauty is all I see 

Together we can make such harmony

All other connections sever

Beloved come home to me

Our love is meant to be

We make each other better

Your beauty is all I see 

Beloved come home to me

Clamour

Not arguing today

Words get in the way

Sorry falls on deaf ears

And the world is waiting

For the clamour of the voices

To fall away 

When words get in the way

Time will not obey

When it falls away

The world stopped turning

So it gave up trying

We need to figure it out

How to stay

Before we fall away

Don't want to go away

So how do I stay

Hiding here all my days

Enclosed in your arms until night

With you eternally

Before you fall away

How do I stay

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead

 

If madness is as madness does

Then pleasure surely seeks

What madmen do, as it ever was

Emotion ebbs and peaks

And havoc surely wreaks

You are the voice inside my head.

A silent counterpart on my journey 

Keeping me company where I tread 

Dispelling all my fears and worries

 

Tell me not of tragic woes. 

I want to share your joys 

Speak to me of highs, not lows 

We'll rise above the maddening noise. 

The future comes on unflighted wing.

No faster than today, 

Let us live, our hearts will sing 

And greet the coming day.

Pledging

 Wouldst thou callst me thine

My heart thy pleadings yearns to hear

In moments fleeting ever divine

I wish thou closer, bide thou here

The moment nearer draws 

As two now one becoming

Breathing, living pause

To witness vows forthcoming

Alive

 Inhala, exhala,

Siente tu pulso empezar a escala,

Inhala, exhala,

Entre nuestras almas comienza como un jalar

Inhala, exhala,

Mi conexión al mundo parece rala,

Inhala, exhala,

Esto es lo que significa, vivir.

Inhale, Exhale,

Feel your pulse begin to race,

Inhale, Exhale,

Between our souls it starts a pull,

Inhale, Exhale,

My connection to the world seems sparse,

Inhale, Exhale,

This is what it means, to live.

Weaving

 Making patterns out of chaos

Divining the unseen

Tangled threads unweaving

Return from shuttle to skein

What once took shape and form

Is now just colors and thread

Old habits seem to be returning

I can't make it straight in my head

I tried to see the big picture

But now I have disarray

If this story just ends here

I'll treasure our few precious days

Time to start a new weaving

Try to tell a new tale

The same threads woven together

But changing the smallest details

Starlight, Starlight

 Starlight, Starlight

Starlight, Starlight made of dust

Grant to me, the one I lust

Brightest light up in the sky

Bring to me the same light in my eye

Falling star, lost from grace

Grant one glimpse of their face

Burning in the black of night

Bring to me untold delight

Truths

 Truths 

You've seen the naked truth of me

Haunting my days and nights

When the rain keeps me awake

Your arms encircle my waist

Our souls bears burdens together

When you leave to meet the dawn

My heart gently breaks

The world seems big and scary

I can only withstand the pain

Knowing you will be with be soon

The time slows to a standstill

As I await your presence

To reveal me once again

Alone in Plain Sight

 

Standing alone in plain sight
Keeping our intentions clear 
Shouldering on into the fight
Masking our peace and fear

Trying to keep intentions clear
We march forth into the fray
Suppressing our peace and our fear
We sit alone at the end of the day

We march forward into the fray
Never begining to doubt
Are we alone at the end of the day?
Time to make a whisper a shout

My love, don't ever doubt
We shoulder into the fight
Making our whisper into a shout
Standing alone in plain sight

Untitled #542

 The mere thought of you calms me,

Fills my body and soul with peace,
I reach through the emptiness and there you are.
Touching me with invisible hands,
Reading my feelings, my thoughts, my mind
We exchange energy,
Enjoying the warmth and heat we share.
The binds that tie us,
Cannot be broken,
Cannot be crushed or riven.
They stand in judgement of all around.
Showing love greater then imaginable.

Thine is the kingdom

This is your kingdom
Conquer your territory
Learn its peaks, its valleys, its plains,
Bow and worship its Temple
Offer a sacrifice
Allow the floods to return
As you learn the ways of your kingdom
You ride it in a steady pace
Until you sight home
Then the true race begins
Heart pounding
A stitch in your side can't even stop you
Bearing down to push
Harder and faster
Quicker and more rapidly
As wild as the sea
Until you arrive
Where your kingdom is awaiting

Sometimes

Sometimes I forget I'm alone
With your voice still echoing in my ear
I forget sometimes I'm alone
While listening on the phone
While wiping rain that looks like tears
I tell myself they are not fears
I try to forget how sometimes I'm so alone

It begins within and without
The grandest experience is love
It's love there can be no doubt

The first time it happens you fall
Your heart wants to burst from it's skin
The grandest experience is love

The air starts feeling really thin
As the breaths get harder to take
Your heart wants to burst from it's skin

You start wondering if this could be fake
If reality could burst back in
As the breaths get harder to take

Patience is your begetting sin
It begins within and without
If reality could burst back in
It's love there can be no doubt

Contest

Flagging, flailing
Wasting, wailing
I falter where you fail
Pressing, pleading
Sorrowing, Sighing
You fall while I still try
Wary, Watchful
Cautious, Clever
The odds of that this will work is never
Coveting, Crying
Begging a Begining
Who would contest those odds?

Stories

I onced dreamed of great beauty
Like a lamp burning in the night
My flights turned to fancy
My wonders, endless delight

The world was edged in crimson,
A bastion, a bulwark, and safe
No troubles touched or teased me
No mettle tested my faith

Then came a change and so slowly
A crack in the concrete facade
Like riven rock fording the sea
Like a wave waiting on the esplanade

Retreating to my humble cottage
In my shock, I cast down my eyes
On my bedspread, I found sitting there
On the pillow was the final prize

Secrets

The secret voice
Whispering in my mind
Telling me softly
Joking, laughing
Never here, gone
Fleeting, away
No sight to betray
Kiss me invisibly
Touching not being
Once more into the fray
No one knows
Spying on life
Not of but above
You cannot be found

Musings

Where do people go
When they just disappear?
Their lives but a memory
A dream in the night
Do they become angels
Watching over us by day?
Or are they simply
A figment,
Vanished,
When no one left remembers?

Darkest Dreaming

In the darkest corner of my mind
That's the place they stay
The ones that won't go away
Where they don't have to hide

I watch the parched desert
Encroached by now barren sea
Scorched down to aridity
And wonder if I can flee

In this bleak and desolate place
Electricity fills the air
Outside pressures compose the haze
That bring the end to many a chase
Reality has begun to tear
Seen through the spine of the sun's buring glare
