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

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

Nomenclature

This thing called love turns us inside out
Flips worlds upside down
Holds us bound
While we scream and shout
And play the game out
Can be lost and found
This thing called love

This thing called love makes us doubt
No matter how devout
But we all come around
Come home safe and sound
With our hearts more stout
This thing called love

Priorities

When with friends we smile and say

Forget the work and cease the day

We need love to guide the way

So call in sick or stay away

Before, with stress, you fade away

So with friends we smile and stay

Tomorrow’s work will go away

If you doubt it, then look away

You need a love to guide your way

Can you question what I say,

That priorities have gone to hay?

When with friends we smile say,

We no longer need love to guide the way!

Isolation

There’s a place up on a mountain

Or a cabin by the sea

When the time comes to stop running

Come there to look for me

I might not be the best companion

By the time you come for me

By then we will both be grey

But at least we will be free

A focused mind amasses much skill

To doubt it would be unwise

Some say it is impossible

To be free from spying eyes

This is proper motivation

All one really needs to be

With constant love and devotion

One wholly becomes free

But that’s another story

For today we’re miles apart

Take a deep breath and remember

You’ve been written on my heart

Empty Promises, Broken Vow

Empty Promises, Broken Vow

You’ve barely kept your secrets now.

Words are tricky they tend to slip

The world in spinning beyond your grip

When the time is right, Life will change

You can’t stop it from feeling strange

Sonner or later your friends will know

You’ve done your best, but feelings show

One day soon you’ll break the wall

That barrier you’ve built so high,

Is yours to fall with just a sigh

Then run, speed as fast as you can

There is no doubt, you know the plan,

An escape there is, you know it’s true

Life is what you make of it

Make peace and quiet for a bit
