Unique

Beauty is truth
So don't lie about it
Music is joyful
So don't make it mourn
Our bodies are holy
So don't defame them
Thoughts are precious
So don't scare them away
Words belong to everyone
So don't try to claim them
Take only what belongs to you
Allow others their own uniqueness

Star Prince

Return to me my prince of stars
And clouds will clear the sky
I see you for who you truly are
____________________________________

Without you here, it seems bizarre
I won't you just give it a try
Return to me, my prince of stars
____________________________________

I can see your face from afar
You never could hide a lie
I see you for who you truly are
____________________________________

A message shows your avatar
Instead of a call now, so why?
Return to me, my prince of stars
____________________________________

You've tried your best our love to mar
But what we feel can never die
I see you for who you truly are
____________________________________

Now you return from so far
The loose ends begin to tie
Return to me, my prince of stars
I see you for who you truly are

Decisions

Decisions

A fleeting ball of gossamer

Floats precariously on the wind

My soul’s sanity is dependant

On sticking a needle in

I’m no tower of strength

Built so tall and compelling

I’m not a font of love

There is no joy over welling

The line will end with me

Not drift infinite into space

It will never be the right time

The right person or the right place

Hopes are dashed here daily

Don’t come here to have your tears quenched

Truth cleans brighter then cleanser

Lesser emotions must be benched

So gird your loins and enter

Don’t be surprised when I say

I will not lose my center

There, at least, you have no say.

Façade

Façade

We choose the face we show the world

And lose our grace as truth is hurled

Flung far and wide as others take

All our lives we live as fake

The price of love is what you pay

As all your friends you will betray

So we give up goodness sake

As our lives we live as fake

In the end the lie is real

As we forget how others feel

Then another heart will break

As all our lives we live as fake

Deadly

Deadly

Tell me of the howling of winds

That blow the bleakest black

Whisper of your darkest sins

God and I will hear of your slack

Whisper to me of cleverness

Of great deeds, of battles foretold

Don’t try to make it seem less

Clever or brave or bold

Remind me of your virility

Of women, of wine, of song

Don’t bother with humility

Tragic tales are often too long

Shout of your numerous possessions

Of which you only want more

These are private confessions

Not added to legend of lore

Adding substance to the world though

Would require much effort, a coup

Forgive the truly low blow

But that seems too much effort for you

The world must seem like an oyster

One that you wish to eat

You feel as though you’ve been cloistered

And lacking of anything sweet

Forgive my troubled verses

I see the ire in your eyes

Little effect have your curses

The truth will outweigh the lies.

Alteration

Alteration

If alteration alters

What is left behind?

Is it something new?

What is there to find?

There is something in the changing

Something to be said

Never left to notice

What happens in your head

Tomorrow’s troubles find you

No matter how you hide

If you tell the truth as oft’ as able

You never regret having lied

Dagger's Edge

Dagger’s Edge

Sometimes my feet get bloody

My balance is not quite level

But the ground below is muddy

I’d end up completely disheveled

It’s harder then walking on eggshells

At least, on that you know the score

For eggshells crush rather easy

They are simply the spoils of war

But balancing on the dagger’s edge

Playing both sides at once

You never know which bet to hedge

Relying on luck and impudence

There’s always a side to favor

Someone who wants to win

Never taking time to savor

Only looking for the next sin

The only winners are failures

The only triumph is loss

Truth is no longer my savior

To bear this is my cross

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

Alone again naturally

Away my dearest
I can not see
The night is almost gone
If it is not seen
It does not exist
Or so I'm lead to believe
So if I do not
Watch you depart
You'll still be here with me
The rising sun
Reveals the truth
Alone again naturally

Till the Universe Stops Breathing

Refreshing sounds call me home

A voice that echoes true

No matter what life throws my way

I still come home to you

Hope when days seems grim

Conscious never falters

A solid rock, firm under ground

Love that never alters

Till the universe stops breathing

Hearts will beat in time

Till the universe stops breathing

I love that you are mine
