First pleas
Unsaid
Red eyes
Dry riverbeds
Here lies
Happiness
Buried six feet deep in regrets

Seconds pass
Out of time
Speak now
I’ve tried
Spelled out
Words repeat
Words first said as you fade to sleep

Dreamer
I call to you
Thrice more
Beyond veiled view
Same hour
Twelfth night
When fate took you from my life

Questions
Madness drives
To forefronts
Darkness arrives
Forever more
Your deathly dance
Unchained from mortal coil and my hands

Dark night
Fifth on same day
Answer me
In my dismay
Where she
Still alive
Would she stand to be my wife?

Sycophant
To demons now
Here I plead
Hear my vow
Disaster struck
Her voice I know
This pain in me only grows

Heaven now
At my back
Seventh cry
Into the black
Driving words
In my mind
Wond’ring how she left me behind

8:00
On the hour
When hands turned cold
When life turned sour
Thoughts careen
Into the fade
Twelfth night bereft of the day

Knees, you bleed
Heart is torn
My love, a corpse
With child, unborn
Words I read
Pure sacrilege
In hopes to breed words from the dead

Both hands dig in
Fingers trembling still
Hear my plea
Unsacred will
If she would speak
These words to me
Maybe I could finally sleep

All attempts failed
No price to much
Gouge out these eyes
Hands go untouched
One this wicked month
Short of a dozen years
I drive myself to bring you here

Oh Twelfth Night
What terror you bring
As words arise
From Hell’s opening
The inferno rains
Words burned in my head
“With this wedding ring, I thee wed”

You are more
Beautiful
More brilliant
Reminiscent of stars
And librarians
With their glasses
Hooked on strings

And yet I am
Here
Wait for you
To notice me
To find me
To love
Something
About me

And you speak to me
And post your
Little
Self deprecating
Harmful
Hurtful
Thoughts
Of how you’re
Unloved and alone

The room
You’ve locked yourself
In
Is shut
Unopened
Do not disturb
With walls lined
In black

But with
The light off
And your hands
Over your
Beautiful
Wide
Tear-filled eyes
You fail
To see me
Wanting to
Love you

If You don't carry me
Lord, I think they'll bury me
Underneath their tainted hands
Lord, just help me understand
Raise me up from the depths
Carry me, Lord, step by step
See my fear and see my doubt
Grab hold of them and cast them out
Raise me up, oh Lord, on high
Let love downpour so I never dry
For in this desert, Lord, I see
I'll be buried if You don't carry me

Golden droplets grow from the wildflowers under the sycamore tree
Looking and swaying along in a row gently within the breeze
Hidden somewhere over earth, under sky forever looking to the sun
Until they lock eyes with the moon at night when the day is done

Nectar so sweet seeps from the wildflowers at the sycamore tree's feet
Collected daily by the honey bees who hum when the flowers they meet
Often said and often told is that this song gifted wings and flight
Rising forth as they sing and composing from daylight into the night

Sweetest honey, ambrosia of the earth, your hues is unmatched, you shine
A mixture of work from both earth and sky, intoxicating as if wine
Why and where you lie in this world are known only on high
Under stars and over soil, a miracle in this by and by

I find things ending, bending, breaking
And not the way they're suppose to be
My love that was transcending
Hit the brick wall that was reality

In my inebriation
I found myself separate from reality
My love hospitalization
Came to a point where there no resuscitating

Shallow streams
Echo in chambers of fallen dreams
In bittersweet visions she
Comes to me
Memories
That come in eves and carry me

Sail away
Rising, the tides scream that things don’t change
Simple complexities
Seem so strange
Still they stay
While she, pristine, is there but out of range

If words can move, then why are you standing so still
When I am an arms length away just waiting to be filled
With love that spills out such wondrous things
Like our mouths and our tongues, oh so steadily pulling

And yet you stand there alone with cinder block-like feet
Not moving a single inch so my arms cannot reach
And I've gone the distance and words have pushed mountains for you
All I'm asking is just one step, that all you have to do

Yet you stay and say there's no more to be done
These words that move have failed me, for you they have not won
And not one single inch comes from your mouth, your feet, or you
Until, in sorrow, I find I can't move

Dearest, please, take these little pieces of me
Bury them in stone and soil so I might finally be
Strong enough for you, strong enough for me
Taking the weight the come with love and all things it may bring

Dearest, please, take these little pieces of me
Mix them well so I might blend within the sea
So I can submerge in a love that roars eternally
And so that a love that always was will forever be

Dearest, please, take these little pieces of me
Throw them to wonder that is the wind, so free
And I will never tarry when I hear you calling
And I will be the chariot that carries you to your dreams

Dearest, please, take these little pieces of me
Instead of in the ashes,  where our home once was standing
For my love will scream louder than the horrors that still ring
Redder than the ****** ax you use to make little pieces if me

The inner works of me
Grinding gears of bone amidst a ruby sea
Encapsuled within canals of running vein
Running to and from the station of the heart, an endless train

The inner workings of me
A flowing mind composed with pure memories
A simple wanting to be more than par
With dreams that far outnumber stars

The inner workings of me
A planted seed of aspiration reaping fruit from this tree
My limbs reaching towards the dawn
A hopeful poet, writing on

Fade with me, my only one
The past has come for us
The shining hue of our world
Has set the dirt for the next

Fade with me, dust to dust
Become one with me in the soil
Let flowers bud, bloom, and wilt
And our love outlive our lives

Fly home, dear sparrow, never look away
The snow is now faded along with the gray
Race past the slush and never mind the cold
See past the harsh days and see the rising gold

Homeward, dear sparrow, familiar's in view
The love of a warm nest is waiting for you
The journey is long and dream's is still there
Fly home, dear sparrow, to familiar air

If I should find myself outside of your arms
I fear I may not sleep again
A tossing and turning's the result of a heart burning
As drifting dreams become foreign friends
My head might start spinning 'till I find I'm unscrewed
Open eyes replacing open arms
So if you should leave, oh I beg and I plead
That your words come before the alarm

Here I am amongst the clouds
Over the sea
Under the sun
And I am not the only one
No, you and me make two

And here we float along, along
Over the minutes
Under the influence
Hand in hand and head in song
As sky, we float on through

And here I see and hear the sea
Overwhelming
Underappreciated
From the clouds that float along with me
No, along with you and I

As I am kissed by the sun and you
Over and over
Under a trance
And amidst the wonders of my view
Still you captivate on my eye

I do not paint poetry so much as it has painted me
A piece, a portrait calling me until all I can seem to see
Is a pale precarious wonder whose sanctimonious spell I'm under
A creature who seems to outdo even the grandest of nature's wonders
Till all I find is clarity of mind as I can clearly see
That all I stand to sit and see is her poetry that's painting me

I could never find you in the ever present day
Even though your cries seemed a simple whisper away
The grey, it overcame you and the sun refused to shine
And all my efforts came back to tell me I was out of time

And I found that all I could do was get on bend'd knee and pray
With fret and woe upon my face and words that ran away
Could you hear my pleas for you and would you know they were mine
Or is this helplessness a prison to which we're both confined?

I saw the streetlights light the fog
And for a moment, my world was gold
A late Friday night was something to behold

The world, it slowed as my night shone
Like fabled cities of ancient times
And all was composed within these eyes of

Pleading for a pause
Life flies by like the albatross
Breath taken, seconds lost
This is my lament

Creaking dials, awkward ages
Trying to cope with flipping pages
Life a climb, different stages
Gravity is time

Here we are, where we've been
Somehow now, never again
Long past the start, never an end
This is my lament

I heard the bells
From where I laid
And they kept eyes wide as they loudly said
That there were things the heart forbade
I prayed they spoke not of you

I heard the bells
They rang for me
The hand I held falling with the leaves
As noctuous tones rang to the sea
And told me unwanted truths

I heard the bells
Shook them away
Howled at the night, mourned in the day
Spurting hatred to drown out what they say
What mind pushed away, but heart knew

I heard the bells
Each damning tone
That spoke and said you are not home
In the arms of one whose heart you own
And I was haunted by the tears that followed

And I will give this parting word
Knowing you’ll never hear it
But love, as they say, is a verb
So my action’s to lift your spirit
To know that breath escapes my lungs
To do what I must to meet you lips
The twisting of unspeaking tongues
The grazing of unworthy fingertips

Parting is an ever aware
And unwelcome party guest
A weight that drives and despairs
Bringing tension to my chest
Though I would press ten times such costs
To say these vocalize such words
Of love, of want, and of inevitable loss
Of things ceasing to be heard

Please
Let me sleep
Instead of memories
Playing like silent films
On the ceiling
Got the feeling you were
Always you
And therefore always the
One for me
Too early to say
And far too late
Undertaking such things
Only brings the day
Closer to me
And a lack of shutting eyes
And midnight dreams

Please
Let me keep
A inkling of sanity
Instead of constant
Thoughts of you
Like picture books
With few words
But every line memorized
And studied
Intricately
Not in fear of failure
Kind of in fear of failure
Mostly in fear of
Overthinking
Over loving
Overindulging in you
And to be doomed
To forever stare at ceilings

I'm not here anymore
I haven't been for awhile
And though you see the whole of me
Sitting with a smile

I'm not here anymore
I've gone and evaporated
Away from here to the atmosphere
Where I found I've escalated

Are you still here without me?
Or am I gazing into the eyes of the departed
Are you flying by in the skies
Or still on earth with the downtrodden

I'm not here anymore, not today
My daydreams have carried me
And God only knows what will bring me back
At least, as far as you can see

Dearly beloved
Bless’ed the fall
The unbroken fever
The irrational action

Deprive yourself
Transcend your need
Disregard shaking weariness
Stand so they may rest

Drown in the flood
Pour our more than you consume
Value in the poverty
Worth in the humility

Warm with the sticks
Support with the stones
Build from broken pieces
Take note of blood and blister

Twisting tongue, rest
Worried mind, ease
Torn heart, stitches
At a table with room for just two

Dearly beloved
Death due, all parts
Gather these feeble visions
Make something greater from the least

May this be the vow

Eyes could not see what the mind would not let it
Yet the ears heard something, the soul would not forget it
And I stood amongst the sheer multitude
And all I saw was walking dust until I heard you

Your voice resonated with words not meant for me
A dress of tulip yellow walking through a greyish sea
And eyes glimpsed only this but ears focused upon her talking
A sultry ship of melodies in a ocean of dust walking

On and on I searched amongst the colorless and dreary
Until my eyes were red from searching, weak and weary
And I tried as I could to visualize, but my mind just would not let it
The tulip with a melodious voice, and my soul which would not forget it

Take me as I am, please
No. Please is too understanding
Take me as I am!
Wait. Maybe that's too demanding?
I don't think we understand each other
Maybe we're over analyzing
It's just that when I look into your eyes I stop
They're hypnotizing
Stop. No. Rewind please!
But I can't, the words are out
Could you give me a backspace button for conversation
That would relieve some doubt
I want you
Argh! Too lustful!
I need you!
ACK! Too needy!
Let's just say the world's a candy jar
And for your jolly rancher I'm greedy?
No? Not subtle? Too subtle? Argh!
Why is it so complicated to speak to you!?!
I'm like a 3 year old whose trying to make a picture out of glitter and glue
And the supplies just keep sticking!
Do you understand what I mean?
I see the perplexed look on your face and...
**** it, woman, you're pretty
Ack! Rewind rewind rewind!
Stupid stupid stupid!
The only way to catch an arrow is to say you DON'T want Cupid
So I don't want you....yes I do.
No I don't!
But I do!
No I don't!
Yes I do!
NO! I! DON'T!
Look at her!!!
....okay, I do.
But you wouldn't give me a second thought if I told that to you
I mean let's face it, you're so out of my league that we're not even in the same sport
I'm playing with the tiny tikes and you're in the pro team's court
But I would be a fool if this wall was all I feel on my fingers
And as perverted as that sounds I let the joke just linger
Because you're beautiful and I'm me
And who am I to attain a girl like you
The boy whose glasses fall down his nose and is missing one or two screws
I just want a dance... and a kiss.... okay, just a dance
No, what I want from you is the guarantee of a second, maybe third glance
To see you in the hallways tomorrow and know I make you smile
To know that you affirm we danced and liked it all the while
I want to be more than wallflower material and I want the prime
So with shaky legs, a corny disco ball, and a bad song, I stand and I greet you
And ask could this dance be mine....?

Your move. Gulp.

Dust filled air and air filled lungs
Desert all around
I walk aimlessly as I am pushed
By walls of words, of sound
Buzzards flying overhead
Ready to swoop down
But here I am
Alive

Sun filled sky and sky filled eyes
Squinting as I look
The heat that beats down on me now
Feeling my skin cook
And words echo in my head
Buzzards over, sand and soot
And here I am
Wandering

Sand under feet and feet trudging sand
Legs longing to give way
Survive, survive, words tell me to
As my body, heavy, sways
And the buzzards tell me to ignore
To give up to the day
Yet still I stand and walk
Alive

I want to get on the wrong train
Go nowhere and head north from there
Instead of staying still in drudgery
In monotony
Driving the same places that lack imagination
And leave my heart dry of inspiration

I want to look at a sea whose name escapes me
Yet I know that’s been calling me all my life
Bathe in the falling leaves of trees that say hello
That say they have been waiting a thousand years for me
Though their grounds have never kissed these feet

I want to get on the wrong train
Sample the rain upon my tongue
And taste the difference between unknown spaces and home
To be aware of my uniqueness and how insignificant it truly is
To breathe unfamiliar air

Let me gaze at unknown stars and see what dreams form
Cross bridges that have supported both hero and tyrant
Let me sing in tongues that write such words that convey universal hopes and fears
Put me on the wrong train and watch me go

I am a compilation
Of complications
A station on the radio
My radar too tuned in
Hearing too acutely
My feelings too wild
Chaotic
It's not your fault
But is it mine?

You stand there
Letting me taste you
And
Leaving me
Here
Wanting more
Feverish in my attempts
Stumbling over my
Braindead heart
It's not my fault
But is it yours?

Sweet, yet bitter
So well seasoned
I have to dull
Myself
Too much too soon
Wanting
Impatient in anticipation
Of another coming and
Picking
You
Up
It's not your fault
But is it theirs?

"Ain't no sunshine when she's gone"
But don't fly to frequent
Don't fly to near
Burns will appear
The wanting is toxic
The passion
Too fervent
Fearful
But still there
A constant
Itching
It's not my fault
But it's all I am

Overflowing or bone dry
No in-betweens
Hot or cold
In a lukewarm
Scene
Consisting of consistent
Changes
But unfaltering
In my wanting
To never
Lose

It's not your fault
But I'll blame us both one way
Or another

Paint such visions in my heart
In this cold, feed the dying hearth
Tread where my footprints are in this snow
My lovely, warm me, don't let go
Hear me calling amongst the noise
Rest in the rumble of my voice
Feel as the warmth in our blood grows
My lovely, warm me, don't let go
Sing such songs from year before
Dare me, tell me to fear no more
Home is you and all I need know
My lovely, warm me, don't let go
I will kiss your hand as we close our eyes
Hold you close, your breath my lullaby
Let our love stay on the straight and narrow
My lovely, warm me, don't let go

Paint such visions in my heart
In this cold, feed the dying hearth
Tread where my footprints are in this snow
My lovely, warm me, don't let go

Hear me calling amungt the noise
Rest in the rumble of my voice
Feel as the warmth in our blood grows
My lovely, warm me, don't let go

Sing such songs from year before
Dare me, tell me to fear no more
Home is you and all I need know
My lovely, warm me, don't let go

I will kiss your hand as we close our eyes
Hold you close, your breath my lullaby
Let our love stay on the straight and narrow
My lovely, warm me, don't let go

Have your fill, my son
The war has not been won
Let your lungs inhale smoke and dust
And feast upon this buffet

See what anger has bred
As on blood soaked dirt you tred
Know that songs of the lost will ring
Where silence was once the victor

Drink from this cup, my son
The time, the day, has come
For if you return, body, heart, and soul
You will not return the same

Hello, Mister Ticking Clock
I've wasted too much time
Thinking of when you'd stop
And my time, my time would be

Up and down I'd find I'd pace
Till the floorboards would complain to me
That I behind in the race
To catch up with my

Time, it escapes me
Like a little child with a fist full of sand
And all I find I'll ever be is
A fool, ever and always...

There was
Dismay
In the everyday
And a wishing
That the wind
Would
Carry her
To another life
Where the world was
Less than
The backpack of
Rocks
That she carried
That she carries
Uphill
To
This
Day
Double loaded
Packed so tightly
That it could break
And break her
Any moment
And take time
That she never had
In
The
First
Place
One of a million millions
Scattered faces
Nothing special
To anyone
Especially them
Especially
Her-
Self
In a moment
It would replay
In the morning
But still she
Gets
Out
Of
Bed
And for that alone
Dismay is her weight
And she’s strong

I wait for you and just so you know
I may be in love with you
And no pressure, in fact stay in your leisure but you're suppose to make my dreams come true
Wait, no no, don't get up, sit back down
I'm seeing the look in your eye
You're just lazy, but you'll call me crazy because of the words that fly
Don't look at me that way, shut up.
You don't think I know how I sound?
It's unsettling to be in this unbalanced beam and not so solid ground
Called love and you keep on giving that look like you think I'm insane
But it's you're fault! Oh, crap, don't do that....
Why did that come out of my brain...?
Now don't get mad... please?
Sorry? Crap! You're mad at me, aren't you!?!
I wish for a moment I could give you my eyes so you could see my view
But you sit there with that look on your face
And you simply stare at me
As if I'm a purple hippopotamus hanging from a palm tree
And... you're not laughing
You still think I'm out of my mind
But I have one thing going for me that I can fall behind
One thing that I can claim beyond sanity
And it's that you're a dream come true
Because you're the one only one who can turn my reds to blues
And calm me down and keep me settle
And love me all the same
I see that coy look on your face asking me what's my game
But there's no tricks, I did nothing wrong
My hands are sanitized
But I choose today to be the day to make you realize
That I love you and you love me just like the Barney song
That's been stuck in my head all day like when you wear that pink thong
And I got a smile. Hallelujah!
You're not mad anymore!
But the truth's still heavy upon my heart, stinging like an open sore
And the truth is this
In you lies the key to make my dreams come to life
To not end the trials but to bear on with me in the strengthening strife
To love and love endlessly
Through snow, sleet, hail, or rain
And to make every single thing in my heart come to... sigh... alright. I'm insane...

What if the words were kind?
The words inside her head
Crazy as it seems they deem her unworthy
Not worth it
Not worthless
But so close that one more mistake my tip
         Her
Over
                The edge
But what if the words were kind?
The words inside her head
What love would she find for others
If she had love for herself
If she had
Love
           To
                 Spare
So much that there were words left
For her
To not only be hear
But trusted. Believed
Words to fall upon
So that she might
           Not
Shatter
                       Again
And be left to pick up tearing words

Float upon the milky white seas and make your way 'mongst the stars
Gliding your fingers and creating ripples as you ride up dreams that carry you far
Here we are where we've been for the last billions of blinks
Filling a cup full of silver liquid, taking the drink

And onward we row as you hold your parasol and whistle a tune
Moon filled sky and sea of white warmed by the month of June
Here we are where we've been for the last million kisses or so
Our boat riding amidst the stars, amidst the full moon's glow

I saw flowers in her hair
As if from there they’d grown
Daisies formed into a crown
Upon the head of Rose

And Rose was what they called her
Though Violet her true name
With daffodils in her hands
Freshly dripping with summer rain

She smelled of bloomed gardenias
Like a sunflower, she looked to the light
A lily amongst thistles and weeds
Lips of pink and skin of white

She was the rarest of them all
But a wildflower in heart and soul
Able to grown in the midst of weeds
Blooming, striving, gold

If I had the wings
Upon this back of mine
Would I fly with them
Or would my heart be fragile
And fear the chance to fall
And crush my soles

Machiavellian in the way you step
Sultry temptations
Slow drag on the coffin nail called life
Slight correlation
How sweet for the world to bend for you
Scuffed to the knees
With a smile reminiscent of crocodile
She walks dangerously
At threat in every sense of the word
Fluent in her wiles
Innovation in internal investigation
Transcends the mile
Deliberate in the introspective
Oil and grease the machine
Poised and confident to represent her perspective
Effectively

My head is filled to the brim
Packed brainstems
Maybe that’s why I take you straight to heart
Truths whispered and held in cupped hands
Like butterflies, then released
See where they land and the clarity they impart
You words are vast galaxies
Mystical, colorful imagery
Like melted crayons pouring from the fount of your mouth
Dripping into molds making wax elephants
Heavy words trumpeting sentiments
That I may never ever truly figure out
Eyes that speak paragraphs upon chapters upon volumes
Upon libraries
And I am only a syllable in the commentary
Fill the empty crevices of a heart once on fire
Long since expired
And give this charred thing new life, incendiary
Make this full mind empty every bit but you
Clear the queue
So I might feast on more than these offerings of crumbs
Minds will always be filled and filling
And full
But the the choice of what’s ingested is the rule of thumb

Wonder-filled

The symptoms, I can see
What’s hard’s to find the malady
There are problems arising
And the thought so paralyzing
I fit in perfectly
In the drawer of expired batteries
Can’t find a use, but I’m still working
Though I don’t mask well the hurting

There’s no mistaking me
A 6’2” catastrophe
Not the favorite, but I’m up there
Just don’t read my list of errs
I no longer apologize for myself
Though I’m not opposed to some help
These wings are malting, I don’t fly
But I aspire for the sky

Can you see me falling
Though on air seems like I’m walking
The open wounds masquerade as scars
I’m walking strongly, but not that far
Partial truth are still lies
Yet they’re sung lullabies
I’m trying to find truth in me
And am sometimes left out to bleed

The only apparent cure for this
Is to live my life and do my best
But life looks soft, but rubs on rough
And sometimes best is not enough
A prophet for thing in hindsight
A tympanum of unjust and unright
Crawling from the weight of memories
To hope and find the malady

She whispered to me something that wounded beyond words
And the boom that ensued shook the ground and the birds
They flew to the sky, gave a cry, and shed a tear
And those words bit into this fragile heart of mine
'Till all the good feelings poured out me like wine
And a wall of dreams broke down to the armies of attacking fears

And my eyes went opaque and my tongue, it went dry
With fantasies failing me and clouding my skies
The heavens pouring down their wishes for better days
And they angels watched as the smile fell from my face
As the day went awry and my heart fell from grace
And her words, they did wound me and those words with echo always

As she writes in day or moonlight
She contemplates definitions
Finding the figures televised
Are not models, but a condition
For the dead, it seems have become the dream
That man aim to worship and infatuate over
And this she find, as a woman, a girl
Is what's infecting the world like fever

Pale skin so white opposes the sight
Of her freckled, pinkly complexion
Vain within those whose malnutriton
Are posted as pure perfection
Lips of red the of which the dead
Show the blood that once flowed through vein
As Death runs his fingers through limp hair
The word "beauty” writhing in pain

And this, to the world, she also be the girl
The woman's aspiration, all in all?
This should be instead of true form
A copy, a replica, a doll?
To lie with each breath, beauty wrapped in death
To please mankind in sights of its end
Is a plight, in day or moonlight
She cannot and will not defend

I may have to press pause on the day
To analyze and hypothesize how not to lose you again
To find where the other times rose and fell
So yesterday might help push a tomorrow

My words will rise back into me
Off the floor with the breaths I once set free
Counting between each second and pausing
To find where I lost you again

Why do you write with your pen to paper
Living your dreams in your words
Questions in your mind that dive into your work
Creating visions of different worlds

Is it for love or the lack there of?
What does your truth entail
Looking for something where there once was nothing
With hope in your hand, so frail

Why do you write here under an idle light
Sitting, pondering the days
A heart possessing both joy and pain
A wish written in ink that fades

Who do you long for, what do you live for
What composes your reality
Why do you write, dearest poetic soul
What keeps you dreaming?

View the scenery
The lesser of attractions
Beyond the lights
The stars
And in the vast, the blackness

The backdrop endlessly
Speaking to ears
Not hearing
I feel you out in space
I think of you so clearly

Prayers float from my mouth
Answered, forwarded to voicemail
My ceiling holds spaces
Atoms form me
And my jail

It’s electricity
That makes chemicals in me
The forms the lonely
Forms the empty
Filled with the scenery

I wish for a dreadful thing
Every night
Wonderful though it may be
My pillow by my side
Emulating you laying next to me

Spaces between compose words
Flicked outside by
Movements of my tongue
I dwell in loneliness
And I pray I’m not the only one

Do you feel lonely?
Beyond your street
These scenic stars?
I pray you long for me
In crowded room, still alone you are

I feel this
Aching too
A rowboat in an endless sea
I look in the black
And pray you’re as lonely as me

You should feel as lonely as me...
... tell me she’s as lonely as me

Selfishness fill the darkness
Lines between concrete seas

Help me believe she’s as lonely as me...

I know these thoughts
They arise
Like moons
Eclipsing light of day
I whisper wicked things
Coated in prayers that float away

These eyes
Dare not close
In case miracles start
In front of me
Maybe my wounded heart injures
But I pray you search till you find me

Eternity is brief, love
We have not a moment
To waste
Two hearts scattered in blackness
Leaking words that float to space

I beg forgiveness
I know my folly
I’ve took too long
No map in darkness
Hope dwindles, but I search on

These words divisive
Selfish as they float
Never to be
Retrieved
I pray you’re lonely
And that you search impatiently

I pray you’re lonely
And ever alone, you ache for me...

Wipe my eyes clean with saline found inside your tears
Make sure they're happy, none from sadness, none from fears
Show me the happiness that I have never known
Give me a reason to hold your hand while I roam

I'm no prophet but I can tell this will be right
By the sound of your voice that carries through the night
And I can finally see and hear all thanks to you
Just ask me, dear, to love you and that's what I'll do

Tender feelings and mixed emotions pass by like cars
Shedding light on this dark, drab day wherever you are
Holding kisses and saving hugs for tic-tac-toe
Loving you, dear and feeling you and you alone
