We have seen
those who have stolen
and like cycles do
pass down their lowly ways

Is there a price
for every gesture?

A karmic bank
of rain checks
for the next debter

Men trying to buy
their way into the
eye of the needle
But we see you

While we make
a pittance
for our graces

But we'll continue to knead
the love in our
bread

And bleed
compassion for
the masses that need it

Don't give in to what
hate brought in

Don't let them breed
you into a vicious sin

know that we are not
tainted from within

We are born
from the Sun
Now let's be one

Your words are like silk
No matter what they are
Softer than a quilt
Could heal any scar

Your smile is a lantern
In my darkest night
In my mind you burn
All that's in my sight

Your presence is a gift
It makes my day much better
Without I feel a rift
To you I am a debter

Your eyes are like jewels
Priceless beyond compare
I would break all the rules
So into them I'd stare

Your lips are like a rose
I can't resist the lure
Oh the way it glows
Something oh so pure

My love she speaks secretly  
When everyone’s full of sleep  
By metaphor, under mist’ry  
When the only sound comes from the creep  
I watch her lying there  
While my conscience grows  
And I strike her soft hair  
Crownlike as it flows

My love she laughs endlessly
When the wings of truth unfold
When everybody is sleepy,
And when the slumbers are waxed in gold.
The road outside is quiet
The night it’s ours
Nearby the lampposts’light
Slowly drift the hours.

My love she never blinks
Looking straight at you, at me
Still I just can’t guess what she thinks
The truth is best hidden in plain see.
When she waves with the bed
‘N’ whispers of her dreams,
I ignore what she said,
She takes my head and screams.

My love she’s a broken mirror
Tell her about wealth and fame
About colors, secrets and fears
For her, it’s only and all the same ;
She beholds shades and rain
She can sneeze the moon
That folds under our train
Can make love to a spoon.

My love she lies in my room
But I’m wanted on the street
Restless then all absent and doom
There’s the world breathing upon my feet.
Sounds from the opp’site loft
And storm in my minds
I am fading off
In her delicate lines.  

My love she’s a shoeless debter
She owes nothing to no one
She only takes what pleases her
And then sails away likewise the swan.
I feed  me on herself
I’m thirsty, hungry
I wait on her bookshelf
To devour that body.

My love she loves like the fog
All around you at the shore,
Tender and faithful like the dog
She disappears ‘s soon you ask for more.
Oh! and she’s so heavy
Spread your legs more, love
Turn again on me
Let’s try with you above.

My love she’s like some sparrow
Full of feather while she sings
Softly for us and the pillow,
She’s the master of time when she swings.
The fire burns brightly
But not as my love
Although she has left me
To fly with the doves.
By your flame, by your hours
