how far out can I get
how peculiar can I be
if I'm wild and weird
would that be okay
with thee

could my strangeness
frighten you away
if I'm odd and off beat
would my freakish manner
knock you off your feet
and cause you to sway

or would you realize
how unique, how rare
how magnificent I am
and wish for me to
always be here
to your there

if we watch the day end together
as the colors of dusk surround
    being attached by the night
     as we walk through town
          we will talk of life
             sit by the lake
           smile as we wait
                   for the
                    dawn

I'm just so dazed
am foggy hazed
what did I miss
what was the gist

Being confused
my senses used
first I must find
my peace of mind

I float adrift
my thoughts come swift
I'm smart enough
I know love's rough

I will reflect
then I suspect
all will become clear
onward I shall steer

when my voice
can no longer
be remembered

when the feel
of my touch
has vanished
from your memory

when you cannot
recall the joy
or bittersweet
pain we shared

then that will be
when you have
broken the obsession
that is "US"

I can't remember
why I'm here
I only know
my heart lay
broken on this floor
...shredded...
... shattered...
never to be
the same again
there is no
repair for this

as I travel into time
I have the chance
to relive this day anew

hours erased from my past
actions undone and
words were never spoken

what if those moments
were precious
never could they
be repeated
what then is my cost
of their loss...

so I travel out of time
trying to find the minutes
to capture the thoughts
that once were

by days end
what I knew was
that time never stands alone
future is always
holding its hand

LOVE is a word
LOVE is a touch
LOVE is a truth
LOVE is a sound
LOVE is a look
when made in full round
then LOVE is grace

LOVE is so deep
maybe risk that leap
LOVE is a thought
one moment caught
LOVE is a need
when all chains are freed
