I lock myself in a room with these feelings,
until the rational suffocates the irrational.
as i rise to my feet to unlock the door,
i slip and hit my head on the tear drenched floor.
my dreams are where i thrive.
in my dreams i hope to die.
in my dreams are where you and I can be.
where we can be...

The sun rises from your parted lips.
A delicate breeze,
Warmed by the sun,
Joins your breath for a graceful dance on the contours of my face.

Though admonished against it,
My eyes remain open.
Darkness has no place between yours and mine.
To be blinded by beauty is something divine.

If the earth stopped spinning,
If the universe stopped expanding,
If time stood still,
I would tie myself to a silent moment with you.
Never to worry about the future,
And forever thankful that the past has brought us here.

those who say they need nothing, need the most.
if only she realized...

when she looks at me i am amazed and frightened all at once.
of anything in the world, it is me upon which her eyes gaze.
i know soon they must leave, for she is a wanderer, or so she says.

but, what does she seek?
i could ask the same of the ball on a roulette wheel.
it searches as well, and just as deliberate.
but, before settling, it's sure to bounce.
the number is unknown.

i'm fucking scared!
i'm pissed at myself for being so weak, so fast.
i don't know how much to risk.
i don't know if i'm realistic.
i don't feel like a man.
i don't have the energy to be poetic.

those who aren't afraid to admit they're weak, are the strongest.
if only i realized...

whatever...

If you and I dissolved into nature,
I'd be the sand, and you'd be the sea.
A blink of your eye washes over me.
Your wet kisses soothe me.
The weight of your heart beats against me.
Your soul stays with me as a thin shimmering promise,
And with each ebb and flow, I remain.

Gravity

I met a girl not of this world

And she sends me to the moon

When my sun subsides

She knows just how to send me right back home

She shines for me

I can see her best at night

Never want to say good night

And I know she wants me to see

I know her world is bigger than mine

So the gravity pulls her down

Her direction is unknown

As she spins around

She keeps spinning...

Wanting to orbit something real

Does she feel as much as me

When she's fighting gravity all the time

Hang on to me and feel

The subtle simple flame of breath upon your face

You're starting to see

That scattered light shines differently

From you to me, the colors change from red to green

I long to see that the space between us dissipates

At escape velocity

Just try to break free to me

Now open up your eyes

There's so much for you to see

You've got to save me

Because you're stronger than me now

But I know on this earth you're like me­

You want to feel the simple things

Glad I could save you from your gravity

Everything can now flow free

Now our love is just the same

Like the speed of light it can't change

The sun aligns with you and me

While the universe keeps changing

Fingertips

God I miss your face
to feel it with my fingertips
I'd give up everything that I have
If I could feel it still

I close my eyes and try to breathe
The air is thin and cold
I make myself believe
There's meaning in the words that I say

Just let yourself love me again
and you'll see
that time can make it right
if you fight for me, I'll fight for you
and never let you go
I'll hold you tight...so tight

Nothing left to lose
My pride turned to humility
All I have is honesty with you
Forgiveness sets me free

I close my eyes and try to breathe
The air is thin and freezing
I make myself believe
there's meaning in the words that I say

But all the words in me...can't explain how I feel

Just let yourself love me again
and you'll see
that time can make it right
If you try again
I'll show you that I'll never let you go
I'll hold you tight....so tight

I know that I loved you
Love me still
I know that I hurt you
Just love me still
Oh God I want to marry you
Love me still
I want to spend the rest of my life loving you
love me still....
