Timeless

I never ran so far
Never ran so fast
Just to stand still
Where moments leave descriptions
In their comet tails

So run away with me
To a place where time just chills
Either pole will do
North or south, you choose
And we’ll tell everybody

Only time is on our side
Spinning around ever so slowly
We’ll wave as they go by
Now that time is on our side
This Picasso parade is
Our happy ending

Say those words again
So that I can feel my dreams
Materialize in front of me
Just like the sky becomes the air I breathe

So breathe in everything
For a second time around
Dreaming everything again
Slows this revolution down

Only time is on our side
Spinning around ever so slowly
We’ll wave as they go by
Now that time is on our side
This Picasso parade is
Our happy ending
.
.
.

For the life that I lead
And the lives I leave behind
I would give them all away
For a moment just to say that I’m sorry

.

.

.
For the life that I lead
And the lives I leave behind
I would live them all again
Forever knowing I can spin, forever

.

.

.

The beat of my heart
It ebbs and flows
To the shape of your words
And the curl of your toes

Your shadowing stares
Sing high in my mind
Silent spaces, deep-rooted
Drinking moments of sound

I could talk for an hour
I could walk for a year
Every word slowing steps
Till the steps disappear

From a distance, each step
A discretely placed line
In a parallel world
Every step misaligned

Every life has two souls
Every soul has a voice
We should sing till we’re numb
Like we’re given a choice

Looking forward I choose
Not a song of my own
But a counterpoint melody
Cadence unknown

Memories

Exploding Fairytale

The canvas' faded stares are reflections of her dreams
Colors blue, with warm hues wanting to be seen
Overflowing life-line rivers flood her hands
With strokes of fate and streaks of faith
She questions everything

I just want to know her
I just want to show her how to process all the sunlight
So everyone can breathe

What color will I be
Is reflecting me as easy
Let's get your mess all over me and rub it in

And I can't stop this from happening
Realize that the picture once drawn could be the same
If we stay in this together
There's only one way
Your love once lost is forever the love I'll give

Find what you lost in my eyes
Find what you need in my smile
Rediscover sanity held by a dreamless night
When our souls start moving faster than our lives
We'll hitch a ride on a fairytale and sail away

I just want to know her
I just want to hold her as we peel away the world
And whisk in fantasy

Disorganized and lovely
Refreshing fire glowing
This fairytale is exploding all over you
All over me

And I can't stop this from happening
Realize that the picture once torn will mend
If we stay in this together
There's only one way
Your love once lost is forever my love to give

I wish you could know me without words...
That my eyes might show you something so unfamiliar,
To make passion and curiosity plow wall to wall, clearing a path for comfort.
That a moment's touch could make your past seem misplaced.
That control wasn't lurking in the shadows.
That being myself is enough.

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....

A Soul's Recollection

Walking around for days again
I stop for a while to sleep
I wake from a dream to find myself in your arms
Familiar only to me

Am I fooling myself
Am I fooling myself
Discover again what our souls once knew
Convince yourself to believe

Tell me if this is real
Tell me if this is real
Is this only in my imagination
Tell me if this is real

Though my karma precludes my apologies
I can't find a way to make it change
All I want is another life with you
So be with me, just be with me

Together we flow through the universe
Succinctly in and out of phase
The period ends when our souls meet again
Familiar to us in our dreams

Are we fooling ourselves
Are we fooling ourselves
Discover again what our souls once believed
Let's convince ourselves to believe again

Tell me if this is real
Tell me if this is real
Is this only in my imagination
Tell me if this is real

Though my karma haunts my reveries
Time will rectify my need to change
We've waited so long for this memory
So be with me, just be with me

I've tempted fate so easily
To be with you, to sing for you
You're the only one I flow through
You're the only one who'd ever dare to move with me
