i toss my dreams in the air
letting them fall to me as i sleep
this alternate world i prefer
except that you're ever rarely there
in that distant land
where secrets i have i keep
safe from the waiting world
and waking eyes that stare and glare
*
if i were ever to lose my way
i know that you would soon appear
with glowing eyes amidst the trees
near the shining gate you call me to
i would trust and know its real
if my heart had no trace of fear
your eyes in silver glitterance
i drift to sleep and dream of you
Shattered Faith
beliefs are so fragile
they shatter so easily
do you believe in god?
do you believe in me?
if so just wait a while
for personal tragedy
denying your own faith
attack that in others
soul smothers spirit
forgets your own mother
leaving you to fight
against spring lovers
left with barren soil
and a false start
if i began to believe
would we grow apart?
maybe i'm deceived
of all that is heart
they shatter so easily
do you believe in god?
do you believe in me?
if so just wait a while
for personal tragedy
denying your own faith
attack that in others
soul smothers spirit
forgets your own mother
leaving you to fight
against spring lovers
left with barren soil
and a false start
if i began to believe
would we grow apart?
maybe i'm deceived
of all that is heart
The last day of a white Christmas
A week in my life without you
It is doubtful you will be missed
So many shades of snow
But they all melt like our last kiss
Faded in memory of mind
Faded like these old jeans of mine
I decided to stop trying to find
Life in a glass or at the end of a line
We can run from our problems
To end up back in the same places
This should only happen to them
But sometimes we lose our own graces
This mirror makes me look ugly
With all things being equal
That is not really the true me
My mirror will now be other people
It is within you I will see myself
So sick my love of being all alone
Without you I am nothing else
Wait no more I am finally home
It is doubtful you will be missed
So many shades of snow
But they all melt like our last kiss
Faded in memory of mind
Faded like these old jeans of mine
I decided to stop trying to find
Life in a glass or at the end of a line
We can run from our problems
To end up back in the same places
This should only happen to them
But sometimes we lose our own graces
This mirror makes me look ugly
With all things being equal
That is not really the true me
My mirror will now be other people
It is within you I will see myself
So sick my love of being all alone
Without you I am nothing else
Wait no more I am finally home
The Wake
At the rosary my mind wanders to the flowers, the casket, anything but me
Not that I ever wished to be absent just that I truly did not care to see
The empty shell you left behind I had only seen you last week
These affairs are for the living and not the dead and the living now weep
It is for the ones closest to me that were closest to you that I am now here
And in the calmness I gain from channeling them I felt you stood near
You still exist, you will always be missed, I just hope you stayed for a while
The serenity spread for from the front row in your memory were laughter and smiles
Not that I ever wished to be absent just that I truly did not care to see
The empty shell you left behind I had only seen you last week
These affairs are for the living and not the dead and the living now weep
It is for the ones closest to me that were closest to you that I am now here
And in the calmness I gain from channeling them I felt you stood near
You still exist, you will always be missed, I just hope you stayed for a while
The serenity spread for from the front row in your memory were laughter and smiles
