the skies are darkening
rain is coming
sitting by an open window
my heart is drumming
wanting to burst forth
with something
i guess i want to have a dream
just don't know what it is
and i am not who i want to be
just a child whose mother says
things will be better at eighteen
there you were
looking out the car window
i could tell you were bored
or maybe it was just scared
and i knew i had to love you
more than i ever had
skies full of kites with streamers
hold on tight dreamers
to all that your heart desires
it's the glitter in the dark
the sliver of moon we can see
through very thick branches
i guess i want to have a dream
just don't know what it is
and i am not who i want to be
just a child whose mother says
things will be better at eighteen
Cord Around My Finger
no one is here now
i find myself all alone now
shoulders hunch down
when you're not around
finally these songs
whose lyrics you bled through
i can now listen to
and they're no longer about you
driving down the street
my head will no longer turn
to that place we once did meet
i'll never forget but i let go
when love dies
so many things become ghosts
when love dies
i can start to begin to hope
i find myself all alone now
shoulders hunch down
when you're not around
finally these songs
whose lyrics you bled through
i can now listen to
and they're no longer about you
driving down the street
my head will no longer turn
to that place we once did meet
i'll never forget but i let go
when love dies
so many things become ghosts
when love dies
i can start to begin to hope
You Can Have My Soul
eagle vs raven i was flying along
clipped my wings and began to descend
sky and floor blur dizzy and lost
in forest of thoughts unable to fly
i see the ground spinning
falling but too busy thinking
cannot spread my wings this time
the witching wood all around
magic glowed colors from the ground
whatever promises we make today
will mean nothing this time tomorrow
lion vs lamb always in the end
love's truth is none for it lies
by the hand that holds the apple
scared of a future without you in it
i see the world spinning
your memory comes in situations
when most painful to think of you
the stars cross without our names
destinies unfold never to be the same
imagine two ships crashing at sea
i see a rocky shoreline coming at me
clipped my wings and began to descend
sky and floor blur dizzy and lost
in forest of thoughts unable to fly
i see the ground spinning
falling but too busy thinking
cannot spread my wings this time
the witching wood all around
magic glowed colors from the ground
whatever promises we make today
will mean nothing this time tomorrow
lion vs lamb always in the end
love's truth is none for it lies
by the hand that holds the apple
scared of a future without you in it
i see the world spinning
your memory comes in situations
when most painful to think of you
the stars cross without our names
destinies unfold never to be the same
imagine two ships crashing at sea
i see a rocky shoreline coming at me
There is a castle down the block
thirty years ago to this day
a man fell hurting his head
some said he was never the same
finally even his wife had left
spending time under the sun
on outside walls putting stucco
neighbors shook their heads
until he revealed his castle
trumpets blared some early AM
welcoming all to the coronation
most arrived mad and unpleasant
but the king had one beheaded
next came a moat then those sharks
this was of course all imaginary
but defending the castle he did
til he died just sad and lonely.

my love
she wears her eyes full of wonder
as city streets turned into trees
the sky grows on you in open road
we're becoming one with the breeze
listening to nirvana glad to be alive
you make me want to kiss the ground
suddenly the deer that were hidden
have now begun to appear all around
we stop the car by some huge hill
get out running to climb up laughing
crystal clear skies we're out the city
all these lost years we're finally catching
like butterflies of your youth
like dragonflies on your hand
she brings flowers to the grave
and suddenly I'm alive and can understand
your love

The Public House: First Submission
Kate's lonely fate
Across the balcony in Room 208
Lives a lovely girl named Kate
She has two cats and a date
Telling them bye as she runs late
Out the door one slipped away
Her house empty until the next day
On her return she feeds the cats
She cuts her self just to relax
Hoping one day to not come back
To this house where something lacks

Moon Friends
with Mickey Mouse and E.T.
we can fly and be free
on the moon we can jump
into another galaxy
you went to the dark side
and we will always be waiting
with those who will be friends
on the light side of the moon
we can fly and be free
on the moon we can jump
into another galaxy
you went to the dark side
and we will always be waiting
with those who will be friends
on the light side of the moon
We stepped in a flower circle
so busy looking at each other
the butterflies began to dance
you begin to spin in delight
with your whole body angled
from turned neck to ankle
as if twisted for flight
your eyes look far beyond
the edges of the Universe
and we hope our rockets
will take us beyond the stars
the butterflies began to dance
you begin to spin in delight
with your whole body angled

Someone snuck dream dust in my juice
i almost forgot
until you crept up on
me
oh happiness
how did you get so far
worry me
my mouth
is suddenly full
of joy come back to me
my eyes
feel so loose in my head
they only look up to the stars
clap
if you know the words
to the song of life and its melody
sing
all alone or with family
we are related to the trees and bees
and animals
inside of me
return to become children of this world
until you crept up on
me
oh happiness
how did you get so far
worry me
my mouth
is suddenly full
of joy come back to me
my eyes
feel so loose in my head
they only look up to the stars

What do red doors in movies mean?
and when the dead return to us
why do they always come in groups?
except when you came it was quite alone
fires in rome
burned down my childhood home
i hope they play the fiddle at my funeral too
death can seem such a sweet release
but none of us truly know
recycle my heart it is biodegradable
we cannot stop the snows from melting
as much as their coming too
but we can celebrate all with joy
now these stairs some call life
will you walk down with me?
'cause there's a dragon in the basement
monsters down the hallway
and who knows what is outside the house
but i will open up my window
in the middle of the night
and welcome you to my heart
we may not live but die in the dark
so if you see me walking down the road
with death at my side just let it go
this is how it is supposed to be
why do they always come in groups?

Unexplained Romance
You are so new
i want to know about you

oh my whatsoever shall i do
with you
your laughter
sweet burning incense
the air is so alive
from the back of your throat
words drip
your laughter
takes me rising in the sky
lucy i'm so high
lifting your shift a bit
the magnets
stick to your skin
i so want to get in
+ + + + + + + + +
will we stick
or repel oh yes do tell
about your experience
acting like skeptics
deep down we believed
at least
i was not the only one
to see
you turning on the stars
that were not there before
dancing alone
but a shadow person
is there with you
the flowers had died
and you held and believed
roses blooming
long after harvest tide
please don't die
+++++++++
emergency waiting rooms
are just so small
i cannot believe
this is where my world ends
all in you my friend
until the doctors

guilty beyond doubt
the smile inside
as you appeared by my side
no need to explain
i am dying tomorrow
to be with you
no need hun
you also died so long past.

Paradise is nothing but sand
in my soul
still, still waters run deep
a kingdom
lies somewhere buried beneath
a king
holds court among empty gardens
contemplating
the night he fell to sunken shores
two ships passing
waves came crashing on those on deck
down below a queen
her eyes forests of true green
from the land of illyria
her heart as pure as her hair silken
missing soul return
exhale and feel your spirit rise
breathe in this world
exhaling again my insides soar
in my heart
raging waters rush, rush
lost at sea
truly confused without compass
pray to you i pray to god
i just thought?
we still crashed
i guess love we all forgot
two ships crashing
the jolly roger tattered on high
what was it all for?
such a romantic war
over before it began
alone now here in my garden of sand
still, still waters run deep
a kingdom
lies somewhere buried beneath
a king
holds court among empty gardens
contemplating
the night he fell to sunken shores
two ships passing
waves came crashing on those on deck
down below a queen
her eyes forests of true green
from the land of illyria
her heart as pure as her hair silken
missing soul return
exhale and feel your spirit rise
breathe in this world
exhaling again my insides soar
in my heart
raging waters rush, rush

truly confused without compass
pray to you i pray to god

we still crashed
i guess love we all forgot
two ships crashing
the jolly roger tattered on high
what was it all for?
such a romantic war
