She took my hand, we ran

She took my hand, we ran
Across fields of clover and mint
Toward the strawberry sky
Falling fast behind the trees
We fell at the edge of our lives
And sat for an eternity
Laughing about how much we cry
More stars in her eyes than in the sky
She threw her head back to scream
But did not make a sound
Shook the blonde out of her hair Time turned and ran

I miss your lips touching mine

I miss your lips touching mine
Your tongue gently licking
Slowly
The soft breath that blows into my mouth
The quiet purr of desire
Long slow kiss
So long ago

Through raging storm our ship has slipped

Through raging storm our ship has slipped
It's sails torn, rigging ripped
The deck awash with
With blood and tears
All is lost to oceans depths
The waves lash out with no repent
Grey green ocean malcontent
Splinter timbers broad and sound
Til not a nail is left unbent
Are any hands there left to fight
To bring them into far off bight
With white sand beaches bathed in light
And peaceful sleep is found
See there crawls on knee and hand
Two battered bodies towards the land
Exhausted try to understand
The storm that they've been through
Awake to find the tempest done
Burning in the morning sun
Love so strong won't be undone
By lifes simple storm
New life building now can start
With you closest to my heart
Never again to be apart
Love renewed by stormy seas

If ever your pain was so deep

If ever your pain was so deep
I'd pull from the spoon to make you sleep
Stab you in a pulsing vein
To take away the crushing pain
With one last kiss upon your lips
I'd breathe in deep as your life slips
Suck your grief into my soul
So you could sleep my love console
Forever keep your pain with me
So you could rest eternally
And all the days in peace you'd lay
As I lived mine in shades of black and grey

Sunday smile gone for a while

Sunday smile gone for a while
Wait in the back for me
Keep your head down
Don't look at the clowns
Save a space for me
Lock away the starry eyes
Don't let them see
Just another face in the crowd
When you look at me
Happy weighs so heavily
If you can't set it free
Swallow your feelings
Wash them down with tears
Swallow your feelings
Wash them down with tears
Another holiday passes by
An empty box in bows
Flowers thrown from the window
Dry on the side of the road
Forgotten writings in the glove box
No one will ever know
Steal a moment with some coffee
But it never goes slow
Happy weighs so heavily
If it's not allowed to flow
Swallow your feelings
Wash them down with tears
Swallow your feelings
Wash them down with tears

Tiny cup of Turkish tea

Tiny cup of Turkish tea
Bubble bubble boil for me
Boil away impurity
Take me where I need to be
Drop a bit of fluffy snow
Mix you now it's time to go
Sip you up you gently flow
That peaceful warmth you start to sow

All my loves

All my loves
All my regret
Every tear I've ever shed
I am the sum of all I've seen
Of all that I have said
All my lies
All my fears
Personas I have shed
Loves that once had meant so much
Before me now lie spread
All my joy
All my dreams
Paths I took instead
Chew me from the inside out
Are with me til I'm dead

The comfort of friendship

The comfort of friendship
Eases the soul
Like the first warm day
After a long winters cold
No work
Nothing owed
Leave your obligations home
Bring your smile
Your wit
Your woes
While I jot down
This bit of prose

Like leaves from a tree

Like leaves from a tree
We are blown into the sea
Carried by waves both fierce and calm
Until we meet
And caught in an eddy
We dance for a moment
Until the currents of our lives
Take us floating again
Into the endless ocean
Where we drift apart
Farther and farther
Until only the horizon remains

How do the waves draw you down

How do the waves draw you down
To walk across the sand
Watch their whitecaps break and crash
And make you feel a man
Is it the thunderous roar you seek
Or feeling all alone
Or do you wish to walk right in and sink into the foam

When two paths meet in a hectic wood

When two paths meet in a hectic wood
Forever
They become one
They may split
To skirt rocky terrain
One high
One low
Their courses parallel each other
Only to merge again
And dance
In the graceful fields of age

I'm the king of the junkies

I'm the king of the junkies
I have only one queen
She's a dirty little fairy
With tattered wings
In her right hand
She holds the moon
In her left
A needle and a spoon
Heroin for my soul

Will I be remembered

Will I be remembered
By the friends that I forgot
Am I just pretending
Being something I am not
Am I all I can be
Are we all I can be
Is life all just dreaming
Is life all just dreaming
City of graves rising into the sky
Headstone building mile high
Forgot to breathe while I cried
Forgot to live
I forgot to die
Will I be remembered
For being something I am not
Am I just pretending
To have the friends that I have got
Are you all I can be
You are all I can see
I am only screaming
I am screaming
Screaming

Our bipolar opposite fatal attraction

Our bipolar opposite fatal attraction
Never ceases to cause a reaction
You're pushing I'm pulling
You're up when I'm down
I'm north you're south
I smile you frown
So opposite in fact that we're
One in the same
No ones as good at playing this game
Youre in when I'm out
I'm quiet you shout
I bend while you're breaking
You're calm when I'm shaking
A perfect connection with no plan of action
Our bipolar opposite fatal attraction
