Wonder
Your angel eyes, disgustingly wise
Leads the men, the guys, to sympathize
Your cause, your crew, deceptively true
The men, they rue when the discovery is new
To know your faking and everyone making
Over coals raking, in your eyes shaking
In awe and wonder, over a-sunder
Never a blunder through lightning and thunder

Two Steps Back

I can't seem to see what's going on
What's going on?
Take two steps back before you come any closer
How do I know where you leading me?
Your hand is over my eyes
Despite all my wishes I follow where it goes

My vision is hazy even when you're not near
I've lost my way I don't know how to see clear
Step back before you come to me
Step back and teach me how to see

I will never understand how to resist
How do I resist?
You're up in my face and all I can see
Your face, your lips, your mouth and tongue
I loose my mission, lost in your skin
How can I remember when
You've only taught me to forget

My days are dizzy even when you're not near
I've lost my place I can't get in the clear
Step back before you come to me
Step back and teach me how to see

Step back, baby, two steps, please
Step back before you come to me
You're closer than I thought you'd be
Step back and teach me how to see

Step back, put my mind at ease
Step back before you come to me
I'm lost, what became of me
Step back, teach me how to see

Now less than a week remaining

I've now less than a week remaining
The sunny days have ceased of raining
Even our sweet southern skies grow in cheer
With the though of you ever near
As the thoughts of you ebb and flow

Of Long Distance Lovers

Six thousand miles away, but ever close to me
Not talking for months, but together every night
In each others arms, in our hearts and in our minds
Wondering what the truth will eventually be

19, 18, 17; I count down the days
Ripping the numbers off the wall calander
Until the day you return is upon us, at hand
And with each day, I miss you more

We rush together as we fall apart
Knowing that distance has changed us
Never wanting to leave the memory
That has left with the last hint of snow

The St. Patrick's Day Parade

The other day, at the fair and parade
Something honest between us was made
I know it to be pure and true
If only I could show you...
But, the silver cloud lining
Is a truth lying
Flowering to failing
Leaving our tears trailing

Burning Hearts

Burning hearts
Smoking and steaming up
Glazing your windows shut
Prevents you from seeing the best
Lends to forgetting all the rest

Our backs to the sun

What do I want? What do I need?
Mostly where can I find it?
The summer sun tells me
Another year is past

Leaves will fall as flowers wilt
Sweet breezes now chilling
The sadest part is that
The blue skies won't last, can never last

So cold as the sun fades away
So cold, as I watch you walk away
You ride in with the flowers
And out on the tails of wind
So cold, you never wanted it
So cold

Where is my sweetness?
Where is my joy?
Girl, you always leave me with the sun
Why is my rose-tinted world dark and gray

Showing face with the summer
Then putting your back to the sun
Though my dependency is strong
The brightness in this world will never stay

So cold as the sun fades away
So cold, as I watch you walk away
You ride in with the flowers
And out on the tails of wind
So cold, you never wanted it
So cold

Girl of Summer
Dasies in her long loose hair
Daffodils in her hands
Her perfume is of wilde flowers
And sweet summer breezes
Barefoot in the fresh cut grass
Running through warm summer storms
Traipsing through the park
Her messy hair perfectly framing her face
The sun reflecting off of every ince
Of her glowing soft skin
Clean and fresh, sweet and smooth
She is the girl of summer

My Strongest Desire
Here at the train station,
Surrounded by peers.
Destination: unknown
Some are so sure
Their train will not stop,
But when forced to change cars
They may find themselves left.
Some have been waiting at the station
For months, years, decades.
Some eveuntually leave,
Realizing that to board a train
Is not in their cards.
Some, many in fact,
Will reach their destination.
My strongest desire is to find the right ticket;
The right train to the right destination.

Truth?
What is right? What is true?
It varies from person to person
Truth, some believe, is black and white
Falsehoods of ignorance! Truth is gray!
All the truths I've been used to
Are now hazily fading to gray!
I hardly know what I want any longer
What is the cost of happiness?
My two quests, side by side
Truth and happiness
While I strive to reflect and accept
The beauty within and around
Inside out, the truth is painfully sharp
And the elusive search for love
Seemingly never ending

Por Miguel

My thoughts wander almost constantly
To work, to play, to church, to Spain
You'll be home soon, and how will it be then?
Will I just prop my legs on yours
Touching your arm every time I make a point
While you gaze at me with those deep, ever-loving eyes
Can't you just feel the tension?
Sometimes I think I miss you so much
Some days I don't think of you at all
But as the day you come home grows closer
I miss you deep in my heart

Find me tangled inside your head
A messy confusion beside you in bed
Climbing and clinging to your beauty and truth
Embracing your wisdom, rejecting youth
Show me mercy! Kiss my face
Put me down, put me in my place

Was:
Find me tangled in your bed
A messy confusion inside your head

I seem to like the revision better... if you prefer the original, let me know...

Up On The Mountain

Here, so quiet. So peacefully serene
where the water runs frothy, chilly, clean
With the breezes blowing, dancing with trees
The flowers blooming adds color to green
Dressing in yellow, lavender and white
Such beauty! at this magnificent site
Here, the world is pure. So lovely and free
Might I not stay? Here I can truly be...
Soon, we shall part. I'll return to the ground
I must fine the people! Embrace their sound!
So embrace their soul, their beauty and youth
To learn from them, Learn their ways and their truths
Retaining the joy as in a fountain
The joy I first found up on the mountain.

The One
Come out and play?
We'll run away
To our hide away

Biding our time
Until you can be mine
Without crossing the line

We'll fly away far
Up to the stars
In my space age car

Gas it, baby! Gas it!
We've almost nearly passed it
Hold on and try to last it

I never want to miss you
Babe, I've just got to kiss you
And never leave this bliss you

Give me daily
It's growing stronger lately
It makes me think that maybe

You're the one worth living for
Worth dying for
And, baby, you're the one worth fighting for

Baby, you're the one.
I know it! You're the one

For Christopher

Seems you've forgotten about love
Oh, love, love, love
The truth and beauty there within
How to show you?
How to let you know, dear

You've lost the way of life
Oh, of life, life, life
The fullness to be experienced
How to bring you back?
How to let you in, dear?

Darling, we cannot forget
What was and will be
There will be no return
To the former ways
I cannot take life as it was then

Darling, know
That I have loved you
I do now love you
Darling, I will always love you

If just to be with you
To hold you and let you cry
As it never was with me
That would be enough

My love, let me show you
What I always wanted from you
The richness we lacked
Know now that I have found it
I posess the beauty!
I am within the truth!

Rush to me! Return to me
With all the eagerness
Of the rain falling to the parched earth
With all the beauty
Of the leaves as they grace the ground
With the knowledge, my dear
That I will always care for you

I don't seek your body
Or your touch of lust
I seek your mind and spirit
To fill with the passion you have lost
Or sadly, never knew

My dearest, my darling
I want the best for you
Make your decisions ever wisely

Greed

Maintaining your freedom
Respecting your life
For life, for always
Those silly law abiders...
Commend them!
Those crazy law breakers...
Amend them!

All for what? For me and you?
Nay. All this life, you know
Is driven for one reason
One purpose the same
And that reason, my dear
Is our individual gain

Truth Be Told...

Oh, Princess...
I've been dying to tell you
The truth is so cruel!
I need to be real,
But I can't see myself.

Every love I've left...
I never dreamed of letting go
Of the Shimmer after the Glow.
Staring the barrel down
Swallowing the sweet sounds
Mostly refusing to be smart
