Strangers

a stranger in time, meets the world
through eyes seeking, in the years of a rhyme
a dance that has been spent
seven past seven, a million other
for a reason left unsaid
once, in the day i spoke a truth
in the darkness, before the pain of my youth
in a death, in a cry, a hundred others
i found myself alive
in the days before my sleep
endless, eternal, waiting for the light
to come wake me from this dream
i walked forever, in the weight of the hour
spinning, dreaming, thinking of you
wandering through such fascination
through beginning and of end
in these moments
time stood on its side, and was flipped over again
down the hill it rolled, it raged
the seconds coming unglued
in my head, on its end
just to see your face again
from in the flower, the birth of spring
of reason, in the hour
i saw it all waiting for me
as i came down tumbling all over again
in the seconds, in the world
melting in the warmth of my words
as the sun came out again to greet me
with the memory of how it was
when this dream had just begun to see
life past seven, and the strangers we were destined to be

Again

what beauty says to me
when the world is cold, and the miles in my heart
are spilled upon the road ahead, without a word
in the endless searches, that all have gone
yet somehow, when all is found, i find
the romance, is wrong
and there is nothing left to say, but witness
the events unfold, before my very eyes
if i were a bystander, to a dream, inside a world
i see all that is in me, beside me
the colors, the shapes
the twists and turns of a story untold
i see it all, live it all, as a curse to a witness
in the birth of madness itself, nothing to do
but watch the days, the years, unable to change
the fate of the race, that changes my heart in tune
a song of the dream, a sound in a memory
that all that is left of me, in standing here before me
a shadow, a whisper, nothing more left to give her
so i drift away, through the cracks, the creases
slipping, sliding down
falling, falling, back into the dream
down into the depths of a place where
another world begins
somewhere here, as i regain my senses
and i see someone fighting
fighting to find the moment
where it starts all over again
it is here, i see myself, fighting, just to find myself again

Amber Glow

i take the heart to wonder, the wonder in you
which falls so softly, on the ground
from the heavens to the earth
i am bound, by the color in your eyes
the truth as witness, that grows, fertile
i am alive, in the sounds of thunder
growing in the distance, electric in the air
the wild fascination, that flows through your hair
a kiss, on the weeks of waiting
wanting, to touch, by the birth of all
that inside, i am alive, to the wonder
to the feeling, that burns inside, on the days spent
dreaming of a kiss, on the lips, so sweet to the taste
as the amber melts, from your eyes
tinted in the soft glow of a morning's sunrise
i walk with the day, wake to the hour that the smell of your skin
cleanses my dream, and begins to know
all in me, the waves, the minutes, that wash over us
as we are entwined in this moment, for i am you
you are me, in this embrace of ecstasy

Penetration

the penetration, through the eyes
tracing the moments that you have
come alive, in the deepest sigh
a satisfaction, wise, with a darker complexion
a hue, that rises in the night
that breaks the day, with a color
of words, unseen, in the gentle flavor
of a kiss, rosemary on the lips, that breathe
a tenderness, a forgiveness for all the pain
that was felt in a world, of dream
now all, coalesces, combined, in the blue of a midnight sky
i drive myself through, the uncertain world, that is so new
with the fleeting moment, that grips me now
the color in your eyes, a ocean of tides
crashing down, in the waves that soothe
undulate, and pull me down to the bottom
then bring me back up to the top, in f flood
a rush to the heart, for the air, it is the air
i need to breathe, in the world, that escapes me now
as you leave this place, this truth behind, the color of your heart
speaks its mind, and i see forever, for a moment
here, in the penetrating stare, when i look into your eyes

Only in the Night

it is only by the night that i say to you now
with all the words that have been stolen from the day
let the pain, come slowly, then drift away
leave me here, naked, alone
in the midst of twilight, falling
down, i want to know just where i belong
in this night, on this night
where i wander through, the memories of you
hidden in the stars, a world that has gone, too far away
for me to reach, here out, drifting on my own
in the streets, walking, in the paths, talking
to no one, to everyone, to anyone that passed on by
as i stroll this this night, it is only the words
that i have to say, that will make you come back one day
see me, hold me, speak to me again
as the world spins, i know not where the day begins
to wipe the darkness from my sight
to wash the sadness in the light
and give me new life to say, to find these words
that will bring back the day, from this night i see in you
only the words i say, will speak the truth i knew
when i looked into your eyes, somewhere, in the cradle of this night
