Waters Dry

from the march of the ocean, through the dance of the day
the waters are enshrined, in all the words that i say
my heart is humble, my heart full and wide
through every moment i speak, through each and every divide
in this place, i do see, the divine tide of harmony and bliss
which seeks to remove all i find, in this moment of our time
all thought and memory, the weight of pain
the failed doubt that always comes back again
when all shadows seem lost, when each moment seems blue
wrapped inside the heartache, of yesterday's youth
i cannot see, by the waters that run on edge
to the shores of morning, to the coast of another day
when happiness was a beauty, and the thoughts of you
were far, far away, but as the waters run, the colors collide
breathe deep, relax, and release a moment, as ever was a sigh
in a sound, that through the wind, carries on with me
through the cities and streets, where once i knew your name
a confluence of magic and despair, in these waters
where no one ever dares, to call out your name
or to sing the words of love ever, to you once again
it is this place where the oceans march on
the tides that side with truth, the waters that run in the youth
of days and days on end, in the hours as waves
rolling on by, past tomorrow, to a place where even truth does, run dry

One More Moment

the divinity of beauty comes to me
the warning of truce, bellies the heart
to seek meaning, from meaning not gathered in reason or experience
i wander though these walls
through the heartache and lament
from the knowing that is spent
wondering just where it is all meant to be
from a truth that i cannot see
for my heart simply wants to ride
this pulse as a dance, only to see myself neglect
the obvious identity that is written here
right before me, there is no subtle way to say
what grace from your eyes traces around all that is found
when the light races from the skies tonight
the soft moonlight glows in your smile
and all the guile, the walls built therein
simply melt away, in the thought of a day
spent with you, and as i fall back
into the trance of the heart
beating the rhymes, which now
allow me to ride the dreams all through the world
in this world, now, which seems to be, just a thought outside
the world in me, has now come alive, in my mind
my dreams, in this moment with you tonight
for the truth, in this dance of soul
i take what is given to me, the calm of peace
the warmth of the moment, though there is still a certainty
therein, which pushes the distance, back, in front of me
and though my heart does not want to see
i must force my eyes upon
as the sight in my own heart longs to remain
right here with you tonight, i must live the dreams
and taste the moment as i can, yet, when the moment brings
me back to the truth, full and bright
in my eyes tonight, i must look on
past your gaze, in my dreams tonight
seeking the wisdom no more, for all that is seen
is still left unsaid, in my heart
my world, that i lived with you, for just one night

Just This Way

to me, the world is enveloped in shades of green
the color of a morning new
wrapped in the truth i see, by the color found in you
and as i awaken, the shades i see are set in the spring of youth
a youth, a place, where my soul does wander
in the wonder, of all life's golden dream
the memory does glimmer, by all that does seem
to be revealed, in the shimmering meaning
of color and form, before my eyes, the smile
the warm laughter, of your eyes, does see in me
the beauty before the world, all is a reflection
a moment, that does surround, in the waters
of oceans green, a color that cleanses in waves of blue
to all the thoughts that hold the truth, to me, the world is
but a moment in these dreams, i have
and such in you, is your smile, the pleasant laughter
of a day come to a close, with your arms snug around me
your heart, next to me now, as we drift on, outward
by the gaze still turned inward, wrapped in one another's embrace
in the space and time of our heart's one true dream
all does seem, just as our eyes do see, to be
as the shades of green in spring's grace today
by the warmth of truth, and in a love, that always will remain
in our hearts just this way

Before Your Eyes

follow your heart to your dream
in the moment when the truth always does mean
exactly what is seen, right here, before your eyes
