Come Back

What did these women do
Where did your gentle go
How are your feelings true
When you've hit the bottom low

Do you even feel me
Are memories all you've got
Our rooted family tree
Should supply the lesson taught

It's time to heal your clot
Let the pieces fall apart
Come back to our sacred spot
Come back and give your heart.

Sandpaper

Roughness consumes you
Darkness that confides
Deeper secrets leave a clue
Share your other side

I know you're still there
But layers of gray hide
Eyes lock longing to bare
The past is mortal to collide

Confessions slowly leak
Futures unfold a windy ride
Hazy glass seemed so bleak
Rip curl waters bring the tide.

Unsolved

Cast your line
Bring me in
Drink my wine
Eat my sin
Find the bliss
Swim too deep
Simple in kiss
Willows that weep
Unsolved desire
Wrapped in dark
Set me on fire
Body left stark.

Practicality

A coffee laden buzz drips slow
Cigarettes take me to a deeper low
Ink runs quick to set the flow
Confusion speaks fluid in tow

Your eyes set my core on fire
Your words bring me to inspire
Are your intentions to simply tire
Thoughtless actions for acquire

Do you want me now that you knew
A heart that falters and often flew
Actions speak not certainly new
Two on your line and you still do

Words spoken can't be taken back
I've said my piece and laid the track
Take them seriously, hold the slack
Find what you need to fill the crack

I'll remain a mystery to you
Tenderize my heart but please don't chew
Steer your boat and man the crew
Decide your fate, intend to be true.

Magnets

Metal clings to metal
Like flowers to a petal
Unwilling to settle

Sparks light the fire
Of a heart for hire
Beware submissive liar

Eyes lock on glances
Rhythm's forbidden dances
Seeking for the chances

Soothing waves of a womb
Untold secrets swirl and loom
Escaping their darkened tomb

I pray to the skies
My time to arise
And let go of these ties.

Montana

You drive me crazy
You drive me sane
My sight goes hazy
You drug my vein

I feel your lips
I feel your soul
You kiss my hips
You fill me full

You touch my face
You touch my mind
I'm in your trace
I'm in your bind.

Garage Sale

Why when it all falls apart
Do you still need to crush my heart

Making money spin a web so tight
Putting evil spirits out to fight

Babies trapped by confusing word
Anger and spite is all that's heard

Why is it you can't let me go
When the end is here and we both know

A stagnant love knocks down the door
A tear drop falls and hits the floor

You hug me close and whisper low
Our love's a dream on paths that flow

Release this bond and hold it dear
Release my love, embrace your fear

It all fell apart in the blink of an eye
Release my love and let me fly.

Unheard

Pushing everything said away
Not allowing yourself to think
It won't make my pain stray
These words won't drown and sink

It isn't okay today
These feelings are still here
Because you didn't say
I need you to be near

Is this how you deal
Magically its solved
I am completely real
You need to be involved

You abandoned my words
You burned my heart
You left...being unheard
and tore my core apart.

Taunt

Avoid a look in your eyes
Lost in this pool of bliss
My heart always defies
A lover's tempting kiss

I need this not to end
I need to feel the want
And yet I still defend
A lingering song to taunt

The One handed to me
The One walked into my life
Yet you're trying to set me free
You're trying to take my strife

This is all my pain
It tastes my body whole
Give into the sweet strain
It completes my aching soul.

Jagged Taurean Bull

Temporarily out of service
Dares laid out to explore
Essentially indulge in bliss
Searching for the closed door

Left behind dwelling on
Thoughts float in air
Awaiting new hope dawn
Wishing I didn't care

Nothing would ever come
Similarities repelled the chance
That's enough for some
My heart needs to dance

He does that to me
A look says it all
He can set me free
Can't help but fall.

Melt

Her fire can lick his blood

And change teh concrete into mud

Boiling over with poison urge

Limbs ache and slowly merge.

Him

Unraveling desire
questionable doubt
passionate fire
unreliable drought
If equal parts can not be
let the equally loved be me.

The Grapevine

Restless beats at the door
eyes of the dark
souls of the poor

Markings on the sacred wall
Chauncey glass
A sodden call

You are a lock
I am the key
You are my vine
I am the tree

Sparks of a spirit
Clothes for the soul
I am immortal
You just burn coal

Eyes of the accused
Question the unknown
Feathers of a legend
Now seem all alone

Thoughts remain still
Reversed in a motion
Rumors of the cross
Let's create a potion.

December

Twisted words and rumpled sheets
Hidden tears and lost defeats
Outstretched leaps pray for hope
Undying affection thirsts to cope
Phrases contrived in fevered moans
Musical secrets in amber tones
Methodical waves of champagne envy
Lyrics swell insane within me
You're on this road of hungering success
Cleverly committed to nothing less
Love's lingering finger tips burn
My aching lips will never learn.

Lord I ask

Lord, I ask why
You answer believe
Why did you die
Its so hard to conceive
Lord, I ask how
You answer with love
I understand now
Wings soar above
Lord, I ask when
You answer in time
Soothe wounded men
Golden wings chime
Lord, I ask where
You answer right here
This love is unfair
Search for the cure
Lord, I ask who
You answer you know
Lord, what should I do
You answer let go.

Hopper

A cafe scene is set
Two lovers appear near
There's no sign of regret
But subtle signs of fear

Everything is right
Even all the wrongs
What's holding on so tight
Does either hand belong

There's a mystery in the air
Its left unsolved so far
He can't bare to stare
We haven't set the bar

The cafe lights have dimmed
Secrets still afloat
The night quickly trimmed
Anything left to quote.

Merge

I feel a little wreck less
Running down the checklist
What's wrong and what's right
Hope soars through the night

Step out of your blind spot
Read the lessons taught
Rear views mean too late
Side mirrors appear close fate

Unclear expressions read
Lyrics from your mouth seed
What is it you feel
Was anything really real

You're so scared to fall
Off that cracked glass wall
I see right through your smile
Merge into this for awhile.

Font

We live with our flaws
We make our path
Awaiting the applause
Assuming the wrath

We choose our truth
We speak our mind
Bluntness is uncouth
Searching to find

Memories set the font
Words on a page
Lingering fingers taunt
Filled with love and rage.

Thirst

What is this need I need
What is this feeling I feel
Why do we have to feed
Why do we want to seal
I feel so tongue tied
Every time I'm at your center
Has no one every lied
Or ever tired to enter
What is this wall you build
What is this clock ticking
Why do you need to be filled
With what is clicking
Why can't I breathe
When you don't say
Why can't I sheath
When its not ok
I crumble so easy
Yet show no mercy
Insides become queasy
You leave me thirsty.

Flow

You say honesty is your game

Written throughout your name

But where's the this truth

Actions are so uncouth

All I want to know

Is where is your flow

Do you have any room

For your heart to consume

Your eyes burn through me

You're the one who knew

I've fallen from the start

But again taste the tart

Everything fits like a glove

Something sent from above

How did you become you

What makes you so true

I blame you for my jump

For this throat lump

I'm a natural being

Who is completely seeing

Where is your flow

What don't you know

I'm lifted beyond this all

And yet all I do is fall
