Our Dance
Posted on | January 22, 2006 | No Comments
I’ve come this far dancing with my partner
Swinging circles through hearts simple harmony
Two stepping into life’s four count beat
Underneath a starry nights ballroom floor
Arms clinging to a touch and a memory
Of dances in the past, hoping this will last
hoping they will forever last
A whisper in your ear, nibbling on your neck
A warming glow, my hands in your hair
All around us, time slows,
the room begins to fade
The song mirrors the stars in our eyes
The rhythm matches the strum in our hearts
There is no one else anymore, not a one
I feel it now, I know it now
Like pieces of a puzzle, we move together
Making the pictures of our dreams come to life
This is the time, this is the place

Reach The Sky

Grey winds blow heavy through shattered limbs
Branches fall to barren grounds
Dusty earth where life no longer pounds
Seedlings of despair perish as hope dims
Withering shells of hollow tubes of bark
A thousand rings of red reached the sky
Minutes of anger shred the pulp with a lie
Heights of magic crashing down desolate and stark
Fertile protection of canopies green fades away
A blanket of needles, all that remains of historic might
Tight forgiving spaces widen with gradual decay
A desolate land where the bleak rise with the light

Just A Man

Love floats like hope in a bottle
Trying to seal it in forever tight
Futility is the struggle of just a man
Never let in disappear, never if you can
Running down a dream, just a circle
Looking back to see where the future goes
Just a man, stumbles with each step
Reaching for the bottle they once kept
With each stride trust bring new shapes
Through watery eyes the darkness fades
Unity is the circle leading to the soul
Just a man, struggling to be whole

Forever
Posted on | January 10, 2006 | No Comments
Not talkin’ ’bout a year
no not three or four
I don’t want that kind of forever
in my life anymore
forever always seems
to be around when it begins
but forever never never seems
to be around when it ends
so give me your forever
please your forever
not a day less will do
from you
People spend so much time
every single day
runnin’ ’round all over town
givin’ their forever away
but no not me
I won’t let my forever roam
and now I hope I can find
my forever a home
so give me your forever
please your forever
not a day less will do
from you
Like a handless clock with numbers
an infinite of time
no not the forever found
only in the mind
forever always seems
to be around when it begin
but forever never seems
to be around when it ends
so give me your forever
please your forever
not a day less will do
from you

You and Me
Posted on | January 9, 2006 | No Comments
What day is it? And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive
I can’t keep up and I can’t back down
I’ve been losing so much time
Cause it’s you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it’s you and me and all of the people
And I don’t know why, I can’t keep my eyes off of you
All of the things that I want to say just aren’t coming out right
I’m tripping on words
You’ve got my head spinning
I don’t know where to go from here
Cause it’s you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it’s you and me and all of the people
And I don’t know why, I can’t keep my eyes off of you
There’s something about you now
I can’t quite figure out
Everything she does is beautiful
Everything she does is right
Cause it’s you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it’s you and me and all of the people
And I don’t know why, I can’t keep my eyes off of you
and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it’s you and me and all of the people
And I don’t know why, I can’t keep my eyes off of you
What day is it?
And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive
