Looking Back And Looking In

I felt the shards glisten inside of me 
And it was winter witheringly
As I watched the tide recede
With everything that I believe
In and as heretofore
Why is it that the ones we adore
Are the ones who punish us
In lines we cross and broken trust
They try to reign me in
But it’s like a corset and I cannot win
Then I happened upon him
After our meeting on the sly
Far past the place where we both die
By a strike on our homes
And we are both alone
In the darkness and the grass
Moonlight that doesn’t seem to pass
Into the sun
And he is the one
That I know
But he doesn’t like me so
I let it go
And shut him out of my sky
But we both know it is a lie
Because he is all of my stars
I see them through my prison bars
And the walls may be bricks and mortar
And if I had a quarter
For every time you said you’d be there
I could have found someone who’d really care
But anyway
Leave that with the hay
They raked in the summer weather
And the heather
May induce sleep
But you’re a promise I want to keep
Deep within my heart and soul
So let the waves roll
And crash upon grains of sand
You will forever hold my hand
In my heart of hearts
It’s in the end the beginning starts

Matter and Form

I move with the sea
In tides I roll
Everybody compresses
Their immortal soul
Down into matter
Down into form
Down into just
Keeping the bed warm
And I don’t have the answer
Don’t know the explain
Why the wind comes in sheets
And the air blows in rain
But I know this much
Though I don’t as much say
That life comes in waves
To keep things at bay
