I spend all of my time talking to the voice in my head Is it telepathy or resident dread And I don’t expect you to believe That to stare at the mirror is to grieve Looking at the reflection of something temporal Is it empty or I would venture full Of wit and wisdom and midnight tomes Clicking away from the habit of homes That seem to populate my tv screen Was it real or just a dream A nightmare I can wake up from The leaving of loss of everything’s gone In a moment I’m real and see inside Give up the venture capital to hide Within this little hut I’ve built Giving advice but the talking has stilled Into an ever present calm Do you read lines or just hold my palm Against yours for a moment or so A secret handshake you thought to show Me in our intimate endeavor I know I’m innocent but this is forever And I won’t paint another colour blue Over the one that came from you As the sky holds the memory of us And there’s something I implicitly trust That is between us two I had faith and it brought me you Maybe not in the way I had thought But like a soldier that’s been caught In a single glance you stare The Earth quaked as you stood there Looking past the facade It’s a moment and I want you bad To be what you’ve always been If you’re the King and I’m the Queen Can we give up the reign Coz it only brings us pain In attempting to be what we never were I wish you well for What it’s worth at any rate You looked at me And there was another state That just seemed to embrace And I find that the sight of your face Inspires prose This is me And the less travelled road
Stuff I say to you I was watching the bird and it flew Out the window from inside And this landscape can’t hide The shape of you from me I loved you so I set you free But you come back to be As constant as a northern sea In the winter of ill repute And you’re more devastating Than you are cute But I like my men like thunderclouds The rolling sound just makes me proud To be standing under a western sky And I have no fear over what will die Coz something’s not passing Constant true As I revealed myself to you In a winter past, long ago But it’s just the start Of the story, you know On this journey to forever The path winds but this endeavor Keeps sailing through the storm I would like to keep you warm
There are so many things In life that pass away Made me ask Does anything stay And I found in the dark An unbeatable light It’s shines through the veil Til everyone’s alright And it’s taking to task The body I walk Makes me speak Not merely talk And it loves and it cares But it is detached Unlocks the door Even when it’s latched It goes up and over Here and beyond Answers questions Like a dumb blonde With the smarts I looked it’s way And suddenly it starts To shine For the whole world to see Don’t you know It’s not about me But about the fabric Becoming paper thin He saw the real So I let him in
What used to seem so sure Is now disappearing over the hill Can change change me Or do I swear it never will As I hold onto who I used to be But there’s something new and I’m beginning to see The ocean is not held in a span And will I do what I can To be a modern example of what is true What’s possible for me and you As we share a world unique But I do not dare to speak My voice though it reverberate Around the hall as we equate Together with just being there I’ve learned from love and I do care Though shapeless you see Me in a way and integrity Has me burning a fuse in my mind To always be awesome and super kind And fearless with courage to bear The way the fabric tear On this dream of us I found true love and in it I trust
There’s a hundred million souls Hanging round this joint But somehow you’re the one My heart anoint And ignite like a signal fire In those days I never tire Of my rebound nature It’s not goodbye, it’s see you later And he passed like a comet across the sky Proclaiming that which will never die In a moment we are as One And he merged with the Son To shine a light so bright the sound goes deaf To all that is and isn’t left In the ashes that burn up into flame A phoenix by everything but name And he’s lovely and normal and sweet as pie And I just want him to see me cry To let him in through the facade The bulletproof and feeling bad To this garden where everything grows And there’s a flower here for you, God knows That’s been ten years in the making There are no tales worth the shaking The run away induced But you are here and I’ve deduced That everything will be okay Will you ever look at me that way Again And men Just remind me of us Our solid steel and unbreakable trust
I write my own version of epicology
It's a word I made up to describe mythology
Of the personal self so cool
Oh, the awesome that I was in school
As I danced on a cloud nine
The minute He pierced through what was mine
To reveal the ever present source
And I'm filled with remorse
That I never seem to live up to
The identical that I saw in You
As we spend our time just having a laugh
As we melt like a wall that's not gonna last
And I can't contain you in a rhyme
Except that you were outside of time
A moment, free and then to bind
We lost love to the mind
As the shackles came back to say
We don't let people go that way
But I look up and the light
Is still shining on us, alright
And I don't need to let go
Of what is inherent to me, you know
And I don't know how to unfurl
The heart that creates the girl
As a modicum to understand
You were the truth I hadn't planned
Thought I could be the solitary queen
Til the sword lanced the dream
And birthed me into real life
I like you, is that alright?
It was momentary Just a little hint of stardust As we danced to the silence of your heart And I realized we would never be apart That there’s something in your eyes It’s in the movies in disguise And I remember watching Yvaine Soar above the pain In that summer of 08 It was August and every breath that I take Informs me of something new And, honey, it was you
Now you’re far away And weaving in and out between Dancing in Some kind of dream And there are words I don’t utter But when you smile I melt like butter Into a puddle at your feet I’m still absorbed by the way a black hole will meet The light that moves to its own pulse And I must inquire does love repulse Opposite poles like two magnet shapes Did I fall in love or did I forsake
And we’re all at sea in our separate lives We do anything just to survive But I catch you catch hold of my hand Help me into a carriage I don’t understand As it takes me somewhere new There is scenery but it sings of you And the us we could be Or already are like water is free To flow through rather than under And I may have deleted your number But it’s just coz I’m defeated and going under The tidal weight of the ocean we are You caught my eye like a shooting star
Venerate the Goddess Get down on your knees Do anything I ask Or anything I please And I’ll give you the world A plethora of things Or a simple key Into the heart that sings So you can unlock The dial that keeps you closed A vault of solid steel Or concrete, God knows And I know the wealth Is not hidden behind It resides somewhere Beyond the mind And you can touch into The intimate fold Find something More precious than gold As you realise All you’ve come to be Don’t blame me now Just coz you see
There’s no way back now We’ve got to find a new way somehow To cut a swathe through the tide Really breathe while we’re alive And we may have realized That we’re all living under blue skies But we hide behind each tree we find Conceptualize it with the power of mind And search for a way to be secure But don’t you know we’re all born pure And I’m not trying to catch you out But don’t you think it’s good to doubt And question what you don’t understand The life of the free is never planned But an unfoldment in Universal degree I may be wrong but hey, that’s just me!
Living the life of a break up song And I’m like her, I can do no wrong Til I finally admit The problem is me And I thought I was Moses Parting the sea But I’m just a girl Who’s thirty two Learning to love And rely on You The God of forewarned understanding And I know my wishes can be demanding But I plead that He lets them be Bring change through the vehicle of me Let my hands be a messenger of love The descent of redemption from above As I acquiesce to His will I won’t know the answer until I live it and move my bones Give the many bread and homes
Deep in disguise I wade through the water You somebody’s son I’m the moon’s daughter And I slip sideways Out of the scene You were the best part Of my dream And I watched you watch me You took my pic You grabbed the towel And the gear stick Shook in my hand Said goodbye to Sam You said he’ll be grand And I drove you home It was just the two of us All alone And you stopped to stare I stopped the car And met you there And I wonder if I’ll ever see You looking again like that at me As I shared on a screen Some kind of light show I’d tell you the truth If you want me to, you know All the love in my heart And you were a rouge kind of dark As you let the wilderness consume I watch you from across the room
I see the I Am in every pair of eyes Once you look there’s no disguise And I venerate the Holy One The ocean of which cannot be undone And the chains fall like shackles on the floor As I make way for what I adore The riverbeds flow toward the sea So it is with the Guru and me The spaciousness nothing can contain The sky beyond the rain The storm clouds far beneath The person that I used to be
I could be overestimating my appeal Like the man is gorgeous, he’s a steal It’s just I’ve got this gut intuition That I could be gunpowder to his ammunition And is it all attraction or is it something more I could see myself calling to his door And answering him when I pick up the phone Not have to spend every minute alone But he clasps my words like it’s my hands He’s spaciousness and he understands Though he may have made a blunder or two He’s got my number and I’m replying to you
I’m as see through as a pane of glass And I can see through you, you don’t have to ask What exactly is on your mind I left the world I left behind And grew up into walking shoes To hold my own and pay my dues In seasonal or in holiday stance And I’ve got to say I’ve enjoyed the dance As you tic tac toe in front of me Mr. Awesome or so I see As you lean in close to meet my word And I wonder what it is you heard Coz it echoes against these cavern walls In holidays and free for all’s You knock on my door with your suit and tie Stand up for what can never die And I take your arm as we walk to the dance Is loving you a sort of chance Or risk I’m taking out on the pier Letting a man come near Close enough to break my heart By giving him a share or part Of what I’ve held in from the sky I’m not playing games, I don’t lie But I hold back because the fear Is great enough to kill me, dear And my heart It pounds in my chest As I forsake the rest To say I will and I do When I’m looking straight at you In eyes held tight at the altar The time is now though it gets shorter To see the mist advance with age Though I can’t run from a blank page That bids me just to tell the truth And it’s not so bad giving way to youth That is passing like a sea of storm You’re more to me than a bed that’s warm You are an immortal being Though these images that I’m seeing May make you want to run a mile Or, I dunno, maybe just smile And laugh and say isn’t that the way You look at me and I’m okay
Do I really want you to come a little closer You’re just like a ghost With the flavors of nothing And what I love the most I see you shy away and I avoid Being one of the girls You’re not one of the boys But you dance Like Heaven has given you another chance To be all you are The wonderful bridge Constellatory star That just shines Like gleaming diamonds in gold mines I pick one up But it just reflects the look of you, love And we’re one again Outside the realm of women and men Just to be what is He holds my hand and I am his To recalculate All that has me in a lowly state Where do I walk And is all my effulgence just mere talk Do I live up to The brigand that I saw in you As you caught my hand I catch my breath as you reprimand Me for my trauma of being too much I back away but I also clutch You to me Can you love the whole sea When it’s not yours or mine I felt crushed watching About Time And I could feel a lion roar Deep within me Death the moment life begins me As I sit up off the floor What was that and what’s more Who am I How am I not to die When this body walks I seem to move But it’s just patterning on the groove Of the effervescent I hate to be described as pleasant Coz it’s so lukewarm And I am nothing if not a storm Brewing over the hill Do you know the moment if you’re not still?
We became like two dogs snarling In the days I called you darling And you spit your words out at me I let you go free Like we’re aching from our history You and the mystery As ages pass us by And we love but we don’t know why And we fight and we try But we can’t forgive the lie And you smile but it’s faint and half hearted And I just remember when we started And how it is so different now I still see you through the wind somehow
I actually haven’t lost my spark Or my ability to make a mark And it seems my visage has grown strained Wearing a look so pained From all the trials I’ve been through All for the courage I lacked in you As you exclaimed against your will That love is nothing but a skill And I soared into the roaring sun All for fear of being come undone That I feel in your presence blue The red of fire I am to you
Idealism has me loving him Through the wings of a new song And I’ve only felt Sparsely that I belong In and out between the fear Catching hold of what I hold dear In the hopes that it won’t leave And it’s little that I don’t believe Coz it all pulses in my throat And are we post rote Learning now I sit upon the bough Of a leaning tree To watch the sunset fade in front of me And think it’s much like a life That doesn’t get to happen twice Unless you’re into that sort of thing A reincarnation into the skin that swim In the great ocean And I’ve always been emotion Trying to calm down But I walk on solid ground As my heart beats in my chest Trust in God and leave the rest
Enough of your reign over this land I was honest and faithful, you were underhand And you always find ways to point out my flaws Say what’s underneath when the ice thaws And you gave me pause A moment to think about a hidden clause In all you perambulate Find a way to get out of that state And into another You were never close to being a brother To me And I see All the design done deleteriously Is falling into my palm You were the storm before the Great Calm
There’s something superb on my window pane And all of my fighting I have done in vain Coz he’s waiting for me when I get home And there’s nothing I ever have to do alone And he’s sweet and innocent Pausing and true I let him fall into open arms and you Are always there when I get back There’s nothing in me that you lack As you fail to find refuge in foreign seas And get diagnosed with the dreamer’s disease But it’s not make believe that he was there And I found a diamond in true care
The burning furore that sits in my chest The need to always be the best And speak out what no one’s talking to Is it wrong to put the spotlight on you To shine away what’s been kept hidden It’s beautiful, it is unbidden And it’s longing just to find a home You’re beautiful as you are, alone
Is it too long left unspoken I say, man, I’m only joking But I’m serious as death can be I loved you so I set you free But I spend every moment wishing you were here I love you so much, my dear And I every time I fail to catch I leave the door on the latch Just in case you’ll walk in And I make up stories of me and him To keep me warm in the grey dark And I just walked around Central Park Wondering what was there to give If there’s a life I can let live But somehow moments in the stunning And I’m just running, running Away from this pain that caved inside Is there a reason why I hide From all I thought I knew It all revolves around you
Is this goodbye Now I’m letting go Of the pain that had me Wedded to you, you know And every tale I keep in a locket Is a symbol of How they forgot it Coz the season changes And time renews And what’s bad in the morning Becomes old news I click my heels together When I hear your name It’s been an ocean And I won’t be the same But loving you slightly Will always be Taking a dram Of straight destiny
I’m burning up like the flow of the river As all of life calls me to forgive her Coz I can’t split in two just to spite my face Or deny the regard of constant disgrace And I was only a teen But I saw through the cracks in the dream Untoward a vast expanse Where music makes the people dance And I feel as though I’m on fire Like I’ve been lit by something higher But it always seems to come back to ground Like I’m rooted in the sound Of you saying goodbye Then realizing what it means to die As I sweated it out in the class Then fell victim to what could not last And I stirred on the floor as I heard her call It was like I’d lost the wall Separating me from creation A moment stunned and then elation You can call it enlightenment or waking up Or just realizing all is love Then I see you with your eyes downcast And I try to forget the past But the memory of the crush is ever fresh And I’m still not there yet At the part they say release But I may just be at peace
I feel myself sinking down into the midnight The absence of perfume, the absence of light The dawn of knowing what you cannot say The reluctant acceptance of what cannot stay And I know in the storm there is a break of day And when you trust in God it’ll all be okay But sometimes the ocean is just too deep And I try to catch a few moments of sleep Before I awaken with a start Like everything good it comes from the heart
They’re selling an American Dream But I’m walking on a moonbeam As it guides my way home And tells me I’m not alone As I open out into the vast expanse Perceive the space as the molecules dance To make up the shape of me The frame of what is memory Held together by a subtle flaw I wonder is ice real as it starts to thaw
Is it just my hormones Making me love you A perfect match A patch for two Or is it something deeper That we might share I know that I love you I know that you care And when all the wilderness Lets me go Will I still be there At the end of the show Coz I just wanna hold your hand And have you feel The decades of love With which I cannot deal As they wrap around The map of your frame And I twirl on my fingertips The headtrip of your name
I’ve got the fear of missing out on stuff And most of that is love Coz they’ve all got stars in their eyes And I’m full of existential why’s As Peter dances with me in the club I may have kept the ticket stub As he laughs when I say hi And I begin to think he’s superfly But it could never work coz it’s not the dream And I’m holding out for what could’ve been Don’t you think you’d know at first sight And your smile is kryptonite And there’s nothing more to say Did I adore the way Your reflection keeps the style And I’m down for a long while And I don’t understand why you’re still on my mind When I thought that had left nothing in kind And is it wrong to profess my dues When I’m walking my own shoes And have the rhythm of soul And a heart of fire that’s burning with coal Do you think we could be something still? Even if you forget I never will
She’s rewriting the rule book Like I did with a school look As I ran up and down the halls Some are chasing dreams, I’m chasing walls To keep me safe and closeted in But it takes a breath for the night to begin And once it does you can’t go back Obsessed with how they have all you lack And she shines But I’ve written that story a thousand times As I begged to be let in Then got caught in the full glare of a grin That suddenly shone on me Asked for my hand and my integrity And I fell victim to An obsession with the form of you When the midnight calls my name And I nonchalant all the same Your absolutely sincere Does intimacy mean more than near Coz this close is comfortable Like we’re both being vulnerable And almost to touch I gotta say I love you so much Behind the folds of a page This moment will never age
.Reading time less than 1 minute.
When I was twenty six I didn’t know what hit me All I know is that Jesus is with me And each step he walks points me the way I just need to trust in what he say
The guy in the line was really sweet And I wonder about fate and how we meet Under the sky of a new sun And anybody could be the one With your jet black hair and stolen eyes The way you say there are no lies And I’ve always been one of the guys But love takes my hand to my own surprise As I revel in misery and the grief Of losing all that I invest belief In now the times are dual But Advaita is beyond the rule Of anything that dare contain Can you learn to love the pain
There’s just this peace And I know that it should really cease When I’ve lost someone But love is not done And expands from out my heart As quick as a skip rhythm part And in time with tune There is a presence in the room That announces this It is more than a first kiss
Giving myself permission to open up I’ve got to be vulnerable if I wanna love And I’m risking the pain coz damn sure it’s there But I’ve gotta trust if I wanna care And the wind blows no matter which way I turn A fire sign has just gotta burn Til the ashes turn phoenix new Til I see myself reflected in you And I know I’ve got problems, I know I’ve got vices But I am the queen of no compromises As I utter the truth as it sits on my breath I say to the sky; don’t let me forget Coz I wanna grow up, I don’t wanna away But there’s room in this house for peace to stay And open the cages that rattle their bars Twenty odd years and I’m still chasing cars Down every avenue Still trying to prove something to you All now that are watching my every move But who would you be if you walked in my shoes Like Atticus Finch and fine thread Do up your laces and keep up your head As everything born to beat you down Slowly vacates your side of town To leave you free as a bird in the air I just want you to know that I am there For you in every melee Whether or not you’re talking to me In the sunshine, the storm, the rain or the snow There is no place a shepherd won’t go To retrieve that lost sheep he owns Give up the struggle and just come home
Rolling in the river like it’s a storm It’s ice cold but it keeps me warm As I sigh at the advances of every guy I’m solitary, lonely and I don’t know why Coz everything seems like it’s out to get me At least since the day that he met me And I fired the summer with a new fuse Lost love like I had the power to choose And his breath comes in gasps as he’s staring at me My love is true so I set him free But he’s just in the wilderness I let him touch Doesn’t know the depths of what I love so much And the ocean is water but so is a tear I count the time like trees do a year It’s okay with me all of the time But in secret silence I call you mine As you stay away and I respect What you haven’t come to terms with as of yet The guilt, the hatred, the violent pain You look up and it’s raining again It’s all it can do til the cloud has passed But the sky is still blue and it will always last
All those things I didn’t do And the worst of all of those things was you As you passed across my screen Looking as ephemeral as a dream In the moment true Could I have meant it all to you? If I’d just stepped forward to All that I thought of to meet you And you’re fire and ashes I’m the Phoenix that rises Meeting you the best of surprises On that July morning Now there’s weather and it’s all storming Into the notion of what we could be But I won’t cross She As she holds your hand And stares into a pair of eyes so grand They’re subterfuge And it would just be rude To interrupt What you’ve become, so abrupt So I let you leave Let you believe That I don’t care About all that isn’t there In the moment true I clasp the thought I had of you So tight And I’m alright But the bliss is fading And the idealism is jading As my thirties continue apace And I stop staring at your face Through a window in time I’m kicking myself coz you could be mine
Ijust wanna protect her And I’m so mad that he’d reject her And ruin her starlit shine It’s kind of like the light that used to be mine And now she sings of a defeat, years ago I close my eyes because I should not know But I do I still feel you In the cobwebs of my mind Kind of like a secret I’ve left behind And we tangled up our avenues I sing of heaven without you And innocence lost She paid the price but at what cost
I withdraw my accusation Since I’ve lived my realisation And see that the fault is not with you It’s with the pain you put me through As I resist and you agree That everything troubled comes over the sea In washes and waves at the Cliffs of Moher And you swore you did not know her Til I saw your hands interlocked On a screen in between where the birds had flocked To get their share Of bread and water, now I’m in your stare As you love her more than you loved me Why did I not let myself just see As I hid on paper And you promised them that you hate her Well, that her is me And I’m not gonna try to make you see Infinity Unless you already do And I felt the ocean move When you touched my hand And met eyes that understand To leave you free I’m glad you picked her over me
Leaving Louisiana I watch the Mississippi River As we glide over it in a plane I don’t know when I’ll be back that way again And the heat in July must be hard to bear They’re on their own and my God I care About all they’ve come to be Does the water run into the sea Or does it just keep on going I guess I have no real way of knowing
I wanna kiss DC full in the face For the joy of loving me in my disgrace And should I maybe not say your name In case you see it, well it’s all the same As you smoked a cig in the club And I held onto you like you’re a drug As you held my eyes like a line And describing you sends me out of my mind But you’re perfect, you’re beautiful, you’re so debonair And I’m lost like a wonderland in your hair As you care And I stare If I could I’d take you anywhere You’d wanna go You looked at me like you didn’t need to know About my past, my history It’s all present moment when you’re with me
Fuck it I’m shit cool Though I was A1 in school And everyone is so nice Life the kind of trip you can’t take twice Drinking on the street Like the day Darragh and I meet And I swear I love that guy I’d marry him if he thought to try To try it on one more time He kinda reflects the light sublime As he gazes in my eyes And there’s something that never dies Held between us both I’ll get the door if you get my coat And I’ll hold it open for you Don’t you know that I adore you As you so honestly inflect I am down for what’s coming next
Listening to Midnights in the dark in Natchez I thought she said she buried the hatchet But she’s wearing it like a new dress Not even trying to impress And I wonder what sky She lies under like a guy And I’m high on frappechino But isn’t it like a dream though To know someone knows you well Throughout the secrets you never tell Just fly solo But it’s cooler than ice, you know As I think of that book we bought Queuing up in the cold we caught And it just reminds me of all the times I trusted the way the sun shines On the gap between us both I smile still and you know it But I say I’m not gonna explain it away As I do A one times one is never two
It’s fucking class You don’t need to ask She’s done it again, you say But I knew it all along, okay That she’s a colossus in my heart She makes my pain into art With a paintbrush in her hand If she was here I’d tell her it’ll be grand But she’s storming on another front And the winter is bearing the brunt And a bit of a ne’er do well It’s the secret I never tell That I’ve got this darkness too The only thing that doesn’t reflect you In the mirror of my mind It’s the truth I left behind As everyone just moves on I’m focused always on what’s already gone As the fade to grey comes back to sing Aoibhínn told me I’ve a broken wing And I couldn’t disagree I told the doctor it wasn’t me He needed to worry about But he’s frayed the thread with doubt And looks at me with apprehension I should’ve told him it’s just the suspension Of disbelief for a moment or two No, the problem isn’t you It’s me, at least presently or so There are places I won’t go But I’ve yet to explore Everything I adore Could you just hold the door I’d ask you but you did before
There was a winter in summertime As I laid claim to all that’s mine The showers awash with rain Holding myself together amongst the pain As she clicked her lips to all my flaws But when the sun burns all the ice thaws In the mystery of a silent barricade The house I live in, the home I’ve made Was all but naught to the blowing wind When you grow up, do you know you’ve sinned Or do you just grow out of that sort of thing Dreaming of a sky or a diamond ring To annunciate what’s inside The Eternal to abide
I can’t just keep writing poems about you Not when the Real is here And you never seem To reply to me, dear And the sidelines are awash With all the fragrant flames Knocking down the obstacles And taking names And you showed me your true colours Like a multi hued sky And I was not afraid To either live or die But only meet the honest That is shining in your eyes I think I might have seen you Without your best disguise
Holding my Catholicism with a light hand I believe in Jesus and shur it’ll all be grand Coz I trust in the Infinite Even in the dark of midnight When everything closes down And all you can see is the town That held you back Lost in everything you lack But that celestial sphere Of burning white light is always near And comforts me in my trauma So I walk amid the flora and fauna Just to feel the Nature in my bones It’s been years since I knew alones And even in the event of catastrophe I know the Lord walks with me Together with two pair of feet He leaves one set of steps on the beach As He carries me all the way home I guess that’s how the True Love is shown
I think I would steal away home To find the letters you wrote on stone In tablet form with a stylus The reams of literature can’t confine us Coz we are a storm by the light of day But in the night we are okay As you put one finger on my pulse And wait for the racing heart to lull Into the birth of silent trust The reams of gold that will not rust Only gaze in steady charm The love of God is safe from harm
Can I just lie here on your chest Be done with all the doing my best And just slip into a peaceful slumber You’re calling me but I lost your number And the answer’s like a dictaphone I’m in my room all alone Dreaming of a time less hidden And waves to roll that stroll unbidden And monuments are the days to come The forever in the being young But the timeless in the growing old There’s part of the story that’s never told But waits in stillness and in silence whole The power of love to wake the soul The power of emptiness come undue The strength in the gaze of you The solidity and the trust I’ll give up the pain if it’s a must And if you’re serious about the past Then the future will everlast But the truth is in a moment free We’re talking and he’s looking at me As the time flies by and the hours pass I didn’t know your name, didn’t think to ask But smile as if it’s all left to do I’m in love and it’s with you
Afraid of my own words It’s like a tree being afraid of the birds Never mind, it’s true I can’t hide any of this from you As I take pencil to page To rattle the walls of every cage To let the dark out The demons can’t hurt you if you shout And call the sky into being It is the waves that I am freeing To know their ocean nature Like the moon so in tune with every crater I smile at the good of it all Cause I found solid ground in the freefall
There she goes out on a spin I wonder will I end up with him Coz the spiral galaxies can’t contain Anything that is less than rain And it all cascades from a cloud When you speak do you do it out loud And are you proud Of all you’ve come to be Do you really see Or just threaten so I ask because it’s somewhere I go Sometimes And all my rhymes Can’t fill the awning gap in my soul How do you find yourself in a black hole Singular true The point of eternity flowing from you
There’s a whole storm coming up to be seen It’s what made a nightmare out of the dream Of all of the goodbyes I scream in the night Are the way I give up on all of my fight To go washing down the avenue Like the river I’ve made of you And I don’t know what paints the scene I can just feel an inner screen Longing to wake itself up in me Be liberated from our history And it’s shouting out, love, be free And I feel the weight of dignity Smiling to an inner sun I think that guy might be the one In all that’s been left unsaid And things I think of in my bed Where we’ve made a life so true With all the colours I see in you And you in me I wonder what we’ll get to be If we can live our mystery Like holding hands in a hidden space Finding our own sort of place That we can be together for forever My love for you’s beyond the weather
