I wish that I could slither out of my skin Drop it on the floor like a soaked through towel Used to wipe all the blood of the innocent from my hands Free myself Unbound Unchained Let go. Not a giver Not a lover Not a fighter Freedom from the every day Let go of the past Regrets Frets Let it all wash away in the tidal wave No loyalty No dogged plea Just a person from here to there Anywhere but here.

Unbound
Falling through layers Clouds and colors brushing Past the flashing lights Freedom filling all of me A fire lit within Embraced by the concrete hands My final sin

Concrete Hands
If longing gave me dollars, darling I'd be a billionaire I'd fly across the universe Just to meet you there

I took this fragile box of glass and put it on a stand And hoped and thought and cried for it to cross to different lands It jumped and shook and trembled to life like a beast trapped in the sands Finally with kit gloved care my heart was in your hands

You stick a needle in my arm The other end a fountain pen And I would bleed myself dry Trying to find the perfect words To calm the thrashing in my soul A million memories in one last breath On my lips would be a name in sin

I would rather drink these glass shards of truth Than tea sweetened with honey full of lies

My lungs inhale and with every breath I know In this garden of life thick with fragrant distraction Shadows follow and brightness fades Light in my soul will illuminate the way Down to the darkened forest floor If you turn your back and lose your path In the thick of it Let the flame in my heart guide you Through the rose bush brambles abundant with longing Back down to the cool healing of this burning ocean of desire

I feel your fingers trace gently The shape of my heart Every time a new piece of art In my mind a permanent etching of love that is shared Framed in my soul An eternity paired

Eternal Soul Art
Equidistant Suspended animation Caught between Living in a dream Not quite in your heart Not shut out Your gravity has pulled me in I can't go now Lock to my heart On the ocean floor Flooded with wonder I have to know Watching light seep into my world A million songs couldn't contain Words in my heart that I need to explain Darkness coming Quickly now Pull me in Cast me out

Transcend
Soft and slow Hard and fast I fell for you In future in past Distance between Inches apart Breath to breath Heart to heart Silly nicknames Lyrics sent Secrets shared All of it meant Soul to soul Laugh for laugh My life is changed I won't take it back
