your voice so rare

the depths of which
are still unmatched

your words spark
longing in me

a longing for life

an eternal flame
that warms my soul

I will never cease
listening to you

to feel all of me
in your simple words

rest now soulful man
Dedicated to the memory of Bill Withers

You make me dance.
I'm not a dancer.
You make me sing.
I'm not a singer.
You make me your lover.
I'm not anyone's lover.
I'm not Pinocchio.
I'm a real boy.
You pull strings of my heart
and I love you for it.

What if my lyrics aren't good enough for you
What if I put myself in a song and you don't listen
I could catch you with a melody or a key change
But I want it to be heard in the words that I say
Please find some sort of meaning in my words my darling

Until I sing to you I will understand

This is no story
This is just a plead
So please
Listen and hear
These words that I bleed

I could catch you with a melody or a key change
But I want it to be heard in the words that I say
Never again will it be said this way
Please find some sort of meaning in my words my darling

Until I sing to you
Please remember me
And these words that have been sung
Will never be heard the same

I love You because
you're like
Poetry to me -

filling up my lungs
with fresh, thin breeze;

I love You because
you make my Heart
skip a beat -

for it can't take
this drumming - crazy -
that's growing inside of me.
