When the clock strikes noon
I begin to wish for the dark
To see your face
Bring light to the moon

My Dear
You are the echo from the rhythm of my heart
How can breathing so close
Carry us so far apart
If love is loss and pain
Then what is left is what remains
Emptiness and sorrow
How can one-man dance
When no songs will play tomorrow

Here I am
Just spinning in the wind
A wandering soul
Excavating the hope
That lies buried within

Here I am
Slow dancing with pain
A battered warrior
Searching for glory
Breaking free from these chains

Here I am
On the edge of the void
A healing heart
Hope in hand
Drifting away from all the noise

Here I stand
Walking this empty road
Devoid of regret
Tears run dry
I’m coming home

The hour draws near
As the clock strikes midnight
Demons begin to converse with fear
Drenched in candlelight
This pen becomes a mirror
A conduit for insight
Inking endless tears
My creatures of the night
May you never disappear

Do we ever notice
How clouds of light
Vale the stars
From human sight

Do we ever notice
How the light from the moon
Illuminates our path
As the oceans turn black from blue

Do we ever notice
The warmth of a touch
Until hands become ashes
From dust to dust

So, let’s notice the world
Come and sit for a while
It’s ok to grow old
With the heart of a child

There is a place I dream of
That truly frees my mind
It often smells like peace
And tastes of salty brine

The hours never wither
On these sands of time
Where the sun can always kiss her
And faces age like wine

The night is deafly quiet
Bright stars adorn the sky
The moon floats behind it
And I never say goodbye
