I am unknown
No one hears my voice
My tears are shed in silence
The echo of my cry haunts me
Upon the sacred I’ve taken my pain

Cast into the ocean of endless prayer
When my eyes open I have no will in mind
My soulfulness has been emptied of its voice
I am alone, unknown, emptied out once again

The pains and the joys of an intercessor are left unmet in an undiscovered country

Inside the second sight of chance
Smoke filled rooms and romance
Glitter was running down her arms
I remembered, I grew up on a farm

Thinking I didn't know ladies like you
But tonight I knew I wanted too!

Her feet slipped out of her high heels  
Spilling wine, so stupid is all I feel
Rubbing against her as I passed the door
Afraid to ask her to dance on the floor

Glitter is now running down my arm
My heart is beating like a fire alarm

I looked up and she was looking at me
We both knew what each wanted to see
We raised our arms and started to smile
So I sat beside her and talked for awhile

Seems as though it was meant to be
I was for her, what she was for me

My heartbeat stopped with the rain
Goosebumps trickled down my spine
I was frightened but still alive

This hole I call my life is a dark pill
Somewhere between this nightmare
I’ll wake up and forget everything

Scowls, cold brew and an empty glass
Last thing I want to see is my reflection
Puking in the gutter of my dreams

GRAVE STONES
You mount the stones on my grave as if I was already dead. You ignore the words to my songs and lip-sync my tunes, as you put me to sleep. You forgotten the time we walked together on the beach when you put your footstep into mine. Soon enough you will follow me.
My life was like living in the shadow of someone else’s reality. I failed to demand my own. So why do I demand it now. I am dead to you. You see right through me, that’s why my skin is softer then ice. I will never remember the warmth of your touch or the sting of your kisses.
Sweet farewells are lies we tell ourselves, when we want to just let go. That is why I let go for you. I could not bare to see you cry. Teardrops stain the pages of your bible, with words that mean nothing to you, words that will never stain your lips again. You never loved me.

Wake up oh dreamers of light, tell of your travels
Sailing wingless upon the sea of glass windswept

Neither tomorrow nor the present can touch you
Neither the past nor what is exists in you now

Touch me with the water of your words, be in me
Consume my dry bones everlasting to everlasting

Sleeping in the heavens providing my eternal bed
Becoming the flower neither wanting or forgetting

The sky is your home without a step to stand upon
The stars are the ancestors of your family tree

When will you introduce me to your time or being
I will wait upon the sun and moon as it counts mine

How medieval are your eyes. They rise and fall with the sun; playfully crossing the sky within your gaze I see the eternal sun. Your eyelashes are like feathered gates into which I dream of you.
Your smile is a gift upon your face, only kings deserve to share. Your eyebrows guide my fingertips as I caress your face. And the bridge of your nose is a perch I rest upon to take in all of you.
What cannot be hidden cannot be disguised with a mere veil. Nor can anything vain or foreign come between us. You are my diamond shining in a sea of glass and I see everything about you.
Sing to my heart now in the whisper that carries me away. Within the infinite pools that cascade effortlessly from your eyes I am drowning in your love. You are my beloved in whom I am most taken.
