The quiet heat of a summer night
June bugs dancing in the twilight
The world still and dreamy
Alone with memories

I'll close my eyes and hear your voice
Pulling at the heart strings of a moment
You radiate all that is right
To be the name you whisper in the dark

Breathe like Honeysuckle on a back road
Toes in the fresh mud and eyes towards the sky
In the middle of where we should be
I'll fall into the pieces of you

Just as the morning promises the sun
This hello is where we linger
Adrift amongst clouds
Will you look for me in the horizon?

Tonight the still will keep me warm
Details and denial of what could be
There are no stars, my love
Sweetest dreams

Would my rhythm to the stars awake the galaxy?
Nestled so sweetly in the craters of the moon
Watching time bend to see the connected
Such a crooked little maybe

Whispers far too quiet for the storm
Soft beats drown in the thunder of day to day
What if you were to listen?
The light is there to guide you home

Fire that burns throughout the night
Love's never-ending promise of next time
Would the truth burn upon your lips?
You are a wildflower

Brilliant light behind your eyes
The fall into a moment
To allow another soul to say hello
Forever searching to be seen

Quiet confessionals for the sake of lovers  
Hidden behind rose colored glasses
The path seems long to the lone traveller
Petals find a way to kiss the sun

Destiny is but a hue of gray
Walking within our shadows
Delicate things we are
Searching for the light

Invitation to a bonfire twilight
Drunken man on the moon, spreading gossip amongst the stars
Play things to the darkness
Choking on swallowed secrets

Unsure of where to stand
This dance upon a clock hand
Between the moments where time is still
An intimate fire for butterflies

Flexible is the soul that is
Skipping rocks on a reflection
Waist deep in murky water
A soul extended

Let's disappear into the heat
All consuming energy
Once the tongue has tasted fire
Open is the heart of could be

******* words are where you leave me
Pieced together chaos
A bit of soul still lingers
Trapped between the unspoken

I saw angels dance upon a velvet skyline
A song of all that used to be
Bass whispers in a soprano dawn
A walk at midnight

Branches that long to touch the clouds
Rain drips from the tips of split locks
A longing to be absorbed
Moonlit cheekbones graced with sorrow

The thunder knows your desires
Plucked like falling stars
Cloak yourself in rich hues of black
A bit of gold on a roses thorn

Lost is but the journey
Hang your heart amongst the weary
Won't you stay a while?
Forever wandering

Cold palm against warm thighs
A shiver of a daydream
Fantasies attraction to the dark
To embrace a shadow

Secrets in a hush
Floral and musk painted air
Breathe in the darkness
Exhale ecstasy

Raven black clouds
A nightmare of falling
To be your quiet in a world of hurry
Where the sun and moon collide

No promise of a memory
The world lingers upon your lips
Depicted fiction of lovers lost
A tale for the ages

Worry woven linen
Heat on a cool summers night
Cracked door to the promise land
To exist in twilight

Scent of summer on your skin
You taste like a memory
Eyes as bright as sunflowers
Take note of the season

Dawn's dance upon the dew
Cool creek water beaded toes
Meet me there my love
In the shadows of maybe

Soft bluegrass giggle
Today looks good on you
Sun kissed freckled cheeks
Caught in our connection

Let next time be our melody
My dandelion diamond
In this season of  stars
You are the moon

Close your eyes, sweet girl
Whisper to me silence
Tangled questions
Beautifully forgotten

To be a thought
Shadows of the sun
Eternities forbidden
A slave to the night

Eyes of wonder
Shames reflection
Lost in your gaze of sorrow
Dark side of the sky

You are seen
Translations of dawn
Buried in your silence
Turn your stare towards the moon

Clouds upon your lashes
A journey lost
Provoked voices
To calm a quiver
