I had a dream,
which was not all a dream
    bathed in moonlight,
              naked,
                    without disguise,
holding two tickets to tomorrow's sunrise.

Gazing to the sky
      A dying star explodes
          Humbled eyes
accepting the beauty he bestowed

Rooted and intoxicated
                                        with love and light,
The Sun spreads her wings
                                        to warm this lonely night
A thousand voices uplifted in prayer

"There are not enough tears to tell you how i feel,
  yet my heart is an Eden and Heaven holds a place for you there"

Oh, Sweet Sleep
Why have you gone away?
Oh, how i miss
your kiss at the end of the day
Oh, lying in bed
you have nothing to say
Oh, you've forgotten
the place where i lay
Oh, come to me soon
Cause i am in disarray

Today
**** Today
waking to the phone
gut wrenching words
breaking my knees
kiss the ground
bash the skull
saliva and snot
staining cement
conscious seizure
dress the wound
keep the keys
close to my heart
drive me there
smoke lingering
in the passenger seat
with the windows up
they cut him down
before i saw
garage door
never opens
any more

Today my words ache
tomorrow the pain will still remain
years from now will i remember his face?
will that laugh lose its brilliance in time's embrace?
I choke down these tears cause my heart won't refrain
I cling to that love that still remains
sobering is the thought of death
yet seductive are the thoughts of its embrace
will these emotions stay with the body i escape
or will they chase me through this cosmic race?
does my soul have eyes?
will i still witness beauty?
Is there any in this earthly prison here?
colors have bled to gray
no more do i welcome the winds of sage
and conversation is better left to the birds
will i again yearn for a lover's embrace?
this shadow of numbness eternal as the sun's rays
I wish for sleep on this wreckage of a day

My head aches
from too many takes
the thought of you and i meeting
your soft lips
the sway of your hips
the way the clouds seem to clear away
we've never spoken
at least with gestures and tones
we pass notes under a table
unable to give up that fantasy
a vision i hold so dear to me
pretty girl, dark brown hair
pretty girl, with that diamond stare
eyes as deep as sunset oceans
like the landscape on fire
this abyss that i call my heart
Heaven holds a place for you there
