In a room full of enemies
Including yours truly
Even when truly sometimes I’m not even yours

You speak of me fondly
And call me by name
You blame me for beauty and love for your cause

But love like an ocean
Is nearer than shadows
From my shallow stream that runs dry by your sea

Your thunder will deepen
This rain deep affection
And deep connects deep as you flow out of me.

A seed
That was what your love was like
It had to die to grow

Watered by memories
Tilled by todays
And all our hopes for tomorrow

My heart still blooms with love for you
And that's where your garden still grows

It is both understandable and bewildering,
That you knew my name before I did,
Even before I was born,
And I will remember yours long after you are gone.

The Sky was always your home,
You just came in and lit up my room for a little while.

Between the wind and rain
Is a breath from my lungs
That longs to be in yours

You pull down the canopy of night,
And with pin ****** bright,
You guide the sun back to the sky

And whip back the grey and black canvass
Royal gold and turquoise
Without a noise, your pen scratches the sky

With streaks of white and grey
Thick black thunder heads sway
And then as the paint bleeds, you cover the easel

We can open the heart and pierce the mind,
But only an artist leaves feelings behind,
Feelings from thoughts as big as the sky

In your eyes there is freedom,
From the shadow's glare
From the wounded stares
From the mirror snares

In your hands there is healing
From the heart of doubt
From a life without
From a razor mouth

In your heart there is meaning
For the misunderstood child
For the violent wild
For the broken smile

But in your death there is nothing
Forever closed eyes
Forever cold hands
Forever silent heart
