When Angels fall too far from grace
And Tin-men rise to take their place
Clockwork arms and clockwork legs
A clockwork heart in an iron cage
Wingless wonders watching here
Minds of malice, thoughts of fear

If angels lie, and fall from grace
What hope have we, the human race

I want to spend tonight alone with you
Just looking at stars
And Reading our fates etched there in the sky
Comets shoot by like old famed glories
Dead but never gone
Not from our hearts
So I’ll say it again
I want to spend tonight alone with you
Just looking at the stars.

Behind the buildings where secret lovers meet
In the harsh white lights where open lovers greet
And down on this the smiles the night sky
With her wisdom of many days gone by.

Burns like whiskey, Tastes like ash
How do you bury the lost and past?
Vaguely haunting gossamer dreams
Reality fraying at its seams.
When the sticky sweet face melts away
What cruel intentions are left to stay?

Blessed be the mother
Of the child who isn’t even hers
Blessed be the lovers
Who endure the hateful slurs

Blessed be the doctor
Whose services are given for free
Blessed be the teacher
That taught right by you and me

Blessed be the babe
Who sees not in terms of hate
Blessed be the man
That stops before it’s too late

Blessed be a world
In which there is hope
Blessed be the words
That you and I wrote.

You and Me
We’ve got History
Good days and the Bad
All the times we’ve had
There is no higher truth to find
True friends never leave you behind
~Dedicated to Kim and to Morgan who have been with me through all the mournings and the miles

2AM
Awake again…2AM, Visions spinning in my head
Of bodies writhing, tangled in a carnal embrace
Thought evocative of thoughts provocative
Can’t get these visions out of my mind…
Of bodies writhing, sweat drenched
Pounding out an ancient beat, something purely animal,
Primal, untouchable by time and civilization alike
Somewhere I hope you’re suffering too
With visions that just won’t let you rest.
