you cross the room, a shadow swift
i tremble in your gentle lift
my head hits sheet, my heart skips beat
must i beg to feel your heat?

my fingers tangle in your hair
the smell of sweat swims through the air
skin hits skin, i burn within
must i beg for this again?

A Kiss Goodbye

Sometimes when I’m up real late at night
Staring up at the pretty sky
I lay my head back onto the wet pillow
And close my pretty eyes.

Those dreams of you when you still loved me
Kept creeping in my head
But you ain’t here no more and I don’t know why
Hate to sleep alone in this bed.

And when I see your eyes looking back at me
And the dreams never seem to fade
It’s kind of sad how I’d hoped that you’d still come home
And look at all the mess you’ve made.

I don’t see how I was supposed to know
That when we fought and you slammed the door
That it was the very last time that you would come home
That I wouldn’t see you anymore.

You said that you were gonna take a plane
To visit some old friends
Said you had to get out, get away from me
Didn’t know that was the end.

And I couldn’t stand the September cold
Since it caused me so much pain
So I took a walk in the dark, wet night
My tears the color of the rain.

In the morning when I turned on the news
And saw New York uproar
Twin towers ablaze, I was in a daze
You were gone forevermore.

And the hardest part about you leaving me
Isn’t even that I cry
No the hardest part about you leaving me
Is that I didn’t get a kiss goodbye.

My Heart has been asleep.
Boa constrictor
coiled --
squeezing
with all his strength.

Heart numb,
there is no feeling
constrict --
tighter, tighter --
I cannot breathe.

He releases my Heart;
he does not want it
any longer.
Heart still asleep --
I cannot move.

To move is to feel pain.
Heart mangled --
he slithers away,
so unfeeling --
he cannot love.

But slowly,
light, dark,
light, dark,
Heart begins -- ever so slowly
to tingle.

It's been quite a time
Since I saw, saw your face

Watched you leave, leave my world
Gone without, out a trace

Though I try, try I may
To bring you to my eye

The mem'ries that I had
They've all, all run dry

And my mind has forgotten
You

And now you are something
Less than a memory

Like the fog
That sets
When you wake
From a dream
That's what
You've become
To me

The screams are heard
from the garden,
from the jungle of my thoughts.
They're so foreign
in tihs paradise
but they are kin
to the madness in my mind.
I wonder if there's a killer
an assassin of childen -- of peace
and if it will spread its misery
like a tsunami of blood.
But as I lay
in the garden,
the Eve to his innocence
I realize that the screams
are my own.

Flitter, flutter, glitter, gloss
The wings of hearts, the fear of loss
Quiver, shiver, tremble, shake
The dreams will last until you wake.

Crunching snow, prickling skin
Bristly scarf, blowing wind
All these things and many more
Have come to knock upon my door.

"Come out today and play with us
Why do you look so serious?
It's nothing more than taking chance
To lose your seat so you can dance."

"So what if you've no mind to dream
Or that you have no voice to scream
Just take a chance, you'll see it through
Then nothing will be troubling you."

Giggle, wiggle, hope and pray
Please don't wait another day
Crying, trying, prance and dance
It's nothing more than taking chance.

Home is where my heart is
And right now
My heart is tying his shoes
Getting ready for the day
He's tall
He doesn't see me watching
His skin smells like some
Distant memory of my past
When the grass was tall
And the sun was warm
Like the sky had never even seen a storm.

This morning
I choose to lay in bed
And watch him dress
He looks at me, winks at me
Tells me to get some rest.

Other days
I might've followed him to the door
To give him
Just one kiss more
I might've had doubt
He would return
I'd have needed to be reassured.

But last night
The clouds unveiled the moon
And by it I could see his lips
And what I read there
Had my rays of doubt eclipsed.

And now I know
That certainty comes
In the shape of pale blue eyes
And home descends
From those stormless skies
And it's easy to rest
When I know what's mine
It's easy to sleep
When I know that I'll have my heart
Until the very end of time.
