She was magical to me even way back then
They said the way I felt about her was a sin
But that wasn't the only thing that kept us apart
We had it all working against us from the start
The parents, the church, the social setting
all had their say about what who was getting
they just wanted to control everything, have their say
They didn't really give a dam about us anyway
So we saw our chance, we made our break
we had nothing to loose we had nothing to take
We left that sanctimonious religious prison behind
We never looked back, never missed that design
Anyplace on the road we could have lived better
but we went for the city she led and I let her
With only ourselves to care for each other
We never became a father and mother
we each knew the other of us better than ourselves
we lived out our lives in love and respect to our depths
when our journey ended, so did the purpose of our existence

It's a secret
No one else feels it,  none other than I
know you are a goddess in my eyes
I know I'm not worthy of your attention
yet I feel it's my life's purpose to mention
That life has no meaning if you pass me by
not knowing flower roots drink when clouds cry
without your sunlight to shine open their petal arms
to absorb for the night your life giving charms
It took heart-crushing time for me to discover
the light of your love shines for another
So then how could I expect you to know
my heart still tags along wherever you go
So I must keep the secret, outside the unrequited cycle
of how my heart is longing only for you my Cybele .

Baby you're the definition of the cause of the blues
You just empty out any heart you choose
You got no sense of shame or remorse
for the destruction left in the wake of your course
You're so beautiful and it's obvious you know it
but every chance you get to be loved, you just blow it
you pretend sincerity religiously
by sayin' you love God so much
When you're done with the fools that fall for you
What's left unbroken of them is not much
You act like you've been heartbroken,
and say you don't want to be hurt again.
Then you sink the hook in the new poor fool
just when you think They're All In.
There is no truer thing that can be said about you
When she looks that good she's to good to be true

Socially Distant Love
Why did I ascend into love so verboten and forsaken
Just when it seems our lives could be so easily taken
One embrace in your warm arms has sent my world askew
seeds of pure intention in my fertile imagination grew

Though there's no possible way you have of knowing
That way down deep my heart was so secretly growing
Such compelling feelings my whole being is enchanted
From a seed of love you with such carelessness planted

My burgeoning heart's feelings are emptying out
vacillating in waves between pure fear and doubt
as my own overwhelmingly excited heart's mind
with your heart and mine, our true feelings align

This love's too strong to keep stringing along
with only vague promises of love in my song
Is it too much to ask and or is it all way too soon
is unrequited love driving me crazy as a loon

Oh God in which belief deeply I have suppressed
please reemerge now and hear my fervent request
I'm praying for both our hearts to be receptive
to intentions between us let not become deceptive

The reaper swings his merciless scythe at one and all
Driving all so far apart so we cannot touch, only call
Let us resist this fatal attraction and far apart we stay
When the virus dies off we'll all come out again to play

With reckless abandon let's then love's thrill pursue
Your heart seeking mine and as mine lusts after you
As we satisfy all the silly rules of society's game
United in love even though we may not be in name

For what does a future not centered around you hold
but a sense of lost moments memories might have told
might as well never have lived with our love entwined
when one and not both together dwell in heaven divine

If one should ascend alone and the other must stay
In a life of living in hell day after heartbreaking day
incarnate souls living out of sync with each other
By chance encountering solace as illicit lovers

Every day left behind with no real sense of purpose
Each passing day becoming like another one of surplus
Until a final day comes to a body grown so untenable
It can not play host to an immortal soul so invincible

Since each soul has forgotten that from one came all
Bonds of love are formed by actions large and small
Each personality defines themselves as quite unique
Times toll on each is felt as an unforgiving critique

In some dimension, all consciousness dwells in harmony
When we're there all formless without a way to feel love
Without senses to feed an ego, we can't hear life's polyphony
all exist in a timeless dimension far away and high above

" Dreammembering"
Awash in the 8th sea of prelimerence as endless as the ocean
Dreammembering a time of life defined by love's devotion
creating moments that feel as real as now yet out of reach
We held hands then and walked upon a perfect golden beach
Golden light on the curve of cheek and your mane's dark chocolate strands
We redefined "ourself" with loving eyes and touching hands
Thoughts between our heart-minds making promises unspoken
All our times of life on earth we hoped to share as one unbroken
Reality cleaves our dream's edge as consciousness reawakens
a sense of dread, the pang of loss, as love's left there forsaken
prelimerence merged low on Wildcat beach by high tide it's enthralled
We leave it weep-singing love's parting song like Alamere falls
