Boil the kettle - soon now

time enough and we’ll leave her

Pat my hand as we talk around it

until the past night is a blur

Push your hands to my eyes

they’re aching from the fever

The sun will come and change this

- soon now, hear the murmur?

I don’t know who you think you are,
Or who you think I am,
But I know we go together;
We can both go hand-in-hand.
The road is stretched before our feet,
The way is clearly wrought.
Come move with me through broken night,
Color my every thought.
Your hand in mine and mine in yours,
We’ll go through well and ill.
Hold me now and keep me close,
My fragile sleeping pill.
Too far between, though right beside,
I’ll never get enough.
We move along our broken street,
O’er every crack and scuff.
To times untold and days unknown,
We’ll share this painted dream,
And on this rock we’ll build our love,
By torn and tattered seam.

the last embrace i have felt has left me adrift
i can feel nothing
my mind reeling at the thought of it
it revokes my consciousness
i am frozen longing for more
knowing it will never come
soon the warmth will end
i try to forget and move forward
yearning for more of what leads me to destruction
but I'm caught in my own delusion only wanting what the heart desires
and never what the brain knows
i am lost

Far away
you can stay close
if you want
I’ll forget every reason
why not
remembering only the why
-why I should never have turned my back
to your crooked smile
your soft glow
you’re
your eyes.

Stay close and have nothing
far away you are
everything
the sun moon stars,
heavens above,
dance the clouds.
I want to say to
take my hand and
lead me, treading softly
along your silk path
through the sky
-it’s okay.

But no,
don’t get too close
stay behind the line
stay away.
