I'm always searching for you
In the fabrics of your clothes
In the narrow roads we've walked
And places we sat
I'm always searching for your comfort
In the warmth of your hugs
Sweet taste of your lips
Always searching for your familiarity
In the faces of people
On this blank date
where is the little girl
with stars in her eyes
did the older that she get
darken up her skies
did she fall for it all
behind the thin disguise
when did this little girl
believe all of the lies

where is the little girl
with stars in her eyes
did she go to the window
and close up tight the blinds
not wanting to clearly see
this world in real time
when did this little girl
fall headlong into the night

where is the little girl
with stars in her eyes
did she look at it all
then say never mind
it's not worth all the trouble
not worth all the time
when did this little girl
leave those stars behind
Her cold voice
And warm breath,
Whispers sweet nothings
Into my ears.
Those hard keys
And gentle pitch
The melodies of egress,
She sings to my fears.
What shall I find
In an angels eyes,
The fear of the devil
I see in myself.
At times it's almost deja vu
Eternity swims within

Mental illness visits too
Then the ideas begin

Bipolar is a gift, she says
But one that's hard to guide

Poem to me in dream
Then the wild ride

Maybe just the World Soul
Maybe read too many books

But maybe it was her beauty
Memory of teenage looks

Heart racing
Didn't want
This night to end
So many tears
In the past
Were full of pain
Closed my eyes
As a single drop
Released from
Sunsets & Waterfalls & Rush
From the right eye,
The first one
Of joy
I had felt
In a long time
Came streaming down in
Sunsets & Waterfalls & Rush
If this is love
Then let me drown
In your
Sunsets & Waterfalls & Rush
Can only guess
At what it must be
To feel your touch...
Sunsets & Waterfalls & Rush
