You have a home inside my heart
Where you live when we're apart
A place where you will always be
Forever and eternity

You have a home inside my mind
Where comfort you will always find
A place from which you'll never stray
As time passes day by day

You have a home inside my eyes
Where love will thrive and never die
Visions of a walk on a beach
A scene my eyes shall always reach

You have a home within my arms
Where you're protected from all harm
A place where you can feel secure
When life may make you feel unsure

You have a home upon my lips
A kiss to give your heart a skip
A passion that could never fade
A love that always is conveyed

You have a home within my soul
Whenever you feel out of control
A place that you'll forever be inside
Loved and cared for by my side

And so it was we came to be
In a manner so unusually
Drawn together through the game
Hearts together in a frame

And so it was we came to know
The seeds of love beginning to grow
Thriving through an unyielding screen
A storybook love seldom seen

And so it was we came to share
Emotional, physical, and mental fare
Spent years, months, and endless hours
Secret room painted sunflowers

And so it was we came to feel
Thorns of reality ever so real
Words and intent began to misfire
Emotions hazy through the mire

And so it was we came to fear
Self protective behavior became clear
The walls had now begun to grow
Attempting to strangle our love's flow

And so it was we tried to heal
The guise of friendship, and deny what was real
Repressed expression and filtered voice
Pretending to be content and rejoice

And so it brings us to today
A celebration of love's brutal ways
A vow to love and then to part
Your name imprinted on my heart

And so it was we said goodbye
Not holding back the tears we cry
A promise kept to fade away
A lie to you I will convey

I song my songs to no one
While not completely true
The public hears me sing my songs
Unaware I sing for you

As I sing about the Queen and love
Now I risk the fear
Of getting through the lyrics
While holding back a tear

The songs I wrote have meaning
No one can really see
A metaphoric yet real ocean
Unable to keep you away from me

While nature's cruel barrier
Wasn't able to keep us apart
A different way of moving forward
Is what shredded up my heart

We've expressed our love through lyrics
A passion we've both shared
Now I  stop myself from sending songs
To show how much I care

You became for me my muse
Gave me creative spark
Providing passion all around
A contrast that was stark

While sharing lots of laughter
As well as many tears
A monumental experience
That's spanned throughout the years

What I thought an unending connection
We watched our children grow
We came to know what was unknown
With so little left to show

I sing my songs for no one
While my heart will have to mend
I'll continue on to sing my songs
While learning to pretend

There was a time in my life
When I started to lose my will to try
From the darkness in which I fell
I tried to run and hide from myself
Then you came to me like a sparkling melody
Bearing me your soul to be one with me

Morning angel you came into my life
Like a songbird to kiss the morning sky
I'm loving you tenderly
Morning angel who touched my will to try
Who flies away yet never leaves my side
I'm missing you, I'm loving you

I was alone within a crowd
I did some things that didn't make me proud
My heart was numb, my thoughts were cold
I didn't think I needed someone to hold
Then you filled my life with a precious harmony
Giving me your love to be one with me

Morning angel you came into my life
Like a songbird to kiss the morning sky
I'm loving you tenderly
Morning angel who touched my will to try
Who flies away yet never leaves my side
I'm missing you, I'm loving you

Then you made with me a song of love to sing
To rejoice in all the happiness you bring

Morning angel you came into my life
Like a songbird to kiss the morning sky
I'm loving you tenderly
Morning angel who touched my will to try
Who flies away yet never leaves my side
I'm missing you, I'm loving you endlessly

The heart has
two chambers-
one is open.
the other, shut

with regard
to the latter
the owner
has the key
but courage
he lacks
to open such-
therein
is his secret
beyond the darkest
of dark

Conflicts of illusion
A puzzle torn apart
I didn't mean to break your little heart
Seeds of indecision
Won't always foster change
Life can be so strange
And we must rearrange

Time to start a new life
Time to break away
All the love we shared has gone away

Truth is distant sorrow
Loss is imminent gain
I didn't mean to cause your life such pain
Time is an obsession
Life an unreal play
A message to convey
But no words left to say

Time to start a new life
Time to break away
All the love we shared has gone

Passion like a river flowing
It's wild and free
When there's no passion left inside
It's time to leave

Time to start a new life
Time to break away

It's not the slang for money
It's not levels of separation for Kevin
While it may sound funny
It a slice of heaven

It sizzles like no other
The flavor smokey and big
And if I had my druthers
I would just become a pig

My loving tri colored beagle
Of the last seventeen years
My rambunctious little darling
Who has lapped up all my tears

You've been a great companion
An enormous part of my life
You've seen me through triumphs
You've been there through strife

My mischievous sweetheart
Who un"squeaked" every toy
My little treat monger
That's brought me such joy

Your brown fur now gray
Your pace now so slow
A gift so precious
A love you bestow

You have touched my heart
Like it's been your mission
Faithful love
Without condition

I fear the day you'll not be here
I'll certainly fall apart
But I promise to always hold you
Deep inside my heart

Trapped in a vessel
Body broken
Mind slipping
An existence of pain and discomfort
Short, temporary flashes
Of a former existence
That can be seen in the eyes
In a smile
Or in a few lucid words
That harks back to another time
Trapped in a vessel
Unable to make decisions for yourself
Those decisions falling on ones close to you
Which are monumental
Hoping the right decisions are made
That you would choose for yourself if possible
Trapped in a vessel
Body broken
Mind slipping
Not a place I ever wanted to be

I once met a little miss
We traveled hours for a kiss
I was so excited
I couldn't quite hide it
It was truly a moment of bliss

We met in the summer for a date
I was planning on making her wait
My hand on her hips
How soft were her lips
Romantic.... there was no debate

Our kiss so very divine
Suspended in a moment of time
Emotions so bare
Couldn't come up for air
To not kiss would have been a crime

This kiss shook me to the core
Like it was from romantic lore
Holding her so tight
It just felt so right
If only I could kiss her once more
