Run
My dearest
Entangled in my thoughts
Keeper of my heart
Where have you run To?
An impression lingers
Beside me on this empty bed
Yet I know it will eventually fade
Just as our love had
My dearest where have you run to?
Away from the pain?
Or away from my grasp
As long as these stars fall
I will miss you
My dearest
Until the day I find the courage
To run away
And finally
find you

Cold crisp dew
dripping down the window seal to my left
and the one I love
laying silently beside me
wearing her silk dress
I bought her when we were kids
death is certain
but so is love

Plead onto me
The sins I can see
Your mind can be saved
But your heart, it must bleed

Down to the depths
Of the halls I was cast
My spirit lives there
As a phantom of past

Tell me one thing
And I will let you go
Scream onto me
What you're not willing to show

Why sentence to death
When angels fall from above
A punishment for life
Is your punishment for love

Now remove of your mask
And I will set you free
So darkness may dance
And join hands with me

Eternity won't sound so bad
In a land without time
Until you hear that soft voice
And find out that it's mine

Forecast eternity onto my soul
As a book scribed in circles
May you splice what knowledge
GOD
Has to offer
Or retract your quivering brow
For in the lands of time
MAN
Will rule forever
Tempt not this fortune you seek
For, echoes of the dead
Travel endlessly
Hand in hand
With the living

I'm going insane
Voices in my brain
Tell me to quit
Alone in the rain

Give me a hand
Even if its cold
I'll give you mine
Then we'll grow old

One of us gets sick
And the other cries
How can I lay here
As the one I love dies

Let me know
What more I can do
Because I love you
And I know you do too

Your final day on earth
I made you my wife
I'm so glad to have met you
I'll remember you for life

Thousands of sunsets
And even more tears
I'll capture it all
While I conquer my fears

This one's for you
As you'll always be a friend
I'll  never forget you
And I hope to see you again
Brandon Cotter Sep 2017
Care to fill me in?
Or was this always your plan?
Tossing me away
As a piece of trash
Drifting at winds whim

I just would like to say
That I did
I did love you
Even though it's too late
Much too late now

When you change your mind
I won't be here for you
After tears are dried
After friends are gone
After life has ended

I will wear the smile
You gave to me
When we first met
And you told me
Forever

Midnight summers gale flows hand in hand amongst the waves
Dancing under moonlight awaiting our blistering star
Every crash mimicked as wind gallops swiftly midst it’s wake
An unbreakable bond with nature and life
Swaying for eternity composed of one another’s soul
As wind howls louder unleashing a barrage of force
The vast sea answers with swells that dwarf mountains
Back and forth calamitous waves sink and rise
Diving beyond the depths of known and rising high for the moon
Leaping into the air knowing the wind will catch her before she falls
Thunderous roars crack holes in sound and space
As lightning fills the voids to all ends of its existence
Sacrificing everything for sound Whilst it echoes endlessly
Soaring through the skies of humanity, widening so gently
Covering all known as a blanket of vibrating love
To caress and nurture all beings to rest
Upon our final pirouette, just as our star rises into view
My breeze calms to a whisper
Your tranquil sea envelopes the land
Daybreak welcomes warmth and serenity as we rest
That is until I see you again under the glowing stars
Hand in hand we will dance
As wind
And water
