each picture captures
that moment set in stillness
an image appears
now your senses will perceive
pulling reason from the ryhme

Love has no reason
it is a mad, reckless rush
sensations astir
when a heart fills with rapture
the mind empties all judgements

buy me something sweet
you see pleasure can be bought
and it can be cheap
but comfort must be given
solace comes with truth and faith

How do I figure out how to go
I need to just exit without the show

I want to run to something new
but how can I; when I feel dark and blue

I don't want to hurt anymore
of that one thing, I am for sure

I want a life that is quiet and facile
free from heartache, scorn and hassle

I want a future that bursts into song
I need the evenings to be daring and long

I'd like my days to explode with zest
my spirit to have been deeply caressed

This is all I want; it seems so simple
why do I find it is so unachievable

his words are my joy
his voice can calm me each time
his sins matter not
his eyes show me his goodness
so now even I am his

if but halfway in
in a sense still halfway out
and when halfway up
turn round and it's halfway down
being just part of a whole

let us steal the night
yet return our innocence
let us dream of peace
but fight to release the light
we contradict our own thoughts
