BELOVED SOMEDAY

on strange soil I have wandered

knelt with sinners

danced with saints

sang among the roses for

my beloved

someday

red the seas

black the skies

grey the blades in my eyes

bright the sun that burns the name

I cannot bear to say

my beloved

someday

on this shore I have

wasted away

underneath my fading star

never ever coming too close

never ever straying too far from

my beloved

someday

black the seas

red the skies

that flow down and drown my bootless cries

run from the fires that scream the name

I will never say

my beloved

someday

my beloved

someday

Loss

I hide inside your dreams

pure and perfect

unbroken

unlike mine

holding on so tightly with both hands

the lifeline slips and burns

spinning around on the mercy go round

driven to the ground

at a loss for words

alabaster skin

illuminates the sins

committed in my name

unspeakable

unrepeatable

unrepentable

holding on so tightly with both hands

the lifeline slips and burns

spinning around on the mercy go round

driven to the ground

at a loss for words

STARS IN MY EYES

falls the night on anxious ground

hope rises

yet eludes both lost and found

enter the dream

soft fading faces

that drift and settle into hidden places

I will wait for you

I won’t breathe

I won’t move

I’ll keep a close watch upon the skies

with my heart in my hands and

the stars in my eyes

slip the years past in silence

stealing all my memories

leaving empty moments

locked away

turning to stone

standing with so many

yet always alone

I will wait for you

I won’t breathe

I won’t move

I’ll keep a close watch upon the skies

with my heart in my hands and

the stars in my eyes

I will wait for you

I won’t breath

I won’t move

I’ll keep a close watch upon the skies

with your blood on my hands and

my tears full of goodbye.

SHADES OF SORROW

falling into daydreams

filled with nights of paper skin

lying back, tossing and turning

voiceless

once again

paint my face on your window

look at your world through me

color your days the shades of my sor-

row

my lines are drawn for all to see

Suddenly smaller in your hands

lit by the light of your scars

remade and molded

softly sculpted

into something more fragile by far

paint my face on your window

look at your world through me

color your days the shades of my sor-

row

my lines are drawn for all to see

YOUR WINTER

in the fields of glorious grief

lay me down my soul to keep

the stones hold no comfort for my disbelief that your

winter has made a believer

out of me

I reach for you

but you are nowhere near

I call to you

but you can’t hear

If I were anywhere but here

I would find you

I would find you

I would find you

I would…

even in my dreams you turn from me

in my last place for hope mercy is denied me

cast out on vast lonely sea

how far I am from me

turn to you

turn to air

turn to you

nothing there

I reach for you

but you are nowhere near

your song echoes but the words aren’t clear

If I were anywhere but here

I would find you

I would find you

I would…

for I am

half a heart

half a whole

half a life

half a soul

you are where I go to bleed

SAFE HAVEN

nowhere to hide

turn everywhere inside out

upside down

far and wide

every moment gets heavy and

clings to the vine

slowly on dirt roads

coming closer louder

close your eyes

find somewhere anywhere

before they arrive

down the back staircase

into the twilight searching the skies

star light star bright

first star I see tonight

shine on safe haven

small among the trees

blending in the shadows

so still in the ground

let’s be mice

silent tiny mice

make not a sound

down the back staircase

into the twilight searching the skies

star light star bright

first star I see tonight

shine on safe haven

HIDDEN

I exist only for you

live for your eyes

end where you begin

I’m still standing in your shadow

all I’ve ever wanted

all I’ve ever been

all I’ve ever been

I find comfort in your image of me

I’m perfect in shades of gray

grace in silence

hidden from her eyes

and the light of day

and the light of day

ENDING

again

once more

all I ask

nothing more

days pass

soon will come

the last remembering

the ending

again

once more

to be

as before

days pass

I welcome the last

yearning

the last tide turning

again

once more

again

once more
