Solitude

When it's over
When it's time
There'll be no bells
No angel choirs

Nor the tinkle
Of shattered pieces
Slipping through
Guilty fingers

There may be tears
There'll be emotions
Words exchanged
Blows felt

But there'll always
Be solitude
An empty quiet
That lays in wait

No noise, no peace
Just emptiness
A sense of loss
A growing hole

When it's over
There'll be no prayers
No mercy for me
None for the in-between

Crash

I tried to forget about it
I tried my best to ignore it
To keep it out, away
This pain within

Got lost again while trying
From searching now I'm crawling
Fell fast and hard, away
I've crashed again

But in our rush
We got lost

Carry me home
Don't let me fall apart
When the rain is gone
Won't you keep me warm

Leave your light on
To guide me on the way
Something I can rely on
To turn the night into the day

The night may pass
The heart will last
We'll live through the crash

I've tried to reason the heart
I've tried to try the ways
I've tried to go down easy
But I just can't win

I couldn't stop your tears fallen
When each promise lay broken
You've been through hell
For my lofty sin

But in our rush
We lay crashed

A Haunting Love

Was it you
Who looked me right in the eyes
And said that you
Would never see me cry

Was it me
Who reached out for your hand
And said that we
Would never say goodbye

In between we've lived
Through heaven
And burning hell
Refusing to let this die

When one was in pain
Another would wish
To take their place
To soothe the hurt, or just try

Would we have thought
That when no one else
Could or would understand
The stroy behind why we cry

When all we knew
Feels all so temporary
Fragile tenderness
Like a bird waiting to fly

Put out your heart
And rest your hands
On our ethereal love
And let the world pass on by

And remember
It was you, and it was me
Who said, hush now
This truth is only yours and mine

Music

When dusty souls
That have oft wandered
And turned every corner
In search of worthy wonder

Driven by hunger
Pursued by yearning
Hearts that refused quiet
To feel the fire burning

But alas the night oft falls
In a silent guilty hush
To leave no gold or silver
After the blur of day's rush

Let not your ears and heart
Lay down their arms
To give in or up in the silence
Against all that may come

There shall be one
A magic though small
It would still move
Each heart she calls

Listen! To all the things
She is trying to say
Let the music in your soul
And she won't be far away

Let each beat urge your heart
Each note dance for you
Each crescendo bring you close
And feel her warmth bring you home

Music, oh how she still moves
In mysterious ways
To sing along and away
These nights into days

Come take me away
Please take me away
Through the nights and days
Please say that you'll stay

Dreaming In Red

I had a dream, once
I was in an alley, smoking
On a dank November night
Under a old streetlamp, waiting

Your set had just started
I could hear the trumpet sighing
You should be in the wings now
A pearl in this dark clam stirring

Today, you are a passionate red
Your marble skin and crown opaline
But each time I feel you pass
I still drown in your sultry wine

I dragged out deep
On my only thread to sanity
The smoke from my cigarette
Calm the nervous soul within

It is jazz of Shanghai that you sing
But hints of abandon that you give
Each night I help you to the stage
Each night you give me a little more to live

Under the orange glow, I linger
Dreaming to your whisky-laced purr
Wishing that there was a way
For me to take you away from here

No more nights at seedy joints
No more parading to the wolves
Though somehow I think you know
Your appetite I could never soothe

Ever since I had that dream
It’s never been the same
I heard your sighing everywhere
And my soul whispers your name

The Heart

We've always looked to the skies
And to things our eyes cannot see
With hands and borrowed words
We'll try to keep our hearts afloat

But there'll be no startling signs
That fate has finally found me
No thunder breaks above
No holy script to serve

You told me the heart will prove it all
It'll make the sense within
Even as the mountains wear and fall
Let our faith build the bridges in between

Beyond seasons, the time and tide
As wrinkles claw our skin
We'll stand true with our hearts beating alive
Let truth become our guide

But I remember black skies
The night that fell around me
I remember the cold
How my heart began to hurt

I searched with prayers
That you will finally find me
When it all began to blur
Your voice was all I heard

You told me the heart will prove it all
It'll make the sense within
Even reason shall bend and fail
Let the beats build the bridges in between

Beyond seasons, the time and tide
As sands sweep across our skin
We'll stand true with one beating rhyme
And let our hearts be our guide

Twilight Rose

Twilight rose
Oh, twilight rose
I love your enigma
How it soothes my soul

Against a crown
Of purple white clouds
You shyly peek
Your whiskey brow

Warm, yes you are
You touch me so
With a sincere blush
Trimmed in gold

Twilight rose
Please say that you'll stay
I know that you'll come
Only once on each day

In such sweet rapture
We meet for just a while
But you'll always go
Leaving me your sorbet smile

Twilight rose
Oh, twilight rose
Please come back
I miss you so
