Pure oasis in the desert's heat
shimmering pools of possibility
How woefully and thoughtfully you deceive
guided by hidden reciprocity
Your breeze betrays my patient stride
luring me to linger in confusion
Onward you follow; distrust married with pride
and seek waterfalls tainted by illusions
Trickling down foundation for integrity
you harden your resolve like steel
without love's pure equality
or the impossible chance to fulfill...
Newborn rivers cry tears like my dreams
masked in sultry perfection
To breathe, to take
should we finally awake
and taste of this sweetened spring
But suddenly my thirst to appreciate
disappears like your waning, doubting faith
and leaves me with nothing but dust and wind:
more unspoken words to contemplate

How
Tell me how one sunrise,
one sunset
climbing and falling
reaching up and lying down
into the arms of the earth's
promise -
a new day, a strong hope
a quiet night, a deep sleep...
golden glorious beginning
predicted permanent end to the past
creates one everlasting future
of yesterday?
Tell me how one war,
one peace
willing and writhing
living and dying
into the memories of
our faiths -
a better way, a religion
a chosen people, a disappearing world...
Written on stones or
taught in temples
finds one true belief
of tomorrow
one sunset
climbing and falling
reaching up and lying down
into the arms of the earth's
promise -
a new day, a strong hope
a quiet night, a deep sleep...
golden glorious beginning
predicted permanent end to the past
creates one everlasting future
of yesterday?
Tell me how one war,
one peace
willing and writhing
living and dying
into the memories of
our faiths -
a better way, a religion
a chosen people, a disappearing world...
Written on stones or
taught in temples
finds one true belief
of tomorrow
Afterthought
Promises unkept
while life is swept away
Dreams are lost forever
did you believe them anyway
And restless is your mind
searching for a friend
climbing through the years
patient for the end
Take your soul down
to the fields of blue
Find the place you need
where happiness once grew
If you trust one more time
and set your heart free
Reach out your hand
You'll find me
while life is swept away
Dreams are lost forever
did you believe them anyway
And restless is your mind
searching for a friend
climbing through the years
patient for the end
Take your soul down
to the fields of blue
Find the place you need
where happiness once grew
If you trust one more time
and set your heart free
Reach out your hand
You'll find me
Silk
Red silk like tears
upon my face
leave me in
this restless peace
Without your hand
to guide me sleep
I cannot will
my strength to keep
Black silk like sorrow
brings you near
the road runs narrow
paved with care
Within fate's grasp
I lay to rest
the doubting cost
of faithlessness
White silk like love
makes your bride
a distant joy
will bring new life
Visions and dreams
will find their place
and finally know
the choice we made
upon my face
leave me in
this restless peace
Without your hand
to guide me sleep
I cannot will
my strength to keep
Black silk like sorrow
brings you near
the road runs narrow
paved with care
Within fate's grasp
I lay to rest
the doubting cost
of faithlessness
White silk like love
makes your bride
a distant joy
will bring new life
Visions and dreams
will find their place
and finally know
the choice we made
Her Shadow
Reaching for your hand
a coldness breathes destiny
My own heart faithfully frozen
within an icy womb of longing
Calling out to you
for a reprieve of my senses
lost and worn down
like a forgotten melting snow
Did you notice
the moon cast her shadow
upon my thoughts
just before I dreamt of you
And that light
from horizon's patriarch
remains loyal to the future
while begging for the dream
to begin somehwere in our minds
But a coldness breathes destiny
and my hands can't reach so far
seasons still bring rain
and I miss the quiet snow
a coldness breathes destiny
My own heart faithfully frozen
within an icy womb of longing
Calling out to you
for a reprieve of my senses
lost and worn down
like a forgotten melting snow
Did you notice
the moon cast her shadow
upon my thoughts
just before I dreamt of you
And that light
from horizon's patriarch
remains loyal to the future
while begging for the dream
to begin somehwere in our minds
But a coldness breathes destiny
and my hands can't reach so far
seasons still bring rain
and I miss the quiet snow
Whisper
The softest kiss upon your brow
leaves no remorse of solemn vow
Candles burning throughout the night
take leave of love by morning's light
The softest whisper into your ear
calms the silence within your tear
Music serenading your restless mind
as the same notes play outside of time
The softest touch upon your skin
remembers the way it once began
And the beautiful smile that adorns your face
reveals the understanding for my fall from grace
leaves no remorse of solemn vow
Candles burning throughout the night
take leave of love by morning's light
The softest whisper into your ear
calms the silence within your tear
Music serenading your restless mind
as the same notes play outside of time
The softest touch upon your skin
remembers the way it once began
And the beautiful smile that adorns your face
reveals the understanding for my fall from grace
Broken Bow
To watch you set sail
without a word
You have the strength
with visions blurred
and into the night
though storm carries your heart
heavy and sinking
ship torn apart
Water is wrath
Heaven's beauty doth lie
inside of the dream
that once met the sigh
Of the morning's calm
and the waters still rising
while sleeping and forgetting
her face
her touch
her eyes -so hypnotizing
Broken bow
and chosen arrow
Strike once in her heart
and prolong her sorrow
Onward you drift
away from her hand
leaving the past
for a lonely tomorrow
without a word
You have the strength
with visions blurred
and into the night
though storm carries your heart
heavy and sinking
ship torn apart
Water is wrath
Heaven's beauty doth lie
inside of the dream
that once met the sigh
Of the morning's calm
and the waters still rising
while sleeping and forgetting
her face
her touch
her eyes -so hypnotizing
Broken bow
and chosen arrow
Strike once in her heart
and prolong her sorrow
Onward you drift
away from her hand
leaving the past
for a lonely tomorrow
