Love the Giver

Twilight in symphony
it’s as well its what you don’t see
So plain you’re impatient now I wait in your eyes
It’s in the way that your love is forgiving…

Ageless your time won’t come
you’re as beautiful as the sun
Tables they turn so slow
you were once now you burn

It’s in the way that love is forsaken…
now you see the profit …
how do you regret?

“Bring your mortar back I want to seal the eyes, the lines, and cracks…tell me I’m not loved…I love the giver of my soul”

It’s in the way that love is forsaken you’ve seen the progress now do you regress?

It’s in the way that your love is forbidden you’ve seen this progress…If I blame, its not my fault…

It’s on the outside.

Everafter

Time and the Maiden

Is it real, can I see you?
Or is it just elusive dreaming?
Far and away are you
Am I here in your breath?

Remnants of where you are I am
Lost and how I wait for you …holding on

After all this time I still carry my heart blind
oh I am killing time with liars … its all this time

It’s in your voice
all we are is nowhere that I am
Lonely and I still wait for you …holding on

After all this time I still carry my heart blind
oh I am killing time with liars …it’s only time
All this time recreating my mind
…eyes open wide
…to all this crime…

After all this time I still carry my heart blind
After all this time I am still blind,
Still Killing time with liars

All this time recreating my mind…all this time

Mercy

Holding open time to rest awhile
I am playing in the darkness of warm July
Tryst between the scenes not happy,
as it seems you play with forgiveness

for wicked schemes

I know years ago
I know now…
You seem like some devil
You play like some god

Clean before the stream to innocence you cling
the beauty in the crime is you don’t feel; a thing

Scars we wore years ago hurt now
You seemed like some devil
And you prayed like you were god

These roses form a ring around your cell
in these ashes
we all fall down
Hold on to the divine we’ll all fall down.

Stars I wished on years ago burnt out

You seemed like some devil
You played like some god

These roses form a ring around our selves in the ashes we all fall down
Hold on to the divine we’ll all fall down.

Everafter

The sun stole your heart and

then left you in the sane world
I do realize I’m often vague
The shore smells the sweetest when all that is left your pale your dry
And I do recognize I’m often vain

Eros stole your words and you weren’t the same
-not scared of time
and I do recognize there is more than fate
the souls never-ending and worth the wait-

It’s safe to fly

I do recognize this old souls face

Everafter… I do believe in Everafter. I do

Majesty

Knew you were born under a waxing moon

Wide eyed and waiting for most the view
Sharper than moonlight
All is one
“Heaven awaits you now..hope you find our door”
Eyes pressed tightly, waltz with stars
The sweeter now must move on
Your words are so beguiling …all is right this
“Heaven and constancy” I hope you learned
Can I hold you in pages adore you your words

they have power over me
I have dreamed of your majesty
The pain of this illusion comforts me
it reminds me of how well I was, the next to leave
earching for a heart as ripe as your smile
I have left you here hope you hide me
Can hold you in pages I adore you these words
they cast this feeling over me
Can I know you in pages enthrall you in words

that have this power over me

Eventide

Run for words I nearly catch fire
radiate slumber in this quest I’m your wire
Running for ways I mouth that I’m scared
radiate wonder this flesh just your fringe

Fear these chains are all I have tonight
so I simply forgive
Rings have made you sigh in the work of my
Waiting for word I nearly catch fire
never quite noticed you quench and I’m you lighter

Fear these chains are all I have tonight
some forgive and some forget rings of pages sigh
In the work of my own life that I

Enter this this halo
Do you deny this kind of love
If you were once Cain or Abel
Then you recite this bolder life
Through this wide open heart
Do you believe this “dying we part”
Do you believe this

Fear these chains are all I wear tonight

some forgive some forget rings of pages signs
in the work of my own life was my gift to you

Fear these chains are all I have tonight
so I simply forgive.
In the work of my own life I give to you

Iolite

Aisle of fire
close to you and desire
I’m half way home

The worst stings in life have left me numb
Please don’t leave this disaster
The hummingbird as my imposter

Aching sighs

To the words and the writing
I’m blind

Ghosts run in my angels eyes
Sing words so soft from my mind
Believe the eyes of iolite

Please don’t believe the way they want you to leave
Blaming arms are better I think left alone

Ghost ride in my angels eyes
steal words so soft from my mind
believe in the eyes of iolite

“Tell you why I won’t cry
Tempted by life
Want this strife I suppose
Tell you know
I was light, Iolite”

Elysium

Paradise where have you gone
I long so to see your shore
I have to wait it makes my eyes sore
Sinking more all the time
Blessed by your request on high

I was lied to
Wrought by learning less from outside
I had a right to bruise
Baited and wily the moon it always opens up for me
I’m lost in this mirror of sorts
a warrior without words.
Growing cold

I’ve traded wine for Elysium

I’ve traded souls stone to gray
I’m half-aware with my mind closed
thinking more all the time

Blessed by my new quest on high
I was lied to
Taught by the Prophets from our skies
I fell in to truth

Baited and wily oh Luna can’t you open up for me

I’m lost in this mirror of sorts a warrior without war
growing cold

Baited and wily
oh luna can’t you shine the way for me
I’m lost in this mirror of souls a warrior without war

I am aching so wildly
oh luna can’t you shine the way
for me I am lost in this mirror of souls I’m without words.

Going home
Paradise where have you gone
I long so, to see your shore.

Bittersweet

Lock of time hidden in my breath
Of things real and things I’ve dreamt

Holding hearts in balance it is like
Maybe we were once intertwined
Raising souls up to the moon as we

Rise again,
Maybe then we will meet
Only tides are racing through your mind
Make a wish and then goodbye
Charlatans in the ruse tonight

Where heat and light touch the sky
And the sun is rising slow there’s more to write
Lock of time written in my heart
Why were we once torn apart
Only tides are racing through your mind and each
time we meet it’s bittersweet

Blinking Tears

Once there was time
It lay in front of me
With tendrils and curves of what was yet to be
Afraid of the beast, not in the least

A heart for a brain and lips sweet again
with the taste of life
Slumber through the years
where hurt stings blinking tears

and dark hides my skin from the sun and yet again
Its those who dare to really get in
that feed me with their eyes
Those who dare to really get in
that feed me with their smile

But it’s no, never enough
It could burn like white light but it’s not enough
It can burn like white light, it’s never enough

Now there is time to lay in blame with me
and despite all I write you live well
It seems to me
Those who dare to really get in
they feed me with their eyes
Its those who dare to really get in
that feed me with their smile

But it’s no, never enough

It can burn like fire still its not enough

No it’s not, it’s not enough.
It can burn like fire its never enough
