Hollowed

Hollowed and empty

My flight will not hold

No touch will be comfort

No place there to dwell

Breathless with fright

Free falling, to no sight

I’ve drowned out the sound

With abiding malaise 

I’ve come to a place

Never known by grace

Deserted in deserts 

The skins become weathered

The souls become desperate 

This place is my master

Now,

Vague in a daze 

I’m failing without grace

The plains never end

The sky a deep haze

This eery yellow light

An entity without life

Entrapped in a fate

That lacks all faith

Coincidences surrounding

I hate with no restraint

Below the land is haunting

Below the sea is drenched

A land that’s quite barren

A forever nameless place

And the time will not pass

The time will not pass

Let it Be

Let it be

Let it be

Let it be

Don’t bother me

Don’t ask for me

Don’t call my name, or beckon me

Don’t bless the broken

Don’t fix the unknown

Let it be

Let it be

Let not the bad

Be a forgotten thing

since only a rose was found

Let it not waste

This broken beauty

Remember that it came with thorns

It ripped your flesh

and bled your soul

Let it be

Let it be

Let it be

Unheard

It’s hard to sleep

It’s hard to be

It’s hard to see with clarity

Beside my bed

Beside my head

I heard a cold reality

Sweet Scent of Rose

Sweet Scent of Rose

It’s hard to convey how sad I’ve become

It’s hard to convey the difficulty to breathe

That air is restricting

That sleep isn’t rest

That foods become poison

That life’s gone to rest

Down With The Deep

I saw her face

To say I was young

Would be 

To call it fate

Love does not stop

At bumps in the road

It isn’t hindered by shut doors

It knocks, not with fright

But with a look of care

Sweat and tears

Made her river flow deep

But the depth is so sweet

I bathe in the sun

I soak in the water

My own was but a puddle

She left a shuffle

But I dug deep

Into the soil

To say I drowned

Would be but a saying

But with one so traveled 

I was safe to let it in

Love does not stop

At bumps in the road

It isn’t hindered by shut doors

It knocks, not with fright

But with a look of care

Though the ink speaks loud

Though mistakes are made

Lines crossed out

To never be re-written

With a grain of salt

That’s how we’ll flow

Down with the deep

That’s how we’ll go

It's Your Own

It’s done.
You brought the dark.
I'm closed, cut off

so I take flight in
 this dreadful night.

My misery, my hope

If only,

you'd call it a mistake

then run,
run, and let me go.

but there you sit,
that solitary man
you so strive to be.

When you don't choose me,
miss me,

miss me more

then the consecutive fifth

let me make your night dark

Go down that path

you so desperately seek

That hot and cold soul

You so call your own

This falls at your door,
that I will never be mine.

I am all that is Lost

I am all that is lost

I am all you have to loose

And I will fade with the sun

To rise with the moon,

To dance with the wind,

Where love was to be

Is all that is lost

So come the wind, fire and rain

Strike it,

Burn it,

Suffocate the last of it!

Earthly things, 

Come take this damn light away

You see,

I am all that is lost,

I am all that was to be,

I am all you wanted, 

Forsake the being of me!

Cavern Affairs

If only the time, 

Would stop for thine

And let yourself be free

To yield to what is drawn in there

Deep down in your cavern affairs

Give way what you want

Your will to sing free

If only you, 

Could understand

The way I want 

Your soul 

Our bodies in heat

The way I want

You and I entwined

If only you,

Would understood

That I see potential

In that where you’re empty

You see, I know

I know! 

That though you call 

Yourself to be free

You really are bottled

Trapped in your own, 

A sea of anxiety 

In unconscious dreams

If only in time,

That we do not have 

Would you come to love

Let not the fear that dwells

Let not your heart be blind

But match my own

For that which you see

You understand to know

Red Lips

There was a time–for which no hope was demise

Habitual ways were far from forlorn

The sun came up–and down it went

With sweetness of crimson cranes

The color dripped lips–they kissed a soul

Two mingled in space, of unspoken lows

No flesh so radiant of sun and light

The heart of a lion

The strength, possession, much unrealized

One of soft skin–to awaken the solider

Each one to their own–still to be discovered

Let fingertips touch fingertips

Let warmth flow through them

Let worries and cares–blow out the window

Down with the wind

Through forest and wisterias

Let all that does not last–pass

Let light prevail–where only dark has been known

You're Playing Cards

These are lyrics to my song


When she’s drinking you’re playing cards, and I’m somewhere in between. 

When I dance, you’re not dancing and the card games stop, and the drinking moves on. 

So where’s your smile and laugh now? 

Now you realize you forgot to listen and life’s already moved on, and you’re the one with the empty bottle, and the torn cards, and I with the heart of stone. 

It was inevitable, 

it was inevitable but did you see it coming? 

When she’s drinking you’re playing cards, and I’m somewhere in between. 

Did you realize you chose your poison, like I did, or did you think I put it in your hand? With this love, found in the dance, this heart of stone will melt. 

So where’s your smile and laugh now? 

Now you realize you forgot to listen and life’s already moved on, and you’re the one with the empty bottle, and the torn cards, and I with the heart of stone.

Please, just let me go.
