Wishing wells

There's a toll he said - 

She asked him how much - 

He said it cost nothin 

I said nothins free darling 

He said my love 

I won't leave 

I sat at the gate 

Dropped my coins in the well 

Took your hand 

Watched him - 

Walk away . 

Seeds

There's a window 

Where your fingers stained clear glass 

There's me 

Watching the reflection of the future 

I can't see - 

Prints staring at me 

I can't see past them 

I see you 

Watching me 

Inbox blinks empty 

My eyes a blank screen 

Every song on the radio

Is a conversation between you 

And 

Me . 

I can't bring it back 

As the sun sets 

I can scream 

But are you listening ? 

Current

You have stolen my heart 

Sitting beneath the sunset 

Counting shapes in the skie 

Searching for the silver lining 

Of living and learning - 

I fall asleep on an empty pillow

Waiting for what the world has for me 

I'm fine 

But 

You have stolen my heart -

Bonnie and Clyde

It's a chase amongst words 

Half wisdoms - and could haves 

Hope weighs heavy on my shoulders 

It's Bonnie - it's Clyde 

I ride in the sunset 

My face in your hands 

I can't convince you - no 

I just wanted to be your home 

Houses

I sit here with a bag of hearts 

Blaming myself -  there's no place like home 

I wasn't prepared to hold hands 

With fingers broken 

Healing in the snow 

Hold me one last time 

As I feel you breathing 

Brick buildings falling away

I sit here 

Head turned to the door 

I can't spell regret 

But this good bye spells your name 

I look away 

I can't change today 

Heart beats to yesterday 

There's no place like home 

Rebuilding is never easy 

I wasn't prepared to hold hands 

With broken fingers 

But what  you couldn't see was my feet 

Safely planted on the ground 

Here to carry 

You 

Now she walks alone 

Bag of hearts broken 

There's more to this 

More to never leaving 

Swords (1)

There's the devil 

Sitting in his bed side manner ..... 

His grin catches the room 

Everything falls like sand slipping 

From an hour glasses throat - 

I turn to him 

He grins - 

We meet again - 

Tell me about the war 

As he tries to hold my hand 

I move past the shadow 

Into the light 

My blood violet 

Iris is an ocean 

I laugh 

As I continue on my path . 

Possibility

Across a broken sky 

Masked in umbrellas 

Lost in a maze - 

Pictures hang on walls 

Losing there gaze 

I search for windows 

It's raining ...... 

Find me here 

In this place 

Where trains they come 

And 

Go 

Where no one can hear me 

Run your fingers across my Braille 

I will watch behind your eyes 

As you keep my heart beating 

Suddenly I can't breathe 

No Good byes- tribute to gage seal who was killed at 15 years old

There's a hole  in the clouds 

Where you picked up my last smile 

Took it to heaven 

Did God realize you forgot 

We need you here 

Does he understand 

That every good night and good morning 

Has been lost in memory 

I can't forget it was yesterday 

When you hugged me 

Laughter catches fire and youre the wind 

Setting happiness to the world 

To the words wer'e left here to remember 

We pray - 

As you watch from above 

Nothing's the same 

The world cries 

Today it's raining .....

Rapid

I collect finger prints 

Like old news papers 

From my hands 

Left un touched 

Un washed - 

Shaken . 

If I turn away 

Will you find the smile 

Lost in the ocean

Separating you 

From 

Me 

I whisper your name 

In a summer rain 

No one sees me there alone 

Dreaming - 

I wrap his jacket around me 

I watch you laughing 

But it's in my sleep 

As I sit here collecting 

Finger prints 

From hands 

Like old news papers 

Shaken - 

Left here alone 

What Is Love

We fit in a box 

No unfinished sentence 

Or period 

No smeared or blank conversation 

We speak with out talking 

We hear with out having to listen 

There's something to be said about magic 

The way it's unfolded 

Two magnets from two ends of the earth 

Collide in one room 

Under a million circumstances 

To only be reminded that they just get it 

As one world becomes two 

Never really becoming one again 

Painted

Tracing circles around tired eyes
Watching an empty sky
I break away

Theirs a filthy canvas I paint
Can you see me hide
the music plays against the stars
as they rust from magnet skies.

Take my hand let me kiss you
even if its pretending
Ill jump from your bridge
Into everything you want to erase

Feel my finger prints
leaving scars -

Call me Eros
as arrows hail from walking dead

theirs nothing I can do
The needle was half way in when you were found ~


I am an addict just like you ......


I lie here counting stars
from with in


as I sit on your blankets
Its cold
a holocaust
sitting in your coffin
As it beats

Tracing circles
Letting me kiss you
Even if its just pretend.

Converge (1)

God gave us graces 

With mercy on her back 

I can't seem to find the road 

That leads back 

There's a mask on the sky tonight 

Hiding her secrets 

As I jot them down 

If I can see you 

Who then sees me 

As I remain in a hollow hand 

Do you understand ? 

Close your eyes 

That's where you will find me 

In the words she never said 

It's a complicated matter 

I'm sure 

As I kiss you good night 

As I find my way home 

I kiss the hearts of sailors 

Of slaves 

Of warriors 

I remain invisible 

As I rest my head 

Will you find me 

In all she left you with 

Wonderland (1)

Alice takes a swallow 

Finds herself smaller 

Reflection hauntingly shattered 

Racing to find the peices that make her 

Big 

Again 

Door handles rusted 

Leading to the hallways 

Where letters read on walls 

Are the arrows of perfection 

In reflections of those hand held 

Compilations she needs so badly 

Now the locks are locked so tightly 

The cat sits smiling 

Of all the love he never quite had 

But I know who has the key 

I'm not the one for reckoning 

I'm also not crazy 

My head is on tightly 

As I swallow it all one more time 

I had it all since the beginning 

Un - certain

Lost diaries hold secrets 

Of letters that will not return to her sender the way they were sent 

Like the way you entered the room 

The way we went 

Swept away like rain in the winter 

Thoughtless mindless 

Torn away 

Like an envelope lost from her stamp 

I have no home no address 

Left the last look 

Of the first love with no hello 

No good bye 

Tell me 

How to live 

Lost . 

Losing

I cross the ocean 

As I lie here staring at the ceiling 

My prison , a funeral holds my hand 

I can't shake her 

She sings me to sleep 

She whispers good morning 

I look past her to find your smile 

I throw on my head phones 

Streaming songs of conversations 

Run muted and shattered like this note 

Words sent under untouched lips 

I wait . 

I feel you listening . 

As I lay here 

I know you hear me . 

Heaven

On the contrary I speak in eternity 

Will you be with me 

Somewhere holding my hand 

Can you chase your fears away 

For a moment 

To hold my hands 

I'm standing now right at the beginning 

Where the world is mocking me 

I wrinkle my nose at there suggestions

That I may not be something made 

Of ashes and queens 

I wait for you ....

To come running 

To catch my smile 

To hold it safely 

Big brown eyes alone 

In the dawn 

Will you be 

My destiny 

Casualty

Rusted hurricanes settle on the floor
Whispering across rippled clouds
They color my eyes red

I'm haunted in this bed
Shadows on my skin
Stitched carefully , I breathe you in

Heart turns to smoke
Filling my empty room

Sun sets
Eyes turn black
She's bare , intentions left for her audition

I read the script
Handcuffed to eyes
That bring me in

Time nods her head
As I fall asleep again

Gains

theres the broken yellow line

Expired eyes welcome ocean iris 

As he sifts through gains and over due losses 

She holds an ocean in a locket 

Placed around her neck 

It pounds - 

It's bent . 

Who can open it ? 

He holds her 

She begins to Run 

Forgive me friend 

As I open my door . 

Your country song

I have a heart full of fight
I can sing a country song
As I watch you in the sunrise

I run even faster at the hope
You are their at the end
Sometimes forever might not work out my way

Dosent make me love you less
Or hate the good byes

Never loved like I loved you
Never lived til I lived in you

You woke me up
Gave me life

I can sing a country song
Lost against the sunrise

It's all in how you saved the day
Keep saving me every day

Believe me when I say
I'll love you to the last dawn
As she shuts her eyes

When I say my last good bye
You will be there
I will run to the sun rise hoping
Til the end
Just a chance to see you again

You stole my soul / mate
Your all I'll ever want in the midst of hell
To the heaven above
You are my hero

This is my country song
I'll sing it to my dying day

So here it is
She wanders the streets at night
Haunted by good byes
Always running to the sunrise

Castles

I sleep with a ghost
Waiting upon the return of the dead
I'm there in your back pocket
As you walk the path so uncertain

Will you come back
My smile waits for you
My heart lies somewhere in the graffiti painted by your hands
There is nothing left

Will someone take your place ?
The empty seat you left
Do you feel me crashing
All around you
Feel me
When your gone

This castle is wrapped in caution tape
They see the sign
I sit on the steps

It's crazy I know
In the waiting
Waiting for the ghost

Who built every stone
Even if I wait alone
Until it all comes crashing down

No one Is to enter in
Just close your eyes
Feel me here
Where we once stood

Now evicted
Im left here singing this song
Watching the road

Til I'm dead

Til I rebuild this all again
