Sea of Heartbreak

Lost at sea of heartbreak

Ocean of despair

Sour tears of loneliness

Catch currents in the air

Raging for a moment

Then timidly it fades

Time stands still around such thoughts

Dreams cut like razor blades

Spines hold callused fingertips

Not rugged, roughened steel

The demons came out yesterday

Preparing for their meal

Today they feast on love and hope

Devour sunny days

They live off greed and faulty truth

Sordid are their ways

Sneak around and eat the flesh

From tattered, beaten souls

Rip away what they’ve got left

Rake them onto coals

Fiery furnace raptures

Screams no longer heard

Underbelly of the beast

Chows down every word

No surrender to the monsters
Promise lingers on
Though blood laced visions moan and drip

Sing a righteous song

True hearts stand together

Never claim defeat

Breathe courage

Live strength

Take leaps of faith

Angels don't retreat

Here you Are

Fancy office

Shiny car

Flashy jet

“…Here you are”

Champagne bubbles

Catching dreams

Diamond mirrors

Catwalk scenes

Studded parties

VIP

Rock that

Red carpet

Paparazzi

Hummer limo

Rising star

La-la-living

Here you are

Chandelier kisses

Crystal glass

Professional friend

To wipe your ass

Come in peace

Stay in fear

Never so alone

As you are… here

The Well

I’m a quitter

Loser

Failure

Wouldn’t know me if I tried,

I use to think

I kind of

Maybe

Had a sense of pride

But that fell down

Into the well

Before the bucket dropped to catch,

I spun the wheel

With all my might

Man, that rope could stretch

Muscles churned

Red skin burned

Soft tears

Mixed with

Rough sweat

Though hard I tried

The rope gave way

I lost my only friend

He flew straight down

That black abyss

Like many other men

I’m left alone

To fight in vain

A battle to the end

My guts

I rip

And turn

And twist

The hunger digs in deep,

When this is through

I’ll get to you

Then maybe

We can sleep

Stars

Lying in a field that glistens
Under starry midnight skies
Laughing at the Mason jar
We've filled with fireflies
Turning up the radio
So we don't have to think
Is this real?
Or will we part in tune
With one innocent blink?

As i look away you tell me
Baby, please remember this
Before you speak
You ruggedly
Embrace me for a kiss

You can be an inspiration
You can be a shooting star
You can rise above all obstacles
You're special, babe
You are
You're a dreamer in a dungeon
You're a fighter in the ring
You're a talent torn by truth
And you're a voice that's meant to sing

So gather strength and courage
From the comfort of my arms
Revive yourself with crystal rain
Let light burst into stars
What has worth will not come easy
So don't ever give up
Pour your wisdom into loving souls
Who wish to fill their cups

There's beauty deep inside, dear
And there's magic all around
Love
You've got the right idea
Let yourself be found

Liquid

You dance around in circles

As you stretch towards the shore

Bending

Twisting

Lifting up

What once was here no more

You’ve got a million faces

I’ve made a million more mistakes

Things in time may crash and fall

There’s beauty in the break

We can stand before our demons

Because shadows won’t suffice

Drop in on this together

Crystal blue

Our souls unite

Deliver me from darkness

Baby, hold me

At my peak

Splash life’s charms

Around my face

Kiss my salty cheeks

Hold my spirit in your beauty

Swirl around my toes

Spit me out

In liquid love

Forever, your mystique

You dance around in circles

As you stretch towards the shore

Bending

Twisting

Lifting up

What once was here no more

You’ve got a million faces

I’ve made a million more mistakes

Things in time may crash and fall

There’s beauty in the break

The darkest rain

May smack our backs,

A tempest of retreat

We may disappear

While our “what if”s

Lay dying at our feet

If we believe in love and hold on tight

Our inner truths will bring the sun

Scattered shells will lead the way

There’s paradise in sight

Questions

Do you wonder what would happen 

If we lost the will to dream?

Would we slip between the hidden cracks

Of boardwalks by the sea?

Would we drown inside from broken hearts

Impossible to mend?

Would we turn to dust amongst the stars

To never burn again?

Would we live entombed by borders

Never winning, never beat?

Would we sleepwalk through our visions

Never knowing where they lead?

Would we fade into a backdrop

Of invisible restraint?

Will we fight to live another day

Or will we be too late?

It (Love)

Love is blind
But it ain't weak
Love can turn the other cheek
When it's lost
Love can't be found
But when it's there, baby
It's all around
Love lives in your heart
It feels your soul
It beats to a rhythm
Your spirit has shown
A battle of strength
You must fight to be you
We live in a world
Where hope is still new
Lying and cheating
May take you there fast
But love is the answer
It alone will outlast
Every last fight
Every last war
Every last wave
Embracing the shore
Every last fumble
Every last fall
Every last back
Shoved up against the wall
Every last woman
And every last man
Every last creature
In this magic land
Love is the answer
To all unknown things
If you search
You will find out
Love realizes dreams.

In the Darkness

In the darkness

I can’t see

Spells and shadows

Engulfing me

Smoke like visions

Swirling dreams

Rush and tumble

Vintage scenes

In the darkness

Magical black

Ethereal monsters

Brush my back

Entombed in silence

Mission bells

Discover loss

In shot gun shells

In the darkness

Time to run

Embrace the wicked

Be someone.
