Calling

When words begin to fall in place

Your thoughts are freed

From time and space

Your skin illuminates with peace

And beauty floats from underneath

The ground below your very feet

As if the angels lifted you

To see the light they wished you knew

And finally the blessed view

Is bathing you in warmth, its true

So much warmth you get the chills

And then, the stars; your soul they fill

The brightest yellow daffodils

Start dancing down your shamrock hills

With laughing love amidst the air

Question thoughts, you would not dare

For if your call should run, amiss

So many hearts

Will not be kissed

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

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

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.
