little prayers…

14 May

light streams in /
you / in my arms /
deep breaths / 
morning sun dances on your skin / 

you sleep / while my hands wrap around / 
legs entwined / 
my heart pounding / the only sound /
little prayers / that happiness you will find / 

truth will rise /
darkness will flee /

when my fingers touch your skin /
warm breath on your neck / 
can you feel my passion? /
deep calls to deep /
my soul / overflows /
you are my heart /
only love /
no matter where you’ve been /

at least…

21 Apr

 

at least i loved you / at least i cried /
at least i mourned / at least i tried /
at least i took the time /
at least i said goodbye /

erased…

5 Apr

losing it all /
the dissolution of hope /
feel it leave /
watch it erased /
move along / 
there’s nothing left of me /

witness this fall /
the exodus of hope /
chances flee /
all my love was a waste /
move on /
there’s nothing left to be /

on deaf ears / lands the call /
the expiration of hope /
my heart / an ocean of debris /
already forgetting the taste /
i’m gone /
can’t fit together a single piece /

with death / hope is replaced /
there is no more song /
why can’t i fit together a single peace? /

a birthday boy can dream…

1 Apr

staring up at the moon /
eyes stinging / throat tight /
can you see it, too? /
are we standing under the same light? /

cheeks wet / tear-stained face /
taste the salt on my lips /
prophet boy / what can i do? /

it’s simple / i miss you /

wishing on a star / wishing on them all /
just to feel my arms around you tight /
my heart is never far / it’s wherever you are /
you own my love / dominate my mind /

fall asleep /
looking in your eyes / looking in mine /
from across the miles /
through the darkness of night /
your lips / i seek /

wishing on a star / wishing on them all /
feel my hands touch your skin /
pull you into me /
deep / inside /
a birthday boy can dream /

good friday…

29 Mar

hey, you / staring down /
searching for redemption /
stop running /
no more hiding /
a song plays for you /
listen to the sound /
you are forgiven /

hey, you / prophet boy /
with eyes / deeper than space & time /
you are more than enough /
let go /
destiny / about to begin /
feet on the starting line /
breathe in the mystic joy /
you are forgiven /

hey, you / lost boy /
begging / falling / broken /
you believed those lies /
so you told even more / 
carried that shame /
despised / yourself /you hate / 
the wound is open / 
all the waves have crashed /
you are forgiven /

hey, you / longing for love /
gone / it flew away /
scraping / clawing / you drown /
let go / swallow the sky /
believe the prophecy /
listen to the sound /
it returns / from above / 
you are forgiven /

press…

26 Mar

black and white / that is all /
waiting in a row /
press the keys /
hear them come to life /
color and magic / 
fingers meet machine /
let’s write a song /

born to create / that is all /
see me come alive /
press the keys /
springs of water / inside /
something to say / 
you made me forget / for a while /
simple truth / my spirit has a song /

black and white / that is all /
the door is open /
press the keys / 
through the night /
into the darkness /
hear me sing /
let’s write a song /

walk through / that is all /
claim the magic /
press the keys /
can’t escape the call /
fingers meet machine /
i am / falling/ free /
let’s write a song /

you made a nervous boy sit still…

23 Mar

i wrote you a song / 
it was, oh, so easy / you were my heart /
wrote you three, actually /
you never heard them / too soon, gone /

like a schoolboy / crushing so hard it hurts /
a glance sent me to the moon /
surviving on daydreams of forever /
a touch / your hand in mine / 
it’s not hard to remember /
do you remember? /

you made a nervous boy sit still /
stared into my eyes /
i stared right back /
down the rabbit hole that night /
nothing left to feel /
tell me you don’t miss that /

don’t you know / i was lost, too /
before we found each other /
after lifetimes apart /
i held you close / feet touched together /
don’t you know / it destroyed me, too /
just can’t seem to recover /
since we broke / our hearts /

prophet boy / i will hold you again /
sit still / stare in your eyes /
these eyes, only for you / are mine /

just us /
alone for a night /
tell me you don’t want that /

prophet boy / i will hold you again /
sing you these songs / hold you from behind /
listen to stories of where you’ve been /
tell me stories of where you’ve been /
