falling from grace

an angel fell from the heavens into my arms
how beautiful she was to behold, wondrous in shape and in form
her eyes vibrant blue orbs piercing my very soul
her voice the sweet sound of spring time ringing in my ears
mere man, i was not worthy to stand in her presence
yet she reached out to me and took my hand
our love forbidden, boundaries set, walls built up around our hearts
my heart would not be bound, it burned for her with an unquenchable fire
i would not speak the words but i loved her, i worshiped at her feet
one day as suddenly as she had appeared she was gone
no tender embrace, no sweet kiss good bye, just gone
back to the heavens from whence she had come
and with her went my heart
gone my sun, my moon, my stars, all was washed in black
lost, no compass, wondering alone in the darkness that now consumed me
no peace to be found, fallen from grace

darkness falls

darkness falls softly on my eyes
this darkness i willingly embrace
for with the darkness come the dreams
sweet dreams of my lover swimming carefree in my thoughts
in my minds eye i can see the elegant lines of her body as its laid out before me
her subtle curves, porcelain skin to delicate to touch
shimmering eyes calling to me from the darkness
if she where only real, to hold, to touch
to feel the warmth of her body against mine
to gaze longingly into the cool blue depths of her eyes
to loose myself in her kiss
but for now its just a dream, a beautiful sweet dream
as darkness falls slowly on my eyes
to sleep, to dream

how : (

i cant eat, cant sleep, all i think about is you
you took your love and went away, now i don't know what to do
i try to pretend that i'm o.k., that i'm over you, moved on
i just cant seem to shake this pain, now that you are gone
my friends say that i will be alright, that i will find somebody new
but how can i find someone else, when the only one i want is you

dark days

dark are my days, darker still are my nights
the day that you left, you took all the light
sun, moon, stars all fade to black
my life now in ruin, cant seem to get back on track
i wander through life like i'm lost in a haze
i try to move on but your memory stays
the birds hush their singing, the flowers no longer bloom
everything now just shades of grey, shadows and gloom
i miss everything about you, but when you left you left for good
no amount of my wishing is going to bring you back, that much is finally understood

12/7/11

for me

His blood has washed me white as snow
there on the cross His love for me did show
a crown of thorns placed on His head
it was for my transgressions that He bled
beat beyond recognition and nailed to a cross
for all my sins He paid a terrible cost
so that i could live, He laid his life down
now for me in heaven waits a robe and a crown

12/6/11

still lingers

i had hoped that i would be over you but its clear i love you still
when you went away you left a void that i just cant seem to fill
your memory tattooed on my heart, i cant erase you from my mind
tried to forget you in other lovers arms but no comfort do i find
there is still a hint of your perfume that still lingers in my bed
sometimes i swear i hear your voice but its only in my head
i cant seem to shake all this pain, you've carved your name upon my soul
the further i try to run from you, the more it seems i cant let go

12/3/11

far away

my love for you is strong my dear but your so far away
my thoughts are filed with only you, they consume me night and day
everything that i have for one kiss from your lips is all that i desire
just to feel the touch of your fingertips sets my blood on fire
if only to look once more upon your lovely face
if i could be lost again in your sweet embrace
to be caught up in your passion, our lovers bliss
all these things and more my soul doth miss
know that my love is forever, though we may be worlds apart
you are here with me always, kept close in my heart

12/1/11

let me in

i tell you that i love you but my words fall on empty ears
your too afraid to let your guard down, you've cried so many tears
i wish that i could make you see that these words i say are real
you need only look into my eyes to know just how i feel
i'm not like all those other men who left you with a broken heart
who took the love you gave for granted and ripped your world apart
open up, please let me come inside, wont you take a chance on me
my sweet angel, to me you are everything, held tight in my arms you'll see

11/28/11

its over

my soul is like a wasteland made barren by your hands
drained of life, heartbroken, your wicked ways i now understand
i thought that i knew you, oh but little did i know
i never really knew you at all, you love was just for show
you took all that i had, always wanting more, never satisfied
me, well i was too blind to see, just went along for the ride
well i know you now and your kind of love i just don't need
better off with out your anger, your lying and your greed
i deserve something better, someone who loves me for me
someone who wont try to change me, make me what they want me to be
so go on now, live your life, its over, now i'm done
as for me, today's a new day, a new chapter in my life begun

11/27/11

searching

this old, tired heart is hardened, but He keeps on chipping away
He keeps calling out my name, but i just keep going astray
to busy with my own wants and needs to ever seek His will
looking in all the wrong places, but this void i cant seem to fill
my faults, they are many, but His mercy for me abounds
everything that i am searching for, at the foot of His cross it can be found

11/26/11

love is blind

teardrops running down your face as you're telling me good bye
funny, you're the one who's leaving me, shouldn't i be the one to cry
i thought that you said you loved me, i guess i was confused
please excuse me if i'm angry but i feel a little used
you took all i had to offer, now you're walking out my door
now knowing what you are all about, glad i didn't offer more
good bye, just leave, don't worry about me, i promise i will be fine
next time i'll know to open my eyes, my mother told me love was blind

11/25/11

who i am

i've travelled down many a road, and oh the things i've seen
all the pleasure and the pain that this life has to bring
i've swam in the ocean and ive climbed mountains high
run barefoot through dew soaked meadows, chasing after fireflies
i've made love beneath the starry skies, danced by the light of the moon
i've kissed the lips of many a pretty girl and watched love fade away too soon
played for hours smiling in the rain, soaked up my share of sun
sometimes i sit and just shake my head at all the things i've done
looking back now, i wouldn't change a thing, ive done the best i can
tried to live my life with no regrets, these things have made me who i am

11/23/11

it's been awhile

it's been awhile since i've seen your pretty face
since i've held your hand or felt your warm embrace
had your deep blue eye's burn into my soul
and having looked into them, lost all control
to have felt your lips pressed close to mine
the taste of honey, the finest wine
felt the sparks dancing off our tongues
our skin on fire, our bodies one
in my mind it seems like yesterday
you memory kept safe, in my heart forever stay

11/22/11

i'll be there

your hearts been broken, i understand
i've been there before, let me hold your hand
tell me your troubles, give me your burdens, your pain
i will carry them for you, i will never complain
a shoulder you can cry on, your words wont fall on empty ears
a trusted friend you can rely on, let me wipe away your tears
you can count on me, good times and bad, i wont ever run and hide
when you need me just call my name, i'll be there, arms open wide

11/21/11

doesn't matter

i once loved a girl with all of my heart
but fate was determined to keep us apart
our love was forbidden but i didn't care
still i didn't tell her, my feelings i wouldn't share
not wanting to burden her with confessions of love
never told her she was my angel, my goddess, my dove
she left without a word, not even saying good-bye
i didn't try to follow, just let my heart slowly die
i still think about her now and then but i doubt she thinks of me
i guess it doesn't matter how much you love, some things just aren't meant to be

11/18/11

looking forward

wind in my face, feels cool on my skin
a new chapter in my life is about to begin
i will climb every mountain always wearing a smile
sing out with joy in my heart, mile after mile
you wont catch me crying, i wont let life pass me by
i will reach out and take it with a gleam in my eye
i will live life to the fullest, drink in every last drop
always looking forward, never behind me for time doesn't stop

11/17/11

everything

every morning when i wake up and see your smiling face
everything i've ever wanted, my hopes, my dreams fall into place
you took this broken heart of mine and with your love you made it whole
you made me feel alive again, restored my weary soul
i don't know what you see in me, but i know this cant be wrong
i want to spend my life with you, i know that's where i belong

11/16/11

onward

wind in my face, sun at my back as i travel down life's long and winding trail
not sure what waits around the next corner, will i succeed or will i fail
always seeking out perfection, but perfection never found
try to lift myself up, make things better but in this mire i am bound
though the hills may be steep and life's thorns they tear my skin
i will keep on moving forward, i am determined that i will win
life may knock me to my knees, pressing onward i will crawl
pick myself up, dust myself off, after each time that i fall
these hardships they shape me, build my resolve, make me strong
i WILL get to where im going, no matter how rocky the road, no matter how long

11/13/11

all this time

all this time dreaming of someone like you
all this time hoping, now my dreams have come true
all this time praying to GODS holy throne
all this time pleading for a love all my own
all this time wishing at every well, on every star
all this time worth it, for my life with you in it made better by far

11/12/11

i woke up

one day your here the next your gone
how did things go bad so quickly, when did it all go wrong
just yesterday we were holding hands, walking in the park
now i walk alone, all by myself here in the dark
seems like the plans that we had made, there never coming true
the plans your making now, you make with someone new
you said you would love me forever, forever wasn't very long
my heart wont let you go till it beats no more, forever holding on
i woke up to song birds singing, the sun hadn't lost its shine
you've gotten on with your life, time to be getting on with mine

11/10/11

friend in me

talk to me darling get all your burdens off your chest
lay your head here on my shoulder, close your eyes and take your rest
you can tell me all your problems, your worries and your fears
i'll be someone you can count on, i will wipe away your tears
your hopes, dreams, your aspirations, everything i want to know
i will be a friend you can rely on, in me your trust you can bestow
i will be here for you always, my love will stand the test of time
to you i give my heart forever, please tell me you will be mine

11/9/11

poison

your love is like a poison all ugly and black
you bled my heart dry and now your wanting to come back
you tell me that your sorry, you say that you were wrong
no, its me who is the sorry one, i'm not listening to your song
took so long for me to get over you, to overcome all of the pain
all the hell that you have put me through, now here you are again
so leave and take your tainted love, i don't want it cant you see
no longer tangled in your wicked web, from your spell i'm finally free

11/6/11

better off

she loves me, i guess she loves me not
not too much left to say
she left me with nothing, now that's all that i've got
my trust she did betray
all of all of our plans and all of the dreams
they have all gone up in flames
from my eyes the tears now stream
with you gone, only emptiness remains
how is it that a man can live
when his heart it beats no more
everything that i have, i would give
to hold you in my arms once more
there is no point in pretending
your gone now and wont return
my life into hell is now descending
for you my soul still burns
no use sitting around here crying
whats been done, it has been done
better off now without your lying
better off now that your gone

song for chelsea

to you, my love, my trust, my heart i give
these things poured out for you as long as i live
i will be there when you need a friend
reach out to you, gently hold your hand
i will be your shelter from all life's storms
in my arms take refuge, kept safe and warm
your rock, i pledge to meet your needs
to comfort you when your heart bleeds
i will kiss away all of your tears and pain
put the joy back in your eyes again
to you i will sing, sweet words of love convey
cherish you all the more when we are old and grey
this promise you can count on, these words i say are true
i'll be yours forever, each day falling more in love with you

     someone is out there for you darlin, just wait and see : )

bittersweet

i allow my mind to wander as summer gives way to fall
past chapters of my life, i begin to recall
of all the loves i've had, of all the loves i've lost
too easily giving up my heart, never thinking of the cost
this tired, battered man, broken so many times before
i'd always pick myself up, dust myself off, jump right back in for more
looking back upon my life now, i have no regrets
these memories though bittersweet, i hope never to forget

10/31/11

blind

looking back in hindsight, i can clearly see
i never put you first, it was all about me
my wants and my needs, you made sure they were met
your hopes and desires, well, most times i'd forget
all that you had, you poured out for me
me to wrapped up in myself, to blind to see
i left you neglected and now you have flown
into the arms of another, now i'm broken, alone

10/30/11

words

words they swim inside my brain
words sometimes eloquent sometimes plain
words hold power, that  i can attest
words can curse and words can bless
words can hurt and words can heal
words can save and words can kill
words can comfort, can mend a heart
words unkind, tear it apart
words can dry a babies eyes
words from a mothers lullabies
words to build and words to break
words of forgiveness, words that forsake
words can cause laughter, words cause pain
words can bring joy, words cause shame
words of encouragement bolster the weak
words from the wise when enlightenment we seek
words can make a young girl blush
words that same young girls heart can crush
words of a poet drip with passion and love
words of a holy man inspired from GOD above
words of a critic, they bite and they sting
words of a friend much happiness bring
words of a saint, heavens glory they paint
words of a sinner spat from the depths of hell, our souls to taint
words of a teacher, their knowledge they share
words of a fool, conflicted, confused, their meaning unclear
words of honor, hope and of praise
words of a liar with malice betrays
words they have power, of that there's  no doubt
choose wisely the words that spring forth from your mouth

10/28/11

blessed : )

i lie here with you at the end of the day
all my burdens and worries just start melting away
in your arms i take shelter, safe from all of life's many storms
though the cold wind howls and the thunder roars, by your side i'm kept from harm
in your eyes i can see the love that you have for me
with all of your heart and all of your soul you give unselfishly
i thank GOD each morn when i wake and each night when i lay me down
for this lady he has blessed me with, for this angel i have found

10/27/11

fade away

how long before the breaking dawn
all alone with my thoughts, now that you are gone
i toss and i turn but sleep just wont come
thinking of you brings me sorrow, leaves me sullen and numb
seems like you've been gone forever, yet each night i still cry
put a smile on my face for the world, while on the inside i die
now i lie here alone with out you, where does that leave me now
just get up and try to make it through another day somehow
staring blankly at the ceiling, just praying for the day
when your memory no longer haunts me, when my love for you will fade away

10/26/11

brighter days

you came to me my angel from the heavens up above
and when you came you wrapped me tight in your wings of love
dried my eyes and healed my heart
gave me hope and a brand new start
loved me despite all of my many flaws
your gentle touch tore down all my walls
the warmth of your embrace, it brings to me such peace
from the hell that i've been living, my tortured soul released
in my eyes i see my worth, you make me a better man
you've given meaning to my life, i hope you understand
that in your arms i am complete with brighter days to come
my heart, my soul, my everything, into your love succumb

10/25/11

longing for you

tonight i wished upon a shooting star
that you would come back from wherever you are
that this was all just some bad dream
that things were not as bad as they seem
i wander lost, nowhere to turn
to hold you close, for you i yearn
each day i wake to find you not there
each night i sleep filled with only despair
is this how my life will always be
what more could i have done to make you see
from the moment we met i gave you my heart
the day that you left, you tore it apart
yes, tonight i know that my wish wont come true
but here i still sit, alone, longing for you  

10/22/11

how long

how long until my heart beats again
till the feeling returns back to my skin
how long until the pain is gone
till these wounds have healed, till i move on
how long until that i can breath
till that this ache here in my chest will leave
how long until these teardrops stop
till i've cried for you my last drop
how long this sad song that i do sing
these memories of you that i still cling
how long till you release me from your spell
till i can walk once more, free from this hell

10/21/11

last dance

in a room filled with people you sit with your friends
i've been watching you all night, now the nights soon to end
you are an angel, your face lights up the room
if i'm going to ask you, it had better be soon
although our eyes have met, i don't know your name
i'm aching to meet you, hoping you feel the same
last song, its a slow one, this my last chance
heart pounding as i approach you, would you like to dance

happiness is : )

happiness is waking up each day with you beside me
happiness is you whispering love words in my ear so very softly
happiness is the look of love that you have for me in your eyes
happiness is that when you hold me tight i still get butterflies
happiness is a tender kiss from your sweet lips
happiness is a gentle touch from your fingertips
happiness is our long moonlight strolls
happiness is talking to you for hours, bearing our souls
happiness is making love to you in the light of the morning sun
happiness is making love to you when our day is done
happiness is our love for each other, so pure and true
happiness is a lifetime my darling, spent right here with you

10/19/11

dreaming of you

to sleep, to dream, to dream of you
to see your face, that's what i must do
you left and took your love away
my sunshine gone, your no longer here to light my day
i can still remember all of the plans that we made
underneath that old pecan tree with its welcoming shade
sometimes i go and sit there, just wondering why
how did things go so wrong, why did our love have to die
yes, i still love you and when i think of you i smile
i think i will go lay down under that old tree and dream of you awhile

10/18/11

to love again

you've been hurt before, your eyes don't lie
by whom i'm not sure, that caused these tears you cry
i can feel your anguish when i'm holding your hand
in this pain that you languish, i don't understand
this hurt that your feeling, kept locked deep down inside
in your soul there is no healing, only sorrow  now resides
you've been let down and lied to so many times before
so afraid to turn around, to try to love again once more
my angel look into my heart, my intentions you will know
from by your side i will never part, i will never let you go

10/14/11

please take my hand

when i look at you i see only sadness in your eyes
despair your lone companion, in your heart it now resides
the cards that you've been dealt hold only tears for you and pain
you feel trapped, nowhere to run, consumed now by your shame
all of your feelings you keep locked deep down inside
your hurt and your sorrow from the world you try to hide
no one to turn to, you face your demons all alone
they eat away at your soul, your heart they turn to stone
bruised and battered, but defiant you still stand
i promise to stand here with you if you will only take my hand

10/13/11

my gift to you

a smile so lovely and so bright
ray of sunlight shining bright
my cares all seem to disappear
all go away when you are near
your eyes like diamonds alive with fire
please look my way, that's my desire
no, i am just a simple man
so how can i make you understand
i've no fame or fortune like other men
but out of love for you these words i pen
i offer you something worth far more than gold
this gift cannot be bought or sold
my heart i'll give, its your to keep
for in your love i am complete

10/12/11

dark angel

oh woman dark, your face is veiled
eyes void of spark, all dreams derailed
although young, your wounds are deep
life just begun, your scars did not come cheap
you scream and cry but no one hears
each day you die but no one cares
break loose from these things that bind you so tight
unfurl your wings dark angel, from this hell now take flight

10/11/11

sunday mornings

sunlight peeking through my window pane
as the morning greets me once again
i wake up with a smile to see
you lie there sleeping next to me
i touch your face gently while you dream
you look so peaceful, so serene
an angel here with me in my room
a fragrant garden in full bloom
i wake you softly with a kiss
mornings with you heaven, sweet bliss

10/10/11

inside your eyes

your eyes, shimmering pools of blue, my fountain of youth
in them i found love, they give me my proof
filled with wonder like the eyes of a child
enchanting, always searching, wide open and wild
alive with passions fire they burn
in them your secrets i strive to learn
in them i have my strength renewed
forever lost inside your eyes of blue

10/9/11

broken

broken, my heart it beats no more
broken, your gone forever more
broken, this man now just a shell
broken, heavens gone now trapped in hell
broken, the sun no longer lights my day
broken, left to wander alone in this haze
broken, no moon, no stars for me do shine
broken, so hard to breath, this pain of mine
broken, dreams shattered now only loss and regret
broken, only memories of you that i cannot forget

10/8/11

the tempest

a tempest it surrounds my heart
my sleep it comes in fits and starts
for when i sleep i dream of you
for my darling, my heart you've subdued
i wake up with my skin on fire
i burn for you, filled with desire
much easier to just let you go
but into your arms this tempest blows
full sails I'm driven into your arms
your voice it calls me from the storm
your lips drip with honey, your body warm
your eyes a safe harbor, keep me safe from harm
hell bent, to you my soul i give
for without your love i cannot live

10/6/11

yes wind blow

wind blow my lover back to me
her lovely face i long to see
to feel her skin against my skin
passion boils within me once again
her eyes they draw me deep inside
for with her now my heart resides
to taste the heat upon her lips
to feel the burn of her fingertips
my name she whispers in my ear
as i enter her garden she pulls me near
our bodies converging, one heart from two
this moment raw, so pure, as our lust we pursue
desire unbridled, will not be tamed
this dance, our love, a burning flame
yes wind blow her into my arms again
my lover, my angel, my heart, my friend 

10/5/11

waves for sonya

i see these waves now when i dream
they cover me with your mercy unseen
my doubts and fears they wash away
new hope and joy these waves convey
they fill my heart with strength and peace
to my weary soul bring sweet relief
these waves surround me, they are my shield
for in these waves, GODS love revealed 

a love not returned

you said that you missed me and then you were gone
what was it you missed before you moved on
lets not talk anymore when you left me for dead
i will remember you though, that's what you said
remember what, the look on my face
when you left me alone, vanished, no trace
i'll remember you to, i hope that you see
for clearly you meant a great deal more to me
all my love to you i freely gave
mind, body, soul to you enslaved
at least one thing from you i learned
the worst kind of love is a love not returned

10/3/11

the quill

these words of love drip from my quill
with love your heart i wish to fill
my words they fall on empty ears
my love for you brings only tears
i knock and knock but you've barred your door
if i could just make you see that its you i adore
for you I'd give my life you see
for you my love, mean that much to me
in my soul for you my love burns true
but my love is not enough for you
you walk away and here i stand
with broken heart, dripping quill in hand

10/2/11

i want you to know

in your eyes i see all things pure
sunrises, sunsets, the heavens and more
they burn with light, vibrant oceans of blue
they call to me from their depths, draw me closer to you
at once exotic, erotic, sensual and sweet
the gaze into them leaves me breathless and weak
when you look into mine they burn to my soul
when you look into mine i want you to know
my words aren't enough to express all my love
my darling, my angel sent from heaven above

10/1/11

someone who loves me

lost, alone, adrift at sea
the day you took your love from me
my heart you stole when you went away
i wonder now why you couldn't stay
i guess my love for you, it did not please
I'm left here broken, down on my knees
i gave you all that i had and more
you took what you wanted to return nevermore
its clear to me that to you it was just a game
i only wish that i felt the same
you live, you love, you loose, you learn
these wounds cut deep, they bleed, they burn
i will pick myself up and i will move on
bloodied, scarred but wiser now that your gone
i will find someone who loves me to
then i will no longer think of you

9/29/11

my heart

my darling, my love, asleep in my arms
my heart you have captured, enthralled by your charms
kisses so sweet, so tender, so pure
the face of an angel, so beautiful, demure
eyes dancing with light like the stars in the sky
skin silky smooth like a rose, or the wings of a butterfly
a voice like an angel when you call out my name
in my arms say you'll stay always, safe with me here remain
your body a wonderland filled with delights
gives light to my days, sets fire to my nights

9/27/11

our love

candlelight burning, casting shadows over the room
you and i dancing naked, lost in each other arms
a mass of tangled sheets and flesh, our bodies intertwined
sweat mingling, skin pressed hot against skin, each aching for the others touch
the smell of our passion hanging thick in the air
mouth heavy on mouth, tongues searching, hungry
we gaze into each others eyes, trembling as our passion washes over us
all that we have we freely give, i am yours, you are mine, we two now one
oh, but to stop time, to stay here in this moment with you forever
our love, at once sweet and pure, a burning flame
for you i burn, in your arms i burn, i burn for you always

spellbound

beautiful, your face aglow in the moonlight as we walk along on a warm summers night
enchanting, starlight sparkling in your eyes, gentle breeze cools our skin
elegant, your body, lithe, graceful, like an angel come down from the heavens to bless me on this night
spellbound, i hang on your every word as you weave a web around my heart
mesmerized, as i taste the honey from your lips, times stops, there is only me and you
enraptured, skin so soft and sweet like petals from a rose
breathless, my heart no longer my own but yours as i loose myself in this moment with you

9/25/11

never again

i sit here staring blankly at your picture
i wait alone for you to call
i hope with all that i am that its not over
never again you said
never again. really, where did that come from
how easily the words slipped off of your tongue
i sit here just staring out my window
i wait for you but you never come
i hope that one day i will be able to breath again
its not easy being discarded
to have onesself valued so cheaply
i wonder if you even knew
if you knew how much that i loved you
i sit here, head in my hands
i wait, my heart spilled out at my feet
i hope that never is not too long
i realize now that never is forever
never again to see, to touch, to hold
my whole world now awash in black
i wonder, will you remember me

my escape

sitting here in a crowded room surrounded by family and friends
everyone smiling, happy content
content with the life that they have chosen
life, or would it be more aptly described as death
a long slow death that they are languishing in
they peacefully walk through their days
blissfully unaware of the cancer that is eating away at their existence
why cant i be more like them
why am i so unwilling to take my place among the flock with the rest of the sheep
why is it that I'm always left wanting more
typical for me as of late i find myself drifting away
like some lonesome cloud floating lazily along on a cool summers morning
to my escape from this mundane existence that i find myself wallowing in day after day
my thoughts again turn to you
you are my distraction, my beautiful distraction
wondering what you might be doing
is your day going well
do you ever think of me
my flower in the midst of this desert that has become my life
are you even real or just some apparition that I've conjured up to help give solace to my weary soul
my body aches to hold you, if only for a moment
your eyes, always your eyes, drawing me ever deeper into this web you have spun for me
to taste the honey dripping from your sweet lips
to feel your soft warm skin pressed close to mine
the smell of your hair as in gently kiss your neck
my desire for you is insatiable
my lust for you cuts me to the core
each moment spent, leaves me yearning, wanting for more
ever wanting, always out of my reach
left for dead, you found me, tucked neatly away in the inner most reaches of my heart
you breathed life back into my drowning soul
restored my spirit, gave me back my zest for living
made my existence immeasurably more bearable
made me smile

shelter

shelter me woman from my tired and troubled mind
lying tranquil in your arms, peace now i know i will find
anxious thoughts abound, coursing through my tortured head
calm, cool waters beacon, found from inside your bed
weary, scarred and battered, life's many battles seen
your gentle eyes they soothe me, my soul has been made clean
our lives so very different, yet in many ways the same
entwined we two in passions dance, no regrets, never knowing shame
all i am, this moment yours, drink your fill from my cup
made whole by your touch, strength renewed, bolstered, again i rise up

carefree

come away with me my heart
slip out into the darkness of night
let the fireflies light your path
run away with me if only for a moment
lets fly away from here and swim naked among the stars
no worries, just you and i, carefree
lets dance breathless thru the constellations, two now one
lets go find your star
we can lie there safe in each others arms
watch as the world spins lazily in the distance
no longer burdened by its weight
moon beams caressing our bodies as we make love in the light of 1000 suns
come away with me my heart
