When the Pain In My Heart

When the pain in my heart
Equals the pain in my brain
When I think the only
Reason I care is
Because I am going in insane

When the pain in my heart
Equals the pain in my brain
When I think the only
Reason that I am here is
Because of all the years

When the pain in my heart
Equals the pain in my brain
When I think the only reason
For pain is gain of course
I think let’s start all over again

Kisses Dance Like Fire

Kisses dance like fire
Upon my lovers soul
Her whispers on my neck
Seek to regain control

Our curves are filled
By equal parts
One part passion
One part heart

Fingers stranded
Where lovers dare
Lips locked
In scarlet hair

Kindled by hopes
Of loves desire
We linger on slopes
Engulfed by fire

Heaven Grows

Heaven grows
On barren hearts
Fertilized with pain
When barren hearts fall apart
Heaven starts to grow

Heaven grows
On barren hearts
Drenched in tears
When the flood waters part
Heaven starts to grow

Heaven grows
On barren hearts
During darkest night
With the faintest light
Heaven starts to grow

Heaven grows best
When filled with pain

A Lone Wolf Sits

A lone wolf sits on a hill
Her black eyes gaze
A prize unaware
Somewhere below
The pack circles

Unaware of her dilemma
She has strayed
Against her mother’s wishes
She continues to play
With the wrong crowd

The lone wolf howls
The pack pounces
Their teeth are set
The scene is repeated
Until one by one

The girls are all seated
The fire crackles

I Am Your Don Quixote

I am your Don Quixote
But there is no armor for this heart
No protection from your eyes
There is no armor for this heart
Vulnerable I battle with your smile
There is no armor for this heart
From your beauty I cannot hide
There is no armor for this heart
Exposed I am tangled in only lies
There is no armor for this heart
Empty as every windmill that I find
There is no armor for this heart
I lay awake with open eyes

Day and Night The Piano Played

Day and night the piano played
Never once did the soft notes stray
Over and over on and on they played
During my short stay t
Day and night, night and day
The same soft notes were played
Never did they stray the same notes
Played again and again night and day
The music wandered and wandered
Until with me it stayed
And I began to whistle night and day
The same soft notes over and over
Again and again and again I played

One Last Time Of Summer

Looking for a parking spot
One last time
The boardwalks wait
One last time
The smell emanates
One last time
A child screams
One last time
The cotton candy spins
One last time
The crunch of a candy apple
One last time
Step right up
One last time
A video game
One last time
Miniature golf
One last time
A slice of pizza
One last time

If I Could Transcend Time

If I could transcend time
This would be the time I would choose
To spend every minute with you
This now would be our time

But each day we grow older
The inevitable grows closer and closer
The lines become clearer
And you become dearer

To this time in my mind
I will always come
When the day is long
And when the night is young

I will come back here time and time again
To spend the time with you
The time is now
The time I spend with you

Drinking In The Air

Down by the river
I spend my time drinking
Drinking in the air
Most of the time I am just hoping
That I will catch that scent of you
By the river in the air

Down by the river
Whispers in my ear
All of those yesterdays
Just drifted into years
Isn’t it funny how all of our
Yesterdays are so full of tears

Down by the river
Where we use to hold hands
I swear can see your face
Other than my memory
There is no way to get back
To the promised land

Soul Control

I surrender long ago
And I have been waiting
For you to take control
Your words are etched
In history

Incomplete instructions
For us to see
Cut like a knife
Through eternity
At my soul

If I only knew how to believe
Or is all of history
Just make believe
Oh why did you
Have to involve me

When do you plan on
Taking control of my soul
