Until We Meet Again
Until We Meet Again”
Sew my dreams into your seeds.
Such harvest eternal feeds
Bright fires like a rage…
And when you turn the page
There is writ in lines between
What was said and what has been
The old passage that the skies recite
Between the ghosts that kiss the night—
It is a tale as old as time has passed.
As it was the first word, it too shall be the last.
Do you hear the whisper of this night unbroken,
With the echo of the word unspoken?
It is a silence that the first man heard
And the last man shall hear...
Sew my dreams into your seeds.
Such harvest eternal feeds
Bright fires like a rage…
And when you turn the page
There is writ in lines between
What was said and what has been
The old passage that the skies recite
Between the ghosts that kiss the night—
It is a tale as old as time has passed.
As it was the first word, it too shall be the last.
Do you hear the whisper of this night unbroken,
With the echo of the word unspoken?
It is a silence that the first man heard
And the last man shall hear...

The Doves
The Doves”
It seems we’ve reached the end of our disease
To see blue skies and feel a summer breeze.
(I wonder)
But I see the doves have flown away,
And the skies begin to decay
The way we still recall—
Do we prefer to watch them fall?
We’ve reached the edge of the thunder.
And still, we gaze in wonder
At the doves who gather in their wings
The rains of future springs.
What do they know of where we have been?
Is there any Heaven they have not seen?
When the hours dry, where shall they climb?
As the sky...
It seems we’ve reached the end of our disease
To see blue skies and feel a summer breeze.
(I wonder)
But I see the doves have flown away,
And the skies begin to decay
The way we still recall—
Do we prefer to watch them fall?
We’ve reached the edge of the thunder.
And still, we gaze in wonder
At the doves who gather in their wings
The rains of future springs.
What do they know of where we have been?
Is there any Heaven they have not seen?
When the hours dry, where shall they climb?
As the sky...

Twin
Twin”
Settle into the night and say goodbye.
I don’t want you to leave if I have to die,
As the nicotine clings to my fingertips
When the dead breathe onto our lips.
Take me away—take me from this cavity—
I cannot fill it with what’s inside of me
It’s eating my skin under everything
And all I needed was your understanding.
I cannot sleep without dying for you—
Thinking every day brings something new:
But I waken and the sky’s on fire—
I could not save one life or the world entire—
Everything is burning as I see what...
Settle into the night and say goodbye.
I don’t want you to leave if I have to die,
As the nicotine clings to my fingertips
When the dead breathe onto our lips.
Take me away—take me from this cavity—
I cannot fill it with what’s inside of me
It’s eating my skin under everything
And all I needed was your understanding.
I cannot sleep without dying for you—
Thinking every day brings something new:
But I waken and the sky’s on fire—
I could not save one life or the world entire—
Everything is burning as I see what...

The Unanswered--the Unasked
The Unanswered—the Unasked”
I longed to speak, if only as a whisper
Hoping that you would answer,
Though death might take me
I feared your heart might break me.
Fragile perhaps my bones may be
But no pain is greater than that calamity
Of a callous word then spoken:
To a heart newly mended, so newly broken.
We were tears together,
Falling always, falling ever
To the song of roses red.
But silence only do you shed
On the petals as they wilt
As we justify your guilt.
But I must kiss the lie
You’re telling...
I longed to speak, if only as a whisper
Hoping that you would answer,
Though death might take me
I feared your heart might break me.
Fragile perhaps my bones may be
But no pain is greater than that calamity
Of a callous word then spoken:
To a heart newly mended, so newly broken.
We were tears together,
Falling always, falling ever
To the song of roses red.
But silence only do you shed
On the petals as they wilt
As we justify your guilt.
But I must kiss the lie
You’re telling...

Confession
Confession”
I was in love the day I died,
And that day you replied
With a promise for me:
A tear that was so deadly—
Poison of lips that fell
That haunt me in the cell
Of a dungeon I have built
In the shadow of my guilt.
What was it I gave with my embrace
To taste the tears on your face?
What did you tell yourself to do?
Did you weep for what I took from you?
If I could go back—turn time around
Would I leave you as I found
You in your nest?
Is this some kind of test—
What if I confessed— ...

The Voice
The Voice”
I cannot cleanse the dawning of yesterday.
I cannot hold tomorrow at bay.
The hours lay crippled in a sea
Of the fate that now shall be.
I sing without voice to thee.
You hear with such pity.
It is such tears I long for
Lost in the waves that roar.
I yearn to gather their shadows
Within the waters that enclose
The silence of death that I sing
While my roses are blooming—
Ah! Would that I may watch them grow
But there are no flowers where oft I go:
Into yesterday, where all is dead...
I cannot cleanse the dawning of yesterday.
I cannot hold tomorrow at bay.
The hours lay crippled in a sea
Of the fate that now shall be.
I sing without voice to thee.
You hear with such pity.
It is such tears I long for
Lost in the waves that roar.
I yearn to gather their shadows
Within the waters that enclose
The silence of death that I sing
While my roses are blooming—
Ah! Would that I may watch them grow
But there are no flowers where oft I go:
Into yesterday, where all is dead...

Skies of Memory
Skies of Memory”
Is it mercy if thou wilt forget
The smiles that we regret?
Though I dare not speak the name
I know the smile stayed the same,
As once in a memory
But there is no smile for me.
Time, did it take my pain from you
While you were all I ever knew?
I heard the thunder of my confession
And I have learned my lesson—
You were an angel, and I was just a boy
But it’s amazing what wings I could destroy.
I deserved to die, I wanted to die first
So that you would see the worst
Was over the day I...

Alas
Alas”
Forgive me, Father, for my sin.
I’ve come to speak of Heaven.
My tears will speak through me,
As my demons seek to undo me
In the sigh of paradise that awaits—
But this is not my fate
In the desert land of pain
I sought to find myself again.
Under suns that dried up all my tears,
I wandered lonely through my dying years
But in the sand saw neither shade nor sign
Of any soul that might have been mine.
You knew that I had gone away,
To where? Alas! I cannot say.
Beyond the words you tried to...
Forgive me, Father, for my sin.
I’ve come to speak of Heaven.
My tears will speak through me,
As my demons seek to undo me
In the sigh of paradise that awaits—
But this is not my fate
In the desert land of pain
I sought to find myself again.
Under suns that dried up all my tears,
I wandered lonely through my dying years
But in the sand saw neither shade nor sign
Of any soul that might have been mine.
You knew that I had gone away,
To where? Alas! I cannot say.
Beyond the words you tried to...

From Sun to Moon
From Sun to Moon”
Another day’s sun—a soul to rest,
With each tear, a newborn blessed
Fades from sun to moon, moon to sun
And I wonder—where is a star in everyone?
Where are these spirits wandering here
Without stars in a night of souls so clear?
We have seen the sun rise over the graves.
We have seen the lilies blush upon the waves—
But have we seen flowers? Truly? Have we?
Are there more to these blooms than what we see?
They lie o’er these spirits in their sleep without stars,
A sleep that resembles a slumber like ours...
Another day’s sun—a soul to rest,
With each tear, a newborn blessed
Fades from sun to moon, moon to sun
And I wonder—where is a star in everyone?
Where are these spirits wandering here
Without stars in a night of souls so clear?
We have seen the sun rise over the graves.
We have seen the lilies blush upon the waves—
But have we seen flowers? Truly? Have we?
Are there more to these blooms than what we see?
They lie o’er these spirits in their sleep without stars,
A sleep that resembles a slumber like ours...

Eclipse
Eclipse”
What is in my hands, if not your voice?
We face the open wound, and we rejoice.
Let us bleed for another day beyond the end
When we’re too quiet to stand and pretend
That we can bloom outside each other’s sun.
This scar of our names…bleeding as one.
I do not regret a moment of this pain.
I do not believe it was in vain
That I whispered into the heart of the dust
Of the shadow that you cast
No more on the sun we used to share—
An eclipse that told me you were there.
You’re still there…in some way… ...
