Forever Dreaming
Woke in the moonlight
whispering clear
Secrets that no one
was ever to hear
Look around madly
anyone there?
Silence means safety
from waking worlds glare
Dreams conjure quickly
they need not make sense
Waking world never
can be so immense
I want to stay dreaming
which spell can you cast?
I want to stay dreaming
no future, no past
Say that you'll help me
I don't care how
Forever dreaming
the here and the now
Sprinkled with stardust
weaving through space
Try all you want to
you wont see my face
This...

-Wingless-
On hard days
I grab the telephone
and call an angel
(Please stop with what you're thinking
Just believe me for a moment)
I call an angel
And he never says hello
He laughs
and says he knew
I would call today
Strange to listen to a voice
that's no voice at all
but more a plucking
of heart turned harp strings
I ask what he's doing
"Watching the clouds go by between my toes"
I say I am too
(I just don't explain that
Ive got my feet up on the windowsill
and the clouds...

It's That Or Struggle
Let no one mean as much to you
as you might mean to them
No one cries of a traitors lies
when mutiny's in the air
Always speak, unless spoken to
then try to remain silent
so you can speak and be at peace
when he's gone off to find it
Seek without looking
If its lost its still around
But if they hide, don't try to find
because some just can't be found
When the world lets you go
no longer requiring a thing
from you, for you
It's safe to go, no matter what you bring
Don't come along for someone elses...

Slave of Anubis
Body undulating
under his dark eyes
upon my wrists and ankles
gold flashes in candlelight
The patron of lost souls
weighing each heart to judge
in death he claimed me
to dance for only him
In the shadows of the underworld
I exist for his pleasure alone
he is guardian of the dead
watching me eternally
Gyrating to the drums
upon my hands and knees
crawling to his throne
breathing in his lust
He stands, magnificent beast
protector of the damned
Anubis, my beloved master
calls me Anput, his slave
under his dark eyes
upon my wrists and ankles
gold flashes in candlelight
The patron of lost souls
weighing each heart to judge
in death he claimed me
to dance for only him
In the shadows of the underworld
I exist for his pleasure alone
he is guardian of the dead
watching me eternally
Gyrating to the drums
upon my hands and knees
crawling to his throne
breathing in his lust
He stands, magnificent beast
protector of the damned
Anubis, my beloved master
calls me Anput, his slave

Heart Strings
I dance to you
upon
crippled feet
Lips
stitched shut
I cannot speak
Or at least
not well enough
to explain things
that I wish
I could
My veins
they pulse
and pound
in violent blue
I want you to know
that they
do it all
for you
You ignite me
upon
crippled feet
Lips
stitched shut
I cannot speak
Or at least
not well enough
to explain things
that I wish
I could
My veins
they pulse
and pound
in violent blue
I want you to know
that they
do it all
for you
You ignite me

Fading Time
Time fades like dust in a cloudy sky
There's a place where all dreams go to die
It's a place with no sun and no stars
on the shores neither near nor far
It's a place where we reap what we sow
Silver wishes and misspent sorrow
Where tears fall like rain on a rose
Dream your dream, don't be afraid
In the ocean of hearts, you dare to wade
Stick your toe in, it's not too cold
Try to smile as you grow old
In the galaxy of hope, There's only two places to go
Dare to imagine, let your dreams flow
Or drift off to the empty sky ...
There's a place where all dreams go to die

Dream your dream, don't be afraid
In the ocean of hearts, you dare to wade
Stick your toe in, it's not too cold
Try to smile as you grow old

Laying On My Arm
I remember the pinpricks
that didn't come
The internal burn
that never ran up my arm
Full use of my fingers
after the lights went out
Your head rested there
where arm and shoulder met
And
it didn't hurt
the way my body was strewn about
with you mere inches off
Still within my grasp
but yet so far away
Distant
I could fall asleep to your scent
Awaken to your pulse
Dream sweet nothings
in the wake of our world
During those few hours of rest
Beautiful. ...

Forbidden
I think I could learn to like
living with the frustrated restlessness
I wonder, can you see it in me?
It's swimming there in the pools
deep in my eyes
Maybe I'm wrong, but I swear
I see it in you too
A subtle shifting of thought..
Maybe we all have another idea
hiding behind our best intentions
Please
try to understand
I want nothing to change
But I feel more alive in your presence
I'm addicted to your smile
And your absence pains me the most
the more I try to ignore it
Just let me be close to you

A Michelle Moment
The touch of you
burned
my skin
as you embraced
me and
pulled me to the floor
And the sight of
the light
dancing in
your eyes brought
tears
upon mine
In those brief
moments
I was numb to your
touch
and I hated you
I finally realized
you were real
and I was awake
and this feeling of
hate
was real
burned
my skin
as you embraced
me and
pulled me to the floor
And the sight of
the light
dancing in
your eyes brought
tears
upon mine
In those brief
moments
I was numb to your
touch
and I hated you
I finally realized
you were real
and I was awake
and this feeling of
hate
was real

Greedy Angel
So tell me
beautiful angel
When did you lose yourself
so much
you fell?
And as I found you
and all the little pieces
How could you turn away
and forget everything I gave?
I wander through the cold
Searching, hoping that same angel
will need another drink
and bleed me dry of all I feel
Though you wanted nothing of me
You still keep what I gave
and deny my love in your smile
with the truth in your eyes
I could lay here forever
and fantasize
of your radiance
To pierce your mind
and endure on...
