i want to say that i am
only a heartbroken man
that after all i've been through
i could still be able to love you
...

I've only my warmth to give you
but what good is that
with your big fur coat?
how could you ever chill
...

A lone girls foot prints in the moonlit snow
with nothing behind her telling her where to go
the road up ahead is white with ice
though the moon will guide her through the night
...

i stepped into the dark to grab a light,
and saw above me the moon in the night.
i stood alone in the cold and wondered what i am,
all the rest had gone to sleep, just shy of 5 am.
...

The sun is set
and the town is quiet
the birds are gone
and the streets are clear
...

I see your palm
lit by candle light
warm and golden
I'm with you tonight
...

I want you
pump the body full of seed
until you cry it out
of your beautiful blue eyes
...

Hi
and look away
I look to you
and your eyes close
...

the night is quiet
and pregnant kinetic
cool breezes and songs
in the air
...

They close their eyes and feel
each other's breath on their skin
At last vulnerable to touch
there are no secrets, no sin
...

Juggernaut clouds and a lake of boiling silver under a setting sun,
the veils of rain fall

a curious girl on the shore of a dream, her hair buffeted,
...

Why I do not follow
you may never know
but it's only cetain
where my path will go
...

the light, which is blessed to touch your skin
is stolen by my awed eyes
I could call you by name, by my voice waivers
to define such beauty is to imprison it
...

It rained today
sudden with blowing wind
I breathed in the cool, wet
autumn air
...

AS THE STREET LIGHTS STAB THE BELLY OF THE DAWN
the darkness winces in stars flicker
but the leaves grow green greedy
to possess the fleeting night
...

If I knew
I'd be going away
today
if I knew
...

all i've got to say is i love you
and that means nothing
all i want is to know you
but i never will
...

It's dark in here
the light by sunset
fading quickly now
without a regret
...

the sun comes in on the slant
as the day turns on
the sky twinkling in the sea of leaves
the silhouetted trees no longer
...

bounce bounce
cling tight
the wind has more
for tonight
...
