Existence

Beautiful it is to have come to be
From your soul
You brought me into existence

From your light I appear out of the darkness
My lifeline, you guide me
When I am unsure of my own reality

Enhancing my ability to love, feel, dream
My professor in lessons of stability
My rock when all that surrounds me
Are grains of sand

Your energy evelops me
No choice but to submit
To the force that entices me
We are one

When these walls are closing in
A secret exit you extend to me
You become my freedom
I am alive again

Within your strong arms
I take hold of refuge
You are my breath, my support
When I am flatlining over all my troubles

A brilliant moon in an empty sky
You shine as a masterpiece
You are the object of all my glory

My root that sustains me
The guitar that my strings attach to
You are my life
The reason why I exist is YOU.

Never Leave You

How could I leave you on your knees
Naked and cold, exposed
Compromised and torn

The thought of stripping you of all your dignity
Is as foreign to my mind as the dead sea

And so I clothe you with an unmatchless love
A love that we both shall die for
Only you and I can comprehend
A fantasy to those on the outside looking in

My umbrella of strength
Protects you from raining bullets of rejection
Wounds from your past
I bandage with my sensitivity
Your fears are mines to fight

Stand up as a man
Grab hold of my hand
I will never leave you on your knees
Together we will win

Illusion

As a fly away feather unblemished in a bloodied kill
Is my sweet escape as I take to flight
Leaving the soul that lays extinct

I had been running for miles
And then I came to a stop
I found myself standing at the beginning point
Was it an illusion or was it the deception
That convinced me that I was really moving

The needle that threads fantasy and reality
Left an equality in me that was indistinct
And a freedom that was imagined

The sanity that vanished from me
Is the single pedal
That detached itself from the rose
I peeled away from the source of all my beauty

Have I swam too far out to sea
Have I drowned in the ecstasy of my pride
Only the stars can envision my path
My pedal dances across the graveled surface
How long will it survive

The Cold Inside

As the waters are deep that cover over the still earth
Are the thoughts of my bosom
That have have subdued all of my mirth

The woman I am inside is as cold as the artic air
To touch my surface
You have exposed youself to the windchill
That once stripped me bare

The rebellion that festers in the inward parts of my being
Is the act of a lioness that uses the day
To capture her prey
In place of the dark evening

You are a damned mockery
You confiscated all that defined me
With your callace and my identity
Away you went fleeing

And so now what has evolved
Within the hidden place of my center
Is a storm let on the loose
Untamed in the dead of winter

The sin that I contemplate
Against the one who took it all
Is the force keeping me alive
I'm waiting consciously for your fall
