Hold Them Still

Higher then I've ever been
on everything you've given
and I'm wondering how I'm
ever going to get down
(not that I'd want to)

And, you float and flit
around my head, in words
and memories I can't deny
or hold them all still

This is a dream I'm living
with you in this house
I'm complete.

I've never worn

Don't wanna live like a blue bird
always looking to change color
just want to fly like a sparrow
where all the clouds are just
mountains to climb.

Won't you take me home tonight?
I just wanna know somewhere to belong.
It has to be a home I don't know
because of all the ones I've found
I've never fit in.

Nothing like the history I've  told
won't you say, "Come home"?

This might be the change of clothes
to give me a different color.
Maybe all the colors of the rainbow
I've never worn.

Hold Fast

Untold devils lurking in shadows
things you do not know you're fighting.
I'm sorry to say this is the way life will be.

And, there will be no balm for some suffering
but the ice of time waiting to kill.

We will be the beautiful ones.
Granite statues
after all the pressure
we're bound to harden.

Just the Same

Want to drink of only you,
but some fear reveals more
of me then anyone has ever seen.
You keep looking where others
give in to my protests.
And, I love you for all of that.
But, fear you just the same.

Math Predicting Rain

A math predicting rain
fell upon your heart.
Let you know the future
of all that pain.

It was a calculus
for precipitation.
Precognizant ciphering
of nerve impulses.

How to relate the drum
of hail on a roof-top.
The percussion of
secret love making.

In Me For You

And, I will take a picture of your shadow
watch you dance along the wall.
And, I will understand our place in this,
some truth gathered from inference.
This is all that matters, that some fire burns
and it burns in me for you.
and it burns in me for you.
and it burns in me for you.

Now upon the shores of fear I begin to see
something new learned about you.
Now where love banishes old fears I will
go around gathering flower and youth.
This is all I know, that something grows
and it grows in me for you.
and it grows in me for you.
and it grows in me for you.

By Love, and You.

If there, above clouds, there are stars
stuck to their crystalline sphere like
diamonds (repeating their cliche).

If there, where solar winds buffet
the atmosphere, and tear away,
eating oxygen and magnetosphere.

If there, man passes on his way,
a doorway, and stopping point
a danger, a place to jump from.

Sing me this song, let me know.
I am as amazed by the world
as I am amazed by love, and you.
