Crimson Sky

"Crimson Sky"
Visualize if you will the warmest embrace from Mother Nature
Take into consideration how the music guides on upon our way
Allow yourself to capture the purest essence of nature's gift in a sigh
Long walks through flowery meadows as we speak to the Crimson Sky
As just as sure as Nature has provided us with a nurturing kiss
This final truth of awakening & the infinite wisdom of loves bliss
Crossing the pathways of the surreal & understanding all we feel
Amidst this Crimson Sky there is the absolution of love's secret to conceal

Dignity

"Dignity"
Watch me hide away the mental pain as I walk another long mile
Just cant keep count of the scars that tell the story of the poet without
a smile Beside myself as I talk to the walls closing in as I crash
& burn.... In this prison of death like silence with my Dignity still
laughing at me I am touched by those who swear that I shine but
this is something I cannot see
Reaching the point where I realize my tears are meaningless as I grow older Seen through the eyes of a lonely & broken fool & one distant
soul which is colder Perhaps this Dignity was used in a game of perpetual misery to even the score On wards upon the path in which
I still walk & the words of this poet you choose to ignore

"There Is Only Me"
The image in the mirror breaking down is all I ever see
Trying to shake free of this hurt but There Is Only Me
Having endured the waking hours but my head is never
really clear There Is Only Me now & I realize your no longer here
There Is Only Me writing these songs & wishing you were near
Not afraid to hang my head & cry this story is just cutting too deep
In the image of the white beard & the hollow eyes of the pain I still
keep Shown in the corner of the room the poet who can't seem
to find true sleep There Is Only Me writing the words that give you
chills down your spine There Is Only Me remembering a love that
used to shine....

Nimbus

|
"Nimbus"
In your task of cooling the exterior moment of this time & place
How is it that you bring about better memories of a once kissed face
Surround me with soft shapes which caress this wandering mind
Nimbus my brother of the skyline who helped me forever shine
If we could separate the fear within & wash away the tears once
cried Nimbus of beauty & wonder please dissolve the pain of the
ghost that sighed Telling me stories of splendor & a new tomorrow
as we hope to find a better way Whisper the sweetest words of absolution & tell me you are here to forever stay

To The Heavens

|

|
"To The Heavens"
Take me To The Heavens where the sky remembers this boy
Lead me towards peace where I no longer have to beg for joy
Collect the ghost of my inner sense & pull me back so I might live
And if you can redirect this destroyed heart that has nothing left to give
Breathe life into my wounded soul & carry my body to a cool stream
Listen to the gentle flow of the poets words & open the door to this
dream And now closer To The Heavens will you find the King who once kissed your feet As you call out the name of the only true love who made you complete

"Behold The Beauty Of Love"
Transfixed by the shining aura & the earth elements around you
And this sudden warming sensation spreading through my soul
as if kissed from the light We have freed the spirit that guides us
towards a journey of purification & memory
Out of my body & in dreams I see more, Behold The Beauty Of Love
Carry the ghost image of the inner child to the mystic mountain of knowledge above
As we now reconcile the darkest shadow & transform it's energy
into the wounded heart I beseech thee who calls unto the sweetest
touch that gave purpose to this broken vessel
Are we seeking the next level focused on the 3rd eye & is this the final sigh...Behold The Beauty Of Love & these eyes that gaze into the
calling sky

Eyes Of The Galaxy

|
"Eyes Of The Galaxy"
See me transcending yet this tale is never ending like the eternal
gaze This moment now frozen in time as the deity within me looks through the haze See the colorful swirling nebula taking shape
amidst the Eyes Of The Galaxy & space Release this vortex of
trapped anger inside & transport me to a much better place
I was wielding this voice inflamed by the lessons of a sorrow filled
heart twice broke Looking towards the embers of a shattered poet
& the echoes of words he once spoke Is this the entrance into the
Eyes Of The Galaxy or have you finally destroyed all desire Eternally wounded by the haunting silence as my soul is devoured by the light
of the fire

Slow Moving Ghost

|
"Slow Moving Ghost"
No more erratic decisions to crowd the mind & comfort what was
left for broke Should you choose to manufacture an emotion for the ethereal one who spoke What was indecisive or confusing was
always clear to me but this is my only way And you chose to show
me the better life & at the same time refusing to stay See the Slow Moving Ghost reliving the past from a pain much too real
This individual still set apart from others & the secret life you still conceal
Slow Moving Ghost inhaling the lost words like a vapor trail left far behind There should be no more confusion in the alluring words
of the poet who forever shined Go ahead & formulate the concept
of this memory of a shimmering image of a lonely boy Somewhere
out there is the floating soul of one Slow Moving ghost
who only wanted to feel joy

Purification Of The Air

|
"Purification Of The Air"
In my search to calm my nervous soul & just hide my tear stained
eyes & let it all go And through the Purification of The Air & the
hidden meaning we wish to know Arriving under a glorious star
filled sky & still there are questions I will never know why
Were you dreaming of the warmest embrace & the poets kiss
& the lovers beautiful sigh Content to stare into the heart of
knowing only because I refuse to say goodbye
This is the Purification Of The Air & I remain the last one in my hope
that you care Pull me into the arms of a light you swore to give me
& look into my loving stare Subtle remind-lessness & completion
within from my eternal love & gentle kiss Purification Of The Air
& the lonely soul that reminds you of all you miss

Please Bring Me Peace

|
"Please Bring Me Peace"
Envision the messenger of one soul pulling you back where you
belong In between the darkened pathways & the friends who call you strong May the Gods offer me purest comfort like a beautiful flowing stream Please Bring Me Peace & lay me down in the cool waters of another sweet dream
Offering me a new phase where I can be calm & learn how to
laugh & play Please Bring Me Peace so that this disturbed heart
can feel the waking touch of a new dayEncourage the darkness to
accept the titles delivered by the soul searing light Please Bring Me
Peace & harmony & help me rest my mind, kiss my cheek & say
goodnight

We Belong

"We Belong" (song 12)
Gazing up into the bluest sky ever seen by the poet's eye
This shimmering ray of light which showed me the way
I now present to you the absolute beauty of two souls divine
Construct for me the dream sequence as two hearts shine
We Belong...
Through the shadows we have seen no truer love in which I gave
Calling upon the memories that told you of the one soul you could
save As the flowing stream follows the path in nature & we become
more Releasing the lost pieces of a puzzle put together & a love you
could never ignore We Belong...

Out Of The Mist

|
"Out Of The Mist" (song 13)
In the golden halls of illusions where the dreamer is revealed
It is only us standing by with the echoes which kiss away time
That waking image calling to your spirit guide in a language you
cant recall Out Of The Mist we divide the time as we choose to
embrace the star that began to fall
Curled up beside the flame of wisdom we are nearly close to the
point of infinity & a word Out Of The Mist you are compelled by the
voice that pulled you from another life time All will gather closer
& watch we decipher the secret message written in the eyes of
one Out Of The Mist & into arms of purest burning light & a place
to finally rest my head

Light And Shadow

|
"Light & Shadow"
Will you release this soul of purest compassion & love which never strayed Over the vast mountains you heard the voice & you knew
who I was Is this the turning point from which infinite love is heard
in a song Light & Shadow slowly retracing the beating heart of a
man forever strong And were we not enthralled by the beauty of
nature & the words I said
And how could one not surrender to a gentle caress that showed
you the way Our eyes were bright with hopes & dreams & all the creatures of nature knew my name The one who called you forth
from Light & Shadow allowing the slightest smile to appear
Falling back into this perpetual heartfelt voice which said "I will
always be here" I will always be here
