For When I Was Lost
For when I was lost
I gazed into you
Like the flame of a single candle
You lit up the darkness
Kept the beauty of light alive
But as I gazed too long
Your glow began to melt
And then the light went
Not in you, but me
Your soul within mine
The touch not of a burn
The glint not of a flame
But the sleek of a mirror
I can see in this d...

Come on Home
You’ll never know, how much
I’m feeling
You’ll never know, how much
I need you
So come on home again
Please
Come on home again

To have loved how we loved
To have loved how we loved
Eyes locked, skin tender
To have loved how we loved
Hands clasped, lips traced
To have loved how we loved
Sea of brown, sea of blue
To have loved how we loved
Bodies ignited, spirits calm
To have loved how we loved
Unsung harmony, fragile peace
To have loved how we loved
Hidden darkness, returning comfort...

Heal my wounds
I pull the black dagger
From my heart
The weight of my armour
Now a fluid mercury
Not a poison to me
A release
I steep to one knee
Chest free
A pour of soft gold down your slender arm
Sheds the silver mercury away
Fills the wound that I
Cast upon myself
Your fingers brush me
As though they are lillies in my garden of Eden
Lustful inhale of...

Ancient Hearts
We are ancient hearts
A beat so strong
We are the petals of love
A touch so gentle
We are the faintest shadows
A dance so deft
We are the flicker of candles
A flame so gentle
We are the trace of embers
A light so dim
We are one
A fate so destined
We are absent
A presence so cold

A tapestry of lives gone by
A tapestry of lives gone by
Rich threads from what we cry
Frays of the past evoking
Gaze of the future corrupting
My stream carries its fallen leaves
Its purpose only defined by what it receives
Broken mind and beaten guilt
A blackened soul only I have built
Tears like beads down a porcelain doll
She is there to no longer make me whole
As I possessed a poiso...

Eyes of the storm
Cut me open, bleed me dry
A knife not a tool, a liberator
Their is the forgiving woman with sorrow
Deep in those eyes, to a place
I am oh so unfamiliar with
There are places you know, you see
It is the dark holding our sparks
A flock of deft touches and harmony
Yet the pulse of the thunder rolls over
Sparks scattered, hidden or gone
You will never, never...

Song of agony
I cry for all those overcome
The ones trapped, trapped
Draining souls lost in heat
Etching sins into the glass
Break free I beg of thee
Screams thunder the grey
All this storm, all this fear
Release the hell you hold dear
Do not twirl and twist among it
Go take my hand - leap
Don’t fall to his name - rise
Your light of her and all her’s
Come to the promised k...

Rise/Fall
In the sun you hear me cry
In the moon you see me stand
I rise to your call
I fall to your mercy
My hands rest on your knees
My head bowed in your heart
Too much for me
Too much for sin

Unrequited Love
Unrequited love is the destruction of the heart
It is walking across an endless desert occupied with faded mirages that show you beauty like never before
Constantly consumed by its wonder, constantly consumed by the despair for your love for it
She is the mirage, you are the lonley aching fool in an endless desert
You are the one slowly suffocating by the boundless intesity of what you...

From The Light Into The Dark
You stand before an empty horizon,
The silhouette of the trees running sharply across the bottom of the sky,
Eyes fixed on those soulless, black shapes in the distance.
Your gaze wonders up – slowly. The sky transforms before you
From the light into the dark.
The moon hangs – trapped in the dawn of engulfment,
The ground beneath you is dim – stretching to meet the light.
