Words in the Valley

Words,

Fill up the page,

Fill up the day,

From end to start.

Blankets,

Of chewed up words,

Shelter the cold,

From head to heart.

A star,

For every letter,

Handed over,

In the sky above.

Shines down,

On every mountain,

Heart in the valley,

Of love.

Gaze out the window, where the sun shines in,

For a little warmth.

Stare out the window, where free winds blow,

Then find the door.

Secret book,

Uncharted feelings,

Un-Earthly meanings,

Find a way.

Truths,

Hide in a closet,

Orphaned prophet,

Set off today.

Gaze out the window, where the sun shines in,

For a little warmth.

Stare out the window, where free winds blow,

Then find the door.

Blankets,

Of comfort,

Blind insight,

Sliver sunlight.

Words,

Spread out stars,

In the sky,

Tonight.

Untitled

She wants to trust her instincts

She claims her intuition is never wrong

She cites literature, poetry and rhyme

Comparing nature and rhythm, coincidence and song.

How can such a gift cast down from above

Transpire into such a form of guilt ridden love?

She writes a letter of thought and love

Explaining how she can not go another day

Under this guise of false indifference

Her words lay the tracks, then pave the way.

Living a lie is such a truth

The dam will break, the waters push through

In passion’s flames the gates stand tall

And wide, shall bend and break down all.

She overcomes a long quiet trance

To break out in moon light dance

Free as the night is young.

The sky black, the stars shine

The sand sifts, the weight lifts

The hour long, the time gone

The gift arrives, like the sun.

All

All I have to do is breathe to be reminded

All I have to do is open my eyes to see

Just like the soil we sift through

Like a weed we pull through

Like the glass we swept down to the curb

All I have to do is breathe to be reminded

All I have to do is lay my head to wonder

All I have to do is close my eyes to see

Just like a face carved in my mind is dying

Just like the rope that burns my hand

Is slipping

All I have to do is breathe to be reminded

Alright

If you like someone

You’ve got to tell them.

If you miss someone

Go out and get them.

If you’ve taught someone

You know they listen.

They can teach you too

If you only let them.

If you know someone

Then they know you too.

You can heal someone

Like they do you.

If you fall asleep

Hold on all long night.

When you wake up early

They will still dream it’s all right.

Apple Blue

It only takes a toothache, to ruin your cake

One sour grape, to end your date

An apple worm to make your tongue squirm

A dying tree means no more leaves

It only takes one of you,

to paint this world blue

It only takes one spark, to start a fire

A wicked wind elevates it higher

A little rain to put out the flame

It will all make sense some day

It only takes one of you,

To paint this world

Blue

It only take one thorn, in your side

To make you forge that you’re alive

It only takes one dark dim lit foggy day

To make you get lost and lose your way

One bad frost to kill off the crops

The fruit gone bad and the flowers lost

It only takes one of you

To paint this world

Blue

Blue, blue

Blue

Tracks Parallel

Aren’t you the one that’s been following?

Aren’t you the one that’s been hanging around?

You look oblivious to feelings around you,

You look straight out of lost and found.

Aren’t you the one staring straight to the sun?

Sometimes you are all but blinded.

Your eyes deceive you when they’re three feet away.

But blind the answer is clear.

You know another thing about this?

You can feel happiness right down to the bone.

Maybe a glance, a smile, a look, a turn, a word.

Don’t be afraid to spill your heart into the world.

You talk around like it’s nothing,

But you know it’s everything to you.

Your heart is stolen when it’s in love

When you cannot confess it to the one it’s true.

You know another thing about this?

Connections deeper than the way bodies get used,

Result in love that’s everlasting.

Emit a spark, a flame, a fire

That’s true to you.

Snow In July

 Snow in July, made us want to cry

Snow in July, made us want to cry

Ice on the trees,

Poured right down to the streets

Pillows of snow on the land,

Gave the look of white sand

Mud on my shoe,

Made me think about you,

Made me think about you.

No April sun just wind,

And the jackets grew thicker each day

The trees were dying in spring,

The leaves fell, nothing left green

The nights grew longer too,

The darkness increased every day.

The vines all tangled around,

But no fruit here could be found

Yes the stems came out of the ground,

But no flowers here could be found

No flowers here could be found.

Snow in July, made us cry,

Was it really true?

Snow in July, made us cry,

Was it really true?

One hot December rain,

The trees kept us from soaking

The flowers they all bloomed

And so my love for you,

And so my love for you.

Snow in July, made us cry,

Was it really true?

Snow in July, made us cry,

Was it really true?
