in the morning
in the evening
there is a reason to stay
alive after all

while the moments shifts
come and go
I gather the impulses
the visions played
past me
and on and on
to the rhythm of a heartbeat
to the pulse of a song

and a soft sterling light
across your cheekbone
the shadow of your longing
desire… was that your name?

I left you long ago – so long ago

turn your head and spin

the circles are astounding
may I shift your hand?
may I turn your head?

lets stay so much closer

forgot to give you a reason
as to why I never left
could have been the sole meaning
why you ran away from me

how lost can we get
before we turn around
solely bereft
when we start to turn inside

listen

nine songs to play
in eternity we stay
hidden deep closer still
insidiously desolate

longing for release

listen

nine ways to play
gather your memories
and walk another way

turn around
shift hands
your burden
will be dust

as space grows
with time
a path will tell
another
way of forgiveness
lies yonder

turn your head and play
nine songs in loneliness
just for a moment
stay
don’t leave don’t go
away

I never thought I could
love you this way
make memories
go away
beg you to stay
turn your head
shift your hands
find another way

just to make you…

listen

nine keys to play
in tunes undone
pages ripped
out of context true

torn asunder
like sheets of rain
across a breaking wall
like thunder hits
the fading heart
