Leaves fall, float by, reds and oranges, greens to wear a fresh new coat of bright white in coming days Seasons change from green to orange people change from warm to cold places, times, lives change to icy wastes and frozen plains the leaves change always ready to fall, ready to die and leave us behind ready for winter coldness, ice And I, I wish for the summer wish for the sunshine wish for green wish for life Leaves change, Minds change Clothes change, And h...

The synapses fire shock upon shock lines keep on buzzing to make the gears click, to see the cogs turn to open the pathways for word to fly through and reach hand and paper to reach out to you. The cranks are all whizzing the gears are all clicking but nothing gets out the poet despairs and calls to his loved ones and asks them for gifts of words that are new asks them for peace for something, anything that's true. Inspiration comes calling at inopportune hours, to sin...

The only way to live life living here in love and those living here the living hear the living songs on high come from up above and living lives of lonely life as fragile as a dove makes living life a living fight that I wish to see no more of. And I open my eyes, and you are all I see and faith is mine, for I'm everything I can be without you, I know that I am weak, with you, I know that I am me. You are my sun, my ever-light the living song I hear the chorus sounds of t...

All I have is music All I have is sound All I have is wonder All I have I've found Is purer than a snowflake Is beautiful as the stars Is 4 hours from here to nowhere, Is always in my heart. I will keep on living if just to see her face she is my perfection she is my saving grace. If I should loose this moment and wake up in alarm I pray you Lord forgive me and put me back into her arms. So I can keep on breathing till again we're in one place to help me keep believing in y...

I beg with stars who know nothing of hearts I ask "show the way" and they reply living - living is foolish living is not safe living is loud and old living is quieter than the forest living is on display for us to see You know naught of life, say I and know not what life can bring They smile and laugh at me the arrogant speck of dust and twinkle in their bitter ways then pull clouds over their beautiful faces to hide from me the truth I beg with stars who never knew ou...

In the midst of the hum-drum the mundane, the ordinary surrounded by ideas and poorly written scripts I waste my time working (if you could call it that) Helping the idiot find the idiotic helping the stoned find the Stones In this ass-end of a one-horse town I figured it would happen eventually run into the past come under duress by a time I'd rather selectively forget Who knew I'd duck behind doors and laugh out loud at the way she still hates me at the way she looked at ...

This world is always asking for one more step one more word one more moment one more secret I have no words, to express my true feelings no moment to share, because time is so fleeting no more secrets to give, I leave myself open so one more step can be made, before I am broken but I find myself asking for one more moment in time so that I can tell you that you'll always be mine and share my last secret, you've stolen my heart and if I ever lost you, I'd fall apart I want to...

We are so far away yet so very close inside, and when you say "I love you" I know the world is mine for just one second you have brought me the greatest gift, that you could ever give and I know that in my weakness with you, through you, I can live this pride it falls away, and everything is cast behind and when I say, "I love you" nothing can keep you from my mind I feel like I am breathing through empty straws and soundless words but when I see you smiling I know that my hear...

When I tell them you're so far away and they groan and grimace just for me and tell me that it's rough and that we'll make it I just don't have the heart to say that 5 seconds is too far away but somehow I know that I can take it When I hear your voice, I know That 5 seconds is a chasm that I'll never fear to jump, because you are on the other side my hope, my dream, my love. So I'll run and jump off of this cliff and show that love can fly because 5 seconds is too far aw...

As I look out in the night sky I just want to feel your arms tonight and I know that I'd do anything to see you smile. As the wind blows through my faded eyes I realize that I have to cry- out that you are are my destiny cry out into the stars. Aging highway, here I come off to find the girl I love everything I've said is true I won't rest till I hold you. The traffic churns as I rush past the cars and all the broken glass as I run the race to find you in places I don't k...

I've been writing day by day a song thats yours and yours alone pen meets pad in an arcing affair as words and notes spill from hands to paper to find the right things to say The tune sounds so hollow as this song finds my most beautiful melodies lacking they don't do enough, soar enough fly enough for you. Words sounds strange flitting off tongues from weird mouths the bravest poetry I have the strongest words I can say aren't enough. It doesn't matter how I write it ...

We swing and we dance we wear ourselves out we try to be Spring and all the while sing as hands cover hearts and laughs fill the room and every once in a while I get to see you smile I admit I'm not the best and I doubt I'll ever be but every time I hear you say good night dear I wonder if the best is really just a smile or really just a song so that I can dance along And tell you how I feel, what I know, what I see and tell you you're the one tell you you're perfect ...

Excited, nervous We ran out of conversation and just listened to music and stared out of windows We sang and laughed as friends made fools of themselves as we made fools of ourselves In the middle, on the floor we were the only ones with a Slow dance for a fast song as I held you in my arms and never felt more alive And every day I wonder when I see your smiling face if I'd ever truly been alive without you.

We're out of sync with our times there's a Berlin wall keeping us appart by hours and minutes and if I could bridge this chasm right now I would. I've been told to carry on and spread my only song near and wide, far and long, So this has been a beggars plea I wish they'd see the rest of me and see through all the poetry and all these wasteful songs It's time to go now, and I think I want to say something If I don't I'll loose it within this fear but I don't know if I can s...

Amazing was an understatement I'm still caught in the rain, and I find that I can dance much more freely when I know that I can fall. And we had trashbags for rainstorms but they couldn't protect us the wind blew too hard, and the water flew too low so I'm suddenly wondering how all the sudden I am drenched I manage to find shelter and I smile as I realize it's just another part of life to get caught in the rain. Sometimes you stay dry and sometimes you get wet but alway...
