darling dont stare too long
no more than a required glance
just keep twisting me and twisting me
past your lofty told sentence and forgotten
circumstance
I know you perceive my wonder
but you dont really want to know
how I lost all my breath for you
and still you allow me go
never did two souls set fire
so stunningly as ours
colorful magic filled flames
so darkly boxed up now
forced into tame
made me thine courtesan
my true love you had the lot
gave you a thousand days to love me
and a thousand
to get caught

Burn

sunken down beneath the scene
with my pile of matchsticks
set to rapid fire
I burned for you
from a ten thousand foot view
of old sentiments and unread stories
now didnt we really know
the faint bird on the wire
goes silent
and lies flare up
like hard won tears
when we all look back
from under our tattooed eyes
slinging twisted thoughts
will we straighten out
our collars once again
smooth down a sullen brow
when night rolls in heavy by the inch
with its crisp cooling edges
will we follow where we should
and leave embers a glow
or do we ask to our heavens
a tenuous earthly favor
claiming nothing to prove
for who will hold these flames
when you feel their burn

Sky Pilot

it all comes back around
when self preservation is loaded up
and steel fences laying down
its not too late
it all comes back around
music floats like dancing
so we try again in vain
for stones to come unsetteled
or leave the way they came
pray the world should spin away
and we keep begging to hold on
its really not too late now
it all comes back around
lets move a little swifter
still each day at it's time
I let you kiss upon me
then steal it for my mind
I can see your shadow stay there
big brown eyes do wear their crown
it's really not too late now
it all comes back around
all you gave here was addiction
let dream circus spin undone
breaking hearts who dreamed upon you
the fool who almost won
I got something to know see
floating hills around this town
today I own too late dear
it all comes back around.

Winter

Socrates did not know much for love
never new never true could it be
And you never called me genius
assigned to fortune then
I now see

Mirror, Mirror

Nothing could be more quaint, I can sew things back together.
Ride new wind on my feather.
Colored, fairy tale names, ever do entice with their fawning and pawning.
I'm ever so, yawning.
I get tangled by what you weave and how you tend, for future play.
Brand new Doris Day.
I hear what you say and excuse me knight in shining armor
you do not disarm her
And darling baby, oh sweet back then in time
I made you mine.
so keep one in each pocket, of all your shiny medals
incase maybe, you setteled.
but none will glisten like a face so fair
Unclaimed trophy, extraordinare.

everlast

wipe me from your lips
so you can hastily forget my taste.
fast clean me from your hands
so you no longer feel my face.
shake me from your mind
and dismiss sweet tender things
soon you'll steal me from your art
rewrite the songs when you sing
then escape me from your eyes
so you can look another way
please ignore my tear stained cheeks
just pretend its all ok
lose sight here of my body
unframe my pictures from your wall
leave my hair less for touch
remove my scent no more recall
unhear my last whisper
echos swift they do past
but in concerns of your heart
may I live there everlast

Boy

I sit and think about you
boy, do I ever think about you
I have these good memories you see
the ones left of you and me
and they beg me for sound
spin me around knock me down
oooh, these sparks a'flyin
and there is ever no denyin
I sit and think about you.....
boy, do I ever think of you.
