Gently

Who will come to cross the line
come gently lift the bar
all's within that's truly mine
the rest is just too far
A gentle force against the gate
lips brush disturb the void
a thrill spreads through the silent state
a murmur fear's deployed
A breach a glitch we're comprised
run now take your last chance
twist resist make cold your lives
you're caught in her last glance
Trapped and held now gazing out
the sky runs past to show
held within that shaking breeze
the first of all you'll know
It shifts the leaves it brings the rain
it builds and crushes grace
towards the warmth the smoothest pain
two fall two turn to face

Disgrace

My footsteps do not sound my own
the rise and fall is close and grown
what once was lost in haze and moan
has caught the edge unknown
She whispered what was plain to see
thrown sparks into the oldest tress
now burn the fire sow the seed
the young have hope indeed
What could we have seen from here
her guilt shook breath my horrid fear
we'll see who sheds the virgin tear
the rest is sharp and clear
What may burn will warm its proved
since either hand can give a truth
you’ll get your light from sun or moon
so let your heart be smoothed
Malice trusts forgiveness least
the softly spoken hidden beast
don’t mention what the hunter seeks
just treasure what it keeps
Smell is close by grace of air
it clears the mind and burns despair
the warmth may yet still lead me there
her skin so smooth and fair
Eternity is in the eyes
mortality a fine disguise
the gods the ghost the new surprise
back running towards demise
What was one was split in twain
the human splinter caught the blame
infected twisted pure or sane
to me its all the same
Just let my soul rest on her face
she’s eyes and lips I’m pure disgrace
take my time my heart my space
and let me run this race

That Slow Sad Dance

That slow sad dance
I never stood a chance
two eyes down the barrel
a fine romance
I never stood a chance
That long rough slope
I only had to cope
The cliffs the solemn waiting
Heart and hope
I only had to cope
That sick sure choice
My heart breaks at her voice
Her breath travels through me
A pure white noise

A Crisis of Faith

Every day a crisis of faith
it falls apart ad I remake
each day I watch this race
I speak and I lose face
The moments seem to drip away
the night as slowly as the day
I turn to those with more to say
be quiet my dismay
Every day my hope's a stake
sun might set my heart can ache
this grip might easily break
the pieces that you take
Every day there's more to live
the risk a weight that moves to shift
if you can trust the one's you're with
then you can still forgive

Put out my eyes or if not her’s
I need a violent answer
for in them lies a cause to stir
the leaping flying dancer
The hunt is up so be released
the moon’s cold light won’t glitter
it fills the cup with cool relief
the rush is smooth and bitter
Shed my skin and I’ll wear hers
scared scarred sacred sinking
the rising sin the mind concurs
the last time you’re caught thinking
Dive we’ll take it hold me back
I wonder no I’m falling
grab it take it I’ve no lack
You’ve heard or are my calling
That one sweet touch so smooth unsure
the fear thought it was fighting
she’s just too much I’m on the floor
I’m swimming drowning wading
this room this place I built it yes
was she always here waiting
her eyes her face oh I confess
I’m swimming drowning wading

This Us

Two hands on the rope that is love
sliding down it burns straight through the gloves
while her knife cuts the strands up above
I consider that last fatal shove
Two figures stand small on the cliff
if you’re still then you’re still who you’re with
breathe it in what the sea has to give
…as the rocks slow sad shift
What the heart gives at night she calls lust
in the morning her spite says you’re puss
that’s not closing the wound its just rust
you walk out she’s relieved of this us
No words and a long rotten shore
a thousand dead birds and what’s more
you could feel all the pain that’s in store
for too long you had watched as it gnawed
What the heart gives at night she calls lust
in the morning her spite says you’re puss
thats not closing the wound its just rust
you walk out she’s relieved of this us
