Rambling......
I wish I could tell you the summation of this rant, but, I can't, so I'll just continue on.....
There Are Two of You I See
There are two of you I see
One that leaves and one for me
I will keep the same one here
Hearing of all that you will care
And will it now that it may do
The single thing I wrought from you
I wait for you and time stands still
Waiting on the heartbeat's trill
Tangled down, the slowness bounds
I do not wish for fever's calm
I want the song.
Please don't make me wait again
I have waited with my hands
And timeless wonders shout and squeal
Leaving seasons to their zeal
Patience now, though it has flown
I flee to sorrow for the burn
I wish that you will fill me true
With the joy of waiting too'
Lo, I look into the sky
Horizon meets the fated eye
I will look up for you there
Waiting , always, that is clear
Not too long though
Not too much
I long to turn to fever pitch
I toss the secret out to you
Escaping now within its hue.
One that leaves and one for me
I will keep the same one here
Hearing of all that you will care
And will it now that it may do
The single thing I wrought from you
I wait for you and time stands still
Waiting on the heartbeat's trill
Tangled down, the slowness bounds
I do not wish for fever's calm
I want the song.
Please don't make me wait again
I have waited with my hands
And timeless wonders shout and squeal
Leaving seasons to their zeal
Patience now, though it has flown
I flee to sorrow for the burn
I wish that you will fill me true
With the joy of waiting too'
Lo, I look into the sky
Horizon meets the fated eye
I will look up for you there
Waiting , always, that is clear
Not too long though
Not too much
I long to turn to fever pitch
I toss the secret out to you
Escaping now within its hue.
Pray On Me
Pray on me, over me, not prey
But pray tell, and I should know
This is the story that you cannot hold
I lost you in the forest
I took you in the field
Our fate sealed, seared, closed up and set
On the shelf, and yet
This time I think, is mine
Belonging and being the place that is now
Lo, and you go, and fight
And the tipping point of evening comes
To the delight of monsters and demons
And there, waiting, as though preparing for the wake
And waking with a shake of your hair
I left the staring masses
Behind my watered glasses,
And bubbling up from the deep
I think on those things
That creep
And crawl
And then it is enough
It is all
That you cannot break me apart
So I stand here in threads
Held together by the strings
Of the things I believe
You are wasting me
I am free more than ever
I will go forward
I can't give this up
I can't let go
It is an addiction
So old
So old
I am resigned
And I feel that, in time,
Maybe I'll understand the pace of these things
And the space of the meaning
And there, I have stopped sinning
Cause God forgives
God forgives
But pray tell, and I should know
This is the story that you cannot hold
I lost you in the forest
I took you in the field
Our fate sealed, seared, closed up and set
On the shelf, and yet
This time I think, is mine
Belonging and being the place that is now
Lo, and you go, and fight
And the tipping point of evening comes
To the delight of monsters and demons
And there, waiting, as though preparing for the wake
And waking with a shake of your hair
I left the staring masses
Behind my watered glasses,
And bubbling up from the deep
I think on those things
That creep
And crawl
And then it is enough
It is all
That you cannot break me apart
So I stand here in threads
Held together by the strings
Of the things I believe
You are wasting me
I am free more than ever
I will go forward
I can't give this up
I can't let go
It is an addiction
So old
So old
I am resigned
And I feel that, in time,
Maybe I'll understand the pace of these things
And the space of the meaning
And there, I have stopped sinning
Cause God forgives
God forgives
Waking From This Dream
Waking from this dream
Alive, it seems
And I couldn't have pushed it further
Or you farther away
I went to the town of trying
And my heartstrings tore
At the sound of your dying
And you were gone
A whispered, song
An errant tune
On the lips of a traveling fool
A stranger to me too
And I couldn't meet you there
Your hair is unwound
And you touch the coolness
Of the silence, and the emptiness that surrounds
Liken to me my darling truth
Run with me through the forest for the woods
And songs will still strum
Birds will still take flight
This plight has ruined us
Torn us
Shorn our skin away
Left us for decay
And darkness calls sweetly
Waiting to greet me
Without so much a tear
And I do not fear
Without you here
Alive, it seems
And I couldn't have pushed it further
Or you farther away
I went to the town of trying
And my heartstrings tore
At the sound of your dying
And you were gone
A whispered, song
An errant tune
On the lips of a traveling fool
A stranger to me too
And I couldn't meet you there
Your hair is unwound
And you touch the coolness
Of the silence, and the emptiness that surrounds
Liken to me my darling truth
Run with me through the forest for the woods
And songs will still strum
Birds will still take flight
This plight has ruined us
Torn us
Shorn our skin away
Left us for decay
And darkness calls sweetly
Waiting to greet me
Without so much a tear
And I do not fear
Without you here
End of Reason
This is the end of reason
for a season
and yet we whisper of truth
boastful and unabashed
hope is set up
set up high, to be dashed
and I cannot believe in the silence
I cannot sway in the rhetoric of time
and the time has come
and we are not ready
our hands, unsteady
cannot steer
for a season
and yet we whisper of truth
boastful and unabashed
hope is set up
set up high, to be dashed
and I cannot believe in the silence
I cannot sway in the rhetoric of time
and the time has come
and we are not ready
our hands, unsteady
cannot steer
Taking Time to Tear Me Down
Taking time to tear me down
Circled, sheltered, with a frown
Rising up to ruins deep
Facing sorrow we can't keep
And we knelt in solitude
Hanging voices, bodies nude
And laughing in the absence mild
Living out the world in trial
Like me now, though bitter rest
Has wrested me from inside this test
And left me in a silent tune
Gaping at the harvest moon
Can't feel it out like before
No answers now for what's in store
And I think I know the query
Life and wisdom, secondary
And harken here to my own tongue
Voices in the silence, strum
And hearts are broken on the steps
Of vanity and helplessness
And, a shout, out from the wild
I have lived here, I have sidled
Up to wisdom, up to truth
And I will not let them loose
Circled, sheltered, with a frown
Rising up to ruins deep
Facing sorrow we can't keep
And we knelt in solitude
Hanging voices, bodies nude
And laughing in the absence mild
Living out the world in trial
Like me now, though bitter rest
Has wrested me from inside this test
And left me in a silent tune
Gaping at the harvest moon
Can't feel it out like before
No answers now for what's in store
And I think I know the query
Life and wisdom, secondary
And harken here to my own tongue
Voices in the silence, strum
And hearts are broken on the steps
Of vanity and helplessness
And, a shout, out from the wild
I have lived here, I have sidled
Up to wisdom, up to truth
And I will not let them loose
Bend Me into the Wind
Bend me into the windI wouldn't have sinned
Expect, this is life
And living
And I cannot let go
Wake up and know
The answer the riddle you pose
Please let me float
Let me hope.
Don't burst me with the pin
Of your anger
And in this dark hour
The power of truth
Seems to be waning away
But today
I heard the herald breaking song
In the morning
So early
And today
I saw sun in your mind
Light inside shining
So truly
And I am Crying
And I am crying
Inside
But as the world is spinning
I am being solidified
Hardened
My heart beats so slowly
And my chest is rigid
Fixed
And there used to be bliss
There used to be angst
Now all feeling has fled me
I am immobile
And all the while
It was you smiling
You waiting on the wind
And your hands are softly swaying
Choosing this, in the staying
And you do stay the hardened heart's beating
And you do freeze the blood in my veins
Until I have turned to stone
Inside
But as the world is spinning
I am being solidified
Hardened

You waiting on the wind
And your hands are softly swaying

I Will Let You Light Me Up Like Fire
I will let you light me up like fire
And you should know about this:
The burning, hoping, waning of the edge
And there it is, again
The whim, once lost,
And now victim
To a ghost
And perhaps you'll let me slip away
Without the pain
Without the sorrow,
But then again I received you
And I believed you
So maybe this is just
Maybe fair
Maybe right
But here's the thing:
You left me staring
Gaping
At the un-shapen shadows in the distance
And I couldn't get there
I couldn't arrive.

In the Entrance of the Morning
In the entrance of the morning,
it is storming.
I let you in. I let you in.
Don't break me open,
I was so hoping,
that ice wouldn't be this thin.
I rest my head on your shoulder,
and in your boldest,
voice I hear it ,grim
Let me out of the daydream,
let me here to remain.
I want to be free
I am so sorry
so very sorry,
I held you here this way.
I want to be the good one,
the right one,
the kind one today.
But the thing is
, I can't really let go of your hand,
but yet we can never embrace,
So we remain here,
drifting and dreaming,
and I know the look on your face
So you speak in my dreams,
and I know what that means,
but we will have no serving of cold truth today.
I wanted to be better,
the one to allow you,
to happiness and escape
I am so sorry,
so very sorry,
I just couldn't send you away.
And so I still test you,
try to unrest you,
working in the back of my mind.
I hope you will find me
worthy of forgiveness,
when we get to the end of the road
I am so drowning,
in the depths of my shadows,
in the deepest pools of my mind.
I am so sorry,
so very sorry.
I wish there was another way.
it is storming.
I let you in. I let you in.
Don't break me open,
I was so hoping,
that ice wouldn't be this thin.
I rest my head on your shoulder,
and in your boldest,
voice I hear it ,grim
Let me out of the daydream,

And They Whisper To Me
And they whisper to me
Slowly, full of meaning
And I have fallen
Yes, failed
Turned to the bottom for sun
And on the run
And you left me wasted
Written
Wanting
You left me hidden
Writhing
Haunted
And I couldn't have been tempted
With the truth
Anymore
Not seeing this
And the future of trial in my own eyes
And I despised life then
In the twisted winter
In the cold grayness of loss
And I couldn't make it without you
And I started to doubt
The truth
And life became ruthless
And cruel
And I so wanted you to come back
I still do
Slowly, full of meaning
And I have fallen
Yes, failed
Turned to the bottom for sun
And on the run
And you left me wasted
Written
Wanting
You left me hidden
Writhing
Haunted
And I couldn't have been tempted
With the truth
Anymore
Not seeing this
And the future of trial in my own eyes
And I despised life then
In the twisted winter
In the cold grayness of loss
And I couldn't make it without you
And I started to doubt
The truth
And life became ruthless
And cruel
And I so wanted you to come back
I still do
Laura Beth Left
Laura Beth LeftShe did
In the sun
And we are here
And it is so near
The door:
Where we all come undone
Laura Beth was mine
In some sort of time
A sister
A mother
My guide
And now I am tossing
Cut loose and flailing
Trying to cover my eyes
And she kept me
From leaping
Off of the edge
From traveling down that road
And now there is no one
To sort me
Distort me
Keep me from all that I am
But is not right
I needed that fight
And now I am left all alone
Laura Beth left
And I miss her like the sun
Warming me up in the cold
