No Personal Fate

I have become a river
That gives no reflection
I am the razor without the cutting edge
Oh I've become sunlight
Without its heating rays
Who would want to make my summer day
When it's already been made

I feel so pointless
Time without a space
So useless
Clock without a face

Words spoken to an ear
Deaf to the voice
A life without fear
Still blind to pain
Please realize I'm here
Without love
I'm wasting away

I feel so pointless
Time without a space
So useless
A love without a claim

Oh my last prayer
Please be with me
I know no one cares
About a childhood dream
But I am yours
I don't need a name

What I wouldn't give to begin again
Just once is all I ask
To begin again
Begin again

I am a river
That gives no reflection
I am a person
With no personal fate

Here

My sweet darlin'
I can't wait till you come around
I need you here
To feel you all around
I was born in this town
And I'm fearful of what might be found

I saw you standing alone tonight
Dance with me under the full moons light
Please
Before apathy sets in and we both die

My problems are as large as yours too
At the end of the day it's your love and mine too

By The Way

The price I've paid
Fair enough
Due to the lies I've told
Now the truth I'm selling
Can no longer be sold

But why can't we laugh
Because that is all we have
Can we please put these childish things away
Where is the magic that we once had

There is nothing more to life than love
It's the one thing on which we depend upon

Please just dance with me
Remember how we used to dance
And how we'd move together
You are my torch
This all makes sence
By the way I'll wait here for you forever

There is nothing more to life than love
It's the one thing on which we depend upon

Who You Are

Despite how hard you look
You can't find the fault to call it off
But you tell yourself you never know
It might be for the best

No way you could walk away anyway
Because where else can you go
In truth is he worth all this
Can you honestly say yes
Because if you have to think about it, it's done

Seems that you loved him more then he loved you
Meanwhile you wished you had never met

Don't give up on me now
Dont give up

You've been up all night
Just like countless nights before
You've lost sense of space and time
You're friends become worried sick
You feel there are strangers everywhere

Don't give up on me now
Don't give up

All these little moments
You're so much more
This isn't who you are
Just seek my hand of comfort
And hold tight
This isn't who you are
There is joy far far from here
I just know there is
This isn't who you are

When it all fell away
How could you even know
That he slipped off into the night
Now you crave for something to call home
For someone constant to say goodbye or hello

Dont give up on me now
Don't give up

This isn't who you are

Far Too Long

This seasons love
I hope it'll last
God knows it's time
I've been alone for far too long

And when you see me, I see you
It feels so right
I forget how my heart gets torn
When I'm without you

Still there's times I feel that I can't go on
I need you

I run in circles
Over and over again
Like twisting a knife inside me again
If you love me
I've got to know for sure

Because it will take more this time
Than hollow lies
Before I open up my door

Because when I fall
I fall
Willing to lose it all
And when you kissed me
Under those mountain trees
You swept me off my feet
Oh how you make my life so sweet

This year's love
I hope it'll last
God knows it's time
I've been alone for far too long

Burning For You

Oh this winter
Like water and wine
Forever I'm falling behind
I don't want us
To fade tonight

There never was a rhyme
Nor was there ever a reason to lie
Just our sweet sweet love

Summer river
A thundering white wall
Not many nights like this
No no
I don't want to fail you no more

There never was a rhyme
Nor was there ever a reason
Just sweet sweet love

In the night I miss your body
In the day I miss your face
But no matter the time
I'm just your Valentine
Burning for you

Just A Thought

Sometimes it takes a good rain to settle the dust in our lives

Take time to enjoy the lightning and the thunder

my goodness, it is been a long time since I've been on here. I do apologize. A lot of stuff is gone and my life is taking my attention away from my writing. However I am here now and then when I keep on writing :-)

The Arms of The Wasatch

Can you feel the sun shining down on us, its rays
I know life plans can become undone
But all that is asked is that we follow the light
Even when we cannot see
The stars, Venus and the moon
They all shine for you
When its too dark to see

Oh pale Moon
Find her soon
Direct her towards me

The cold rivers and brooks
That freely run beside you and me
They all are alight with the sight
Of a silvery moon gleaming
All our dreams we expired
Across the campfire
The future we built for you and me
On the sparks they go
Where secrets go
Just for you and me

Oh pale Moon
Find us soon
So that we can see

The world knows this shall pass
And I know our love can last
It is written on left limbs
Orion has permitted
His visages be seen on our left skin

Oh pale Moon
Find us out
And make it soon
We cannot pretend to be watched
Any more
In the arms of the Wasatch

Now its me and you
The stars, Venus and the Moon
Orion too
Lord knows I will always love you

My Life

It may not be the right time
And Lord knows I may not be the right one
But we both know that there is something about us
I must say
There is something between us anyway

 It may not be the right time
And Lord knows I may not be the right one
But there is something between us
I have to do
There is our secret
And I will share with you

I need you more than anything that can be offered in this life
I want  you more than anything in my life
You mean more than anyone in my life
You know I love you more than anyone in my life

You're my life

Still Looking Out For You

Upset beset by more upset
Has you crying out your eyes blue
Oh I'd love nothing more
Than to be holding onto you

These steps are aching steps love
But I'll lead you by the hand
And we will fall into the blue
Oh I'm holding now to you

We are falling
The deeper that we go
And I'm falling now
Beneath the waves that crash your shores

Patience they say
For this pain will be your strength
Be strong they say
This will melt away

I'm still looking out for you

For You

You know I've been wondering
My train of thought has been thundering
Why won't you just stay?
No one knows anything about me
But I write my thoughts in poetry
Please tell me what part do you want to play?

I know I may not act like all the other ones
Because I keep my thoughts within
Sharing them, save you, with no one
Please let me be forgiven
And open up your ears and listen

Because I think I have something
I know I have something for you
Yes I've got something
And all of what I've got is just for you

Our love is like a fire
And this fire destroys as it rages
I just want to share with you
The bitterness I've been living
Set your mind to my destination
Lord there's no time to be wasting

I know everyone says 'play safe'
But they all are way too late
You know we are original in our own way
But you do what you do
You say what you say
I've not come here to play

Because I think I have something
I know I have something for you
You know I've got something
And all of what I've got is just for you

Just for you

In A Longe Time

I called you last night
The first time in a long time
I held my breath
Preparing to hear you say 'you're nothing but impending death'

And honestly
We got on like teenagers who slipped the scene
And through the phone line I could hear you smile
Stretching your lips most bashfully

Laying in my yard at night
Loving how the same stars shine within your sight
Just knowing how you do
Fills my heart like a balloon

I miss my home
With its mountains and patch work farms
But I would trade them all
Just to know you're OK
And no one is doing you harm

I Can Be

I can be your Christmas table perfectly set
Or the green wine bottle that condenses wet
Sitting in my finest suit awaiting your arrival
Like a perfect gentlemen

I'll be your backyard deck
That's bolted to the crumbling brick
Where you go and sit
In the evening on summer days

I'll be the angel wings
That save you if you start drowning
In an open tab
When your judgments on the brink

I'll be your favorite stereo that
Plays your favorite albums back
As you're laying there
Drifting sweetly off to sleep

I'll be your high heeled shoes
And undo what genetics have done to you
So you'll never have to stretch
Just to look into my eyes

I will be the scarf around your throat
Or better yet your winter coat
With your hood keeping you warm
So you won't catch cold

I've always wanted to take you far away
From all the shackles of this town
And kiss you warmly on the mouth
Where we can be free
From the towns sinking feeling
A fresh start for you and me

Everything will change
We'll gladly shout our names
The sun will heat the ground
Underneath our naked feet
Just for you and me

Sun

Please grow old along with me
They predict our best
Its yet to be
And when our time is done
We will fit as one

Just grow old along with me
Our branches stretch from our tree
Tilt to face the garish Sun
When the day is done
God bless our love
Just protect our love

Spending our nights together
Fighting questions together
Our world is without end
The stars shine without end

Grow old along with me
Branches of the same ancient tree
Leaves turned to the sun
The golden setting sun

Fine She Said

Fine
She just said this
All the dark night through
Fine
Is all I said
All the day through
Scratch your dark head
Wait and see
Its all in how you can disappear on me
Her eyes are the color of the stormy sea

Our fear has always been our number one
Surety was what we've been betting on
Its all in how you can disappear on me
Her eyes are the color of the stormy sea

To Be OK

I could waste this whole town
Wipe off my knife and lay it in the ground
We could sit through its reign
We could see through all their lies
And all their gains

I will not wait for you to break
There is more than just one way
To be OK

You speak of that soul of yours
In folding metaphors
I guess we'll always end up with more
Beat me to life
Singing your endless restrains
I've been hit by worded mouths
And I've been heavily medicated

Go and explore
The time is here
If that's what you've been waiting for
Just go
I'll be here alone
There is time enough before I hit the floor

We could destroy this whole town
Wipe off our knives and lay it in the ground
Our musical kiss through sheets of rain
Will out live all their lies
And all their games

Just being alive won't get anyone saved
And there is more than just one way
To be OK

Come Over

If you come on over
Our entire world
We can forget it
It all will drive you nuts
That's if you let it
Breath it in until you understand it
These graves go on and on

There's a light upon the hill tonight
There shines a lady bright
Its all the same
But you and I
Its over now
I know
Its alright

I know all about you
And you know all about me
Yet the 'us' remains  impossible

Come over and pretend you'll regret it
The madness will crack you up
That's if you'll let it
Hang on only until you grasp it
The world moves on and on

There's a light with in your eyes tonight
Its shines its blue tint light
Within there shines a lady
She's gold and bright
I long to wait for you and I
Its over now but

When I know you
And when you know me
The 'us'
It feels so possible

Talking

All your friend are well aware of whats going on
And still I try
As feeble as it might seem
Yet you would trade it all to go along with someone like me

Etched into the woodland trees
One can find all our history
Within the mountains rock for eternity
How you went along with someone like me

You did once before and had your share
Yet all of that led nowhere
I suppose I would go along with someone like you

I don't care about what has been
Or who you are hanging with
Let us sit beneath the stars and see tonight through

And this is how our love folds
Folds into a delicate paper star
And we don't care about who will see
Seeking eyes will always see

Between the magic of the fire
And your sunflower smell
I can't help but feel whats going on
Our hours seem, like clouds
To disappear

Lets just talk
Talk
Just me and you

Song For Two Years Ago

I would run across the red coals if you had called my name again
I would forgo my shoes
I would give up my beloved Rockies to be back again
And all their rivers too
Just to be alone with you

You freely gave your body
To the very lonely
Armored was your soul
Yet you would have given up
Your life, love and family
You gave your all
Just to be alone with me

For me to feel alone with you
I carve your name upon the trees
And to be alone with me
We hid near the mountains stream

Till now I've never known if you loved me
