Party's Over - 1988

I lit another cigarette,
As I watched you enter the room,
Handing your fur coat over to the host,
Who ran his hand through his dark hair,
Clearly stunned by your beauty,
Your midnight blue dress,
Hugged the feminine curves of your body,
Causing my heart to race,
As I looked away for a moment,
Composing myself,
I didn't want to believe it,
I didn't want this to happen,
But I was falling madly in love with you,
A love that could never be,
So as I struggled with my feelings,

Underneath the Winter Boughs

Deepest ocean of your eyes
Soft green and unfathomable black
Looking through me and beyond
Thirsting for the wellspring there

Wish upon the waters cold
Cistern brims with boundless love
Yearns to fill your empty pail
Replenishing your life’s elixir

Drink of me so I may give
Myself to loving purpose grand
Take your fill of earthy draught
Irrigate this vein of lustful dependence

Wanting to Passionately Know

Who is this Girl ?
This Dark Madame of Rebellion ?
Has She ever Loved before, and if so will She Again?
Keep in Mind, I am her Friend,
A Simple Plan, To Be Her Man,
Maybe One Day Even Take Her Hand.
Can We Step To The Path of a Broken Heart,
And Bring Ourselves to Sow The Pieces That Were Torn All Apart
Just to show Her How Strong our Love Could Be,
If She could only See Herself through Me.

Road Less Traveled

You look at all those around you
And think "I want to be like that"
Well, I'm here to let you know
You need to cut yourself some slack

Being different isn't a bad thing
Do you think legends are the same?
You can't just "follow the crowd"
Not if you want them to know your name

When you feel overlooked and mistreated
Just keep living your life your own way
When you are made fun of and excluded
I want you to know, they'll regret that one day

In My Element (Erotica)

Sky diamonds aligned
Cosmic bursts at night
Brightly colored auras
Etched in hazy moonlight

And his kiss was spirit
Entering my body
Awakening the dead inside
Every emotion took a hit

His touch was fire
Setting my soul ablaze
Crying for more
The need was dire

Breathing in tantric air
Our scents intermingled
Pleasure surged like raging water
Then it was over

And so I wait
For his promised return
Under night's velvet blanket
In a spot meant for us alone

Strength

There are something's
in a person's life that will
show them how
strong they really
are.

What will your strength
say about you?
Will you be the
greatest there ever
was or will you be
weak and fall?

Believe in the strength
and the power that
is certainly within you
and you will flourish
greatly.

Your strength will never
stear you down the wrong path
nor will it the right
one.

But be true to yourself
and yourself will be true
to you.

January

My haunting fear, you inspire me to write.
How I hate the way you stay, stuck and sit,
Invading my mind day and through the night,
Always dreaming about the hypocrite.

Let me compare you to a sanctuary?
You are more rising and suffocating
Snow chills the berries of January,
And wintertime has the daunting dating.

How do I hate you? Let me count the ways.
I hate your vaunting cold, empty and dark.
Thinking of your great empty fills my days.
My hate for you is the mackerel shark.

What is home?

What is home? It’s a number
A number on a door
Home is where the heart is
But I still sleep on the floor
I don’t have a home
But I do have a heart
I’d like to hit rewind
And go back to the start
What is home? It’s a place
With a familiar face.
What is home? it is safety
It’s comfort, when in need
What is home?
Its where I grew
Grew like a seed
What is home?
It’s a place that doesn’t stink of weed
Like these streets, in this town
What is home? I don’t have one now.

cover me

cover me in the richness of soul
in highest hopes or deepest woe
in empty darkness, in heaven's glow
full of wonder, filled with hope

cover me here and now
beneath blue skies, behind the plough
over yonder, above a cloud
beyond forever, inside a sound

cover me for it is true
love is blind, love is cruel
love is fine, love is blue
love is master, love is you

cover me where i roam
where mountains climb or rivers bow
where fate decides the ebb and flow
where worlds collide, where love is born
