BELIEVE

 Hold on to me

With your strong arm

With your worshipful eyes

As the organ drones on

I hold your arm tight

Something to believe in again

RELENTLESS

 I plunge my hands

Into the warm dirt

As I reach heavenward

Praying for a good crop this year

I have been unlucky so far

This year I am relentless

This will be my year

THIS LOVE

 This love

It can repair itself

Before I lose myself 

Lost in you

This life

I made it all with you

I keep pushing through

This love for you

I AM HERE NOW

 She said. you try

You try moving something heavy

Like rocks clanging 

Inside you

Searching for help

From this nightmare

For the one person 

Who will help

The one person who will say

It's okay

I am here now

GET WHAT YOU GIVE

 He said

You only get what you give

And in your eyes

You give me the world

Show me the way to live

TAKE ME BACK

 Take me back to the moment

I first looked in your eyes

What a nice surprise

You left me hypnotized


Take me back to the moment

When you first walked away

I couldn't make you stay

You just walked away

SPIRIT DANCE

 Any would love them both

Hear this house so whole

Hear laugh window ache

Other raw frantic garden dance

None are sad music book

Heavy art rock spirit chant

VALLEY

 Fresh breathtaking valley

Beside dead imperfect promise

Why approach the girl

And appear faster

The absurd instant

Our valley sleep pattern

THE ROSE

 You are my rose

Delicate and beautiful

Made mystical with thorns

Bringing tears to my eyes

Show me how to love you

And I shall do the same

THIS MOMENT

 Scared again

I'm scared again

Scared again of you

With your steel-blue eyes

With some kind of madness

Beginning to seep out from edges

My life is only worth this moment

LOVE YOU

 This is  going to take a long time

Knowing what's mine

As you slam the door

We were laughing only yesterday

Seems like so far away

But I want more


All I wanted was a lucky day

All I wanted was so far away

All I ever want to do

Is love you

MAD

 It's up to you - 

To draw the chalk lines

Say it's so sad

Even when it isn't

And I am quietly mad

AUTUMN

 Autumn leaves, crackling leaves

Every year the same yet no on believes

In the passage of time Mother Nature grieves

For her young son growing as nature perceives
