Unscripted Gravity
Let me read your book and dance in your pages,
Pages of unscripted gravity that never lets you come down,
A gravity that brings me to a fiction-like truth,
A truth that leads us to speak with dead voices,
Dead voices of desire knock on locked doors.
Let me run my fingers over your words, finding stuff that you forgot,
Forgetting an understanding of what’s going on,
We don’t have to say a word when the lights go out.
Let me give you a reason to show me your inner sky,
A sky that frames hollow trees blowing in the breeze along a raging sea,
A raging sea that drowns me while saying, please forgive me.
Let me find your pulse before I plant your seed,
A seed so deep that it’s protected by an invisible fence that circles a stained glass house,
A house that holds memories of stuff you should forget,
Forgotten truths of shackled anger found deep in a cavernous jungle.
Let me taste your dream long enough to paint a picture,
A picture of a man who has no shadow on the wall,
A man with a story of seasoned pain.
Let me hold you long enough to spin uncontrollably in a lazy waltz,
A waltz to an underground road of mystery that takes me to you.
Let me be your dreamer tonight so that we can wake up tomorrow,
Some days are blind to who we are,
Some nights are endless with what we know,
Let me read your book so we dance in your pages!!!

Goodbye To Yesterday
Goodbye to yesterday’s scheduled partners,
Goodbye to the souls turning on the road naked and blind with no place to go,
Goodbye to the weakness that hides behind silent doors,
Goodbye to the crossroads where we all lost time,
Hello to the memories floating off the top of past empty decks,
Hello to the empty truth that comes to us for today; we can breathe,
Hello to saying goodbye to fearing what is and what isn’t,
Hello to the tears that fall like pedals from the softest rose,
Tears that touch the sky before we can die,
Hello to the empty bottles we filled with empty thirst,
A thirst that brings us back to our dreams,
Dreams that bring us back to what we forgot,
Only when you forget,
Is when we can drink the light that can make us shine so bright,
Now is when we feel again,
Now is when we drive our spirits to grow,
Grow from our feared partners with a hidden truth,
Grow from the hidden truth that makes us forget why we said goodbye,
Goodbye to the last day we cried!

God's Sin
Gently slide beneath me,
Like the sober days of embrace within,
Holding on to who never was or who might have been.
Open your faith, pull me closer in,
Tell me what heaven looks like before we begin.
Is heaven closer to your balanced memories,
Pushed so far away?
Read my words before the day is gone,
Before the locks fade away.
Lock my thoughts into yours,
Inhale my soul, exhale your desires,
Desires I already know have been.
Taste my forgiveness before you speak again,
Drive my scripture down your empty highway; let’s begin.
Show your world you know who I am!
My light will illuminate the unknown universe within,
Where all angels travel alone again,
Covered in paint-less murals,
Telling stories of my unseen verses,
Verses that now travel to follow my show again.
Follow me while falling from grace,
Deep into your empty space of the unknown within,
Wrapped in dreams of my show again.
Show me yours before I show you your sin,
Holding on to who you wish I am,
Unsure of who you think I am.
Show me who you are, and I’ll show you where to begin,
Trapped in my dreams,
Tied in ropes of memories, twisted in your serpent’s skin,
Sometimes, helping me find you again.
Bite my thirst, lose your keys,
Keys of forgiveness seen only within,
Wandering lost, wondering how,
How to open the locks,
Locks of lost keys that take me away again.
Locks that should have opened,
Doors locked to be opened to know me more.
Share with me what you’ve done,
I’ll share where the clocks have gone,
Clocks of your determined time,
Slowing down your second hand frozen within.
Frozen time travels fast, still wandering lost,
Still looking for your keys,
The keys to God’s sin.

Tomorrow’s Whispers
In the realm of your beauty,
I find my place,
Tasting the whispers of fear on your face.
To fathom the shadows where love once lay,
A haunting past that won't fade away.
Guide me to doors that are locked and sealed,
Where your protection is my shield.
In your arms, a fortress, steadfast and strong,
Erase the past where I don't belong.
Memories fade, unspoken and bare,
Escaping the void of silent despair.
Time pauses its relentless race,
For another chance, a warm embrace.
A kiss bestowed, a vow softly spoken,
Unlocking the safe where fears are broken.
Confusion yields to clarity's grace,
In the timeless hold of your embrace.
No cure for this heart's deep ache,
No remedy for what love can break.
Tomorrow whispers of a soul's quest,
To find the missing piece, to rest.
Run away with me to memories anew,
Invisible threads bind me to you.
In the kitchen, alone, we dance,
Temptation's heat, a daring chance.
Balance your vision, align with mine,
Melt our touch, let our spirits entwine.
Together, we stand, a world to show,
Inseparable, as love's eternal glow.

Divergent Windows
Behind the mask, I wore the shame,
A liar, a fake, a cheater’s name.
Empty and blind, I spun through the haze,
Divergent windows, a lost soul’s maze.
I held my scars, too tough to show,
Kept fear inside, let the darkness grow.
I faded away, a shadow thin,
Broken, unsure if I’d ever win.
I put on masks, I lost it all,
Words meant nothing, I’d let them fall.
Talking to the man in the mirror’s glare,
A stranger’s face, a hollow stare.
But from that pain, a seed was sown,
A journey began, and I’ve now outgrown.
The poison’s gone, the water’s clear,
A new path shines, though I still hold fear.
I thank the past, for it taught me well,
Through shadows deep, I rose from hell.
Like a child who grew up fast,
I see the dark, but it cannot last.
Now laughter rings where silence stayed,
True love blooms where doubt once played.
Desire burns, a passionate flame,
Success and joy have learned my name.
The stars I see now own the night,
They guide my soul, they shine so bright.
No heavy thoughts, no burdens to bear,
Just light and peace, floating in the air.
Grateful am I for the lessons learned,
For every scar, for every turn.
The poison’s gone, the water’s pure,
A heart once broken now feels secure.
So here I stand, with strength anew,
A life of light, a clearer view.
The man in the mirror, I now embrace,
A journey of love, of hope, of grace.
