I Hear Human Voices

Read to me
sweet words written
a voice like opium

More, yes more
my veins pulse
on each spoken word

Here I dwell
between two worlds
spoken and poppy field dreams

Each word tattooed
within my heart
I feel no pain

Words of opium

Water So Deep

Do not drown me
in tears of lost love
this water so deep

Breathe, just breathe
gasp for love lost
save me, save you

What of lost memories
those times, like air bubbles
slowly ascend to the surface

Down, down
in depths, no breath left
my lover, last thought "Goodbye"

Returning Here

I stand within a memory
time I can not control
I would mark a spot

This point I lost
how many loves ago
mist comes to eyes

Sunrise greets
so many smiles undone
words fell silent

I still stand here
rekindling memories
endless, forever this spot

I Walked Along Your Shore

In this time , this space
the clock, the heart
pause in silent echo

For once in a time
now far gone, dusty
veiled blacken out love

This was the end
absence lost, drifted
the thunder of lust

I once listened
deep within my ocean
sounds from a sea shell

In this time, this space
the clock, the heart
ticks in endless sorrow, echoed

Lesson Learned

I guess I really never understood
when you said "Hold the string tight".
"I said I would"

I guess I really never understood
when you said "My heart is in your hands"
I said "I do"

I guess I really never understood
when you said "Let me go, Set me free"
I said "OK"

I guess I really never understood
your heart was like a balloon
that I let slip away.
