Who We Are

We only pretend to be friends
So it’s not weird if we don’t
And from the outside looking in
Everyone believes that we’re friends
The truth hurts

We only give in because we need
Certain things but it’s true
If I had to assume you would be there
I know not to rely on you
That’s real

I feel better knowing that I lie
In hopes of how you are behind
My back and fake tears that are cried
Because I don’t have to wonder
If you have plans

My heart says keep it to yourself
I feel the opposite behind your mirror
I sense that you respond completely
And antithetically to me
That’s just you

I could drink to kill the pain or to
Forget that you’re insane but then
I’d just wake up again to face
The ultimate fact of the matter
It’s just who we are

You Are Love

Before we expire
Before I predict the future
What were you trying to say to me
Through the fire in your eyes
That I am loved?
That I should not be solitary
Confined to a hopeless heart
A chamber of nothing and ashes
Reduced to the end of an empty glass
Or the last ember of a flame
Cancelled by my own nature
Could you pray for me
Could you ask the spirits to
Send someone to love me
For who I am and would it be
More than a fantasy to know
That even in all the good that has been
Anointed in me by the hands of
True love on my head of rectory
That I should know love the way
A flower sees the sun
That I should know no shame
The way a rose opens up to the wind
That I should fall in love with love
The way that nature has no name
Or that creation should bow down
On the sheets of amber grains
And cry tears of rain to the earth
Where from each drop that drips
Will grow the love over rose hips
Whispering again before we expire
You are love

We Are

Our souls are intertwined
You shine I shine
Jumping keeps us
Above the compass
Hidden in our blood
There’s still enough
Time left for Australia
Many more lines
Before we write the last one

If we spontaneously combust
We’ll do it together
Let our hair down
Turn our smiles up
Shakers of heaven and earth
Our fingertips rumble
The energy of everything
We touch intentionally

Mountains turn their peaks
As we fly by
The sky is a carpet
For you and I to glide
Independent dreamers
We wrote the constitution
Before language was born
A single letter streaming
In the shape of a heart

You Are More

You are more than
An empty building
A table with no one
To sit at
You are the dream date
I would wait to sit
Next to
Across from
The roller coaster ride
Inside my heart
I want to relate to

I watch the wind
Blow in the trees
Through my hair
Through the leaves
You are still
More than all of these things
I can feel you in
The frequencies
Around the vibrations
That beat in the
Water walls that flow
Down the Kahiwa falls
You do it all

Every shooting star
Every subtle test
A breath in every nest
The pulse inside my chest
Rivets for you
Rivers rush towards you
You call the wild
And conjure my smile

When we dance again
I will hold you to no end
From the beginning
Of our drum
To the pounding
Of our love

You are more
Than I have words for

You Are the Key

Intellectualize
Rather than live through
All the things
That we collect
To build our nest
The moon is almost full
But my heart is not
Without you

Emotional situations
Move through me
With grace
Take me out of this place
Where I have everything
More than I need
And gift me
One thing

You

This would be home
Enough for me
Fulfilling everything
I need

No lock upon my door
You are the key
