All Around You

Not all the wealth in the world
Can clothe a human being in love
Look to the infinite
Universal healing
Love that is all around you
It is free
You were born with it
Inside you
If you still can’t find it
I will hug you
Come and find me
Or tell me where you are
And I will meet you there

The Difference

I suppose the difference
Is me
I imagine impossible
Possibilities
I want what makes life
Easy
To come to me
To come to us
But I feel also helpless
Almost boring
Not because of you
But because of me

Goodbye to being
This carefree
It’s turning into
Thinking about
Too many things
That’s what being alive can be
Even unintentionally
To try thinking less
And just being
Sounds very comfortable
But not realistic
Wait and see
I’m hopeful
I’m happy we had this moment
I feel a bit like timber
In a forest full of trees
Fallen down
Quietly
Or leaning
Heavily at least
Towards you

Why Do You?

Why do you tear me down
When I need you to build me up
When will your insecurities
Stop stealing all our love
Why are you so reckless
With my feelings
Why are you so clumsy
With my heart
It’s like you have no awareness
At all for the fires that you start
What about the moments
You’re tearing us apart
It’s no wonder I don’t want to be touched
When you constantly hurt me this much
This song should really be called
It’s All About You
Your insecurities fly away
With all our feelings
On a plane

I just need a cloud to rest
My heavy heart on

Finding Me

Feeling forced into a situation
But fighting to save it
Two very different dynamics
Working against each other

What does anyone say my dear?
Where am I?

Who is this?

You don’t have to respond
You aren’t required
Skip over the hurt knowing
That if we focus on the negatives
The positives divert-

Paint my nails yellow
Hang in
Hang on
Don’t recreate the moment
Wait for the moment to come
On its own

Kiss someone if I want to
Feel good about it
Be myself
My whole self
Completely
And see what happens
That’s…
Something I haven’t been
In a long time

How intoxicating

Undone

I said I was done
In my dreams to you
It took everything
In me to get it out

I yelled
But I barely had any
Voice left to express
A chord less shout

Still I heard myself say

Let whatever
Makes you dark and dull
Be gone

Even if people criticize you
And say that you are wrong

Right

I was right about you
Perhaps you were wrong about me
We cannot love
What we resent

How many pieces
Can I fall apart into

Enough to love you with my dear

How many teachings
Can I open my mind to

Enough to grow with you my dear

Why do we have to
Pull away to be seen?
What does the word
Comparison mean

To you?

There is something
About the way
That you look
At me

With such beauty
And intensity
It makes me want to
say my words differently
To you-

Why does it seem
That all the upset
Is just useless

Bootless is the journey
Walked in barren dreams
It’s fruitless to be
Futile when we can be
Complete

Into Light

Sun at my back
Starlight at my front
Wind on my face
Every thought wants to
Remind me of the beauty
Of this place

Like I’m walking around
Inside the corridors of
Your heart
Remembering the best parts
Of being free with you

No room for judgement
But many doors of prophecy
Etched along our sacred walls
Painted in typography

We open every gate
Walking bare foot over stones
That remind us of our strength
Of what we have to hold
Wandering the caves and halls
Like the stars we used to know
One day we will see
Each other there again
As we did before

Ancient connection
Of acceptance that can
Find it’s way to you
So familiar to the past lives
Our souls are privy to

I will never misplace your energy
I will always remember your smile
I could find you in a world
Of thorns and darkness
Mountains high

The echos of your laughter
Shake me to the very core
Rings the bell tower
Flips the switch on
Calls me out of
My conch home

Folded hands together walking
Down the steps of life
We carry one another
Through the darkness
Into light

Rest

Rest my head on
Your shoulder
A place to comfort
Everything in me
You make me stronger

You make me want you longer
Better than the rest

I don’t always want
To let go
I’m not ready for
Our time to end
When did it begin?

I watch you say goodbye
Like I’m looking down a
Distant tunnel
Escaping my view

Calling out to you
Don’t go
Even though
It’s not the last time
That I’ll see you

I know it’s silly
I just really love
To be with you

You tuck me in
Even if I resist

When I give in to you
Dreams of our love
Are coasting through
My head
Until I’m resting
In your arms
Again

One Step

One step
Two step
Three step
Four

How many steps
To count before I
Reach your heart’s
Front door

Open wide
Come inside
Is there a welcome mat
For me?

Is there a couch that
We can climb into
Build a fort for two
Sprawl out underneath

Is there a backyard
With a swing
Mind if I have a tent
To bring?

Talk about the things
We love
Reminisce about
Our future
While we dance
Beneath the stars

Build a fire

Roll around in
Blades of grass
Beneath the moon
Jump into the pool
In our birthday suits
Play Marco Polo
Find the love fool
I can feel your heartbeat
Pulsing through
The ripples
Splashing
Up and down
You need not make
A sound

Is there a bed upstairs
We can roll around in
Where sheets end up
On the floor
The morning after
So much laughter
We shake the walls

And as the sun
Comes up
I stroke your head
We pull ourselves
Out of the bed
That will not let us go
Entangled in your legs
I adore the memories we
Reflect on especially
Over eggs

My Match

Feel the chills
Little
Every hair
Rising for you
Simple lift
Spiritual gift

Up my arms
Travel
You
Up the back
Of my neck
And down
My legs

Intensity I
Met my match
And
It was too much
To receive
In my ear
And tongue
At the roof
Of my mouth
Incomplete chords

Innocence of memory
And absence of me
Innocence of memory
And absence of me
How could it be?

I met my match
And it was
Too much
To receive

You Left

You left your glow on me
Yesterday
Now every time I see
Myself in the mirror
I turnaround to you
All over me

You left your smile on me
I can’t seem to get away
From this impression
On my face
It’s just your magic touch
I guess

You left your love with me
Because I feel two
Heartbeats beating
In my chest
Somehow you
Did this
To me

You left your warm embrace
Weighing on my shoulders
On my back
In every single particle
I feel you
Holding me
Even though you’re
Not here

You left your spell on me
And I am conjuring
The moment we can
Do it all again
Because it’s clear to me
It’s entirely your fault
I feel so good

You left me this way
