Oooooohhh
I hear the sailors cuss
As she anchored me deep within her love
I whispered mutiny
caught between the devil and the deep blue sea
She sent me up the pole (ooohhh)
When I sunk within what’s so damn beautiful (oohhh)
Batten down the hatches (ooohh)
puzzling love together with lost ghost pieces
Maybe trim my vast sails
or try to scrape my creed from bottomless barrels
To show my true colours
With faith that if you have black blood- you’ll bleed yours
Ships passing in the night (ooohh)
As the crow flies life flashes before our eyes (ooohh)
a dream within a dream (ooohh)
So here’s too wishing you fair winds and calm seas
Chorus:
If freckles shone in night skies
They would reflect the dark mysteries within your eyes (Oooooohh)
Skin graphed maps bleed simple truths
That they always guide me back to love’s treasure within you (Ooooh)
I hear the sailors cuss
As she anchored me deep within her love
I whispered mutiny
caught between the devil and the deep blue sea
Chorus
If freckles shone in night skies
They would reflect the dark mysteries within your eyes (Ooohhh)
Skin graphed maps bleed simple truths
That they always guide me back to love’s treasure within you (ooooh)

Broken Wings

If you had broken wings
Would you learn how to walk
If your tongue got cut out
Would you find ways to talk
If your eyes got gouged out
How would you see beauty
If your knee caps got crushed
How would you fly free
What goes up must come down
What would you give for love
As you crash to the ground
What would you give for love
As you crash to the ground
If your world turned on its head
From 1 day to the next
Would you fold the hand delt
Or hold onto what’s left
If your sunshine turned black
How would you see light of day
And with your broken wings
How would you fly away
What goes up must come down
What would you give for love
As you crash to the ground
What would you give for love
As you crash to the ground
What goes up must come down
What would you give for love
As you crash to the ground
What would you give for love
As you crash to the ground

Dandelion petals
Get picked to fall upon my feet
Painting my doubt yellow
Wondering if she can love me
Can she love me
Heart shaped sunflowers grow
In golden fields of broken dreams
Under the red suns soul
Somewhere out there in the country
In the country
Dreams Of a Simple life
Making love with my country girl
Beneath sable black sky's
Filled with shimmering poised white pearls
With Poised white pearls
If It's wrong, if it's right
To dream babies into this world
To lay down at her side
Press lips on a bump and toes curl
Her toes curl
I'm a simple man
With no grand master plan
Just a dream with in a dream
Of love, family and the country
Love, family and the country
Dandelion petals
Get picked to fall upon my feet
Painting my doubt yellow
Wondering if she can love me
Can she love me
Heart shaped sunflowers grow
In golden fields of broken dreams
Under the red suns soul
Somewhere out there in the country
In the country
I'm a simple man
With no grand master plan
Just a dream with in a dream
Of love, family and the country
Love, family and the country

State of Grace

Sometimes I need to ask
The demons who unmask
their faces under my feet
If they might be the same
demons who rise in flames
within stark naked beauty
sometimes I question sin
to digest it’s poison’s
and bleed it’s creed on white wings
that suspends me to hear
above heavenly tears
your innocent devil sing
Chorus
is it the depth perception
that I endlessly chase
or karma’s requiem
that I endlessly face
or is it just true love
to merely embrace
to find my state of grace
state of grace
sometimes I lose all senses
when my bruised heart undresses
loves pulse to beat against mine
and in that second kiss
we found momentary bliss
screaming down corridors of mind
sometimes I scream out god
who seems deaf to my calls
so I shout silenced whispers
to the one I dream of
beyond the ghost of love
I spiral down to find her
is it the depth perception
that I endlessly chase
or karma’s requiem
that I endlessly face
or is it just true love
to merely embrace
to find my state of grace
state of grace
Sometimes I need to ask
The demons who unmask
their faces under my feet
If they might be the same
demons who rise in flames
within stark naked beauty

Autumn Conundrums

Autumn Conundrums
As the leaves colours
Stumble and falter
Into another season
The beauty in her
Reflects of feathers
Weaved within shadows of Autumn
Burnt orange bleeds reds
Outlining blueprints
Of the path to your beauty
To question my doubts
I blindly shout out
To a love my heart can’t see
So let rain fall down
From Autumn clouds
To soak our dances
As I roll the dice
To make it tonight
But what are the chances
To connect with true colours
And to feel her love textures
Beyond dreams one day
But the closer I seem to get
I remember to forget
I’m only further away
Vibrant mustards
Turn into auburns
As all beauty in life dies
Only to erode
Into bloodless ghosts
And I dream of sparkling eyes
To connect with true colours
And to feel her love textures
Beyond dreams one day
But the closer I seem to get
I remember to forget
I’m only further away

Besides

Besides
Don't know much about politics
Besides that we're all going to hell
In a hand basket
Don't know much about religion
Besides I scream out to deaf gods
Without any reason
Don't know much about poetry
Besides it is what's tangible
To set my spirit free
Don't know much about stained shadows
Besides the footprints left on my heart
Carved deep within my soul
All I know is my simple truth
If love has ever existed
I didn't miss it with you
All I know is my simple truth
If love has ever existed
I didn't miss it with you
Don't know much about innocence
Besides who can plead guilty
On these islands of cement
Don't know much about plans we make
Besides our efforts at solutions
Are too little too late
Don't know much about falling skies
Besides I'll be there with my hand out
To catch tears falling from your eyes
Don't know much about anything
Besides at the end of this hard life
I hope to hear love sing
All I know is my simple truth
If love has ever existed
I didn't miss it with you
All I know is my simple truth
If love has ever existed
I didn't miss it with you

I wish I felt your legs
Wrap around words I write
To feel your heart undress
I wouldn’t need to think twice
I wouldn’t think twice
I wish I taste poison
Within the depths of love
So that I can savour
True substance in lover’s blood
In lover’s blood
I wish I inhaled the
Fragrance of your spirit
The details lost and found
If it ever existed
Ever existed
I wish that I could see
The beauty within your stance
And turquoise confetti
To bury our first dance
Our first dance
Above the wishing well
Pockets empty to unveil truth
If love really exists
Then I wish not to miss it with you
Let my wishes come true
Wishes come true
I wish you could whisper
Loud enough to hear
you can call me poetry
Before dream disappear
Dreams disappear
I wish that my sixth sense
Was heighten enough
To trust intuitions
To guide me to true love
Me to your love
Above the wishing well
Pockets empty to unveil truth
If love really exists
Then I wish not to miss it with you
Let my wishes come true
Wishes come true
Above the wishing well
Pockets empty to unveil truth
If love really exists
Then I wish not to miss it with you
Above the wishing well
Pockets empty to unveil truth
If love really exists
Then I wish not to miss it with you
Let my wishes come true
Let it be with you

Madhouse Love

Baby this love of ours
Cuts, heals, plummets, and sores
To bottomless depths and endless heights
Baby this love of ours
Silenced in bliss that roars
Packed with a punch that brings me to life
Baby this love of ours
Blisters within flowers
In the naked beauty that it cries
Baby this love of ours
Wraps fingers around curves
With passionate love until it dies
Baby this love of ours
Is mad house crazy
Baby this love of ours
Is mad house crazy
Baby this love of ours
Cuts heals plummets and sores
To bottomless depths and endless heights
Baby this love of ours
Silenced in bliss that roars
Packed with a punch that brings me to life
Baby this love of ours
Is mad house crazy
Baby this love of ours
Is mad house crazy

These wings gifted with colors
marked with intangible beauty
brush strokes from the creator
With pomegranate crimson seeds
blood oranges and sapphires
drip like setting suns into seas
violet indigo shadows
melt within the wake of sunsets
with magentas and emeralds
shimmering wings graceful spirits
iridescent after glow
stains on the backs of my eyelids
the majestic butterflies
beautiful painted wings
as my heart bleeds out my eyes
for the precious things
for the precious things
These wings gifted with colors
marked with intangible beauty
brush strokes from the creator
With pomegranate crimson seeds
blood oranges and sapphires
drip like setting suns into seas
the majestic butterflies
beautiful painted wings
as my heart bleeds out my eyes
for the precious things
for the precious things
violet indigo shadows
melt within the wake of sunsets
with magentas and emeralds
shimmering wings graceful spirits
iridescent after glow
stains on the backs of my eyelids
the majestic butterflies
beautiful painted wings
as my heart bleeds out my eyes

I miss your love like salt
would miss the seven seas (ahhhh)
and how my fingers miss (aaah)
the callused kiss upon steel strings (aahhh)
I miss your love like ink
would miss your paper wings (aahhh)
and how my fingers miss (ahhh)
to dance on ivory teeth (ahhhh)
I miss your love like sin
would miss pure innocence(aahh)
and how dawn would miss dusk (aaahh)
within the thrusts of naked embrace(aahhh)
I miss your love like seas
would miss the moons stark dance (aahh)
of rising falling tides (ahhhh)
like weaving thread between hearts pulse
I host regrets
for losing your picture of love
lost ghost secrets
blood-stained bullets upon tongues
hidden gold locket
that whispers “is love enough,
is love enough”
I miss your love like salt
would miss the seven seas (ahhhh)
and how my fingers miss (aaah)
the callused kiss upon steel strings (aahhh)
I miss your love like ink
would miss your paper wings (aahhh)
and how my fingers miss (ahhh)
to dance on ivory teeth
I host regrets
for losing your picture of love

blood-stained bullets upon tongues
hidden gold locket
that whispers “is love enough,
is love enough”

Sometimes ones self identity
Doesn’t come easy for all of us
Down many broken roads walked on
It’s hard to recognize the lone wolf
Sometimes the words I say get lost
Over noise that screams your not enough
So I hold your heart and whisper
Please be yourself that’s who I love
Beyond the world that spins
Sometimes you need to doubt your doubts
About what beats on the outside of my skin
And just trust
Trust in us and my love
Please just trust
Sometimes it’s easy to forget
To remember what stole your pulse
To Run circles around your mind
As a living ghost in chaos
Sometimes I wait for words to feel
Life written within tears and blood
So I hold your heart and whisper
Please be yourself that’s who I love
Beyond the world that spins
Sometimes you need to doubt your doubts
About what beats on the outside of my skin
And just trust
Trust in us and my love
Please just trust

Oooohh
Unfold the layers that I carve
To scope beautiful curves with words
That spiral down from my inside
To break down walls between our worlds
Break down walls between our worlds
Sculp my souls in broad daylight
And separate the black from white
Shave my scars that shines from distant stars
And catch my hollowed spirits eye
Catch my Hollowed spirits eye
If truth be told
I don’t fear getting old (Oooohhh)
Oh my spirit flying free
more than becoming a ghost (Oooooohh)
Trapped in the cold as a ghost (Oooh)
Unfold the layers that I carve
To scope beautiful curves with words
That spiral down from my inside
To break down walls between our worlds
Break down walls between our worlds
So I question why the mask tethered suits of humanity the sky earth
In the footprints for us to hide
If truth be told (
I don’t fear getting old (Oooohhh)
Oh my spirit flying free
more than becoming a ghost (Oooooohh)
Trapped in the cold as a ghost (Oooh)
If truth be told
I don’t fear getting old (Oooohhh)
Oh my spirit flying free
more than becoming a ghost (Oooooohh)
Trapped in the cold as a ghost (Oooh)
