Everywhere I go, everywhere I look
I see men and women alike
Repeating the same routines day by day
Like a toddler circling the block on his trike
It seems to be the way of the world today
Back to the same place over and over again
An everlasting...

Leaves falling down. Brown leaves, pale green leaves, purple leaves. The wind picks up.
Lakes start freezing. The waters grow cold. Ice is forming.
Rain is transforming into snow flakes. A slow transition. The days grow bleak.
Warmth leaves the air,...

Men have cried for horses, money, sanctuary, and even God
but none have cried harder than for when they want love
it tears
it shreds
it claws
and it murders
yet we clamber further for it
we let it blind us and give us strength
it destroys...

Dancing
When you don't know how,
Still feels good.
Two left feet don't matter.

Hugged by your inhibitions
And snuggled by...

Hold closed the eyes
Feel the wet crease
Feel the new warmth
Feel all too much
Yet nothing remarkable
Not worth reliving
Deserve nothing
But accept the gift
Clutching back
Shiver and yearn
Remember, remember
And wipe clean
Fly over...

Oh, ballad of old
Telling tales so oft told
Grace us with your stories once more
Of a time that has come and gone; existing no more
A quiet story of a young and tender love
Pure and gentle as the moon high above
Two young souls
Tied together by...

Forever out of reach,
White sands covered in green.
Strangely enough on these seas,
Tropical though they be to these eyes of mine,
Every single one holds nothing but pine.
So I marvel at impossible trees,
And waters that hold a perfect sheen,...
