A lover's presence is always welcome here.
Hear me, and see me as I am, always.
For my dance comes from that sacred place.
It dwells in us all, don't you know?
We are so much more than we know,
Sometimes we fall and can't find our way.
Though love comes along and saves the day.
Love comes in many forms, like rainbow-colored lips.
So kiss me and tell me you love me always and forever.
My heart beats for all that is good and kind in you.
Maybe someday you'll notice my face in the clouds.
Sometimes feelings get pushed into the shadows.
We escape into illusions thru our rose-colored glasses.
Then we only see things through mindless wanderings.
As our egos are never content to stay in one place for long.
There is deceptiveness as our eyes keep us from loving fully.
For I know you do not have to welcome me into your life.
If you do not like what your heart hears or sees in me.
Though I ask this of you, come take my hand.
Let us see where the day takes us.

deceptiveness, love, relationship,
Form: Lyric
Going to sleep each night in my own bed
Realization that there is life after addiction
A real reason to continue fighting
Tears falling in happiness
I am learning to accept
Tonight the stars will shine for me
Under blue sky is my place
Deceptiveness flees
Everything is new to me

My worst fear is to be trapped in a world, where nothing is real;
A terrestrial nightmare that's just a façade.
Existing in a realm where there's nothing to feel;
Living beneath a Heaven, where there is no God.
Escalated fears in the absence of rule,
Leaders circumventing our every natural birthright.
Usurping freedoms and sharpening their tools;
Powers that govern, in the darkness of night.
Sinister sovereign rulers, their powers unclipped,
Expressing total suppression over the land.
Where righteousness, its virtues now stripped,
Succumbs to the darkness, as the wave to the sand.
How dark is the night, that never sees day;
Naivety of the lamb; an injustice absolute.
How deep the ocean; how crimson the bay?
Man's inhumanity to man, the devil's commute.
I'd suffer the pangs of the samurai's sword
Rather than see my children languish in despair.
My worst fear is their absence of any reward,
In a world riddled with deceptiveness, almost beyond repair.
Where is the justice in this world so unfair?
Nothing other than the silent voices of the people,
Will ever free us from this most nefarious nightmare.
