FIND OUR WAY BACK HOMEFIND OUR WAY BACK HOME
[Verse 1]
We dreamed once, you and I,
Underneath a younger sky.
Hearts unguarded, wide and free,
Believed in love so easily.
But time swept in like a bitter tide,
Washed away what we tried to hide.
We let go when we should’ve held tight,
Now I’m walking alone through the night.
[Pre-Chorus]...

A THOUSAND THINGS I MISS"A Thousand Things I Miss"
On this cold December eve
It’s just me and the moon
Thinking ‘bout that fateful night
You came to hear me croon
A shooting star lit up the sky
But I saw brighter in your eyes
Love at first sight, no need to try
Girl, I fell… and I can't lie
Tonight, I strum this old guitar
While my heart...

For you it is a different kind of sparkling fire.
For you it will only be us that I truly desire....

My inner voice is saying
You can do it, go ahead
I want to but my brain keeps saying
No, just stay in bed
If I listen I may try to go outside of my front door
And if I go will I go on to see if I can do more?
One step at a time
Scary as it seems
I think...

Gifts of gold and diamonds, you can put away,
Those aren’t the things that’ll make me stay.
I long for thought, for love that’s shown.
In ways that make me feel I’m known.
You go all out for others on special days,
With gifts and words and thoughtful displays.
But when it come to me, it feels so small-
Like I barely...

DESIRE OF AGESGod would rather crucify His son than to condemn you to death.
No other story matters so forget all the rest.
This only tells me of Gods love and mercy towards his most precious creation.
Guiding us through us it all in any situation.
He knew what Lucifer would become so He had a plan in place.
The savior, His...

Love RemainsLove is not a lonely island—
not the silence between two chairs,
but the song sung in unison
across a shared table.
It is celebration,
not separation;
a dance where both souls
move in rhythm,
not apart but entwined.
We know love
because God did not shout
from across eternity—
He came close,
whispering, I am with you always.
Not once.
Always.
Presence,
not absence.
Bridges,
not walls.
Love builds roads
where feet can meet,
hands can...

The Prismatic SelfNight time again. I ask for god to forgive me.
An hour passes, I blink.
I see myself in the reflection of my eyes.
Pages sit on my bed, unwritten, I don’t dare touch them
So they may remain complete in incompletion.
I shiver and heave at the thought.
Two more hours pass and I have touched them now.
I sip at...

FutileI accept you for what you are, what you’re not and who you’ll become . I want to know your thoughts so we can ponder collectively. I want to feel the warmth from your embracement giving me comfort and security. I want you to seek refuge and shelter within me. I want my name to...

TruthWhen I gaze into your eyes,
I see a void down in your soul.
I feel this tender longing,
to give my heart and make you whole.
Your mirrors whisper softly,
"Please come to me, share your touch."
My heart is being summoned,
I want your loving very much.
Words that flow from your spirit,...

Just YouYour smile does something to me
Your laugh makes my head spin
How you’re so patient
And I don’t have to say a thing
Even though I’m always overthinking
How your opinion alone is reassuring
And your presence,
though it may not be physical,
grants me peace that I’ve never experienced with an earthly man
Love sometimes is beyond confusing
When you’re...

A YEAR IN PASSINGJanuary wakes us weary,
New resolutions pressing heavy.
Then comes February’s charm—
A month of love, or wasted calm.
We march ahead into March,
Preparing for the chill to lurch.
April brings the planting days,
As a third of the year slips away.
Hope returns with open skies,
Maybe this month—maybe May.
June arrives with quiet tunes,
We wish the world would feel okay.
Halfway through, we...

Running in VainMisty paths darkened the way,
Better days, it seems are too far away.
Want to escape, want to run away.
But the ticking clock doesn't sway.
The mist doesn't fade away.
Running and running until my feet hurt
But can they see? My pain remains hiding in the dust
At one point after the pain, a question...

SamsaraNow quiet, settled, easy, leisurely
through life’s affairs,—say, couched in everyday—
and sipping being’s sweetest, freshest ray;
Sunshine!, Sunshine! ‘midst winter’s coldest glee!
Now troubled, disjointed, uneasily
fumbling, scrambling through dumb frowning time.—Gray-
-haired night’s murk weighs down gay light’s mirth filled play...—
tumbling through summer’s scorching cruelty!
An inescapable alternation
of gloom and cheer,(to be—and—not to be),
wheeling circles and cycles—infernal,—
recur, relapse, return...

If You Leave MeIf you leave me
The clouds will split open like coconuts
Acid milk will pour over your cities
Lightning will flash, skinny like my fingers
I will pry through the sky to reach you
I will travel through time to reach you
If you leave me
The wolves will howl
They will come for your flock of sheep
Blood will spill, dark like my...
