WingsIf I had wings to fly,
I'd breathe in deep
and spread them wide
as I leap from the cliff
into the wind
where the seagulls glide.
Crossing this wide sea
I glide above cruel waves
that reach up
to drown my flight
in their cold and deep
blue-green graves.
And as your day grows slowly light
I'd arrive on worn-out wings
to hold you in your...

I DreamAs I look at the stars at night
and dream of what is to be,
my heart begins to smile
for it is you I see.
Knowing that you're close,
yet so far away,
I dream of you at night
and think about you every day.
For, every moment without you
seems like an eternity.
I dream of the day we kiss
and I can hold...

El Mismo Abismo Destructivo Bolso
Pálida, quedará la Luna
por tú decepción.
Pero alumbrara aún
está y mil noches
que vengan
a través de la persiana
de la alcoba.
El árbol, copozo
de mango y hoja verde
que alimentado siempre
a los dos
por la sequía
de tu ausencia
no sé desplomara.
Tus pertenecías junto
a postales con Rosas seca
y poecia ardiendo
de pasión,...

My sould was killing my flawsI look at my soul killing its flaws. I appreciate it and let it do so. But when I came back to earth to show them a perfect human, I realized my mistakes made me who I am. Without my flaws, I am just a perfect human—but not me.

Games Without ValuesLast year we played with steady ground,
one rule for all, the truth was found.
No favoured few, no shadow deal,
just work and heart - the common seal,
and every voice could claim their name.
Our coach back then, from distant shore,
taught more than drills - he taught us more:
that trust is built on equal weight,
and discipline decides our...

All About YouYou're my focus all the time
You're the ink in the design
Your's the name inside the vine
Hoping one day they combine
You're the grape that makes the wine
You're the purest gold so fine
You're the pencil, make a line
Then draw your heart on top of mine
You're the polish, how you shine!
You're the...

New from dyslexic temple mountNew from dyslexic temple mount...

SMOKE IN THE MIRRORsonger.co/song/yo0fzxviemznpn1djgo9w8ts
[Intro]
Smoke in the mirror, haunting my sight,
Shadows whisper secrets in the dead of night.
Face don’t fit in this cracked reflection,
Searching for a sign, but it’s just rejection.
[Verse 1]
Heroes crash with a hit and a hiss,
Life's a gamble while we play like this.
Gold teeth shine, but their glow is dim,
Dead eyes stare, where did the hope...

Fall Years Are Beautiful
My beautimous man is my favorite visual treat.
Times staring at him are times I often repeat.
His blond tendrils hang down, outside his do-rag,
and are curls my fingers just have to twirl and grab.
Fierce, piercing blue eyes allow his gaze to melt me,
happens all the time and never do I ever mind.
The rich pay surgeons for...

Not Like YouSome say you are the best one,
sure have you a try,
you got curves that imprison
every straight man’s eye.
I thought we’d find our own path,
to see each other’s worth,
but we were just so different
that it all felt like work.
Both sides of every issue,
soon peace and quiet died,
sought solace in the bedroom,
the sex a pleasant lie.
Suppose we...

The Pier Can't Always Keep You Where It Wants You To BeYou stand with your suitcase like a buoy,
bright, bobbing in the shallows,
and I am the pier—
rooted, barnacled, smelling of old salt and rope.
You tell me you’ll stay
if I keep my hands wrapped round your ankles,
but I know the tide you carry in your ribs.
Even on windless days
it pounds against my palms,
shouting for the open mouth...

Passion8Unfettered passion
Right from the start
Untethered passion
Straight from the heart
Unbridled passion
Hold on for the ride
Unspoken passion
There's nothing to hide
Unselfish passion
You're first to arrive
Unforeseen passion
Lay back I'll drive
Unfiltered passion
I'd know where to go
Unending passion
Just trust me, I'd know...

The Next Big ThingEvery time I see your face
My heart leaps in my chest
And when perchance you wink at me?
Here's what happens next...
It's something like an atom bomb
A stick of TNT
All at once, explosions
Go off inside of me
No one's ever done this,
Had this effect before
Can you conceive what it'd be like
If we both had the more?

Either I've Seen You Or I Want To, How Could I Be Mad At That?The horizon is a blade—
it glints whether I run toward it
or watch it withdraw.
Each dawn splits me open,
spilling a slow trickle of salt,
as if the sea is feeding me to itself,
one grain at a time.
I know the undertow’s handwriting—
it pulls not to drown,
but to measure how far my lungs will stretch.
Even in absence,
the shore presses...

Dance Across the MoonLove is sometimes subtle
like a dance across the moon
or a cool evening’s breeze lit by stars.
We smile, and then we turn away-
these modest games we seem to play
like Venus calling silently to Mars.
“Come hither,” says a sultry look,
a statement that a lover took
as seed of an emotion...
