Verse 1: Hating can hurt...taking off my shirt 
Fading can make you feel like dirt 
Sometimes, I feel beautiful and high as a kite
Other days, I feel like a cow patty on the ground...you love...

It will be wintertime very soon
Here comes the evening moon
Gradually, we'll be shining like the sun
Eventually, you and I will be made as one

The time...

You’re my Phoenix from the start in flight
You stole my only melody
Made it stronger, baby
Loveshine, I still love you
I love you true
I love you, I do…
What about you?
Only His time tells…
Will you free me like...

Solace snowflakes fall upon my cheek
Been stressed out throughout the week
Saw the crystalline fractals of ice fall too
When I faced a sentimental winter so true
When I faced a sentimental winter with you

Flurry of snowstorms rush...

In the sunshine, I’m feeling fine
In the sunshine, wish you mine
In the ocean, love’s beauty’s divine
Into the sea, our souls entwine
Our souls intertwine and flow so fine
Hold me throughout the night this time
Hold me tight...

Conjuring and challenging my silly, puny solitude…
Enduring and foliage of squalid grief…left me in the nude of the wintertime 
Sometimes, I wander…I wonder…I ponder so good
I am naughty this wintertime, up to no good…misunderstood all...

It’s hard to believe in myself, Lord, in these times of tribulation
Can’t stand that you’re turning into someone else in frustration
I’ve been extremely bewildered for so long
How can I belong? Was I in the wrong?

Listen to the whispering's of the unhushed winds gently echoing,
Ever so softly swaying, as through a tender exhaled breath of warmth,
Delicately reawakening mother earth from winters hibernating sleep,
Broken, shattered is the frozen icy spell of...

From every birth to every death
Underneath the sky
Every day in moments of music and tears
Every week month and year
Opaque and clear
The constant continuum
Containing millions of shades
From blades of love-grass
To mass of pain and scum
In between
The...

Sebastian is gone
The spirit of Alexandra is still there
Her haunting aroma of lavender
Still lingers through the dark silent rooms

The couple did not know
what they were in for
when they rented 
the old apartment

Sharon noticed first
Shadows that...

In December 1776
the revolution was at a low ebb,
the patriots had lost at Long Island
and the survivors through New Jersey fled.

Desertion was high as many soldiers
though the cause had been beaten, and was done,
Cornwallis pushed...

and every day a brand new dollar came,

I am a heart full of love
that shook the pilars that held her colussium up

I swing such fury toward her heart and soul
she cowards away from me,
in fear of falling in...

Above a cloudy jar of brine
That floated greenish hard boiled eggs,
Beside a Schlitz beer waterfall
That told bar time (ten minutes fast),
A taxidermied Jack-A-Lope
With rabbit ears and tiny rack
Stared marble eyed into the dark.
“We don’t have...

I noticed that You left me with nothing to lose
These scars bleed and I’m a dried-up seed
Heal my heartache and tear apart the bad news
Oh Lord, I’m sorry for being full of greed

The Snow Queen

The Snow Queen waved her magic wand,
the skies they grew so dark
Clouds moved in without a sound
as shadows did embark

Two happy lovers walked along,
they felt a chill blow in
He wrapped his arms around...

Place your hand on my heaviest 
Graves, those that winter in my depression,
Kiss away the buttery jonquils of spring
Erasing winter’s frosty promises
With hope that comes from seeing 
The freedom of...

To church to  give thanks for  God's goodness
That old lady again sitting at the church entrance 
All day she collects pennies from parishioners

You’re so damn priceless
Wish you were prideless
I’m in this rut of a mess
But, I’m making progress 

Not so hopeless after all
I’m not feeling like standing tall
I’m spiraling downwards
I’m talking backwards
I have no words to say...
