Listen to the song: songer.co/song/zno9jbgddbdsebdipbrqumf6 [Verse 1] That mountaintop, a distant thought, High feels so low when I’m alone, If I had known the weight of regret, I’d have never let you go. [Verse 2] I remember way back then, Just you and me, no need to pretend, We laid on the sand, chasing clouds, Hearts unspoken, but so loud. [Chorus] Now I’m out on this raging...

Her skin drinks light like rivers take rain, each dappled edge and sun-struck curve, a landscape under my hands, soft yet severe, where desire meets the edge of breath. Fingers trace the small hollows of her hip, catching sunlight in each soft valley, dipping, trembling, as if they might slip into some dark, endless tenderness. She is a map of quiet fires, a fever...

I mend fence for a living, but I ain’t fixed the one that matters. The wire stretches out like a scar across this land, and most days, my hands don’t feel like mine anymore... callused, cracked, barbed wire bit deep across the knuckles, rosebush caught me reachin where I shouldn’t’ve. Still... none of it hurts like the hollowness in my chest where my little girl...

In the dark of night, where dreams bear bloom, and silence reigns in my shadowed room, my pillow waits, serene, composed, awaiting my sleepy head to doze. Beneath my head it yields its form, to cradle my crown from day’s storm, and offer a sweet night’s repose, yet pillow’s thoughts, who really knows? She seems so sweet, pretends to care, yet every night disturbs...

She appears like a quiet flow of gentle timeless and pure glowing show from a waterfall of sustenance. Smooth skin, angelic sweet of a gift touching my demonic diary memoirs, frozen in time as the pages flicker and re-writes like a newly pressed hand. Her eyes a purity of splashes of green illustrated mesmerizes me with a gaze loving silk sown teasing dress, fiery red silky worship of...

I escape to a shiny lake where waters are calmer, my mistakes are not raked and the nights are warmer. Without sting rays and cold-ness of days, This town is deserted buildings flood vacancies I dream of flirtation and of illumination, so much for singularity, bringing one to peace. Thoughts are floating like ashes in the summer. I begin playing, A lost & found harmonica....

I must grow used to longing for your absent face— with weeping eyes, accustomed to the ache. My cup lies empty now. From this moment on, I shall fill it only with regret. Though I am far from you, whenever I close my eyes, you appear— seen by the heart, called by a hundred whispered prayers. Where is the one who, in the night of parting, sighs into the...

I drank a sip of coffee from the hand of that gentle beloved— and with it, I said goodbye. Yet the bitterness of parting never fades from memory. Grief beads like blood on the brow of longing. I wander the alleys of your love, seeking union— my sighs and sorrows rising past the seventh sky. Time gave me nothing but a goblet filled with blood. Perhaps it has vowed to...

Below the starry skies a beauty dance, Love struck, I fall with every glance, With eyes and a smile full of grace, An eternity I long to spend in her embrace, Miranda, a beauty in whose eyes I wander, With all in heaven as your admirers, In love’s sweet tides, this king descends , To weave with you a story that never...

In this moment, I see visions of bed sheet caught in slow motion, I see crinkles in corners of eyes and smiles that turn into giggles, I see screaming fingers tips up and down my skin, I see something new to brush my fingers through, I see him grazing his facial hair on my upper thighs,...
