His Need To Be Free

Brave needs to be the man 
who keeps up with him on feet
he’s a prophet, a hermit,
a wizard
a gypsy, and a thief  

He knows what they think 
they tell you he’s off 
a little bit strange
his working with spells and potions
and vacations to other planes 
could very easily make
others feel some type of way 

He only asks you have belief 
in him and the love you lead 
just don’t ask him to change
for he couldn’t even begin to think 
of a life without you
and his need to be free

Stay Wild, Moon Child

I felt my heart fall from my chest 
Like a shooting star coming down to meet it’s untimely death 
I wondered where it had gone 
Where that star may have went 
Since nothing else was shining in the night
I looked toward the moon instead 
A grimace cratered her face 
She wavered gently in my misty eyes resembling a disapproving shake 
The heavens were against us
It is what it is, fate 
I knew what I had to do
But this was never me falling out of love with you 
I just can’t expect the stars to align the same twice 
This wasn’t an excuse to walk away 
I’d follow you like a planet in orbit 
If the universe let me have my way 
Those feelings we had for each other are somewhere out in space
not here on Earth where they should be 
But so the moon stays, 
Magnetically pulling me in the direction I should take 
So stay wild, moon child 
Don’t forget to smile 
And don’t ever let that fire of yours tire 
I wish I could mark this all up as simply a mistake 
But you and I both know for that it’s way too late

Wise Man

Wise Man

Just as the leaves begin to fall 
He gazes knowingly down at his crystal ball 
Just as he suspected after this summer long 
He’d be alone for awhile so to collect his thoughts 
He’s not damaged or timid 
Nor wicked at all 
He’s just known since he was very young 
That silence is better than fighting the cause 
Of what happened to what now is gone 
So now he bawls as he stands tall 
Like the trees around him
As their leaves fall

I Am

I have disfigured moles marking my body 
I’ve been accused by neighbors of being strange and naughty 
I’ve flown high as a kite on pitch black nights
Meeting with others for a fire to light 
I’m sometimes haggard, and not so proper 
I’m not what family thinks I have to offer 
I’ve self medicated with potions 
And always have excuses 
Of where I’ve been after a night of casting illusions 
My body is unlike the statues I worship 
And when my insecurity begins to surface 
I go and cavort with spirits 
To bury my emotions 
Mixing concoctions 
causing a commotion 
I’ve been the one accused time and time over 
I’m the snake whispering wisdom from your shoulder 
I’m the one you tell tales of in October
The one who knows what will happen before it can take form in a moment
I’m everything you could want and desire 
I Am the mystery you have been waiting to discover

Sun and Moon

Sun and Moon 

Trust me with your sky and I promise this, 
Rest now awhile, I'll continue to shine it. 
Give me your trials and with one spell I shall discharge them. 
Lay your celestial body on me now. 
A pillow of alabaster for your solace. 
But time, it must despise us. 
For whenever you rise up, 
I must decline then  
This cycle we must trust is right. 
Though sometimes I wonder if we will ever share the same sky

Love Potion

All you need is one more ingredient 
And this latest spell will be a definite success 
Your feelings, again, you'll never have to mask 
This love you wish for will forever last 

But this portion you need you'll never find in the future or the past 
Nor any substitute will suffice for what it is you lack 

You see, you can't seal a love without first having it for yourself 
Some things magic cannot fix 
It needs to come from ourselves

Selenophile

Stay up high
In the sky 
Don’t get close enough to say goodbye 
Because that’s all that I’ve ever known 
Still you glow 
Beckon through 
Illuminate the way to you 
Yet I still can’t help but push and pull 
But I don’t want to be by myself for much longer 
But I don’t want to let you in to see the truth 
That beneath all the cosmos and wonders 
Lies no more than someone afraid again to lose 
But we’re both alone 
We belong together 
Follow me through 
I can see all your colors 
Doesn’t matter your phase or your mood 
Whether you’re super or blue 
I’m in love with the moon 
I’m alone just like you

Why Love

Why, Love?

I love him with all I have 
why do we ask to feel this way again? 
when I'm alone this is all I wish 
Why? When I know it always ends like this 
and still after a million times 
nothing could ever prepare me for goodbye 
there's no alternate ending to this tale 
just the same mistake I make everytime without fail

I'M Not Even Mad

What you ask me is along the lines offensive 
What you perceive of me is directly your own intention 
When I don't give you what you please I'm only problematic 
But when I'm at your feet you tell me I'm the very best at it 
Your words are not romantic, but rooted and systematic 
You're much smarter than what I'd like to admit 
And you use that to your advantage, 
To bring me down to your level 
To believe being treated this way is normal 
You see I'm not mad, just disappointed 
There's a difference 
And this could've been avoided
