Asleep To Dream

When you tremble and shake 
it shakes my world apart.
When you cry, in my world,
it rains, it floods in here.
I'm lying here on the floor caressing your ghost
and before these memories loose there edge
I just wanted you to know that.

How long did I try to keep this all from falling apart?
I kept it all hidden while you carved your name in my heart.
Sleep is unnerving,
the dreams distorting your face.
Before the world changes I just wanted you to know that.

There's no place else I'd rather be, than inside here with you.
Please stay alive for me.
Don't close your eyes, don't fall asleep.

Don't fall asleep to dream tonight, You'll blur and fade.
These memories will close their doors and refuse to play for me.
Oh God how they played for me.
Now they fade away, please don't fade.

I'Ll See You Soon

I'm sleeping in your arms tonight
even though you're a million miles away.
I miss your lips and how they part
to kiss me a whisper my name.

We'll laugh as the sun runs away.
We'll sleep underneath the harvest moon.
Your beauty shines like a billion stars,
making all other lights bow to you.

The rain fell like angels to taste the earth
and my feet feel so heavy in these shoes.
I hope you can hear me from so far away,
because I wrote this just to let you know...

I'm coming home.

Absence of Gravity

How hard is it to breath?
Way up high in the clouds I'm just another craft.
About time someone woke me up but no one comes. 
A careless disregard of form and function,
the clouds swirl and shake to form cautious barriers around a bleeding heart.

Let the little ones take heed, for there are giants out there,
giants that stomp around this fertal land and take no pity on the smaller man.
Up here in the clouds it comes into full view.
I never paid attention to the spinning of the planet until I was powerless to stop it.

My arms stretch and tear only to have to cradle the world.
A balling baby in endless space.
I nurture, coddle and feed just like any natural mother would knowing full well that 
there will be heart ache, greed, anger and then leaving.

But there is love, lets not forget about love.
There is sweet surrender, happy tears and those strange uncomfortable 
silences cured by gregarious laughter. 
A jovial sense of well being that puts the sway of the world back into place. 

The barriers come down, a smile creeps up on me and I awake... in my bed... 
ready for gravity to take it's hold again.
