Once

Once in a blue moon we met
As if it were the first time
All the music fell into place
The moonlight lit the dark

I called for you
And you turned
And that smile, it never ceased
The night would never end
The world was ours, ripe for the picking

Once in a blue moon I held your hand
And you never let go
We were lost in the eternity in our eyes
We understood the depths of our souls

Deeper into the night
As daylight drew closer
And as I to your lips
Skin on skin
More and more

An unending search
Your skin
My touch
The warmth
Tenderness
And the longing

A moment frozen in time
The world just a kiss
The end seemed out of sight
There was nothing more than this

Once upon a blue moon
We fell in love
In that moment
And once, would never be again

So goodnight
Goodbye
Once
Caught in a blue moon
Forever in a moment

With me

It's three in the morning and you're still in the scene

But no one's really looking but goons and fiends

You're dancing with a chump and then you flirt with another

Your heart's on the edge how do you think it'll recover?

You pay for the drinks and you pay for his cab

You paid for your meal and his extra slab

Now why you keeping up with that broke ass loser?

He's been living in a fantasy, a real life snoozer

You're a princess to the world but you're a queen to me

Stop hanging out with jesters, you're in the monarchy

Why are you keeping up with a half-grown kid?

You follow him around and he's still got milk on his lid

I've been an ass, been a fool, I've had my heart badly broken

Got no time left for games I've got a bank full of tokens

I've gone through all the schemes, all the traps, all the stories

And now I'm wise enough to throw down this urban oratory

I know you've got them lined up, all your suitors look funny

I'll knock them all out like a left hook from Manny

I know you've never seen a love like this before

Got Faith Evans giving out the real fucking score

Stick with me baby and I'll leave you wanting more

I'll take you places you've never been before

Sipping Blue Label, trips to the South of France

You'll never be ready for this whirlwind romance

I'll make you see with your heart and feel with all your senses

I know how to touch, how to make your mind go places

Make you feel special, you won't ever have to doubt

I'm never going to stop till you finally tap out

And all I ask for all of this is nothing but you

Just give me your love and I'll follow everything you do

You'll be the only one, the last one, forever

You'll be this weary heart's one last savior

So baby, drop it all, take my hand, be mine

I love the way you smile and how your eyes shine

Be with me, love, and everything you'll see

We've got the world to discover, baby, just you and me

You

Days, months, years
Year upon year
An ever changing face

You rise and fall
Appear on pedestals
And come crashing down
You are past and future
But just not now

Small moments
Thoughtful words
Body parts
Filtered scenes
Familiar phrases
The quest
The breakdown
The anticipation

A history of color & texture
Of volume & melody
A cacophony in symphony
A beautiful mess

Tomorrow is a blank canvass
Peaceful, quiet, complete
Perfection in the contrast

Elevator love story

I see you
See me
Still no words, no labels, no names
Silence in this solitude by your side
An arms reach and a world apart

Everyday I look around
I wait, I hope, I tumble
Searching
Waiting
I know you're there but I can't find you
And there you are

What is in that look?
In that smile? That turn?
Every little bit
Stirred and broken down
You keep me in confusion
Bewitched & bewildered

It is clear as day
You are my light
But I wait in the shadows of time
And I can't take it anymore
What else am I waiting for
When it is you?

Everything in me knows
Who you are supposed to be
And who you will become
What's the point of playing around?

I see you
You see me
A smile, a hand, a simple hello
I look into your eyes now

It's our stop
Let's go

A million little pieces

Too early for bed
Nowhere to go
Towards the same retreat
Where are we going?

Back to the old timeline
Old habits, old thoughts
We haven't learned a thing
We're back to where we've always been

A thought left untouched
Kept from being opened
Harmless and petty
Without bearing
So, we let them in

Then the cracks start to show
What was hidden is clear
Fragile and about to burst

As the tears flow down
As the gentle sobs emerge
A final blow
An understanding

I am broken
I am beat
Beyond repair

Struggling to keep my act
I wear a brave face
I take comfort in my pretense
I'm okay
I'm all right
I am fine

No,
I am alone

My heart is broken
A million little pieces

I can't save myself anymore
I need You

Bittersweet

By now
The fights have faded out
All the doubts and negativity forgotten
What is left is an empty room
And time that doesn't seem to shift

Solitude brings the past to light
Of times when there was more of me
When there was more to life

When two people grow together
Their fates intertwine
One soul shared in two bodies
Where my hand ended, hers began
I am missing what I've let go
Open-palmed and unattached

I gave up a part of me
Let go of something good
Now only time will tell
Were we foolish or were we wise?

A season of light
In a life half-lived in darkness
Did the sun set too soon?
Or does daybreak just take so long?

I lost myself
But do I want to find myself?
Is what there is to be better than what was?
Or should I just have been content
In the comfort of our being?

Fallen leaves abound
Spring come sooner

Tears

There is a joy trapped within us
Past a certain point, it awakes
It binds together and slowly floats away
The memory remains
The ownership ceases to be
As if another self has walked out
Naked in the cold

Tears are words that need to be written
Pain, the child of love
The bitterness accentuates the sweet

Who are we to judge what should be?
We play out our characters
Our destinies lead us past the curtain close
