Hang Me Out To Dry

Hang me out to dry,

For I've been drenched in bitter tears.

Days like these are mounted on marbled headstones.

Death is leaning into me, here to rob my love.

It was my own who put me out in disdain,

Rejected me and hid away in safety,

Left me to wander alone.

He took refuge in his skin, sunken corpse.

His eyes shut, he forgets me.

Alone In Us

Why can't we steal moments,
Define our own gravity.
Encompass a world of make believe,
I'll wipe my tears on your sleeve.
In our little perfect fantasy,
Let your arms encounter me.
Take some time to fall in love,
Dance our feet into the wind.
Start our song where it began,
Open your eyes, my kiss you win.
My prince, my savior, my kinsman.
In the land you can be free,
No need to hide your self away.
Safety's in my love, remain, stay,
We are not promised another today.
Quickly, come escape life's tragedies with me,
Alone in us... you see.

Maddened Wreckage

Life has battered and bruised me.
It has taken me captive in its unforgiving chambers.
I search but know no end to this maddened wreckage.
I cry out for God to answer.
When will this chaos end?
I am the drum, he beats on me.
Does peace advise a friend?
A rage has struck down on me.
God, where's the restoring mend?

I'm a liar.

Yes, I'm a liar, for what I live in my dreams is not what I live in my present state of reality.

Tighten Your Wing Around Me

I feel like my insides are fading out,
Turning to an empty shallow of shadowed space.
Falling like my bodies waste,
Carrying embers of a fire that has burned out.
Confusion and self doubt mock me,
My stomach turns to a sickening as emotions take hold of me.
Anxiety's of breath push my chest in a hovering suffocation,
Answers I know not, just deepened thought.
Swirling, stiffening, let go of me,
This coma is raping me of my victory.
Lord, may your strength and Majesty cover me.
Peace be still, tighten your wing around me,
Let my blackened eyes see your love is my destiny.

Nameless Ship

My soul is in your glass,

My heart rages as a sweltering sea,

Blue willows weep as you look past me.

My body stirs as a nameless ship,

A beacon of light to a pirates coin

--Summoned flip.

I've mastered my dreams to make believe,

Spinning tales of a world where we can be.

Islands of visions, moons in star lit skies,

Dark winding roads vanish confusion by brightened fireflies.

Floating in the vast essence of your mind,

Our faces enriched oil without a fading of turpentine.

A picture painting of our history,

A story told of our love,

How it remains and will forever be.

Open Umbrella

This broken heart will carry you
These empty lungs will intoxicate you.
My open umbrella will catch your tears
Rebuild your weakness and bottle your fears.
Selfless vows will rejuvenate dried veins
I will straighten you out on my back bridged cane.
When life abandons you on mountainous terrains
I will quench your thirst with pouring rains.

'Just Pray'

God's presence was overwhelming in church today...praying that this fragile situation surrounding the Tucson events of yesterday are covered in complete love. Praying against a siding of black & white political views. Praying There is no democratic/republic rivalry. We need to find unity thru love & compassion. Healing rain on our community, our country, our future. ~k

Four Falling Stars*.:.*

There a moment in time stands frozen in my mind

A moonlit silhouette of us there.

Captured by your hands, safe in such embrace

The stars whispered glow on your perfection.

A thousand times I've played our scene in my dreams

Feasted my hunger on the sweetness of your lips.

The Universe draws us in like the tide of the ocean

Four falling stars of a fate we can not win.

In the depth of you I stare

Lost in your eyes, pulling in superfluous memories.

I can not move on, nor can I begin

For I'm lost in a world with you there.
