At Land's End

~ At Land’s End ~

I’m searching for a brand new world
to live and love with souls unfurled
look inside and you will find me
at land’s end, where I am most free

Essence captured, no need to roam
a place to make and call my home
share my sight, and feel what I see
at land’s end, where I am most free

Kiss the sunlight, sing to the sky
love in freedom, and don’t ask why

watch my heart soar (does yours agree?)
at land’s end, where I am most free

I’m searching for a brand new world
at land’s end, where I am most free

In Darkness and Love

~ In Darkness and Love ~

I saw you through the clouds of someone else’s fears

in that place where all reason disappears

dark and brooding, misunderstood

a dark angel, they saw more harm than good

You looked right at me, I couldn’t move

battle of wills, what had we each to prove

that I would abandon all for you

and to me you would never be untrue

A pact was made, lives to rewrite

we’d come together upon midnight

you told me sleep, and then I’d see

in a dream, you’d come for me

When the dream came, I held my breath

you whispered “forever starts with death”

with my eyes closed I went insane

the transition nearly inhumane

I saw my funeral, mourners wept

an unexplained end they could not accept

helpless, I watched them from above

if only I could tell them I’d died for love

You watched me wrestle with my grief

and compared yourself to a lowly thief

for selfish reasons, stealing me away

just so you could love me without delay

I saw your truth, and I remembered

that my days on earth were always numbered

it would have been a matter of chance

as to when, or if, I’d find true romance

My face the world will soon forget

and I’ll follow you, with no regret

to hear my name, forever from your lips

as we love in the shadows of our souls’ eclipse
