Lost in Space

 

Lost in the space between what could have been, and what was

I was color-blind to the red flags

I only saw you waving me in

and we danced like wild things

 

I was your Nancy

and you were my drug

I knew you would be the death of me

but you were a habit I couldn't kick

 

Oh, the subtly of words

and the intensity of a gaze

love is just another kind of drug

and I was living on it's roller-coaster high

until you sought another supplier

 

You loved, on the surface

while I loved with my heart

you were led by desire

while I - yes, I too was led by desire

 

But you would have begged to differ

oh, you would have begged

 

Now there is one less drug to seduce me

 

But I am the one left behind

the track marks on my heart make me weary

and I struggle with the need to fill them up

 

You know what they say about old habits

I'm just not sure which of us died the hardest.

Under the New Year's Moon

~ Under the New Year's Moon ~

 

Ethereal keeper of dreams

(realized, and destined still)

you're all about the timing, it seems

I rest my fate upon your will

 

your solace I seek, resting within a mystic midnight trance

a soul yearning in quiet hope

whispering wishes upon stars for the chance

 

hope gently takes my hand

as the moon shines bright

and the stars form a band

all is right, it's our dance tonight

 

but while you sate me with your spell

I know our dance will end with morning's light

bathe me in faith - that I carry it well

through all the tomorrows within your sight

 

the clock strums a melody, purging another year in time

may my heart travel peacefully with you

leaving shattered pieces of yesterday behind

 

the pressure and adventure of living mount

we all need another soul (or two) to cling to

showing us everything, every moment count

I raise my glass on this moonlit night to you.

The Color of Adventure

 

 

Dressed in pink, she said "hello."

He said "my name is Kai.

I don't like pink, and I don't remember you."

 

She just smiled and twirled and said

"hey, don't be such a surly boy

hey, you're such a pretty boy

you and I could rule the world."

 

More like 'rue' he thought in his head

but he couldn't look away

instead her looked her in the eye

and asked her "what's your name?"

 

"What's in a name" she laughed out loud

"call me what you like.

Just take my hand and follow me

adventure awaits, if you're not afraid."

 

He folded his arms across his chest

and said "I'm not afraid of you."

But his defiance was just an act

he knew he wouldn't walk away.

 

She fluffed her skirt and inched closer

"you don't trust me," she said with a pout.

"But I can make you believe

kiss me and you will see how important I am."

 

Her lips touched his, he didn't back away

and he knew his life would never be the same

as she whispered in his ear:

"welcome to my world."
