Katrina

you call tonight and we made light
of the sickness that's moved in
you'll never know how it scares me so
the rubble your left in
Katrina, I could damn your name
but it wouldn't change a thing
we both know if there's some one in need
that's where you're going to be
Let me just say a tear starts to form
when I hear our four year old say
"New Orleans, my Daddy's home,
until every things is better"
and I eves dropped on his little prayer
that made me cry out loud
"God, keep my dad safe, he's like Spider Man,
he's always wants to help out"
Our baby girl learned "miss you daddy"
and looks for you in every truck
The way she babbles on all day
to the play phone by her ear
saying "love you dad", pretending you can hear
It's selfish, yes, I'm ok with that
but I want you home tonight
where I can hold you and see you'll be alright
Just know when you are out there
and it gets hard to always be strong
through all the distance and the days
I'm with you all along.

when all eyes are closed

in my dreams we sit by silver lakes
under moon and sparse star sky
you whisper to me from you heart
without single breath or sigh

i too send you my soul's desires
yet this time we only sit
kept motionless by our waking lives
to which we remain true
there was a time i couldn't believe
i'd ever be without you

oh sleep, take me fast
to see my true love's face
for nothing in this reality
could ever take his place
and only when all eyes are closed
can our love again be right

your touch was once enough
to warm my entire universe
but now i can only have it
on the other side of wake
all the same it's still enough
to make me radiate

i'll never say the truth out loud
of how you'd pull me close
you'd kiss my neck and then my lips
i felt our bodies merge
your hand upon my back
i can no longer resist
engulfed in true love's passion
the moment becomes ours
just as it was then when
our love was real for hours

oh sleep, take me fast
to see my true love's face
nothing in this reality
could ever take his place
only when all eyes are closed
can our love again be right

i asked you once
"go to the top of this world
and tell me how it fills you"
your heart heard my words
purest of form in night
only when all eyes are closed
can our love again be right

cold morning in February

i don't know who i'd be if i never had you
you made me shine, you made me whole
you were my every thing and I let you go

first time for so many things
you taught me passionate romance and
my favorite memories are the ones we share
i always thought you'd be there

cold morning in February
when you didn't come home
to hold you and love you was all i'd known

for so long now all i have is memories
and hopes that you'll be back in my arms
these are my breath through out the day
wishing for promises that you'll forever stay

our visions of growing old
our children that we never had
i dreamt of my babies naming you dad

halloween night spent on the sofa
Christmas eves with our friends
nights under the stars close to you as could be
i knew the moment we met you were the one for me

how does that get lost
and where does it go
for all the love we shared there is nothing to show

pieces of my heart and unanswered questions
there isn't much left in this empty room
only pictures and traces of where you once were
i thought what we had would last for sure

i don't know who i'd be if i'd never had you
you made me shine, you made me whole
where are you now, my best friend and my home

who you are

Laugh when you feel like laughing

Cry when you feel like crying

and Love whenever you get the chance

Breath life in for all that its worth

don't let your voice forget how to Sing

don't let your soul forget how to Dance

and never forget who you are

because you know I've loved you all along

To Dance With You

i want to dance with you
the way two stars do
when they've crossed paths
becoming forever lovers

so closely that they can't help
but remain side by side
so in sync they seem to become one light

drawing the other nearer
until they collide
their light
their purpose
explodes into the night

i want to dance with you
the way two stars do
when they've crossed paths
becoming forever lovers

creating a beautiful flame
that burns all the same together
together

i want to dance with you
the way two stars do
becoming forever lovers
together
