I Will Keep You up Forever

I want you to keep me up forever
I want that too
And I will
Your heart I will fill
I started when we met
Fed you some more at the dinner table
Not only food
Started to tell the fable
I told you once there was no limit to my love
It is sent from above

You keep asking me what’s on my mind
Reminds me of another one in a different time
She was the only one I ever remember asking
When we’re together I think of her
Because her signs are everywhere
The special notes to show she cares
You own her favorite movie
The one we watched on our first date
We always thought was great
Our favorite soundtrack
We played to drown out our lips smack
When I sleep
She still haunts my dreams
I wake up and want to scream
Why do you do this to me!
The script of a bad movie
But, this is what is happening to me

You are the sun
You are a tiger
Perhaps the most fearsome fighter
I will hold you
And love you forever
In every kind of weather
But, I wonder...
Is my heart still beating for Eva?
I didn’t want to tell you this
But I can’t hide it either
You know what’s on my mind
Perhaps you have seen her

It’s been over between us for more than a decade
But to me yesterday, we were at the arcade
You told me you want to be loved
I said we all do
I wish for me now that was true
Cause I’m in love with a ghost
A phantom
Simply a memory
Everyday I try and break free
So I can let someone else love me
Like you
It is not fair what I do
Especially to you
And I am tired of hurting two
I’d rather it just be me
Since that is the way that it seems best to be

I’ve lived with a broken heart
For so long
It is basically my heart song
I know that tune well
That’s fine I’ll live in hell
Been living here for years
Drown my sorrow in beers
Swallow my own tears

I’ve seen and done things I wish to forget
Not that I regret
But everything says these messages are Heaven sent
I don’t even understand them right away
But I know they are part of the play
Who knows when
But someday
Until I can exorcise her out
I am sure you will feel doubt
I don’t want you to feel this way
I want for you
Only beautiful days
Basking in your own golden rays
I know they are there
Baby, I do care
But I’m the problem
I have been in that role
Since I promised the Lord I will do as I am told

Baby, you’re special
I am so glad I met you
And I am sad I cannot give you
What you deserve
I hope to send you one
Who will serve
Who will honor you
Most importantly love you too

Stay the Night

Will you stay the night
Just tonight
I just want your body next to mine
Feel your heart shine
I don’t need pleasure
Your presence alone
Is all I desire
Perhaps we could get cozy by a fire
I just want to be able to hear you
I just want to be able to see you
In your beauty that glistens
And glows
It might seem complicated, you will see
It is really simple
I just want to stay with you
So I will be me
When I am out and about no seems to see
Just blend into the background
A quiet din
Humming along
Writing my own songs
I want to share them
Can I sing them to you
They are not blue
A different hue
One that is almost as beautiful as you
But, I don’t just want to tell you
I wanna come over and show you
Lay next to you
Count breaths one two
Look into your eyes
Know you see through my disguise
No need to hypothesis
We’ve seen each other’s dark side
But, with choice
I decide
It is with you I want to be
In your eyes
Infinitely

Up Down Up

Let’s start from the top
All the way up
A place where the view is clear
The place where Heaven is near
Look out
See the vastness
Past, future, and present tense
Feel the joy
Feel the shine
Know the Divine
Like a wave we won’t stay up forever
We roll
Up
And
Down
On the way down
We crash, rumble and roll
The way down is not tragedy
Just what comes after up
We choose how
Graceful, a slow bow
Fast, quick, loud
Thunder on the shore
After down
Perhaps the best part
Back up
Pulled back
Returned to that beautiful view
The place where you see more than two
Look all around
Appreciate the ground
Marvel at all the sounds
Enjoy the colors
See sisters, mothers, brothers
Even when we go down
When we come crashing to the ground
We always go back up
Back to where we start
Back within our divine heart

Just Hold the Line

I’m calling
We can talk
You don’t have to
If you don’t want to
I’ll do the talking,
That’s’ fine
It’s not that I don’t care
about how you feel
It’s just, I need some time
I just need you to listen,
Say okay
That’s all, That’s all I want
I’ll take your breath

Don’t tell me what I’m not
Don’t tell me who I am
Don’t talk to me like
I’ve never had a simple thought
Ask questions that begin:
If I may
Please please
just be quiet, don’t shout
This will take awhile, for sure
But I’ve just got to get it out
