Varied verses jumping off my mind and onto the page, when the soul wanders… Take your pick

Torn
I’m prepared for the kind of love
That destroys
Tears apart
Limb from limb
Leaves you hungry
Thirsty for more
For once you’ve tasted it
Nothing compares

All for Me
It’s not about you
It’s about getting over myself
The one who gave you all
For free, love and life itself

In Dying
Caught my tears in your palm
My fears in your heart
Lifted me beyond my doubts
Shifted the sands of time
To be the smile I could die with

Gone
They were there, then they weren’t
Gone too soon.
You never know when it could be
Your last moment with someone.
So, don’t take anyone for granted.
Make the most of your time with them
Of their beauty, their energy, their love
For souls like theirs are so rare, so precious
Oh, so rare!

Cold
You fill me up
To pour me out,
Life me up
To bring me down.
Night turns to day
The swings lie empty
The sheets don’t dry
The blinds are drawn.
Turn down the lights
Stay awhile you could
Till the dawn beckons
And the love’s gone cold.

Of you
The night was filled with terror
It was you who I was running from.
For once I had all of you
Then most, some, now none.

Thank You
Just like that
You were all I breathed.
In one fell swoop
Swept me off my feet.
But I landed right back
Kicked off the dust,
Thanked you for ride
For teaching me distrust.

We’re Alright
The kids are back
My hair’s all permed
Your lashes are soft as snow.
Let’s make a night of it
Soak up the moon and a drop
Let it all go.
For the street light may be dim
But there’s a flicker in your eye
That burns bright for us.
We’ll be right as rain, love.

Burn
My spirit you crushed
My strength you weakened
My heart though is intact
My soul stirs within.
Be prepared now to get burned
By the fire that is my love.

Far from Home
Falling into you was easy
Tearing away beyond me.
Till I looked into your eyes
Saw the ghost of you.
A stranger I once called love
A lover no longer home.

Birdsong
Don’t die with the music in you
Let it play on.
As the songbird that keeps singing
Till the last beat leaves your bones
And lifts your soul
Over the rhythm of the rainbow.

Time & Again
Life in a grain of sand
Heaven in a wildflower
Infinity in your palm
Eternity in an hour

The End
Fill me with
Your heart’s best
Once More.
Watch as we begin again.
For the last time…

Face to Face
That brutal honesty of yours
Was a breath of fresh air.
It may have torn us apart
But it showed me you care.
