Love travels like that

6/8/2005

When did I see you last?
Did you smile and kiss me back?
Was it this life or another
Was I your muse
Were you my lover?

I can see the stars from this place on the shore
I can see the stars through foggy tears In blue eyes

I was with you in that moment
You didn't know it was me
but love travels like that...
It was my hand
that brushed the hair from your forehead
with a soft ocean breeze
it was my breath
and my kiss
that lightly touched your cheek

It felt to you
like something between 
a lover walking near,
the wind
and a mystery...
you may never know
But it was me
there on the shore with you that night.

Because love...
Love travels like that.

in secret languages

In the midst of this new beginning
I make a vow
in secret languages
alone and under my breath
will this stand till the final hour
will I admit my deapth
I ask not for trite answers
or argument
I know this place
I know myself
and an hour better spent
I have seen the outcome
of resolution
firm and undenied
honest and untried
I know the light that lives outside
of moon and sun
when day is done
I have seen the eternal visions
with or without revisions
my soul speaks and will not be unspoken
my heart beats and will beat on  unbroken
I know truths no one can tell me
and I will never buy these boundaries
that they try so damn hard to sell me
and my lifestyle may border yet
on insolence
but it's better than indifference
What I have to say may be course and unrefined
this song I sing
may beat out of time
but the truth I bring
will never cease to speak for itself
I know what I've seen
beyond the light of day or stars of night
and I know the life I live is beyond
rationale and sensibility
but I know what I am capable of
no one can tell me different
I will not accept only what I see
I will not collect the expectations that others
pass to me
I will live the life of my own choice
I will not decline the freedom of my voice
I will live my life unfettered and free
and trust in a truth I cannot see
with my eyes alone
my spirit is brave enough to step into the unknown
Because I know that there is more...
I know that there is more and I want it
I want it all.
