for you.

as the years have gone past
i cant help but think of you
just the simplest thought 
brings a smile of truth


down in the deepest 
crevice of my heart 
there is my blood
while we are apart


i feel paralyzed
and cannot move
with out you on my side
my days are doomed


i've waiting for so long
to hear your voice
to lure me in your heart
and i have no choice


your eyes are an ocean
your breath is my breeze
your heart is my star
as i sail your seas


i've been away 
for way too long
if i wait any longer
it will be all wrong


without you in my life
my days are nights
its settling deeper
with stronger fights


i wonder how you've been
and is everything okay
i would love listen
and hear what you have to say


i imagine you
at your best
with a lot of love
behind your chest


i want to be your vehicle
and tour your shores
take in everything
and be back for more


just from your touch
i know everything will be okay
i trust in every word
and cherish what you say


my heart is just for you
that will never change
beneath it all
i still wait.

when.

a mystery is here

it has taken place

with the swiftest of gentlemen

the eyes on the stakes

no time for error

cover up your mistakes

with only one clue

your blurry face

unable to move

not even the slightest of tongue

it is dark here

with gloomy skies above

the pale of your skin

hasn't seen the sun enough

resting on your shoulder

your bones could cut

the hound dogs howl

into the empty forest

with not one sound

except the hound dogs chorus.
