Why You'd Wanna Live Here

We both know the distance
That separate us
Yet I still feel you
Often see you
In everything

My memories are still vivid
I smell your scent in the air
See your smile
In children’s eyes
Remember your pain
In another’s cries

The miles may try
To keep us from remembering
The bond of friendship we have
You have me, I have you
And there’s nothing that distance can do

My memories are still vivid
I smell your scent in the air
See your smile
In children’s eyes
Remember your pain
In another’s cries

Thinking back
I can’t help but smile
Those times, those crazy ones
And I get pangs
Missing them, and missing you

My memories are still vivid
I smell your scent in the air
See your smile
In children’s eyes
Remember your pain
In another’s cries

I’m happy for the times
The memories
Laughs, smiles
Everything I keep close to me
Now and then I sense you
And I can’t help but smile..

Red, White, and You

Red ribbons, garland of gold

Pine trees glisten in the cold

Stars high up in the sky

Christmas is in the air

But the wind is cold without you

Snowflakes, clean and white

Colours blocking my sight

Jolly jingles sound all around

Cups of hot chocolate

Try to warm my soul

But everything feels stale without you



Presents wrapped in red & green

Christmas stockings with jelly beans

Happy children dancing around

Life with colour all around

But it’s grey without you



Love enough to fill an ocean

Christmas is a magic potion

Everything so white and serene

Christmas means love

But I feel alone without you



Candy canes, chocolate, and pie

When families draw nigh

Carols are sung

The fun has just begun

Cause it’s Christmas night



I was cold, blind, and alone

Searching for Christmas

Until one day I found Christmas

In a lonely corner

That was when I met you….

I'm yours...forever

I never saw you cry
I never stopped the drops
That were clearly from down within
I never stopped the inner thunder
That sought to ruin your day

Forgive me, I'm such a fool
I never meant to be so cruel
I never wanted to hurt you
You can curse me, I deserve it
I can see the pain spilling out of your lips
I want to stop the rain from falling

I'm yours........forever

I felt you bleed all night long
I saw the drops fall
The blanket covered you so strongly
I fucking never meant no wrong
But now I see how bad the wound is

Forgive me, I'm such a fool
I never meant to be so cruel
I never wanted to hurt you
You can curse me, I deserve it
I can see the pain spilling out of your lips
I want to stop the rain from falling

I felt the waves crash over your head
And seek to drown you
I tried to save you
I fucking tried to save you
But I was left in the dark

Forgive me, I'm such a fool
I never meant to be so cruel
I never wanted to hurt you
You can curse me, I deserve it
I can see the pain spilling out of your lips
I want to stop the rain from falling

My lips are burning from what I said
My words are forming but their not coming my way
I want to touch you, but you seem so far away
I want to save you, but I have no way

Forgive me, I'm such a fool
I never meant to be so cruel
I never wanted to hurt you
You can curse me, I deserve it
I can see the pain spilling out of your lips

I bleed to see you smile, I hate to see you cry
I just want to hold you
I want to get you out of this hell
That they call home

I'm yours, I'm so fucking yours!

Lay back let me heal your wounds
Draw back the tears cause I cant stand another drop

I'm yours, I'm so fucking yours!

Forgive me, I never wanted to have to stay
If you want we can runaway
I want you to know...

I'M YOURS, IM SO FUCKING YOURS!

Blue Circles

Blue circles..circle around our overheated bodies
Touches of complete ecstasy
Kisses begging for response
Stuck in this world of
Everything from desire to love to need

Waiting, taking it slow
Yet not letting go
Not letting your soul
The privilege of going
Out of control

Whispers whispering
Things that make your imagination run wild
And your fingers touch
Places that senses
Dare not go

What you do to me
What I do to you
Leaves the soul
Clenching, wanting
Not willing to be left alone
But crazy enough to ask for more

Day goes to night
But neither of us leaves each other’s sight
Love spills from every hole
And is immediately absorbed in the soul.

Back in Swing

Ever since the middle of August things have been hectic, to say the least. Things that were almost a given were suddenly crowded out by work, work, and work.

And more work.

Oh well. Such is life. Of this backward lyricist.

I’ve been able to put some of my songs to music, which I’m very much looking forward to producing. I like to think of myself as a solo artist .. and one who has no equipment whatsoever at that .. but hey, it’s the thought that counts no?

All that to say .. I’m back. In full swing.

…That gives me an idea.

The end

Here I lie
In my pain, with my disguise
Shadows, cold and dark
Hide you from me
I need someone here
A touch would suffice

Reach out your hand
Just one touch
Would be enough
To save my life
Kill the pain
Walking alone in the rain

I cry in this place
Of total desolation
The lovely feeling of desolation
Being the only one alone in this world
Just kill the pain…
Tell me in not insane
Bring me back to life

Hold my hand
As we walk through this world
Ever rejected
I have you
You have me
Oh just kill the pain
Wipe the tears
And hold me near
..Just please don’t ever let me go….

bon anniversaire.

My fellow deux-dichter is having his birthday today, so I wanted to write something in honour of him. Well, I don't know you half as well as I'd like to, but what I do know is that your freaking hilarious, creative, smart, musical, an amazing song writer, caring, and sweet as lollipops.

I hope that we can meet and be real "buddies for keeps," I hope that your inspiration never dies and that you may always find and achieve what you're looking for in life.

I love you lots!!
