Dissolving into earth

im dissolving into pieces of earth

my voice was taken by the wind
and my heart beat stolen by the waves
the browns & greens of my eyes,
have soaked into the leaves of May…

my desires have become the echos
that you can almost hear between canyon walls…
and my footsteps have been stolen by the sands
and my wild spirit the wild mustang has donned…

Yes, the earth is taking back my colors…
leaving me nothing more than a black & white adult…
I mean, selling our passions and dreams for money
was never anyone’s intention, nor really anyone’s fault…

strong to a weakness

so gosh darn strong….
it’s become her weakness, so to speak
so damn stubborn….
she won’t open up to the help that she needs…

and whenever she senses danger,
she shuts down the parts that care…
oh so tough luck, or good good luck,
getting anywhere… anywhere past almost there…

because all love, any love
has a risk of a broken heart & pain…
and then she just shuts down,
cus that burden is a risk she can’t take…

and she carries on, she carries life so strong,
but at night she cries alone. always alone…
because she can’t get her self to come along,
and let her spirit and love go, forever alone…

but not this time, this time i’ll be weak…
i’m so done with being alone.

 

fishing in your eyes

holding my breath inside, i look into your brown eyes…
searching for your soul and what is written in your gaze
and i realize you are fishing within me too, to see what you find…
both of us are too proud to question or admit, what we’re asking with our eyes…

Oh did you just feel that spark when we kissed?
is this just me, or are you also falling in?
i want to know from you that you’ll commit…
promise me, I’m the only girl you’ll hold like this…

oh but, neither of us wants to be the first to dive
neither of us will speak with more than our eyes…
neither of us will be the first to put our hearts on the line…
oh but, I’m ready, if you’re ready to give us a real try…

 

don’t hide away

i want to lock my heart away….
hide it in a whispering gentle place…
cover my eyes from the world…
only let tender sunshine hit my face…

I really need a breath of fresh air…
the fragrance of blooming dreams…
oh i just want something powerful to come
and wash away all the pain still hurting…

oh hearts aren’t meant for crying
hearts are meant for loving and being loved…
and i wonder after enough breaking…
if i can ever really once again open up….

oh but you’ve gotta trust again,
even if it scares you to death!
‘cuz when you get to the end…
love is all that will be left…

and don’t cha want something?
don’t cha want someone there?
don’t cha want anyone to love you?
don’t you want anyone to care?

so don’t lock your heart away
don’t hide it in a secret cave…
here’s the quiet surrender i give…
i’m gonna try… try to love again

 

storms between my heart and my head

oh gosh,
so torn…
i feel the rumble
of an oncoming storm…

oh me, oh…
ohhh myy,
i’m not sure i’m ready to
give love another try…

it’s kind of exciting…
but i’ve been here before…
i’m half way into saying ‘i do’
and halfway done walking out the door…

oh, here it is… the chance to open up
oh, broken hearts… the chances that stack up…
i’m a risk taker if your talking sticks or stones…
but i’m right on the brink of sanity and letting my heart float…

thunder, lightning, hot rain, cold night…
tornado, blizzard, fire, it’s holding me with fright
a power like no other leaves me restless in this bed…
it’s the crazy war inside me between my heart & my head…

 

make you my man…

I just want to kidnap your heart,
steal you away and isolate you,
make you fall in love with me forever,
the way i feel like I really could with you…

every piece of this puzzle fits together
from katherine hepburn to george strait,
but if you’re going to break my heart….
well, i’d rather just skip love if it’s a waste…

oh i’ve not been like this since high school
so sure i want to make you mine…
what’s wrong with me? why is this happening?
why can’t i get your brown eyes out of my mind?

i mean i don’t like brown eyed boys
and i don’t like long distance & roads
i don’t ever make myself so dang transparent
or wait for the guy to say it’s time to go…

but honey, i’ll be a romantic for you…
i’ll be your second nascar fan….
but i swear if you break my heart…
but right now, i just gotta make you my man.

 

if you can

if you can do it,
if you can go where no man has before…
more power to you…
good luck finding your way into my secret door…

into my inmost heart,
right now you’ve been nothing but a dream….
but nobody knows
how much I need you to become my reality…

 

misty mountain my love… i shall be waiting

And my love… where have you been?
oh my magical mystery future man
oh my whole life, i’ve been settlin’…
but girls aren’t the only ones who want romance….

So won’t you come to the misty mountain
won’t you seek my song in the wind?
Oh can’t you hear my heart beat pounding
as you behold the endless waves of the ocean?…

And I’ve… i’ve been waiting for your true love…
a strong cowboy, who makes me smile when i am weak…
who’s faith keeps my trust alive in the world,
and who’s arms I can rest in to find the depth of peace…

oh my love, my love, my love…
where have you been?
only echos echoing have i heard
from the misty mountain…

and my heart my soul, my faith…
is dwindling like a dying star in the sky…
oh but i don’t want to become a black hole…
so find me, love me, make this right….

oh my hope my hope my hope… i still believe,
you are out there searching waiting, wondering…
i will fill your world with sun and an eternal summer breeze…
oh come to the misty mountain… love, come find me….

 

She was just a waterfall

She was just a waterfall….
So beautiful and enrapturing
Powerful and thunderous,
Yet, gentle and fascinating…

She reflected the beauty of the sunlight
Like a rainbow in the misty haze…
Oh she was like a waterfall…
Let a few tears fall every day….

And her sister tried to love her with her whole heart
But her sister had no idea it would be so hard
to convince her that it’s okay not to be a normal river…
and that waterfalls and calm waters both have equal parts…

and the father loved that waterfall like the sunshine
and when he was around, that’s when she sparkled most…
but nobody knew the pain of the rocks beaten beneath the rapids…
and it wasn’t long before that waterfall let her life fall into a ghost…

and so now, I, that sister sit in her room tonight…
haunted by snow-globes and treasure boxes she once cherished on a shelf…
I wonder if she’ll ever wake up from the trance & rubble of the storm?…
Without love, there’s no point in distractions; she was my cherished wealth….

 

quest to knock on your door…

I mean, how wrong could i really be?
whether a closed iron door, or opening to destiny…
i just don’t see any good reason not to knock…
And at this point there is nothing that can make me stop…

Opportunities lost, are tearful indeed…
but don’t mourn one until it’s death is seen…
And when it is merely lost in action, as you to me…
then set on a quest to find, once lost, opportunity

i’m really nervous of failing, but i have to know what it is…
are our chances lost? or could you love me again?
