...with you...

I want to soak in something beautiful

With you. 

Sink my toes down deep in the mud 

With you. 

Dream the wildest to last all night

With you. 

Move mountains in faith in Good

With you. 

I want to drink in life and hope.

With you. 

With you beside me.

Let's conquer this life

With you beside me

Let's go for a ride

With you beside me

For all of my life

With you. 

...i miss that place...

My feet miss that place

Where it was steady beneath me. 

My hands miss your face 

Where Hope rested in your eyes. 

Me. I miss you. 

...30 pieces of silver...

...betrayer....
...did it taste good, the kiss you traded?....
...for my heart....
...did it cost more than 30 pieces of silver...
...was it what you wanted, were you just bored?...
...you said you loved me and left me in a field of blood....
...accused me of all you'd done...
...raged until you couldn't see straight...
...and then the truth washed over me....
...a kiss and 30 pieces of silver....
...Judas, it wasn't me -- it was you...
...you are my betrayer....

...i want to steal you....

i want to steal you
right out of the mundane
take you to paris, greece,
germany and spain.

i want to steal you
take some extraordinary
adventure in thailand,
exotic...like new dehli.

i want to steal you
- watch you grow
in far off places
like maybe monaco.

i want to steal you
away, let you shine
walk by the thames,
the danube and rhine.

i want to steal you
find a place for you and me
to explore and create
-- a place where we can dream.

...missing you...

...i miss you...
...your kindness soothes the harshness that ravages...
...your gentleness eases the brutality of the world...
...when no one else is sweet, you stand and whisper aching beauty...
...the further you move away from me, the closer you are to my heart...
...in darkness, i remember your light...
...your laughter like peeling bells of hope...
...moving something deeper in me than I knew how to find...
...shaking the earth beneath my feet with a look, a touch...a word....
...memories of you are more than wisps, they are statues of unshakable stone...
...what no one understood, we have love...
...what no one can really see, we are free...
...what i wish you'd bring back...
...and i miss you...

...like she'd swallowed broken glass...

...sometimes she missed him so much it felt like she'd swallowed broken glass....

...open heart, open eyes....

...my heart is open, looking around not down or in. endings, beginnings are all wrapped up into one....my eyes and heart are wide open...
