For Lovers Only

For Lovers Only

In a Corner...

The still light waits for us.
You step first,
Brave, trusting you find a place,
to lay.
Dust finds a home on your jumper,
it clings to you as I have, in the past.

Our fate and path now thick with ice.
Its love is wasted now, its struck the street,
you rolled the dice.
Glitter and wonder stains the highway line.
The colour of our life,
that one we never had.

Saying nothing is enough for me.

Pack it up, take it home, watch it's still beating when you're alone.
All it takes is one step forward,
and I can see for miles and miles and miles.

Dreams of overcoming...

There's a certain freedom in realising you don't know anything.
About the world.
About life.
Yours or anyone else's.

All that I am in hollow light,
pen on paper, dark and light.
Somewhere God's pulling me apart from me.
Finding out what was took from me.

Your hand soft, a map of you life.
All I see is the red blood of your heart,
your soul full of light.

I lay awake,
all the mistakes lift me off my feet.
Straight above the clouds are low,
their scent nondescript like snow.

All the years you took from me.
Lined up in that forest of trees.
God's whispers of nothing is enough for me.

Hollow,
weight,
if we're quite will we break?
Even after this long hike,
do you think he'll stick with us?

Yellowstone...

When I got there I realised where I was always supposed to be.
As though all the beauty tore me apart,
all the emotion spilled out of me, my heart and everything I am flowed into the river.
Apart of nature again, as I was when first born.
Why did we ever leave, and where did we go that could be better?

It's a better day today,
the tips of my toes are at the edge of the Earth ready to explore it all.
I'm not holding on to anything,
I can breathe unlabored,
I can run for miles,
My eyes are open,
I'm not going to miss a thing.
I can love unburdened.
My heart is full.

Stranger on the Subway...

There's a feeling in the air,
a scent of wonder.
Maybe you're right beside me,
maybe you never let me go.

As though nothing were real I love you without caution.
As though nothing could hurt me, or take you away.

The life before you seems tendered,
like I lived it all in black and white.
Then all of a sudden a splash of colour,
now everything is covered in light.

Each step is a leap,
each pace a bound.
I've climbed the tallest tree that exists,
and can see the world for miles and miles.

I want to run as fast as I can towards you,
and leave this place for our other life,
where you're a farm boy and I'm your princess,
and we live simply in love for the rest of our lives.
