For all I see is your shadow

There is no need to lie

No reason to look away

Or pretend to be shy

For all I see is your shadow

Of dreams unheard screams

As your ready to cry

For the deception is in your heart

That part of you that was there

From the start

There is no need to lie

For I know where your headed

And to death say goodbye

For it was yours from the

Beginning of the end

No need for deceit no need

Of pretence

For shadow is your only friend

As I bid you farewell no

Outstretched hand is there waiting

For you

For your lies have revealed all that

Is true and brought about your

Own end

For one is always flying

If I could love you do you think

That I would choose to be that

Other than which I am

If I could love you do you think

That what remained could be equated

To man in all his fallacy without that notion

That perception to be self reliant and

Capable in eyes and mind

If I could love you do you think

That you could love me for would

Not there be some notion conception

Of possibility that somehow things were

Not right for you cannot have a day without

A night and thus two lovers are never to be found

For one is always flying the other running ground

With misunderstanding manipulation and confounding

Questions of that which can be for is it not our lot

To never be happy in all that is physicality for can you

Not see the signs can you not feel the struggle of the

Universe as it calls out to the dying do go don’t go

Will you forever keep trying to reach me

Does not know its being restricted

Full moon tonight looking

Down upon me

Full moon tonight seeing

What it can see

Are there faces in that moon

Then tell me do tell me why

Those faces I never see

Full moon tonight lighting up

The skies

Giving all the stars that chance

To say goodbye to the dreams

Of yesterday lighting up the way

For everyone to say

Full moon tonight lets us go outside

And play in its glow while darkness

Does not know its being restricted

To the smallest of small shadow

Full moon tonight

The other feeling you see

Restraint sets me free

It stops me from responding to those

Things I do see and bring pain to my heart

Does stop my soul from my body do depart

And they find some commonality one seeing

The other feeling you see

Restraint sets me free

Keeps me out of that cage of mentality

Would you confine my very all it allows

Me to stand at those times I feel small enough

To disappear from this world to be swallowed up

Like a cry in the storm of ending that second that

Moment where there is no pretending that all will

Be alright

Restrains set me free

From me xx

 

What was whole

To have heart is not a deceptive thing

To have heart can only goodness bring

In the fading of the light

In the battle to distinguish

Wrong from right

To have heart is to feed the inclination

Of the mind

To seek that which is oft difficult to find

In the darkness of men’s souls

In that space that makes separate

What was whole

To have heart is to see the face of God

In all things dark and light

If only if only I’d know that would be the end

In my youth I would chop down tress

Make all kinds of thing in an attempt

To please that which was pleasing to

The eye to those things I made men

Would cry oh do make me one of these

In my youth I did not see all those things

That relied upon that tree

The birds the bees and bugs that did need

Somewhere to call their home

I did not see the wind as it did take the

Living giving breath that the tree did

Make and so I continued to be me chopping

Down every tree I did see

Now that youth has long left me I look about

And nothing do I see for all has died without

That tree that I did cut down unthinkingly

No birds to fly nor song do sing

No bees do buzz nor dive nor sting

Without that wisdom of the bee there is

No beauty in the flowers to see and thus

I may as well be blind for nothing is there

For me to find in this world that I did make

All that’s left is knowledge of that mistake

I made in my youth of cutting down those trees

If only if only I’d know that would be the end of

Me

Are meant to be

I know this place I have been here before

But not in this reality

It is but a distant dream of what was to come

A glimpse of what there was to see

I know this place I have been here before

How can it be that my memory has remembered

Something before it has happened to me

How can this be that there lays before me a

Path to be walked alone

Am I alone walking in the shadows of the day

I look at others and sometimes want to say

Hay don’t I know you is this not where we

Are meant to be

I know this place I have been here before

Carried upon the winds

Did you not see me as I walked as your shadow

Going to those places you had already been

I followed in each and every footstep feeling

Knowing that we were both kin

Did you not feel me as I covered you

At times I knew everything that you would do

For I was your skin and at times reached there

And waited for you thinking where had you been

Did you not feel me as I flowed through your veins

Pumping flowing making us one and the same

I took a breath and you exhaled

We were one like a boat and it’s sail

Never going nowhere without the other

And yet both moving this way that way

To discover all that the seas had to share

Did you not miss me when I left you

Did you not feel me leave with that last

Breath of air as life said its goodbyes

Did you not hear the sound of my cries

Carried upon the winds

And shared in those tears that your eyes

Did bring to your cheeks as they were kissed

For the very that last time as life passed us by

How can you not know me how can you

Not remember for even in death we are one

And the same xx

Am I alone walking in the shadows of the day

I know this place I have been here before

But not in this reality

It is but a distant dream of what was to come

A glimpse of what there was to see

I know this place I have been here before

How can it be that my memory has remembered

Something before it has happened to me

How can this be that there lays before me a

Path to be walked alone

Am I alone walking in the shadows of the day

I look at others and sometimes want to say

Hay don’t I know you is this not where we

Are meant to be

I know this place I have been here before

Is there anything you can say

Should you be that body without a soul

Is there that chance once again to ever be whole

Do you walk as if shadows in the day

Is there anything you can do

Is there anything you can say

Should you be that body without a soul

Are you acting this way or are you restricted to a role

That was placed there by destiny

Is there any other way that you could possibly be

Should you be that body without a soul

To the smallest of small shadow

Full moon tonight looking

Down upon me

Full moon tonight seeing

What it can see

Are there faces in that moon

Then tell me do tell me why

Those faces I never see

Full moon tonight lighting up

The skies

Giving all the stars that chance

To say goodbye to the dreams

Of yesterday lighting up the way

For everyone to say

Full moon tonight lets us go outside

And play in its glow while darkness

Does not know its being restricted

To the smallest of small shadow

Full moon tonight

To wake and not know your name

How can it be that in a dream

I know those things those places

We have been

And yet in the lightness of day

I know not your name as you

Walk my way and I am left

A wondering is my mind playing

Tricks is this some wrong doing

Of my hearts imagination

Oh the hurt the pain the mere

Frustration of having to walk

Alone

How can it be that in a dream

You hold my hand as silently

They scream our souls do depart

Flying high as if never apart

How cruel the reality of life

That in my dream I call you wife

To wake and not know your name

For you….

There is no need to lie

No reason to look away

Or pretend to be shy

For all I see is your shadow

Of dreams unheard screams

As your ready to cry

For the deception is in your heart

That part of you that was there

From the start

There is no need to lie

For I know where your headed

And to death say goodbye

For it was yours from the

Beginning of the end

No need for deceit no need

Of pretence

For shadow is your only friend

As I bid you farewell no

Outstretched hand is there waiting

For you

For your lies have revealed all that

Is true and brought about your

Own end

That very first kiss

You can pretend that

Our eyes did not meet

That there was not that

Storm a ragging sheet of

Rain and wind and sleeting

Gail’s that ushered away

Our love

 

You can pretend that

Our minds did not see

That inner glow that longing

To be something anything other

Than this that fearful moment

That very first kiss

 

You can pretend that

You don’t love me and hide

Away beneath the scares of distant

Memories longing to be that other

Longing to see the distance of a smile

Now find a way

Rooms without windows and doors

Are they still really rooms having just four walls

How do you get in

How do you get out

Rooms without what’s that really about

In these rooms you’ll find my all

In some there are big

In some there are small

But they all make up that total of me

Now find a way in and see what you see

In those rooms without windows or doors
