Mystery

Love is what keeps me
Faith is no crutch, it leaps me
High on luck in the air
Because below there is a breaching
Where I don't want to fall, so please teach me.

Constructed ways of life we live in
Where your death is a tragic given
Let's find clarity today
Full speed ahead, we're swimmin'
I plan to spend my days in your heaven.

I hope one day you wake up beside this
My body, my soul, victorious of my prizes
And you look upon me to say
My addiction is you, miss
My drug of choice is your bliss.

This life may be all full of curses
Only if I stare into my mirror
And it tells me I'm worthless
Because at the end of this time is my person
A lover, a friend, found in these verses.

The Conflict of Two Senses

We are speaking

Your words are circling 

Passively admits my prominent thoughts

Filtering themselves into residual knowledge

Yet in doing so you are escaping me.

It would be mad to try and remember this

A moment where you're smiling deeply

Into my eyes in this way

When I am trying to hold on 

To your serenade of sweet lines.

Who is able to hold on to the purest moment?

Either you listen or you search

I am trying to balance both

Forgive me, I didn't hear you

Repeat again, I was trapped in your gaze.
