Still Singing

Left and back again
A slowly burning pain
Desire that smolders away
Intensifying with the grey

Hearing of a stolen glance
Of a once-in-a-lifetime chance
Knowing it's just a fantasy
Daydreams that set you free

Despite the years gone by
These thoughts still wrench a sigh
Of what could never be
As fancy can't do reality

Capturing the moment... or the past?

I opened the door
Our eyes met
And shock registered

You were familiar
Yet a stranger in every way
We walked the tunnels

You did your job
Marking the light
Capturing her truth

Before leaving
We shook hands
The shock intensified

Who are you?
Have our souls met?
Were we friends?
In another life?

You felt it too
I know you did
Perhaps... we'll meet again.

Not a love song

I know your secret pretty boy
The one that haunts your dreams
That dark and lustful passion
Seeping slowly from your seams

Devotion has you calling
Has you down upon your knees
Praying for faith to save you
From doing as you please

A good facade can mask
All the thoughts you try to hide
But your words betray the truth
And the desire built up inside

I'm a Victim

I want you, can't you see
I'm not rid of you, I'm not yet free
I saw your face and knew inside
That those smoldering embers I still must hide
A desert voice of pain and rust
Flowing through the brittle dust
An ache made real despite the glare
A thoughtless whisper that I wouldn't dare
I'll see you soon in your electric glow
I'll be there swooning from the front row
A sweaty reminder of youth that's lost
But I still will fight despite the cost
For as your words fill my soul
I know for that night I'll be made whole
