Looking
"...Looking at you now
I can see purely
a man defined for my life
a lover for my midnights
Looking at me now
Do you see my hunger
a heart for your care
a passion for all that is you
a camaraderie of souls..."
Friend
(for Clint)
"...A daring contingency
portage of a border
liberating a boundary
a compass to take us
to places unrevealed
calenture and brotherhood
combined for parallel aspirations
a face unforeseen
hearts of common intent
drawing us together..."
I Am
"...Who am I to you?
Does the life in my veins
Scare the life from your truth?
Do I look like a stranger?
Someone forgettable?
A heart invisible?
Look into these eyes
I dare you to forget
The man you see I am
Who are you to me?
Could words from your mouth
Stop the beat of this heart?"
Footprints
"...Take me to the place
the quiet place
where I bared my soul
made an impossible choice
for your unfair advantage
Bring me back to the place
the day, the hour, the moment
my time to be counted
a euphoric chance
for this venturesome fate..."
To Forgive
"...Scars you put into me
try to own me
your brutality lives on.
Agony inside of me
over what you stole from him
flows from these eyes every day
of my life..."
