You Understand When You Listen

Why are we bound by distance of each-other?
We're already enough in visual recognition, we're lovers
Have we been given two fates that are linked
Is a marriage band something that could be on the brink?
We don't fight, so we never have to make up
And you never have to find another or put on your make up
Because we make up
What everyone else wakes up attempting to be
Woman I would give you the entire world just as a bonus
The Obama's can see our radiant love affair, and for advice to keep theirs alive, they phone us
We gave the sun its reason to shine
Our path so highly painted the Sistine Chapel depicted us on the ceiling for our union being divine
This entire event has already been scribed in time
You say you've lost your honest ways? Here, take mine
I'll live the lie
Ill burden a few cries
It makes sense of the punishments rained from the sky
If I cant keep you to honestly bless and beautify my world, then I've already died
If no one has told you, I'm way past love
I never have to say the word because I tell you the way the rock group Extreme does
If summer seasons could offer as much heat as you warm my soul with your words in seconds
Then every other temperature differential would chill my nature without your voice and blessing
Mother nature gave birth to you seeing as how you're a heat wave
I must have had a lapse in time and social status because in your grasp I've been a slave
I've only mentioned the word once but you know what I mean
Its written all over my face, not just on this computer screen
I can see the colors of your aura printed on my brain
Its the map of strategies and structures you've set up on my conscious and ego to keep me sane
Walking with such beauty on a day-to-day must be a heavy burden
Its the obvious group of whispers and rumors you have to constantly herd in
To not notice your beauty would be like Hellen Keller not noticing she breathed in the air
She doesn't have much to sense but she at least knows that that's there
Its a tremendous gap between your impact on me as opposed to what I see in others
What I say about you to other women has them asking me do I have brothers
It makes no sense to share the splendor we share under the covers
I'm putting my feelings on Front St. now, but that intimate aspect of us can simply be seen to the world secret lovers
Monuments were made with less of a historical significance
You embody all of my precious hope and my achievements deliverance
I'm a man without you, but with you I feel omnipotent
After tasting your sweet nectar, sampling any other id be nothing but impotent
I bring my thoughts together to strengthen what you don't touch, my last nerve
This feeling transcends all borders and boundaries of known relativity, its evident in every single letter of this verve

Holding On

~This was written in December 2006 but continues to be relevant, enjoy....~

My thoughts are flying spears to my ears

I try to dodge them in my mind but they’re all I hear

I need you in my heart but I baby I also need you here

I keep thinking about you, not wanting to

I’ve heard all I needed but not what I wanted too

You told me all I should know the first time, but this is time two

Needing you is not something I crave, something I’m stuck doing

My logic is the semi pushing against the brick wall of my heart and it’s not moving

You must think this is what I want in life, to keep pursuing

You’re pictures don’t fade that doesn’t make it better

You’re the fog that hasn’t lifted, the shadow in the desert

You’re the used car you can’t get rid of, although it’s been weathered

Baby, my lasting scar

The near that’s just so far

You always are just that glowing star

I don’t see you, but you’re there

I don’t feel you, but I don’t care

You broke my heart, I have a spare

The lie of my denial has so much truth in it

The places you took my spirits have only deep rooted it

I got all this to hold on to, now what to I do with it

It’s not about forgetting because that’s not what letting go does

This is an itch that needs to be scratched, but momma told me not to scratch just rub

There has to be so many better things than this within love

To my personality this is like an amusement park that had a bad weekend

You know what these aren’t tears streaming down that I’m leaking

This is love that I’m dripping out that someone else after you maybe seekin

Sweetheart I just cant let go

Is it true or just a burden I don’t know

Things went wrong so fast, is that why my recovery is so slow

With you I saw the night’s radiant day

So many songs in a different way

And all together a colorful coherence that remains in me to this day

You made me so high without substance

So drunk without the chuggin

And so full without the grubbin

Is that why im holdin on to this lovin

Being so high and hoverin

I never knew my subconscious could be so stubborn

Our love you had to take

My heart held too much and was forced to break

You had all the power to do that, but from this zombie state you can’t help me wake?

I need to figure out the lesser of two wrongs

Letting go or holding on

Wait I already know, because you’re in tune to someone else’s song

Get What You Want, One Way or Another

just found out that joanne is fulfilled and happy, and im very happy for her :)
