You should have let me stalk you in your sleep
Awoke if it was me and let me keep
A bit of soul for my system of belief
Instead of proving worthy as a thief

And on that same day in the church's trash
Found so much wine we did not trade for cash
A drunken night to gaze upon your back
Did we make love or one of us attack

Would that were a night we slept
A promise somewhere wasn't kept

While the first edge of the Moon arrived
She'd have been on her way
But the sky runs late by the riverside
And hindsight shows the way

November I awoke, no rain
The clouds were through with me
And on that hilltop looking down
I reckoned she'd agree

Years gone and she dreams of me
What shameful things I'd say
As rarely as she walks through mine
I can't get the time of day

The trick is finding your good name
Inside a pool of doubt and blame

It was exactly late at night
When first appeared the faint Moonlight
It steady rose up through the trees
To touch the water in the breeze
And as an hour slowly past
It's fullness showed itself at last

Outside the night is slowly sweeping past
My heart will take no rest before the dawn
All my faith is surely dying fast
I believe my love has traveled on

Frivol and waste subside the pace
A layer between your state of grace
And ego-ranting lips
The legend we'll choose for lack of clues
The truth is sailing ships

I found my art in the cold,dead sky
    Set my young life free
Reflected shadows draw my eye
    To the guilt that follows me

Heir entitled,face unknown
    Collecting shattered bone
I'll steal, I lie and own the blood
    On grandeur carved in stone

So long now since that passing sky
    Where true love I did part
And never will her memory
    With kindness grace my heart

Your lives are built on fleeting youth
    Your dreams confuse the way
Regret is misplaced ground you've stood
    Each truth lies in the grey

I'd witness graveyards contemplate
In fire and through altered state
    What length that I shall pass
But I'm the feeling you were watched
    Leaning in bent grass

This time of rain will ease someday
    A starry night will fall
To please my heart of revelry
    And wonderously enthrall

I will become the endless miles
    Pointed willfully
To deconstruct the traveled path
    And pledge my love to thee

No stalkers ever target me
None plagiarize my poetry
My heart string scars are good to me
But my lonesome mind will disagree

The cause lay by the railroad tracks
My alibi is laced with cracks
I am a legend mixed with facts
So righteous that my soul attacks

Was a day

Life long and some years ago
The killing winds begged me to go
Toxic love swayed to and fro
And nights we always dug in low

Fire and laughter woke my eyes
I clawed my way to airy skies
I've lied if that's the big surprise
I'm a wanted poster in disguise

I fell from grace late one night
Wrothe in pain from the Devil's bite
So any you dirtbags seeking light
You'll find yourself where we ain't right

It eased my mind and soothed my soul
Then ruled the darkness black as coal
The Summer wind in times as these
Blew steady South down through the trees
And,oh, my fondest loves steadfast
Fled one by one with eyes downcast
Move my footsteps,make it rain
And take me home benieth the train

Long ago I'd known the way
Ran the roads 'till she went away
But maybe while those days blew past
I lost my hold and paid at last
She seeks neither truth nor sane
And I couldn't live these lies again

So through her cries and broken heart
I felt great sadness tear apart
The wonderous woman, I instead
Searched for a cure,she wished me dead
I woke inside my lover's fire
Cried her name as never prior
Clawed my way to better air
Her cutting laughter ended there

I alone not looking back
Wandered briefly down the track

He hopes to realize that he's walked past her
When she tries to die he hopes he's faster
The love he owns stems from disaster
He'll search through death but he won't outlast her

I had a vision late last night
The light of day still shows
Of Fair Machell's delight in jumping
Fences for a rose
What then she looked into my eyes
And last the vision broke
It shattered and became the stars
That shone as I awoke

On the day I left trippin'
All my worries and the rhyme
Well they all rose to leave me
Here I'm scattered down the line

Now the day that I'm living
Must hide something I could sell
And I don't mind searching shadows
Because they know me very well

Hell yeah it's alright
Ride on my friend
And don't you leave me Mama
It's alright Hell yeah

Would I were to do this wrong
Where I would stop and travel on
I reckoned long some years before
Half drowned in dream at the river floor

A hundred miles from our rainy night
Thunder lightened the world's sight
I felt a whisper wrapt in tears
And I ain't been home 'till the weather clears

Myself could else remember then
To wake beside the water again
A lonesome end to our Autumn night
That was our love if we held it tight

I never found your arms again
It hangs my head to know you when
By chance I'll see you nears the end
When all you asked was a loyal friend

But,uh, we ain't really moving yet
As they say, you see
Not so much the distance,girl
Or that we'd disagree
The load, it's not so heavy as
The weighing on my mind
Just I can't take the proper time
To radically unwind

But you, I've heard, and I relate
You're treasure nearly mine
By all accounts of twisting fate
I'm supposed to say,"We're fine"
Wrap those hands from off my neck
Weave solice in your pain
We don't have many hours before
The Sun goes down again

We'll say goodbye, walk in shame
Take pity on our ***** name
It's a solitude between two crimes
And my heart longs for your touch each time

Let the Devil witness, he'll learn too
Screams and laughing cries
Shining eyes I've known a few
But they still don't realize
It's a distant moment here and now
Ain't your suicide
4 in the morning sunshine wake
In blood you are my bride

Spring's green sagging trees complete the frame
Horizon masks the underbrush below
I wander up the street each time the same
But who I'll have beside I would not know
The hill over the hills can reach the sky
And many a lazy cloud has taken rest
But if I ever found myself that high
I'd ponder just as far as I could West
Faded somewhere out that foggy way
A voice will sometimes call my name aloud
I do regret I won't hear what she'll say
But still the Spring goes on benieth the cloud
   The past and I alone will never mend
   The threads that reach from my home to no end
