Scenes of Triumph

In a dream I had, I stared you down
I was sure it was real this time around
When I glimpsed your face
I went to you, running freely
I felt that it was meant to be
So easy the words flowed in between
And that talk, so plain,
Was all I could desire.
It’s the stillness, it’s the sure of things
In the morning on a summer street
It’s the petal from a rose
That had fallen on the table
I longed for you in silence then
What I wouldn’t give to spend
A life at your feet, by your side, in your arms
If you’d have me.
Often I do fantasize
Scenes of triumph in my life
I talk to myself and imagine my own greatness
Oh, tell me that you love me dear
These are the words I long to hear
That whisper from the lover to beloved
Oh, that whisper from the lover to beloved.

Where Have You Gone?

My darling dear, where have you gone?
So far beyond the reach of anyone
My darling dear, why do you break so hard?
I’ve gone, I’ve gone to my palace place
So far beyond the reach of anyone
I’ve gone where I can safely break so hard
Where have you gone my darling dear?
Can I follow you down that road?
Where will you be my darling dear
When it comes time to let go your load?
What’s the matter? Try to say it with your words -
And if not with your words
Then your eyes or your touch will do
I only want to sit with you
I’m wishing you would ask me to
So far beyond...

Mercy

Lonely is the shape I’m in
Single is the bed
Youth is ever infinite
The same old paths we tread
I’ve tumbled out of love with you
As oft I’ve tumbled in
It’s not quite that I was untrue
But might as well have been.
I never thought you’d be my muse
I ran from your embrace
Forgive me please my vain confusion
My mean heart’s disgrace
I wished for a crisis, I admit
I wanted to take off your clothes
But only a crisis would permit me
To leave me so exposed
And though I feel above it now
I have one more confession
Only but a week ago
I made a new transgression
Mercy, mercy, mercy
Come with me when I go.
