instances towards advancement

i'm fighting for the chance
to dash away
and find out about us

i'm pushing
to create afresh
and decipher the past

i'm spinning quicker
to lose myself
and see ahead into forever

i'm listening
to understand why
and how we smile

i'm laughing
to ignore the pain
and dance the night away

i'm singing
to hear my sound
and embrace our future

i'm collapsing
to feel your arms about me
and chance our lips to meet

too much too soon

a rest
a break
a chance to catch my breath

to step back
can you see what i know
this won't last forever

i like you
you love me
what an unbalanced harmony

my heart will always belong
to someone with better
hands than you

so stretched
so empty inside
today may be the day i finally cry

just to rid myself the emotions inside
i can fly. i can fly.

give me time
god i need more time
this circus of life will never end

to be simple again
what is wrong with me?
i can't make up my mind

twisted inside
to unknot this mess
i need a chance
to stop and smell the roses

like summer
and warm nights
i need a chance
to stick my head out the window

and yell to the night once again

one at a time
we'll make it i hope
to sleep would be bliss

to dance

spinning across the ballrooms of our minds
a sly glance
a slick bow
the dances continues
the strings leading on

the confusion of the light and bright
shooting shadows on the wall
a curtsy and a laugh echo
throughout the expanse
we dance

our hands clasped
spiraling around and around
this night in our minds
should never end

soon

we move so slow
but soon
we will meet in the middle
at last

soon
we can tell
if we can handle this

if the world will stop spinning
and if gravity won't hold true
soon we'll know

how long has this taken us?
since that trip
long ago
you heard of it

from when he came back
and the surrealness of it all
and the airfreshener
such strong memories

soon
i'll find what i wanted so many nights ago
another road
another time

it's soon
it's time.

Nightsongs

Excitement echoes into the night,
like banshees we call to the heavens.

With those you love,
clear nights are the best.
The clouds will be jealous tonight.

Specks of bright,
scattered across our darkness.

Tonight, pick just one.
One is more than enough.
Then you can let go,
and fly.

Stumbling down,
spurts of laughter pierce the silence,
over the mock questioning you give us.

Dizzying heights
Emotions so tight, so true.
If only for an instant,
I know you're spinning too.

Racing across the expanse,
cold dew from the grass burns my soles.
I could do this forever,
until I find you.
We are one of a kind.
