come take my hand . .
let me slay
your dragons.
let me lay down
my jacket in the mud . .
and take your hand . .

in this very real world . .
let me place you
on a throne . .
and adore you . .
let me hold you up . .

let me take your heart
let me cradle it
and show you . .
so you can see . .
your loving beauty . .

let me hand you mine . .
so you can etch your name . .
leaving me
never
to be the same . .

and for those . .
who would say . .
this world of ours could not be real . .
we will leave them theirs . .
we will leave them be . .

I will hold you
a little closer in my arms
a little closer to me . .

#2

I stepped outside . . .
and felt the breeze
slip all around me . .
sweeping in the new . .

wrapped I was . .
comfortably held . .
my eyes opened
my heart followed . .
carried
on the gentle waves
of an eternal
spring day . .

#3

better to be called friend . .
better to be liked . .
better to giggle
and carry on . .
and bask in the warmth
of the smile
and the joking around . .
and the laugh
you give
to your friend . .
better to be called ..
better to be . .
a friend . .

#4

driven to desperation
by a call across the wires
rendered helpless
looking
to solve
that which is unsolvable . .
looking to understand
the incomprehensible
and trying
so desperately
to understand
exactly why
i feel
the way I do . .

how would you
how do you . .
how is it possible
to be completely possessed . .

tell me
distant fantasy . .
stalker of my soul . .
tell me . .
just how did i get
to be this way . .
