Love within the autumn colors
hues of reds and yellows and brown
and that your lips kissed me
so delicate as a spring butterfly

Within my chest a swirl and ache
begging to never leave this moment
frozen within my heart and mind
this memory within ancient amber tomb

The past of youth has visited again
as when my passion for love was new
Now forgetting past hurt and tears
No weariness or fault or hidden fear

To live and love one must always forgive
And trails of tears do bespeak
a heart that feels almost too much love
So I pray for strength and courage to live

— // —

Do you know what you get
when you burn the heart
of the one that loves you?

Do you regret
the things you said
when you tore my soul apart?

You know my name
your world – never the same

Greater evils
have paid a higher price
but yours will be of dreams

Cold red blood runs within my veins
you will never be the same
Fallen angels burning wings
your world on fire forevermore

You know my name – sleep and dream
your world – never agani the same
::::

So color the world
in lavender or blue
paint the petals
golden in hue

lashing your brush
to and fro – and below
I’m washed in reds
soaking heart and head

I am your love’s canvas
stretched but smooth
empty and void of hate
color your love — my hue
::::
