I'm frozen as Winter<br>
And if the shot rings I know my dreams will shatter<br>
Like icicles breaking, out to the beyond<br>
All will be gone ... if you turn me away<br>
Close to you is where I must stay</p>
<p dir="ltr">Around the corner<br>
Down the street<br>
Outside your house<br>
And at your feet<br>
I'll always be near</p>
<p dir="ltr">Within the silence<br>
Under your bed<br>
Above the noise<br>
Inside your head<br>
I'll always be here</p>
<p dir="ltr">Life doesn't make sense but why can't we?<br>
My blood runs cold and I need your light<br>
My world is night<br>
A dark existence<br>
Nothing eases this pain but to see your face<br>
(when you smile)<br>
I'm beguiled<br>
And don't want this feeling to leave</p>
<p dir="ltr">Am I wrong, to say you're mine?<br>
(in my mind, you are mine)<br>
Maybe your answer is something I shouldn't know<br>
Then our bond will never let go<br>
Behind this wall of ice<br>
I see the warmth of your eyes<br>
Like a bottle of sun<br>
And I won't share you with anyone</p>
<p dir="ltr">Around the corner<br>
Down the street<br>
Outside your house<br>
And at your feet<br>
I'll always be near</p>
<p dir="ltr">Within the silence<br>
Under your bed<br>
Above the noise<br>
Inside your head<br>
I'll always be here</p>

Long ago, once as mine, crystalline <br>
But life took it away (gone away) </p>
<p dir="ltr">So many footsteps <br>
So many teardrops <br>
Oh, the confusion <br>
Asking when it stops </p>
<p dir="ltr">Just a soft, slow place <br>
Home that resonates <br>
Time heals but time kills <br>
Our story creates </p>
<p dir="ltr">Star child, something in your eyes that shine <br>
Long ago, once as mine, crystalline <br>
But life took it away (gone away) </p>
<p dir="ltr">Wanting some beauty <br>
Tethered with anchor <br>
And 'neath all that weight <br>
Also tows anger </p>
<p dir="ltr">Like wearing thistles <br>
It's a bloody mess <br>
Dragging destruction <br>
Clouded to digress </p>
<p dir="ltr">Star child, something in your eyes that shine <br>
Long ago, once as mine, crystalline <br>
But life took it away (gone away) </p>
<p dir="ltr">It's a depressing world, someone once said <br>
I think it was me <br>
When the day fell to a night that was dead <br>
A million sorrows played Hell with my head </p>
<p dir="ltr">Star child, something in your eyes that shine <br>
Long ago, once as mine, crystalline <br>
But life took it away (gone away) </p>
<p dir="ltr">We don't always have a choice <br>
We don't always have a voice <br>
But our space makes a difference anyway </p>

I'm his new, uncommitted thought <br>
-- a pacify for his abandonment <br>
Where another woman left him to rot </p>
<p dir="ltr">He's a whiskey shot from meltdown <br>
He's the implosion in my brain <br>
He says things I've heard before, kiss of death <br>
Sure wreck, volatile, once aboard that train </p>
<p dir="ltr">I'm a convenience, stepping stone <br>
Who gets him farther from his past <br>
And misery loves company <br>
But that perspective won't drain me <br>
Whose magnetism won't pull me <br>
With paradox which won't slay me <br>
(won't be me) </p>
<p dir="ltr">I can see the postwar love <br>
Full-on, vacant deduction <br>
Accurate with hardcore crush <br>
I can see the destruction </p>
<p dir="ltr">I'm his unfinished transition <br>
I'm his similar reflection <br>
-- dark places, swimming among unslept eyes <br>
Stories of betrayal and rejection </p>
<p dir="ltr">He's a whiskey shot from meltdown <br>
He's the implosion in my brain <br>
He says things I've heard before, kiss of death <br>
Sure wreck, volatile, once aboard that train </p>
<p dir="ltr">I can see the postwar love <br>
Full-on, vacant deduction <br>
Accurate with hardcore crush  <br>
I can see the destruction </p>

Hanging high and bright <br>
Owls heard, wings rustle <br>
Presence, out of sight <br>
Heaviness drapes tale<br>
Like a veil that's cut from a black lace night </p>
<p dir="ltr">Oh, his eyes have wandered  <br>
Oh, soft lies have pondered <br>
-- a liaison, which would split us apart  </p>
<p dir="ltr">And I'll hear it in his voice <br>
And I'll smell it on his flesh <br>
And I'll feel it with his hand <br>
-- pulse and tempo as to thresh </p>
<p dir="ltr">Myrrh and cypress burn <br>
And the room grows dense <br>
Music plays, oppressed <br>
As the mood flows tense <br>
All we seek to do <br>
Cues, not without the coil of consequence </p>
<p dir="ltr">Oh, his lust has taken <br>
Oh, love has forsaken <br>
-- a liaison, which would split us apart  </p>
<p dir="ltr">And I'll hear it in his voice <br>
And I'll smell it on his flesh <br>
And I'll feel it with his hand <br>
-- pulse and tempo as to thresh </p>
<p dir="ltr">Oh, time stays unspoken <br>
Oh, gaze not yet broken <br>
But it weighs as it splays  <br>
-- a liaison, which will split us apart  </p>

One sided light to catch <br>
One way compromise by its rule <br>
But I refuse to chase </p>
<p dir="ltr">When you've known love to only palace scars <br>
You need someone the same <br>
To open and release the stars <br>
Dark romance, tears, embrace  </p>
<p dir="ltr">Tortured souls with tormented charms <br>
Be welcomed place mid sheltered arms <br>
And within our darkness, we have come home </p>
<p dir="ltr">Autumn eyes, whose changing colors collide<br>
Are seasoned with struggle <br>
Stormy depths to get lost inside <br>
Familiar with refrain </p>
<p dir="ltr">Deep kisses, hungry with a hint to bleed <br>
Are less about the want <br>
And so much more about the need <br>
Unabridged, starved by pain </p>
<p dir="ltr">Tortured souls with tormented charms <br>
Be welcomed place mid sheltered arms <br>
And within our darkness, love has come home </p>
<p dir="ltr">Always outside, while others held the Spring<br>
Always outside, while Summer singe would sting <br>
But now, doors invite us for everything </p>
<p dir="ltr">Tortured souls with tormented charms <br>
Be welcomed place mid sheltered arms <br>
And within our darkness, love has come home </p>

It was a pleasure to speak with him, via email and messaging, and I truly appreciate the time he took to share my poems/lyrics and talk with me.<br>
Dave works very hard to spotlight musicians and writers on his web page (Zine) and promote their work. <br>
Thank you, Dave ...</p>

Desires that hunger, that feed <br>
Broad strokes, as we, undefined <br>
Still doesn't cease want and need </p>
<p dir="ltr">Scarlet sunsets dim, gray drips <br>
Noir sceneries flood my eyes <br>
And too soon our fingertips <br>
Slip their last, vast into whys </p>
<p dir="ltr">Your cold words tattooed 'cross my heart <br>
Indelible and deep but not as deep <br>
As the words that were never said <br>
There's no going back, there's no where to run <br>
When life unfolds love and madness <br>
I can't escape, these tormented thoughts shred <br>
What kept me alive, now inscribed <br>
(the hurt is done) </p>
<p dir="ltr">Profound disillusion preys <br>
I haven't the will to face <br>
It's crumbling, tumbling and weighs <br>
Oh, its downcast won't erase </p>
<p dir="ltr">I want to scream, make you feel <br>
Rally up rage, wake your view <br>
To have you know just how real <br>
This love bestowed unto you </p>
<p dir="ltr">(But now, what good would it do?)</p>
<p dir="ltr">Your cold words tattooed 'cross my heart <br>
Indelible and deep but not as deep <br>
As the words that were never said <br>
There's no going back, there's no where to run <br>
When life unfolds love and madness <br>
I can't escape, these tormented thoughts shred <br>
What kept me alive, now inscribed <br>
(the hurt is done) </p>
<p dir="ltr">It's all too late <br>
Our time has passed <br>
My world has crashed <br>
(into the dark) </p>

Gone to open fields, endless lakes <br>
And though the Heavens weep <br>
Courage forms on the horizon </p>
<p dir="ltr">My friend, I saw your face in the clouds <br>
You closed your eyes and welcomed the breeze <br>
Mane blowing 'cross a majestic sky <br>
I wept with the rain, fell to my knees </p>
<p dir="ltr">Envious shadows crept  <br>
Their hands laid out with blood and chains <br>
Shamed men without honour <br>
But none can take your memory </p>
<p dir="ltr">Now, the storms have meaning <br>
Your freedom roars with the thunder <br>
Your beauty is inside <br>
And your pride surrounds with glory </p>
<p dir="ltr">My friend, I saw your face in the clouds <br>
You closed your eyes and welcomed the breeze <br>
Mane blowing 'cross a majestic sky <br>
I wept with the rain, fell to my knees </p>
<p dir="ltr">Lionheart, hands won't ever harm or reach <br>
Love is with you, walk beside the angels <br>
Go home, go home, go home and be at peace </p>

This and we've hardly challenged the odds to win <br>
Maybe, the middle is where we made a start <br>
Seems passion passed and we never settled in </p>
<p dir="ltr">You know so little, I try but answers bend <br>
Around the corner, then they're gone and I chase <br>
Lost, the hazy night is cold without your tend <br>
No hand to guide, to assure reach and embrace </p>
<p dir="ltr">Shadows fall, hide and seek play beneath faint moon <br>
My eyes are tired, as with every, heavy step <br>
This laden path coils vague but its clear be soon<br>
As exit's shown, its loss leads, none to forget </p>
<p dir="ltr">All I know is this tremendous love I hold <br>
Wanted to give itself, entirely to you <br>
But you wouldn't take, didn't want, didn't need <br>
There's a hole in my heart, where chance could have filled <br>
But whose course would only have this love to bleed </p>

Winter, make bow before your turn <br>
These Autumnal eyes weave <br>
That fire held deep but now shall burn </p>
<p dir="ltr">Time will haunt, sable gowns reclaim  <br>
Blood red horizons will kiss the skies <br>
Trees will weep tears, as drops of flame <br>
Witches will dance and rapt throne shall rise </p>
<p dir="ltr">Bard and Muse rendering <br>
The lakes will chill and as the breeze <br>
Your body whelms, trembling <br>
Aria speaks - now, to your knees </p>
<p dir="ltr">Haunt will harvest shadows waking <br>
Apples will rot but hot spice will thrive <br>
Dark pleasures are for the taking <br>
Vampires will hunt, reign shall come alive </p>
<p dir="ltr">Sunny days fled, not to look back <br>
Those unfaithful roses thorned some fools <br>
Gilded irony, edge of black <br>
Whose loyal scepter shall blaze and rules </p>

And it happens every day <br>
That which grace loses glory <br>
And how the sun can betray </p>
<p dir="ltr">People ride promises in like a storm <br>
Wreck havoc and blow out on a breeze <br>
Never knowing, never giving a damn <br>
About all the damage that they leave </p>
<p dir="ltr">They see a calm and want its destruction <br>
They see some struggle and want it worse <br>
Everyone else is pushed to rock bottom <br>
They only worry 'bout being first </p>
<p dir="ltr">It's a sad, sad story<br>
And it happens every day<br>
That which grace loses glory<br>
And how the sun can betray</p>
<p dir="ltr">- Some - gorgeous, drop dead girls, snag a taker <br>
Their guys later complain, there's no care <br>
Femme, bat lash eyes rove out a wandering <br>
Searching out, new lover to ensnare </p>
<p dir="ltr">- Some - bad boys will charm but are unstable <br>
Bad is the word a girl might forget <br>
His hand can turn from tender to heavy <br>
Her wishes trade for bruise and regret </p>
<p dir="ltr">Such bright shining things draw a hopeful heart <br>
Be sure in what it is and what it seems <br>
Love is a fragile gift that when broken <br>
Can be lost and its Soul never redeems </p>
<p dir="ltr">It's a sad, sad story<br>
And it happens every day<br>
That which grace loses glory<br>
And how the sun can betray</p>

I denied what you said <br>
It took awhile to ring <br>
Over and over <br>
Again and again <br>
Telling me everything </p>
<p dir="ltr">In the moment, was numb <br>
Clambering for love's need <br>
Though it would never come <br>
It became surreal <br>
Inevitable <br>
Singe would have me succumb </p>
<p dir="ltr">And there's a slow burn in my heart <br>
I can feel you depart (from me) <br>
How much more time is left? <br>
How long will it be? <br>
You're dragging it out <br>
If you're bound to leave <br>
End this misery (set us free) <br>
Dying love is slow burn </p>
<p dir="ltr">Once, as close as we were <br>
Thought it was forever <br>
Tomorrow, nothing's sure <br>
The hourglass breaks <br>
Sand blows to the wind <br>
Fragments, when love was pure </p>
<p dir="ltr">Oh, your words land a sting <br>
I denied what you said <br>
It took awhile to ring <br>
Over and over <br>
Again and again <br>
Telling me everything </p>
<p dir="ltr">And there's a slow burn in my heart <br>
I can feel you depart (from me) <br>
How much more time is left? <br>
How long will it be? <br>

If you're bound to leave  <br>
End this misery (set us free) <br>
Dying love is slow burn </p>

Tell me, again, about ... years from now <br>
Let me believe just for a while <br>
And then,... I'll get over it somehow </p>
<p dir="ltr">You're hurting me, confusing me <br>
Calling me, 'Angel', talking of love <br>
While saying you're not over her <br>
And that makes me feel, I'm not enough <br>
(a nothing, offering) </p>
<p dir="ltr">Black tears, black wings, black eyes, black Soul <br>
You control ... how deep the cut goes <br>
With every touch, (unsung), like a razor <br>
And stinging edges of an unhad kiss <br>
I give of myself, support and strength <br>
My love bleeds, I want to be your needs <br>
But I know you wish it was her <br>
(I know you wish it was her) <br>
(I know you wish it was her) </p>
<p dir="ltr">You've obtained the all consuming <br>
You've had bright, wild hearts and settled throne <br>
I've never been the precious Queen <br>
Those things, those things, I have never known <br>
(more nothing, gutwrenching) </p>
<p dir="ltr">My past only knew a few hims <br>
When darkness claimed with everything numb <br>
Oh, I've waited to hear your words <br>
And I never really thought they'd come </p>
<p dir="ltr">My love bleeds, I want to be your needs <br>
But I know you wish it was her <br>
(I know you wish it was her) <br>
(I know you wish it was her) </p>
<p dir="ltr">If you held me, I'd cry <br>
And you'd ask me why <br>
I'd say, 'a lifetime' <br>
(you may be my last try) </p>
<p dir="ltr">Your Angel, black tears, black wings <br>
But I know you wish it was her <br>
(I know you wish it was her) <br>
(I know you wish it was her) </p>

But love too hard <br>
Intense with care <br>
And that can leave a scar <br>
When someone disappears </p>
<p dir="ltr">Want to believe <br>
Hold back, instead <br>
Front with a smile <br>
With chaos in my head <br>
Damage, ruins from the years </p>
<p dir="ltr">If love would fight for me <br>
I would never let go <br>
This much I know </p>
<p dir="ltr">Can't still the pain <br>
Can't kill the past <br>
I get depressed <br>
Can true bond really last? <br>
To me, it's a riddle  </p>
<p dir="ltr">Hope has its guard <br>
Reach has resist <br>
I try to try <br>
But dark places exist <br>
I battle the middle </p>
<p dir="ltr">If love would fight for me <br>
I would never let go <br>
This much I know </p>

Potent as a brew of devil's cherries<br>
Her perfume smells likes dark Magic<br>
But she's a White Witch<br>
Airy, ethereal <br>
She's a thousand sunsets<br>
There's nightshade in her eyes<br>
Fire on her flesh<br>
Spells on her lips<br>
And those candy hot thistles from her tongue<br>
Send érotique surge through your every vein</p>
<p dir="ltr">And you'll never be the same<br>
And you'll never be the same<br>
(unfading love)</p>
<p dir="ltr">Pink mist, black velvet words<br>
- "I've missed you,..<br>
Hold me, don't let go"<br>
Wrap up inside every syllable<br>
She's hypnotic<br>
Lyrical champagne<br>
Her gaze is ... the stars ... and 13 moons<br>
Her fingertips are open roses<br>
Wandering, conjuring<br>
As Amaranth candles burn <br>
That blush smoke etches your name</p>
<p dir="ltr">And you'll never be the same<br>
And you'll never be the same<br>
(unfading love)</p>

Sun shines down but can never stay <br>
Leaves fall crisp as the ground turns cold <br>
Burgundies sail, magentas sweep <br>
Birds nestle sleep in beds made of gold </p>
<p dir="ltr">Less and less, he might ask about me <br>
But I tell him what he wants to hear <br>
It shows, we're going through the motions <br>
Emotions sear <br>
Time knows his care hasn't been sincere </p>
<p dir="ltr">Seasons move, seasons lose<br>
Sometimes seem lost<br>
As some lovers do<br>
Autumn arias trace<br>
Maybe there's place<br>
To be found<br>
Mid the fall<br>
With a love who can give all<br>
(as I have, as I would)</p>
<p dir="ltr">Sunburst and bright beauty won't last <br>
That first chill in the air sends cast <br>
There's certain bittersweet appeal <br>
When sunlit reverie goes dark <br>
I'd rather part and find something real </p>
<p dir="ltr">More and more, he's not here, by my side <br>
And I accept it's not meant to be <br>
Promises broke and wishes depart <br>
His heart left me <br>
Sure as Summer fades, comes threnody </p>
<p dir="ltr">Seasons move, seasons lose<br>
Sometimes seem lost<br>
As some lovers do<br>
Autumn arias trace<br>
Maybe there's place<br>
To be found<br>
Mid the fall<br>
With a love who can give all<br>
(as I have, as I would)</p>

But desire knows no mercy <br>
Loyalty knows no end <br>
Like a woman who fiercely loves <br>
And is truly loved in return <br>
You're turning her away <br>
And that's a pitiful shame </p>
<p dir="ltr">Some past woman did you some wrongs <br>
She's gone but you won't let her go <br>
I've tried to be understanding <br>
You're not giving me a place to grow </p>
<p dir="ltr">If you're not talking about her <br>
You pine, she's your uncertain mood <br>
Fear in your eyes, pause of your voice <br>
Where I know thoughts of me score exclude </p>
<p dir="ltr">I want to give love and you a chance <br>
But you're still hung up on what's over <br>
A past lover, who doesn't love you <br>
We're all passing ships, misdirected, <br>
Mixed signals and it's all for nothing <br>
We always end up back here, my Dear, <br>
No one's in love, no one's being loved <br>
(And that's a pitiful shame) </p>
<p dir="ltr">You say you have feelings for me <br>
You sure the Hell don't show it much <br>
Gone when I need, need but refuse <br>
Fade into your own world and lose touch </p>
<p dir="ltr">It's not as though I'm unshattered <br>
You should be strength for me but - no <br>
For too long, I've been strong for two <br>
And I'm through propping up your ego </p>
<p dir="ltr">Time dies, I won't wait to be loved <br>
I'm not a filler for your ex, <br>
Not a showmance, while your wounds purge, <br>
Not a way station for what comes next </p>
<p dir="ltr">I want to give love and you a chance <br>
But you're still hung up on what's over <br>
A past lover, who doesn't love you <br>
We're all passing ships, misdirected, <br>
Mixed signals and it's all for nothing <br>
We always end up back here, my Dear, <br>
No one's in love, no one's being loved <br>
(And that's a pitiful shame) </p>
<p dir="ltr">When I'm gone, will you cry out my name, <br>
Beat your chest and curse your ragged heart, <br>
Languish as you've done for your old flame, <br>
Who crept your nerve and kept us apart? </p>
<p dir="ltr">Somehow, I bet it won't be the same <br>
You didn't invest yourself in me <br>
(And Baby, that's a pitiful shame) <br>
When I'm gone, will you cry out my name? </p>
<p dir="ltr">Hell hath no fury <br>
But desire knows no mercy <br>
Loyalty knows no end <br>
Like a woman who fiercely loves <br>
And is truly loved in return <br>
You're turning her away <br>
And that's a pitiful shame </p>

And as a ribbon, <br>
I would have unfurled ... so deep inside </p>
<p dir="ltr">I wanted to know all the shades of you <br>
-- Submerged, happily,... <br>
Taken by the overwhelming tide </p>
<p dir="ltr">You would only avow me to the edge <br>
I could only beg, helpless, on the ledge <br>
Knowing what we should be but kept at bay <br>
You've made it clear, reflecting my worst fear <br>
Quelled by love's Heartbreaker, into the gray </p>
<p dir="ltr">I've watched what colors others share, bursting <br>
-- The adoring red, <br>
Sepia care, trusting glints of gold </p>
<p dir="ltr">Their arms entangled, exchanging glances,<br>
Private, warm dances, <br>
Meant for them but not for me to hold </p>
<p dir="ltr">You would only avow me to the edge <br>
I could only beg, helpless, on the ledge <br>
Knowing what we should be but kept at bay <br>
You've made it clear, reflecting my worst fear <br>
Quelled by love's Heartbreaker, into the gray </p>
<p dir="ltr">You, my Heartbreaker,... <br>
Loveless wins, there's no prismatic array <br>
-- Lost ... into the gray </p>
<p dir="ltr">~ Sobriquet; (nickname)<br>
Heartbreaker</p>

Winding lanes catch blood from moonbeams <br>
Incandescent cauldron <br>
- that vermilion moon, wakens screams </p>
<p dir="ltr">Footsteps move stealth phantom <br>
But voice makes behest, stalking near <br>
As the windows rattle, <br>
Chiming, breaking, I feel eyes leer </p>
<p dir="ltr">This home holds many shadows <br>
These walls keep many secrets <br>
All doors and rooms are endless <br>
The belonging now begins </p>
<p dir="ltr">Cold hands touch, my flesh chills <br>
Away doubt, imprint doesn't lie <br>
Steal my breath, seal with kiss <br>
Darkness enfolds with hue and cry </p>
<p dir="ltr">This home holds many shadows <br>
These walls keep many secrets <br>
All doors and rooms are endless <br>
The belonging now begins </p>
<p dir="ltr">(and darkness I became) <br>
(and darkness I became) </p>
<p dir="ltr">My Beloved, come home to me <br>
And I will welcome you with sleep <br>
Dreams, you've not ever imagined <br>
And deathless wed of housed mystique </p>
<p dir="ltr">(the belonging shall be) </p>

About the time you start thinking, 'maybe' <br>
- is about the time they start backing away.</p>
<p dir="ltr">All relationships start with fire and settle some ... but not dwindle so much that an extremely tiny whimper of a spark would seem fascinating.<br>
And especially when a relationship ends before its had a fair chance to begin.</p>
<p dir="ltr">It can cause more than heartbreak,<br>
more accurately - damage, when people come on with intensity but don't mean it.<br>
It isn't that hard for a person to be honest from the start and not lead another on with amorous convictions, when they lack the grit to follow through.</p>
<p dir="ltr">This is the side of love ... that's cruel</p>

Moon's spellbinding Muse <br>
Delight this Soul <br>
However you choose </p>
<p dir="ltr">Big eyes you have <br>
No one can compare <br>
You dazzle and lure <br>
What big smile you wear </p>
<p dir="ltr">Before you waits <br>
Sacrificial lambs <br>
Long daggers palm <br>
The tall, black door slams </p>
<p dir="ltr">Be still, my little black heart <br>
There's much beauty in the dark <br>
Share it with me<br>
Be still, my little black heart <br>
All which beats, I give to you <br>
Do what you will </p>
<p dir="ltr">Perfumed air drifts <br>
Patchouli and sex <br>
Worshippers vie <br>
Flesh altars for hex </p>
<p dir="ltr">Cabernet kiss <br>
Rocking, black lair thrills <br>
Low music grinds <br>
And the chalice spills </p>
<p dir="ltr">Be still, my little black heart <br>
There's much beauty in the dark <br>
Share it with me <br>
Be still, my little black heart <br>
All which beats, I give to you <br>
Do what you will </p>

Burned my past to fight shy of compare <br>
Gave you a garden to palace love <br>
Braved the waywardness you chose to wear </p>
<p dir="ltr">You lamented immortal passion <br>
A ballad-bliss with a poet's breath <br>
But when it was right in front of you <br>
Your indifferent heart bid its death </p>
<p dir="ltr">I would have done anything for you <br>
And I would have draped you in flowers <br>
What could have been - withered to nothing <br>
You wished it away, wasted the hours <br>
(now, the flowers have died) </p>
<p dir="ltr">I built you an altar for romance <br>
Gilt with the splendour of early Spring <br>
But you never placed care or keepsake <br>
You had not an offering to bring </p>
<p dir="ltr">I would have done anything for you <br>
And I would have draped you in flowers <br>
What could have been - withered to nothing <br>
You wished it away, wasted the hours <br>
(now, the flowers have died) </p>
<p dir="ltr">Is it the Melancholy you were after ... <br>
To speak of shattered attempts and how you've cried? <br>
How will those words taste, knowing what you denied? <br>
(now, the flowers have died)<br>
(now, the flowers have died)</p>

All I think of is indigo <br>
And with that, my mind is racing <br>
Restless thoughts have nothing else to know <br>
(but your sweet love) </p>
<p dir="ltr">Your hands, your dulcet fingertips <br>
My skin keeps constant memory <br>
How powerless I am with you <br>
Blue room, blue eyes, bluer than the sea </p>
<p dir="ltr">Reliving each moment, last with you <br>
How your body commands, pleads and moves <br>
Breathy, risqué echoes haunt with hue </p>
<p dir="ltr">Rain's tapping outside the window <br>
Leaves and branches flash, rapping slow <br>
Night rumbles after lightning's glow <br>
Restless thoughts have nothing else to know <br>
(but your sweet love) </p>
<p dir="ltr">And I feel you within the thunder <br>
I can't escape this spell I'm under <br>
(my indigo) <br>
Your love completely captivates me <br>
Blue room, blue eyes, bluer than the sea <br>
(my indigo) </p>

With haunting, love songs that collide <br>
Our embrace, like hot elixir <br>
Quenching bond, we both feel inside </p>
<p dir="ltr">(I want to drink of your soul) </p>
<p dir="ltr">Everything I am - is yours <br>
You're my world, you make it sublime <br>
I belong to you, entirely <br>
And you'll belong to me ... in time </p>
<p dir="ltr">(I want to drink of your soul) </p>
<p dir="ltr">Who cares about others or how they might perceive us to be<br>
Their vanilla lust often crumbles to dust <br>
They'll never know the taste of a touch for dark lovers, as we </p>
<p dir="ltr">Let me be the love you've not had <br>
And only the night sky be clad <br>
(by the shimmering depth of your eyes) </p>
<p dir="ltr">Pair with me, sleeping fantasies <br>
Trust with me, tranquil mysteries <br>
(We'll be dream weavers, fevers shall rise) </p>
<p dir="ltr">Come, fill this fierce trembling and thirst that sends me out of control <br>
My love, how I want to stay wrapped in you and drink of your soul <br>
(to infinity) </p>
<p dir="ltr">(infinity) </p>

So many lies, when they all swore they would stay <br>
I've been disillusioned, yet fell, overtaken <br>
Hoping against hope they wouldn't go away </p>
<p dir="ltr">Frost on encounters, frost on hands that make reach <br>
Could it be to belong or am I snow blind?<br>
Icicles and prisms bewitch with visions<br>
But are cold to the depths, disguised as designed </p>
<p dir="ltr">I want today, tomorrow and forever <br>
I need to believe 'neath this Winter white spell <br>
Feel a warmth I've never had or imagined <br>
Sweep over me, melt this iced fear that befell </p>
<p dir="ltr">Shatter this atmosphere that courses my blood <br>
Smash and free, give to me - endless, burning love </p>
<p dir="ltr">New Winter tale<br>
Winter spell (our love)<br>
Icicles and prisms bewitch with visions<br>
Our own world (our love)<br>
New Winter tale<br>
Winter spell (our amazing love)</p>
