on the horizon

Seems I'll never learn to recognize
The tempest out on the horizon
Never thinking for a moment of
the storm's impact -- unpredictable and sudden.

Time after Time
I'll head for the storm

Each time the thunder crashes
and my soul jumps with penance.
Each time the lightening scares me
with sudden flashes of passionate brilliance.

Time after Time
I'll head for the storm

Each time it gets so alarmingly dark
Just like falling in a deep, deep hole.
Each time is a refreshing reminder
As the rain pours on me to console.

Time after Time
I'll head for the storm

Each time is different
with lessons that entwine.
Each time is the same
Putting my all on the line.

Time after Time
I'll head for the storm

why ask why?

Why did you say you loved me
when you knew you loved her more?
Why did we make sweet passionate love?
Is that all you needed me for?

Why do I listen to those melancholy songs
when all they do is remind me of our story?
It hurts more than I imagined
What can ever set my heart free?

You are my sweetest downfall
Why am I still under your spell?
There's nothing more in this world
for me but a living, loveless hell.

Why did we come together
when it was never meant to last?
Why did you swear we would be one someday?
Will I ever forget the pain of our past?

Why am I still missing you after all these years?
It is the curse that follows me throughout all my days.
I long to be in your arms once again
despite it all, I will love you, forever and always.

you in my bed

As I awoke slowly this morning
Next to me appeared an inviting silhouette
I reached out to smell, to embrace this vision
Needing to unite as a spooning duet.

Now my lucid dreaming takes me back
To when I was wearing that green sundress.
Warm and relaxed, enjoying time suspended
Going to astral places I don't want to suppress.

Dreams of you
You in my bed.

Enjoying the sensations welling up inside
Yearning for your touch, your lips, your sweat
Pulling you in for a soul-weaving kiss
Can it be that we have never even met?

I have not allowed myself to feel this way
Too afraid that it will be - oh so good - like heroin
So good that I would never ever want to stop
But in this surreal place, I have nowhere to run.

Dreams of you
You in my bed.

Caressing - squeezing - holding on tight
But the only one under the bed cover
Is one big fluffy feathery pillow
Masquerading happily as my lover.

You in my head
You in my bed.

I Yi Yi

I paint.
See?

I write.
Read?

I sing.
Hear?

I cook.
Taste?

I teach.
Learn?

I give.
Receive?

I desire.
Feel?

I undress.
Watch?

I need.
Complete?

I'm lost.
Find.

I'm just an avatar

I'm just an avatar
Or could I be a Hollywood star?
You wouldn't know if I had a handicap
Maybe I'm just a booby trap.

I'm just an avatar
Possibly I play the steel guitar
Perhaps I am a classic nutcase
Or someone with a pretty face.

I'm just an avatar
Might I be a technology czar?
You may ponder if I'm smart
Or wonder if I'm merely a tart?

I'm just an avatar
Maybe I even drive a squad car
But what you'll discover in my smile
You'll swear I came from an emerald isle.

I'm just an avatar
Stuck here in this online pickle jar
I could be a spell-casting witch
I might be a self-righteous bitch.

It's not hard to be an Original
When you're bored like Jonathan Livingston Seagull
But I beg of you - don't be smitten
By the words I've written.

I'm just an avatar
It's conceivable that I'm really bizarre
Just remember that on the Internet
No one knows if you're blonde or brunette

I can be your cyberspace hottie
But never forget that I am Somebody
I can BE what you want me to BE
As long as we both agree

That I'm just an avatar
That you've admire from afar
I'm a little of this and a little of that
Stop by anytime for a friendly online chat

because I'm just an avatar.
