When

open my heart

i see your face

then your smile is lost

without a trace

miles apart

nights bittersweet

still i try to sweeten our dream to taste

 

confined by time

lost in space

our circle complete 

yet somehow erased

our motives undefined

running in place

how can we hope to win the race

 

orbiting the moon

true  love we chase

only

i loose communication with your world

when i land at tranquility base

did we learn too much 

too soon

at times our discord out of tune

yet still i sing amazing grace

 

once lost but now i have found

life without you is a worthless place

still i hear reverberate the shattering

of two  hearts like a priceless vase

no one cares

ignoring the sound

summer  nights once wrapped in lace

now isloated during winter 

without your embrace

 

my emotions abound

running from gomorra

then foolishly  i turn right back around

praying to the father

what am i to do

these thoughts i ponder

when i think of you

 

can we survive

another day

if our love song is now

the sweetest taboo

i walk around 

quite subdued

how can my heart revive

if i find the right church

yet always sit in the wrong pew

 

a dove once plucked

an olive branch

loves purity like his feathers

pure white in hue

a second chance

to love again

yet storm clouds obscure this destination

as he flies helplessly above the mew

 

our  love once the color of tangerine

you were my ray of sunlight

dancing  on morning dew

now i see  a fiend

in plain view

bragging about the dove of peace

he recently slew

 

driving through the town

trying to locate  our love lost

yet inexplicably i turn back around

walking down my street

i see a piece of cotton candy gum discarded

a child refused to chew

did she not like the taste

should we continue

these thoughts i ponder

when i think of you
