Drifting Away

He sits now gazes at nothing
His mind floats away like a peice of driftwood on the tides
  A tear races down a worried cheek
The love that was once as certain as the sunset
  Now seems to have lost it's way
Drifting alone on the ocean's swells
  But no matter how high the waves
Or how strong the gust
  It can never sink
So he kisses a finger,holds it high into the air
  And lets the southern winds carry the kiss away
To land on lips, loved still to this day.


Slip Away

Waves wash the sand from under my feet
Slowly it pulls away and there I stand
 Sometimes I feel you slipping away
Because of reasons I don't understand
 I do feel my heart ripping in two
But there I stand,reaching out
 Trying to hold on to you.

Death Of A Sailor

He lays there
         With death at his side
       He thinks of the times alone on the tides
             He sees an image
       Though not of the ocean or her treasures inside
         But of a beautiful angel
       Hair of auburn red, eyes glowing green
             She reaches out to him
         Together they fly
       High above the deepest blue of mother ocean
             She lets him fall
      Slowly he drifts,his eyes locked onto hers,a never ending gaze
         As he slips into the ocean's belly
             Forever to be held by the one he loved. 

THE EDGE

 

O Angels, O Angels
Come take this pain from me
From this hotel room so far away
My soul has been mortally wounded

O Angels, O Angels
Take me back to the places I love
Fly me back on wings of doves
Take me to the ocean to rest

O Angels, O Angels
My life has taken such twist
There were days so special
I dare not say
But now i wander in the darkness of my memories

O Angels, O Angels
Let me rest
Let me sleep
Let me awake to the memories
Let me live them one more day
