Bind Up My Life

An Empty Vessel

My heart,
An empty vessel
Waiting
To be filled
With an elixir
Of passion

My soul
An arid desert
Waiting
To be drenched
With the promise
Of love

Me�
I�m waiting for you
Charcoal Sky

Spattered up there
Against a charcoal sky
The blues stare down
At my sad green eyes

Stewing in my juices
Waiting for the storm
Feel it in that hollow spot
That used to keep me warm

Well it�s hell
Out on the prairie
I have no more to roam
In fact it�s goddamn scary
Out here living all alone

Got a bad bad case of the blues
Just a bad bad case of the blues�..
Perfection

A thousand rings
From a drop extended
Can you hear the last one?
Can you see it?
Can you feel it?
No, of course you can�t
But you would like to,
Wouldn�t you?
To feel that stillness
Flowing outward
Then carried
In the current
To God Knows Where�
But for a moment
Perfection�.
Wondering Why
Its not the how
But the when of me
That has me figeting
And fussing
In a stormy impatient sea
Stewing and brewing
For that wailing red-face
Head birth
Of my destiny
I crouch among my madness
Like a cat with twitchy ears
Taunt muscles
Waiting for to pounce
On mousy timid fears
And in the darkness waiting
As the fan turns round and round
I hear harmonic pounding
With an empty hollow sound
It is the beating of my heart
Measuring my wait
Getting for the ready
To meet an unknown fate
I close my eyes and witness
As I climb the podium stair
Full of expectation
At the veiled creation there
But no one dares pull the ropes
Of this strange and awful thing
For you see its up to me
To pull the proper strings
I just don�t know
Where I�m supposed to go
I�ll stop and think some more
And then Ill wring my hands again
Wondering why and who I do  this for.
A Blanket Full of Mysteries

A blanket full of mysteries
When the beginning first began
I�ve walked a thousand while�s ago
And then come back again

I�m out here in this forest
Just hangin from the trees
Going green to autumn
In a fog infested breeze

Lost out in the wilderness
Worried on the plain
A blanket full of mysteries
Wrapped �round me in the rain

So take my hand and tell me
Just how it all began
We�ve walked a thousand while�s ago
Let�s come on back again�.
