True Color Makes My Heart Sneeze

I try to think of what color 
I might be yet all I can see
Is I'm the color of me

I'm true blue as I can be
I'm still only me
Far as I can see
I'll always be me

When I'm with you
I turn to we 
No matter what I do
I become split in two 
When I join with you

I stay true to you
I stay true blue
Yet I am only me 
I remain the same hue

Alone I am me
Together I become we
The me I want to be
Remains to be seen 

I cannot be you
I don't have a clue
As to where the me
That I am goes when I'm with you
Strangely enough, neither do you

So you be you and I'll be me
And later we'll meet for coffee or tea
We'll look out at the clear blue sea
Stare in your eyes to reflect me

Because I am you and you are me

Dream A Little Dream For Me Lover

With the wings of a falcon
I fly across the valleys of my mind
The wind and my thoughts intertwined
Watch the sky, stars and planets align
Close my eyes, remind myself to unwind

Review events, people I know, combined
Can’t concentrate, lose my faith, resigned
Create a new version for mankind
On dew soaked grass reclined
Confined to visions in my mind

Dream of all I’ve left behind
Step to the left, step to the right
Wonder how to initiate life refined
Once again defined, I alight in flight

Soar across the valleys of my mind

Those Who Die For Color

Midnight blue is the new black
And black eye is the new royal blue
Blaze red is the new St. Lucia sunshine
Yellow rain forest green is the new clear diamond white
And orangutan orange is the new polka dot pastel
Tulip lavender is the new skyscraper gray
Horizon purple is the new sunset black color image heart attack

Waiting for them to invent a color you can’t see so
I could color myself in invisibility
Then when people stop and look at me
They will only see my soul energy and me

Is it worth it? You decide.

My love for you is deeper than the deepest sea
Softer than the softest breeze
Higher than the tallest tree
Don’t ask me why this prize was yours
Not mine to decide

Not what’s said but dread of unsaid
Written words make me become undone
Much more than spoken do
You don’t need this shit called love any more than I do

Move to the beat, broken souls reject
Healing, sift through broken bones
As though the answer lies in our wishes
We become lies we live
Buried in solitude, create a fortress
Make us prisoners
Of our own demise

Hearts like silver need polish
Troubled and cautious, need to demolish
Striving to forget unpunished deeds
Our souls create a fort for faith
Hide away, survive wounds, lost battles, day after day
Feel like I’m a rash or allergy, out of control

Think before you speak or
Forever hold your peace
Like shame from tarnished childhood
Secluded from the sun
There’s nothing won in fighting
Tell me give up
I’ll stop hoping

My love for you is stronger than a hurricane
More powerful than an angry storm at sea
Baby don’t make me try to explain
Feelings I have for you
My heart stuck on you like glue
Love like morning dew
