Imagining you here, makes things seem clear
And it kills and fades away all fears.
Tears, tears, tears, oh, why did I have tears?
The sharpness of melancholy hits like spears.
Something is inside me and only God knows
That I'm going through something that blows.
The wind carries my soul to who knows where
All I can see there is your fluttering hair.
And I'll be alright, babe, I'm only feeling
All the things I held inside for so long.
I'm doing it to myself so that I'll be healing
And be myself for us as I sing you this song.
I'm feeling, healing, twisting, turning
Holding, crying, kissing, yearning.
My soul is in the Everest and you appear
To imagine you there makes things so clear.
I'm in love, like you don't know
I'll write you forever so I can show.
But, no, I don't have to write it, no
You already know it shows
And if it didn't I'd feel so low
And I wouldn't deserve to glow.
You left, but here you're fresh,
Deep down, buried in my flesh.
Our blood is all the same
Your soul within me is inflamed.
I feel you completely like rain
Falling all around me, its all the same.
Your eyes engulf my soul to proclaim
That I am you and you are me,
And all shame turns real lame.
I'm missing you so much baby,
So much its got me hazy.
I'm thinking and finding ways
To show myself It'll be okay.
And my arm hurts where I got scraped,
And your kisses could make it fade.
And your eyes could make it all okay
And since you're gone my mind's delayed.
Oh, baby, I miss you so much
Oh, God, I'm out of touch.
I'm going to sit and I wont rush
Until I'm calm again to touch.
Mind decay must cease
Brain matter will be at ease.
Sitting down, legs crossed
So I don't feel like Jack Frost.
I feel more like Robert Lee Frost
Writing from a soul that's not lost
But only feels that way sometimes
When a special lady can't read his rhymes.
And I'm good and I feel fine!
I just had to tell you how I feel.
To let it out in a short time
Makes me feel so real!
And I'm really healed, baby
So don't look at me with eyes of fear.
In my mind I hold you like my lady,
And Imagining you here makes things clear.
And people send me messages, but they don't come
from you,
So I feel disappointed and start to feel the
blues.
I begin to see Picasso crying by the picture of a
Muse,
He's praying to it, crying, "where are my good
news?"
And Dali comes to hold him, and dance for him
nude,
But Picasso isn't cheered by this, he still feels
crude.
Van Gogh will later come with a few points of
view,
And Picasso will be healed, crying he was
ever confused.
And I'm not confused or feel abused,
And to use excuses I refuse.
Down the wall drips a red ooze
To try to make my mind short fuse.
There's no water to conduct a charge
And electrocution will not barge
To tell me what I have to do at large
To make the world accept what it thinks is small
but is actually large.
My eyes open up to see you in the morning
And space and time collide to rip the sphere.
Fire falls to the ground with no warning
But imagining you here, makes things so clear.
And planet earth spins so fast it changes
Into a ball of fire that wont disappear.
Tiny little bugs scatter and infect with mange
But imagining you here, makes things so clear.
And what we knew as matter twists and turns
And collapses on its own to peer
Into the soul of boys who have so much to learn
But imagining you here, makes things so clear.
The conqueror worm is crawling out tonight
But I'll stop its slimy trail, I promise, dear.
And its tail will curl up and turn real white
Because imagining you here, makes things so clear.
Just like Poe said: ""Minds mutter and mumble low--
Mere puppets they, who come and go
Disguised as gods,
They shift the scenery to and fro
Inevitably trapped by invisible woe."
But the invisible woe has faded now,
All things feel right as day appears.
The strangers in the night come out to vow
As imagining you here, makes all things clear.
All the images that confused me much
Are leaving my mind now, moving like gears.
The happiness inside me reaches out to touch
And imagining you here, makes things so clear
..So I've thought up a new world and there's no fear
Because you and me roam through there all year.
Part II: Realizations Of You
My rare, radiant lady, I miss you so much more
As the sprinkles of time progress throughout my core.
Time and light have mixed together and have made me sore
And I picture holding hands with you upon the shore.
The beach sand is white and shines as we explore
And our kisses meet to ignite what I adore.
Your face radiates and screams and roars
And fire flies around, that makes us soar.
My body, holding yours, is rising up above,
With flying birds that look like doves.
Love's energy is divine and I implore
The heart of God to knock on my door.
And here comes my love, finally here
Her pretty curves I missed and feared.
Feared that I would never see them near
Close to my heart where energy appears.
Warmth is all I am now, and nothing more
Love is taking over all the blue.
The moon is filled with golden hues that soar
To the realizations of you.
I see you where the rain never falls
And the sun rises twice as strong.
Your traces take over the halls
Lighting them up like a pretty song.
You are the sun that is that strong
And makes everything last so long.
When you're around the rain wont fall
It'll go around us like a shield is tall.
And the sad uncertainty that blows against the window pane
And the quiet rustling of leaves that gives us pain
Is dying and fading with the simple truth
That comes to my mind as the realizations of you.
And let this long rhyme roar and echo in every chamber
That is filled with love and fear and hatred.
The love grows stronger, fear and hatred die and waiver
And images of caring smiles are painted.
Part III: I Love You
And the girl for whom this all exists is radiant and free
And all day long I yearn for her to come and be with me.
Her name is beautiful like twirling wind upon a lake
That twists with roses and flowers that shake.
The name that glides through space like stars
And comes back down to find me lost
Is beautiful and enough to erase all scars
"Leilah, Leilah, Leilah", takes away the frost.
"Leilah, Leilah, Leilah", in the sky of Mars with flavors
That are smelled from earth and taste like flowers
With twirling dancers that sing to take away the sour
And then love begins to rain the soul with showers.
My eyes deeply stare and say "I love you like the sun"
And the sun itself feels jealous and its core is done.
My Leilah, in the clouds of heaven we lay as one
And my soul shoots you with love as if it was a gun.
I smell the fumes of love strongly like perfume
And it takes my lungs to a lit up room.
My love for you makes the roses in the garden bloom
With the smell of sweetness fresh out of the tomb.
My eyes stare and say I want to be your groom,
Your eyes look back and I feel you want it, too.
I need your eyes in my life to kill the gloom
And their special glow that says "I love you".
Your pretty songs that all ring true
And open the door to my soul to step through
Are stuck in my mind and sound so new
Full of silliness and serious love from you.
My words fall from my mind like air
And water courses through my veins so fair.
Com-plotted villains run away with tears
As true love fills their hearts with fears.
In the cold nights the wind carries your name
It whispers "Leilah" and "you'll be okay".
It holds, embraces with love's fiery flame
And makes all bitter hearts begin to sway.
I will climb a mountain that is higher than sky
And when I reach the top you will know why.
Your name will echo down like a bird that flies
And enter every home with the warmth of your eye.
The warmth will turn over sorrow and it'll die
There on the spot where it always lied.
Listen to the wind, it whispers," Leilah"
Hear the sirens of the cops, they whisper," Leilah"
Watch the tears of the nun, they whisper, " Leilah"
Find the shadows of the moon, they whisper, "Leilah"
Kiss the lips of your lover, they whisper, "Leilah."
And I see Leilah in my breakfast toast..
And Leilah there in my pot roast..
And Leilah there in the steam of a morning shower..
And Leilah there in my mind for hours and hours..
And Leilah there, buried deep in my heart..
And Leilah there, when the car wont start..
And I see Leilah in the wind that has no shape..
And Leilah inside the bowl that's full of grapes..
And Leilah here and there and everywhere..
And Leilah's face always buried in that hair..
And Leilah's smile in the mirror in the bathroom..
And Leilah's traces in the floor against the broom..
And Leilah in the first morning of school..
And Leilah in the garden shed full of tools..
And Leilah in the boxes and crates in the attic..
And Leilah in the deep sea and life aquatic..
And Leilah in the depths of heaven with a cheer..
And Leilah everywhere without a fear..
I imagine Leilah everywhere and it makes things so clear.
And I love you so much the blackness turns white
And all time goes back-wards and into the night.
What is left is absolute love that cannot die
No matter how hard every worm tries.
My words are clear and I have no fear
That loving you will kill all tears.
The gardens are fair and I see you there
With pretty flowers in your hair.
And twisted trees that seemed so dead
All come back to life in my head.
Their gray and white branches turn brown
And the leaves grow back like crowns.
I sit and watch so carefully as our love creates the world,
Everything that was dead before is now again unfurled.
I love you so much space seems to twist and twirl
To the songs of love you sing and the words of love you curl.
Your tongue rolls as you speak and I come close to your cheek
To kiss the lips of heaven that I see in front of me.
My body shivers and groans and I grow a million feet
My soul is peace and calmness with everything I meet.
Your hair is dark so that your moonlit eyes may shine on it
And bring back to life the flowers that decayed and quit.
The wind brings it's blackness to my cheeks to make me submit
To the feeling that heaven has fallen just to make us lit.
I love you and I hope its shown so clearly
That no question could ever formulate so dreary
To make my heart feel sad and weary
Like a dead bird falling from the sky so eerie.
Part IV: Appreciation
And my love is there and here and everywhere
And you can hold and toss it everywhere.
My hands want to run through your hair
And love every inch of blackness there.
And you can take me for granted,
But realize how much I love you.
I'm writing you these words I hope are wanted
To prove I appreciate and want you.
My words cannot run out and I can go forever
Showing you I need you and I'll leave you never.
I want to press my face against you and feel it shiver
As I whisper my love for you and then deliver.
So you can take me for granted
But my soul will still not stop
Loving and caring for you like a flower planted
That the sun loves like a crop.
And If you really want to you can take it all for granted:
My words, my loves, my soul's spilling emotions.
They are granted to you, without asking or being chanted
Like a rain that falls naturally without potions.
And our love is no potion-- that blasphemy is horror
Our love came from the sky like rain, falling naturally with honor.
I'll never forget the day my realizations came
And I turned to you to light my fading flame.
Part V: There Is No Beginning, No End
There is no beginning, no end
To this love that has always been.
The faces that I see in bed
Have told me this within:
A special love has always been
And it mixes our souls without a "when?"
There are no clocks to measure us
Because we were not made for a cause.
We simply are, and always were together
And your pretty hands always felt like feathers.
My eyes always looked into your soul
With a penetration that makes us feel so whole.
And part of me is part of you
So that parts of me need parts of you.
And when you're not around its blue
But I bring about those parts to view.
I'm no longer thinking to let clarity rise
Because it comes naturally as it appears.
Realizations of you show me the skies
That draw "I love you" with no fears.
Appreciation fills my passionate eyes,
There is no beginning, no end to peer
Everything makes sense, there are no "whys?"
Imagining you here, makes things so clear.
