Lions Talk to Me


Lions talk to me.

Beasts who guard the gates of death.

Heroes just hear roars.

We Burn Much Hotter


Bombs fall around us.

You hold me. It’s not scary.

We burn much hotter.

This Story Lives On


Like an eighties song,

you can’t throw away my heart.

This story lives on.

You said, “We were dead.”


We talk in silence.

Closer than when we were real.

You said, “We were dead.”

At Night They Gain Ground


At night they gain ground.

Meditate to my music.

I still hear footsteps.

Love Reverses Pain


The blues feel so good.

I’m falling upwards from you.

Love reverses pain.
