Three more, all raw

Practically unedited - I like them better that way.

"Lighthouse"

I'm so little
this big man's body
swimming in the deep waters
where is the horizon
who will
anchor me
in this vastness
You are the shoreline
I long to see
Lighthouse
Your love
makes the meaningless
meaningfull
Your love
a beacon
to my lost soul
Your love
flashing out
sweeping out
the darkness
light me home

walking the back roads of time
seeking a temporary rest

of passion
and truth
lies
and ugliness
who will fire
the clay sculptures
that form this
claymation world
of my dreams
who wouldn't want
to be a real boy
if it meant being something
more
i watch
you move
one frame
at
a
time
through the broken birds
and winding roads
come
make me real

"ashes"

my words
are just a reflection
cast from the dim fire
in the cave
of my soul
feeding on the litter
of days gone by
tattered memories
curling in the flame
i see you
reduced to ashes
