Only We Had Time

Love Is Corrupt

Mumma

Songs for family.

taking my first steps 

in the shadows 

every footprint you left, confined to the shallows

too young for the depths 

taking my first steps in the shadows 

everything i am 

redeeming and good 

the example you set 

best man i ever met 

brother too 

the depths at my neck have swallowed my heart 

weightless 

at the love we extend now we've met as men 

no longer a boy in the shallow end

Dale

Songs for family.

there were days i can recall 

spent atop your shoulders, entire summers 

moment coated veins 

DNA spiked 

moonlighting as brief 

becoming every part of me 

two points ignite 

things get farther away with time 

lighthouse lost 

the tide sinking 

father away with time 

ghost on the bannisters 

dust settles 

lingering a hanging hurt 

waiting for your jackets return 

days waking up late 

weekends spent away 

forrests and lakes 

never focus on mistakes 

father and sons in time 

until the sun loses sight of 

everything to me 

everything to you 

we were all we needed

history repeating finds 

repetition sews 

the in seam of your soul 

im down from your shoulders now 

freaking out 

in harms way now 

every step breaking in fresh soul

Songs for family.

late night movies, 

starved of oxygen when the laughter gets too much 

no need for talking 

when i ate what you did for lunch 

i know, i know that it's gonna be tough 

but if your heart still beats the way I know that it does you'll be fine 

best of all time 

you know it's true. 

no time for tears 

days of running round in a backyard, make believe battles are done. 

no lack of trying 

watched you stumble, back track but always pick yourself up again 

to make mistakes 

learn from them 

now a father 

your kids gonna wanna know. 

the green eyed boy

with my mothers nose

akin to the freckles on my hand 

identical 

how you've grown 

a man in my brothers clothes
