You're Mine

YOU'RE MINE - Written by Carroll Bryant 

Is this the beginning of time?
Your hand inside of mine
The way that it’s feeling
I could swear I am dreaming
But I know that you’re right by my side

I’m taking that as my sign

Are you gonna stay for a lifetime?
If so, your life or mine?
This time there’s no fooling
All that you are doing to me
Is blowing away all of my mind

You are the one who makes me whole
You are the one I need to hold
You are the moon
You are the sun
You are every song ever sung
You’re every story that has ever been told
You’re alpha - omega
The bright star of Vega
You’re everything in this world that is alive
And girl, you’re mine

Is this the way that it goes?
This heart is all that I know
I feel so endymion
Which way to you again?
And I know that my love will show

It's gonna grow

You are the one that makes it true
You are the one and only one you
You are the day
You are the night
You are the sparkle of light
You’re the habit that I can’t undo
You’re this way and that way
Every single word I say
You’re everything in this world that is alive
And girl, you’re mine

And when you whisper in my ear
I get so sabbatic
From my senses and I lose control

I lose it, darling

You are the one who makes me whole
You are the one I need to hold
You are the moon
You are the sun
You are every song ever sung
You’re every story that has ever been told
You’re alpha - omega
The bright star of Vega
You’re everything in this world that is alive
And girl, you’re mine

You are the one that makes it true
You are the one and only one you
You are the day
You are the night
You are the sparkle of light
You’re the habit that I can’t undo
You’re this way and that way
Every single word I say
You’re everything in this world that is alive
And girl, you’re mine

You’re alpha-omega
The bright star of Vega
You’re everything of anything that shines

And girl, you’re mine 

The Yelling Tree (Love)

THE YELLING TREE (LOVE) - Written by Carroll Bryant

To your heart, I am an extraterrestrial

An invader to your world

The world

To all worlds known and unknown

A parasite of invalid love

A space cadet drifting aimlessly

Through vortexes and black holes

An astronaut of the nebulas

Traveling from one galaxy to the next

Trying to avoid debris and radio active particles

Breathing from an unending supply of oxygen

From an apparatus made by your hands

Was I not good enough for you?

Too imperfect?

Too real for your fantasies?

Or a blemish on the face of your reality?

It’s quiet out here

Gazing at all the nothingness around me

Reflecting light from distant suns

A moon that embodies everything you are not

To feel like an asteroid

A meteorite

An infallible invention of malcontent

Known exclusively as your “ex”

More like your fool

You’re the one who performed a polar shift!

You’re the one whose orbit is out of whack!

It was your climate that changed!

Was I not bad enough for you?

Too perfect?

Too unfathomable for your thoughts?

Or a stain on the prom dress of your life?

I question your intentions!

I question you!

I hate you!

I love you!

I miss you!

I can’t live!

Without you

And yet I do live

Just barely it seems

My shadows, my self pity

They are my only company

Still alone out here in vast emptiness of every heartbeat

That is yours to take

Why me?

Why now?

Why not?

Why not me?

No!

Trifle as I am in my moments of solitude

I yearn for one day to remove my helmet

And breathe-in time

The dead cold of your soul

The dead cold that deprives me of my smile

Love!

I laugh!

What a joke!

The pain is the punch-line

You are you

I am me

Where can we go from here?

We can go nowhere!

Love …

What a joke

What a laugh

What a tear

Damn you!

Sun Sweet Love

SUN SWEET LOVE - Written by Carroll Bryant 

She turns away from sun sweet love

Invisible to the rain

She cuts herself way too much

Hiding in her shame

She can’t see that happiness isn’t found in a state of shock

But she won’t talk it out

And she won’t balk at the words I write

She just walks right out

She just walks right out of my life

She dances in her own infliction

Crying behind her eyes

She’s a flower of contradiction

Never to realize

She won’t believe in tomorrows hope when her tears refuse to fall

But she won’t try at all

And she won’t listen to the sound of the wind

She just lets it fall

She just lets it fall into the end

Scream at everything that hates you

Run into your secret world

Dream no more if you don’t want to

You’re a big enough girl

Leave the things that won’t invent you

Run into your secret world

Dream no more if you don’t want to

You’re a special girl

Scream at everything that forsakes you

Passion only rules the world

Dream away the life that makes you

You’re a big enough girl

Leave the things that only break you

It’s a runaway world

Dream away the name that he gave you

You’re a special girl

She turns away from sun sweet love

Invisible to the rain

She cuts herself way too much

Hiding in her shame

She can’t see that happiness isn’t found in a state of shock

But she won’t talk it out

And she won’t balk at the words I write

She just walks right out

She just walks right out of my life

Right out of her own life

Right out of my life
