A poem that I wrote tonight an set to music ~
What if this flower past tonight
A moment lived a moment lost
Kissed the earth with a song
A bitter rise a bitter fall
Surrender
It hears the wind, the light it drinks
A journey lived a journey lost
Pedals pulled – adored – then tossed
A fallen star – a wish – a death
Surrender

Color me
Paint me bright upon your skin so fair
I realize
I feel again
In the motion of your song I fall
Through your pain
Chorus
And I’ve been waiting for my soul to cry
Bitter kisses on my heart
You’ve come closer than my yesterday
Won’t you free my pain
Won’t you free – my pain
Stay with me
Hold me like you feel at home
With my soul
Cry with me
Scream your pain into my body
And shatter me
{Shatter me and set me free
This victory is all I see – in you}

A new song I wrote . . . I put together a quick recording last night. I’m considering it for my upcoming CD.
Verse 1
You’ve laid awake too long in this tragedy
I feel your hunger and your pain
Too many years of dark cold melodies
Washed away now in this full moon rain
Chorus
Let the fire blaze like the midnight sun
Let your hair fall down – I’m the only one
Who can speak your peace on this crazy train
Let our love wash down in the full moon rain
Verse 2
You feel your life song is vanishing
But I see hope beyond the score
Lost in your moment of surrendering
Release it now in this full moon rain
Bridge
You bleed into the night
One breath into the dark
This world is not your home
A refugee of love
A bitter ending light
You cast all hope aside

A cute little pop song I wrote yesterday 
I wake up every day
Just to dream you back into my mind
You’re everything to me
My up and down
My turnaround so sing this song with me
Hold me close to your soul – cause
I need your smile in my life
You put kisses on each corner of my heart
I heard your voice today
In the ocean and the sky
You’re the hope in my life
My up and down
Now turnaround and kiss me strong and . . .
Whispers in the dark
Carry me so far
Silence and your breath
I know

I finished recording and pre-mastering “In A Moment”. It’s one of six songs on my upcoming EP. One other song will be as involved with instruments, similar to this song. The other songs will be me and my guitar.
Know any “students” who would like to mix and master my music for practice? Then I can just concentrate on writing music, making a simple recording, and posting the song.
In A Moment is my second attempt at music production using Studio One Pro recording software.
I welcome ANY critical listening FEEDBACK. I have no idea what I’m doing so your ears can help me! Bring the flaws to light, please.
In a moment I will see you
In a moment we will be
Two in one and one is all we need
To love
In a moment I will touch your lips
In a moment we will be
Skin on skin and under linen white as snow
You fall on me
I will hold you like a melody
Sing each word into your soul
Breathing in your skin you speak to me
And I cry
Feel the rush of love in my fallen tears
Rolling gently over your skin
In this moment I would bleed for you
I would die for you

She’s the spell and she’s the answer
She’s a fire in the fields
Moving quickly she’s a dancer
Take your place beneath her heal
Chorus
Carolina move the waters
Carolina part the seas
Wave your hand across the heavens
Take your place upon your knees – you are free
She’s a lover she’s a fighter
She’s a flower in the fields
Hold her gently and you’ll lose her
Pain and passion’s what she feels
Chorus
Carolina shake the mountains
Carolina scream your name
Cast your gaze up to the heavens
Releasing from the pain – you are free
You Run Deep

I see you hiding neath the clouds
I see you barefoot in the rain
I see the waves tumbling over you
Wash you clean – Wash you new
Chorus ~
But like the midnight sun in Your radiant sky
I’m blinded by my hope and pain
Touched by love and saved by grace
A deeper passion touches my soul – you run deep
I hear you talking with folded hands
I hear you sing – I taste your words
I hear the wind rushing over you
Wash you clean – Wash you new
Bridge ~
Oh, my life is just a breath
A song ending slow
I abandon every step – I will sing – I will crawl
YOU RUN DEEP - Words and Music by James Olmos

in AcousticEnergy, James Olmos, Lyrics, Music, original song Tags: depression, fear, hiding, loneliness, lost, pain, walls
She moves me on the water – She takes me cross the sea
Like the thunder in the heavens – She brings me to my knees
She hides me in the shadows – She bleeds in me her pain
With the tears that fall from her eyes – I bathe in her new rain
Chorus 1
Breathe on me your fire – Breathe on me your light
And these walls that kiss the heavens – Will keep us safe tonight
She calms me with her whispers – She moves me with her eyes
Like the midnight sweat from a broken dream – She comes from deep inside
She traps me in the mountains – She keeps me far from love
This journey that was meant for me – Was stolen from above
Bridge~
And I will honor your love – Cause our walls are the same
Our eyes they search for sunlight – As we look out past the pain
Chorus 2~
In this tomb of isolation – No tears to wash me clean
Cause the higher this wall rises – The less I feel the pain

I see your colors – Bleed in to me
We share this moment of surrendering
I hear your heart beat – One by One
And feel the motion of the earth and sun – Move you to me
One by One – One by One
I hear the music – In your beating heart
Draws me near and pulls me from the dark
You found me wandering – A life undone
We rediscovered love – One by One
One by One – One by One
Bridge ~
And this battle in my soul - A wreckage on the shore
You pulled me from the dark – Spoke healing to my soul
Crying one – One by One

Feel The Love

Holding on another day – I see the light and I feel alright once again
It’s you and me against the world – So on our knees we fall
Running away against the wind (She speaks her song)
Feel the warmth on my skin
Holding up against the storm – But like a melody we fall – and rise
Chorus ~
Rise with me tonight and feel the love (x2)
Feel the love in my arms
You and me against the world – Seeing love in a different light – You cry
Your tears they fall – Through the crevasse of my dreams
You’re the dawn of my night – Fighting love but feeling fine against the sun
I’ll hold you like the morning rain – In the vessel of my heart
Bridge ~
I love you (x3) Feel the love in my arms – tonight
