Being where They are

screaming Valkyries over icy plains
carrying souls of soldiers fallen
in battles without a clear line
on the well trodden snow
a glimpse of this in my waking dreams
and I wake with tears in my eyes

was it in a time when I lived
there perhaps in a cycle of life
in another place another time
through gauzy walls hands reaching in
I want to be where they are
or were, a time parallel

baying of hounds in green forests
was I there am I will I be
am I looking through a window
but I live within and through
there a battle fought
blood on white snow

screams break the cold air
standing there watching
I once was
here, there and everywhere.

Day in Space

We were weightless at last;
On a bed with my girl,
It happened so fast,
It gave us a thrill.

The instructions we face
Were hardly complex;
Whilst we are in space:
'Have frequent sex '

We try to get started,
But she floats away;
The technique is uncharted;
We must not dismay.

I grab at her waist
Trying to mount
But my aim is misplaced
We're floating about

We try to find somewhere
To stay in one place;
The bed and the chair
Were not a good base.

She lies on the floor
Limbs tied with straps
Can I now score?
It is still 'perhaps'

At last we find
The way it is done
Our bodies aligned
We start to have fun

The researchers were pleased
The film was so good
It's been well received
Around Hollywood

a fifth visit

transcending time,
above our own bodies,
sifting through moments past -
experiencing through each other's memory

each train of thought
barreling forward and back,
streaming in and out of each other's paths,
circling each other's spiraling tendrils,
each on their own planes

the light goes dim,
and then a field
with a lone grey cloud, bluish
accompanied by two stark, vibrant walls of color
interrupting the dying light of the setting sun

creating the progression, now
coalescing our energies of self
into one wide, deep river of experience -
a connection fades in

upon our reoccurrence,
after feeling the ages passed in these hours,
an interrelated bond remains
and will inevitably last through the perpetual energy
of impact and embrace

If I could hold time.
It seems like there's never enough.
I would hold it to spend everyday of eternity with you.
If I could hold your hand for simply a day.
That would just be okay.
To see your face, everyday is just not a possibilty.
So I would hold time within day, just for I can see you forever.
Is that enough time for you.
If I could rewind, I would tell you everyday that I was sorry.
If I could rewind, I would embrace you everyday.
If I could rewind, I would kiss your lips.
If I could hold time, your the one I would want to spend it with.
But time never stops for no one.
And when the time ended for you.
The thing I wanted to do the most...
Was to rewind to the day we met.

Other Voices


Hurry now,
there isn’t much time left—
do you hear them, the other voices?
They’re just beyond the veil, and
getting closer.

Our time is almost up,
our time is almost up,
and I lived a lifetime with you,
In a day
in a day,
in only one day—

Do you see it? It becomes mist,
the transparency, the veil, the
haze….just smoke and mirrors now,
opening to suck us back in with the
other voices.

Help me find a way, to
stay;
a way to stay in the haze
with you—

It is here where I am truly alive, and see
the importance of all things,
by just the touch of your hand
in mine.  

Gather the auras in the air, and hold
them together with me;
keep the other voices out
of our world, for

just

another

day…

What did I do to receive this gift
I'm not sure if it will turn out to be a curse
but I'm in heaven facing a major rift
My mother is here, and she is looking for her purse

She thinks I stole her money again and asks how
Imagine that, she still thinks I lied
So I just look at her and say three words:  "You know now"
It seems that that will answer all the questions she had before I died

Surely, she understands why I was a tortured soul
and why it took me longer to straighten out than others
But steal her money?  For Christ's sake, that one is old
It was not me, but I'm not the most convincing of daughters

I've only been here a half hour and already I'm in trouble
I can't wait to see my Nana; surely, she understands
Oh fuck, I forgot what happened in 1984; she blamed me double
for something my uncle did; I never confessed causing her to take things into her own hands

On Grammy, you loving woman of old
I remember when I slept over in your trailer
thank you for teaching me how to sew
You never called me fat, thanks for that favor

Daddy, Daddy, where are you, it's me
Your Baby Lynne Ann is here at last
What?  He is not here?  WTF don't you see
The only reason I am here is for him to meet me

Two hours, surely there is a mistake
He has been waiting since I was sixteen
Jesus Christ, come on, he loved me, for God's sake!
Surely, he didn't go to hell just because of being drunk and mean; after all, I didn't, and that is obscene

Eight hours later, and I've met all my uncles and aunts I loved
Only one had a problem with me on earth and didn't forget
The time I drag raced by her house almost sending the family dog to this place above
Eat shit, the dog didn't die and the car didn't get wrecked

This is starting to suck a big fat moose cock
Let's get this party started, I want my dad
What?  Only country music, that sucks too, no rock?
Alright, this is heaven, I heard country music was a fad

Why am I feeling guilty?  Who else is there to see
OK, stepdad, you were a drunk too, forget about it
I thought all that was here was my family
Where is my dad, will he be here in a bit?

This isn't funny, I said goodbye to everyone at home
For this?  I only did it because I thought he would be here
It made it easier knowing the way would be shown
And it was, but the angels have not sent me my daddy dear yet

Only eight more hours left, and I've flown around the universe
twice, waiting, flying, waiting, apologizing, flying
And I've met my grandfather, my great grandfather and I know their families from birth
Now I never imagined that heaven was meant for crying

The entrance was bright yet surreal
It is the kind of place where things don't happen with fear
But I'm not sure why I feel duped; that is just how I feel
Betrayal isn't a word I thought I would use here

Who do I see?  Who is in charge?  Is it this dude with the beard
He already gave me the sign of the cross; isn't that forever
I want to see my daddy, do you hear
He promised me that he would be here in my dreams; on earth, I wasn't allowed to see him, ever

Only an hour left, and I am stuck in orbit
with only my memories to amuse me
Everyone I've offended is on one side and the others don't give a shit
this place is just like earth, why can't anyone see

What do I have to do to at least meet the man
who gave me life and did his best from far away
What's that?  Just calm down?  You'll do what you can?
And all I have to do is pray?

The twenty-forth hour has approached
Hi Daddy!  A a handsome Italian man has shown his face
No need to apologize or speak of any wrongdoings; those subjects aren't broached
I just need to bask in his love and enjoy the end of this race

Every night I close my eyes my soul lifts out of my body to transcend,
I'm on a mountain top soaring with the eagles that fly.
I'm running along side the wolves who cry to the full moon, as they sing their lullabies.

I'm in the depths of the oceans swimming with the sharks, hunting pray, cold beating hearts. I swim through the coral reefs. I'm going deeper than I dreamed I'd be.

I hover over my sleeping body as my soul drifts away, I float through the clouds up above I long to stay. I see other souls some with bodys that sleep like mine, others who permanently live in another space and time.

We chat about old times, as we move along, going to places we probably don't belong. Still evey night I close my eyes my soul lifts out of my body to transcends to places through space and time an adventure awaits me again tonight.

A day without you

A day without you is like falling asleep on a bright sunny day,
Because you are a blessing sent from the sky, I pray,
No one can deny the way you've changed me,
In each other's harms is where we need to be,

A day without you is like a riddle,
Incomprehensible, deprived of any sense, of any logic
Thoroughly, I've been looking for that sparkle, that magic,
Between beauty and kindness, you've found the just middle,

A day without you is not worth living.

In another time perhaps another space you would certainly recognize my face.
In another time perhaps another space you would know my warm embrace.

For a moment I held you, I heard your cry, I let out a heavy sigh thinking of all the possibilities that would never be. Your time here is short, yet you filled my heart with little memories. I felt you grow, I called you by name, I talked to you every single day. Nine months we had together, I never imagined you would be light as a feather.

Heavy is my heart, having to hold what I have got. My arms are tired, my body is sore, but still I long to have a bit more. What I wouldn't give for a little more time. Holding you close to my heart's beat, I hope it helps you drift off to sleep.

In another time perhaps another space you and I will meet again. Up to heaven I'm now forbidden as it's not my time to go. I will hold you tight as I say good night watching you take your last breath. The scares I carry will remind me of a love we could have shared.

In another time perhaps another space you will recognize my face, you may know my voice we may then rejoice my little baby boy. I lift you up, the tears flow faster this is a disaster. Though I must say goodbye, please know how hard I tried.  

I will lay you down to rest, in this wooden chest. Everyday I will come to see you, I will read to you, I will  play with you. I will plant flowers around your stone so that you may always know that one day I will see you again.

Time Vagina

in space-time you move all over space but only forward in time
in time-space you can move anywhere in time
I been looking for the vagina
the vagina of time
I need to know if such a vagina exists
and who would be its proprietor
if she will swore allegiance to my inquiry
I would like to put my master key
in between her mastery
and unlock the secret of the Universe
all gentlemen know, ladies come first
and when the super nova bursts
I will be at the beginning of nothingness
creation came from chaos
and she came all over me
no space no time
yet very much alive
I search for that magical vagina
the vagina that will take me back in time
the vagina that holds the power of time travel
I must find more vaginas to unravel

In another dimension, you don't hate me.
In another dimension, I message you to talk about my boy.
In another dimension, you ring thrilled about your date and your new dress.
in another dimension, we talk all the time unaware of our individual selfishness.
In another dimension, you grew from being your daddies spoiled princess.
In another dimension, I didn't grow hard and distant.
In another dimension, you didn't put your drugs above your friends.
In another dimension, I didn't put my pride above your cry for help.
In another dimension, I tell you it's okay, I'm not mad, I don't hate you.
In another dimension, you don't tell me I'm slut.
In another dimension, we never grew apart, we never had that fight.
In another dimension, we're still best friends forever.

Dark Ages (Faith is a weapon and corrupt men trigger)


We can’t fail to see the bloody history.
We can’t feel the dead but we can see them plea.

Those all innocent women burned as the witches.
Lips which uttered truth were closed with stitches.

Thrown to the gallows were all men of reason.
Those who stood for weak hanged for the treason.

With all drinking and bragging of their flawless scripture
They always failed to see the ever changing picture

Faith as a weapon with corrupt men as trigger
Then plight of the ruled is not hard to figure

Ruled with the terror and ignorance stark
The sun was as bright but the days were dark

Who is to suffer and who always suffers?
The weak and the poor, the helpless and beggars

In the times we live the gallows remained.
The liberty of reason haven’t been attained

The threat to our lives is still much bigger
Coz faith is a weapon and corrupt men trigger.

Dreams Coming True

We've arrived,
The Red Planet lies before us.
Twin suns dance around the planet,
Hand in hand,
Love in love,
We waltz to the Huhu-bird's song.
The Tringums run, whilst we sleep,
Through the burning bushes.

Diedec and Nindec set,
And our time here is up,
Back to our Trome;
Back to our Home.
