Nothing New Under The Sun
IMPETUS: while the sun sleeps
It is when spirit has released its circle
into a sea of impetus.
the will of force, to start and end
a journey past, and then begin again.
Traditional spells aside,
with much to abort and to abide.
Assuage widow moon's bridge-keeper
with bribes of all you promise.
Lest you wade the murky depths
in the guise of moon's faux reflection.
Avoiding consumption, traversing
the maze of surface fires
that block the way with flotillas
of man-o-war jellyfish,
their tentacles rife with voltage
to your slithering canopy.
From the mantle of your blindness,
you sense, amid the current
a jagged danger on the far side,
brittle struts from bone of baleen
threaten sabotage to the integrity
of your shape-shifting escape.
Little-known the consequences:
no Book of Shadows to guide,
nor the written divination of runes,
nor reed scriptures from the Underworld.
The encryption simply reads that
there is nothing more, once it is begun.

Again
its sunny today
the wind blows
from the ocean
salt in the air
I think of you
where you are
laughing mockingly maybe
at my pathetic self
So what else is new
litters and bitters
cuts and scabs
thoughts and hopes...
nothing new...
nothing at all
I still miss you.

The sun is just a star
And there are many like ours very far
Into the black, unknowing space
Beyond the speed of human race
So even though our bible claims
The sun is done; creating sames
Of everything below it's gaze
I know above it things will change
And there are many like ours very far

Drop and down
You press the sun and a drop and down menu appears in black.
You can choose between
Light
Dark
But there is no option for you to have a transparent heart.
You press the moon and a drop and down menu appears in white.
You can choose between
Tear
Laugh
But there is no option for you to have a transparent mind.
You press the verb “live” under the sky and a drop and down menu appears in bed.
You can choose between
You did
You did not
But there is no option for you to have a transparent life.

we see
what we want
or imagine things
the way we think
they ought to be
all the while
there's a whole world
we're blind to
because, we think
we're above it

Wrenched from the fate which you have forged
You stopped drowning your sorrows and summoned a son
Somehow you were conquered
But you still didn’t run
You became the new king
Then camethe revolution
It’s now or nothing
I’m sailing your sinking ship but with my sight I see salvation
There’s no method to rewriting history
Time to portray the future
In this life story
Only I can be the author
Your curse of poison
Has become my incentive
It’s my medication
Watch!I’ll be more than a mere representative
Life is very easy.Or is it?
But whatever happens,
I know I will be ready for honour’s next visit
Wrenched from the fate which you have forged
You stopped drowning your sorrows and summoned a son

There’s no method to rewriting history
Time to portray the future
