Poet Introduction
Nothing is very much real anymore, I feel.. lost as an ancient art, high as a rainbow arc, free as a falling dark star..
Go dreaming
As life flies by I spread my minds eye
over smokestacks and street cracks.
Within the gloom
where alienated monkeys
work in industrial isolation
invoking irritability
till we come to see
this isn't where we want to be.
Go dreaming my boy!
We headed out in the spring
with a box full of hope for anything.
Hope for peace
and for new beginnings that never end.
We blew through the breeze
and we followed the fireflies
through the fanciful forest.

The remains of my fear
I just wandered through the abyss,
my tail stuck between my legs,
and she smiled as she picked up my spirit.
And her bright eyes showed me how to
flow free.
As she carried the remains,
of my fear to the furnace.
And as I opened my minds eye
after all the madness had passed,
she said, "come on over close you silly soul before you trip back into hell
We were only dreaming."
Ha.
"Lets leave behind the human realm
lets leave it all it would be serene in the wilderness.
Wouldn't it...

Waiting to change?
Ooooohh you cannot see me now.
Ooooohh no matter how you try.
Hello lost love, I'm here now
Come on by.
Resting in the chasm, here beyond the abyss.
Waiting for the world to change.
In blissful solitude, here outside the veil.
Waiting for the world to change.
Waiting to shut out the sickos,
waiting to clean up the cities.
Waiting to change the world.
Waiting to put out the fires.
Waiting to snuff out the shooters.
Waiting to shoot down their silence
and smash down the screams.
Waiting for the new...

Dream till death
Dream, Dream, Dream, Dream, Dream,
Dream, Dream, Dream
You better make yourself up in your daily disguise.
With your phone in hand and desperate look in your eyes.
With your hopeless thoughts
and your lifeless laugh,
see the shit rising fast from your secret past.
With your dreams downgrading,
as the dread keeps invading
and the meds keep sedating
all the pain you always feel
you better dream.
Dream, Dream, Dream, Dream, Dream
You better
dream all day
and pray all night. ...

The realness/ in the air?
There must be some mistake,
I didn't mean to take a chance to fake the smile, its been awhile, am I to late?
Ooooh love, ooooh love
Where has the realness gone?
Will we still sing the songs?
"The show must go on."
-
So you
thought you
might like to
head for the astrals?
To feel the warm embrace of nirvana,
that eternal source of love.
I've got some strange scenes for you softy,
love isn't light in the emptiness of night.
They've strung us along
as puppets on strings,

Gaia / unmistakably one
Does anybody here remember planet earth?
Remember how we said that
we would change the world
some sunny day?
Gaia! Gaia!
What have we done to you?
Does anybody else here
feel the way I do?
-
Gaia?
Are you still with us?
Just breathe if you can hear me,
are you gonna make it through?
Come on, mother
I see your feeling smothered.
We can change our ways,
and defeat this ego craze.
Forgive us,
we know not what we're doing still.

Nobody's dead
I've got a cheap little book with my visions in it.
Got a pen and a speaker and a bong near it.
When I can dive deep I sometimes bring out a message.
I've got cannabis keeping my eyes red, got these
aching body blues,
got infinite amounts of shit
to choose from on t.v.
I've got electric eyes,
I can see past the skies
and beyond the limits of comprehension and that is how I know,
when I try to break through
to the other side with you,
we'll see nobody's dead.
I've got the inevitable
hormone havoc

Oooohhhh love
Ohh love,
you're out there all alone,
just a stranger on your own
can you hear me?
Ohh love,
you're crawling through the cracks
doing anything to get fat stacks,
Did you hear me?
Hey love,
don't purposely plan your own death,
don't give up
on your only breath.
Ohh love,
you're out there all confused,
feeling beaten and abused
are you living?
Hey love,
with your heart about to burst,
waiting for someone to reach out
can you feel me?
Ohhh love,
would you care to

Spirits under the sun pt3./ hello lost love
I don't need no false connections.
And I don't need any
misconceptions.
I can see,
only through
being marooned,
don't think an ending's coming soon.
No!
Don't think any ending's coming soon.
One by one, we're still souls under the sun.
One by one, still spirits beneath the sun.

Hello lost love,
I'm ready to explore.
Hello,
hello,

Hello, old friend.
There's nothing you can say
to make me disappear.

Between the beats
Day after day,
love fades away
like the moments that don't seem to last.
Night after night,
we'll just say "we're alright."
But I can't lie anymore and
you are not who you were before and
nothing is very much real anymore.
And I can sense
one of my turns coming through.
I feel
lost as an ancient art,
high as a rainbow arc,
free as a falling dark star....
Straight to the sunlight
in the chasm on the surface
you'll see the infinite glow.
Don't look so startled

Silent spaces/ lustful youth
What shall we use
to fill the silent spaces
where we would used to laugh?
How shall I save
the final traces?
How should I
open my heart?
I am just a stranger,
a loner in this herd.
Where are all the others?
Whose gonna help me spread the word?
Ooooohh, I need a lonely lover.
Ooooohh, I need a lonely girl.
Will some stranger in this wasted world,
help me let my love unfurl.
Take this
fragile spirit in your arms,
oooh love, can't resist your charms.
Ooooh, I need another loner. ...

So long new world
Did you see the tortured ones?
Did you feel the fading flames?
Do you ever wonder why we had to run
for cover when the promise of a safe, new place got misplaced and is long forgotten?
Did you see the tortured one?
did you feel the fading flames?
The wind won't seem to blow but
the smoke continues to grow.
So long, new world
So long, new world
So long
So long
