Time and Space
Across the open void
Our mixed emotions battle
The space between us grows smaller
Love and devotion craft their spells
The devil makes his plans of despair
To crush and devour
Holding on to our thoughts
As our hands touch
Feeling the warmth within
Taking a firm grip
Our words whispering
Of better times
Are we false in our endevours
The fear of spinning away
Lingers like a death shroud over us
Whats possible
Seems impossible to achieve
The void feels crushing
The time ticks by endlessly
Keep the faith...

These Days
I'm not pathetic
I'm never lonely
The regard for the truth
Wears tiresome
Its a weight I dont need
Its understandable
Why you choose the wayward truth
Dont pull my strings no more please
I have no anger in my soul
But you're anger is beyond fierce
I dont think I would break through this
I've not the strengh in my heart
To mend yours
You need to be at peace with where you are
Find peace
My train awaits
See you in another time
In my mailings I ment every word
Be at peace with this knowledge
I'm never lonely
The regard for the truth
Wears tiresome
Its a weight I dont need
Its understandable
Why you choose the wayward truth
Dont pull my strings no more please
I have no anger in my soul
But you're anger is beyond fierce
I dont think I would break through this
I've not the strengh in my heart
To mend yours
You need to be at peace with where you are
Find peace
My train awaits
See you in another time
In my mailings I ment every word
Be at peace with this knowledge

Seventy Nine
It came again in a flashback
washing over me as quick as it arrived it were gone again
I'd like to feel he's up there, making sure I don't forget
Little pieces he throws down, all parts of the jigsaw
You see as you get older, well, you know, It's easy to forget
The summer of 79'
My first senior school summer break
She would be there at the local outdoor pool
she?, Yeah my first of many school crushes
well, the one that got away
She stood a foot taller than most of us boys
Tall and slim, athletic and godly intelligent
God she...

Walk The Walk
What's you're walk
Slow and swaying sensually in its movement
Would you float in a dreamlike state
Or quickening in it's pace
Making up the ground, filling the space between
Would it make up the ground like you're smile
you're voice, would it be sincere in its development
whispering vocals across the airwaves
would it reach out softly grasping hold
Like lovers reaching their peak
a sonic boom to hear in approximations
Slow and swaying sensually in its movement
Would you float in a dreamlike state
Or quickening in it's pace
Making up the ground, filling the space between
Would it make up the ground like you're smile
you're voice, would it be sincere in its development
whispering vocals across the airwaves
would it reach out softly grasping hold
Like lovers reaching their peak
a sonic boom to hear in approximations

Portals
Through the portal I walked
Stepping over photo's as messages floated overhead
I had blocked his path some time before
Funny how it seems someone had done the same
It makes no odds to me
I'm no betrayer
I saw but I didn't see, I didn't see it, The bond
I'm sure there is, Just not for public show
I jumped onto yours
There was nothing I didn't already know
I'm not sure what I was looking for really
Maybe an affection, Again I didn't see it
Some people just dont I guess in photo's
I saw something wonderful
I saw something beautiful
If...

Sky Write
sky write it across the sky
billboard it at every crossing
On the front page including the sports section and page three
advertise it on the television
radio
loudspeaker
on the internet
even in poetry
fuck hire a marching band
tap my head, ''hey you in there! ''get with the picture''!
I do see the whole picture
Sometimes I dont show that I do
To the point of it clouding my judgement
and taking a left when i should take a right
I understand the reasons clearly
Just from time to time
Take my hand
And tap my head ''hey...

Paws For Thought
I wish i could speak with my cats and for them to understand me
I'd tell them not to kill other creatures but if they felt the need to kill
Then to do it quickly and not torture them first
And to put the remains in the bin!
I really don't want to wake up anymore with the dead on my patio
Or worse my kitchen floor or bed!
I'd rather not say Oh for me! that's very kind I'll eat it later
While picking the lifeless corpse up by foot or tail or entrails depending what's left! and placing in the bin
I'd tell the two toms to play nice...
I'd tell them not to kill other creatures but if they felt the need to kill

Life
Swimming in pools of liquid creation
Harmony resonating above sound frequencies
as yet unchallenged by caring whispers
Basking in the warmth of our beginnings
as we swim towards the light of fireflies
night time passionate attractions
Shooting wishes shouted out loud
as stars pass in the silent void
Travelling beyond realms
of our comprehension and understanding
created for our continued existence
To capture and keep for all eternity
in our liquid harmony
we have created here on earth
For the lucky few
Harmony resonating above sound frequencies
as yet unchallenged by caring whispers
Basking in the warmth of our beginnings
as we swim towards the light of fireflies
night time passionate attractions
Shooting wishes shouted out loud
as stars pass in the silent void
Travelling beyond realms
of our comprehension and understanding
created for our continued existence
To capture and keep for all eternity
in our liquid harmony
we have created here on earth
For the lucky few

Strangers
I saw you looking beyond my tight lines
Within your sordid mind I was dragged through
Stripped bare for eyes to feast upon
A queen awaiting her kings next move
A whore awaiting her client
A virgin awaiting to be deflowered
All these things Are my gifts for you to open
If you were only to ask
As we make eye contact
And pass each other by....
Within your sordid mind I was dragged through

A virgin awaiting to be deflowered

As we make eye contact

FEAR
Be still my beating heart
For I fear it will race away
If i do not tell it so
Calm the waters my soul to travel
For I fear the raging seas of despair
If i do not
Be at peace my mind to discover
For I fear lost upon the battlefield
If I do not
For I fear it will race away
If i do not tell it so
Calm the waters my soul to travel
For I fear the raging seas of despair
If i do not
Be at peace my mind to discover
For I fear lost upon the battlefield
If I do not

The Feast
Lay me down
My table awaits
Fueled desires
Feasting eyes
Grasping hands
Clutching straws
Begging mercy
Guilty pleasures
Laugh in judgement
Crimes of passion
A willing victim
Take my life
Send me down
Your basement
Depravity
Your playpen
Lust
I wont go quite
My screams echo
Silenced
Flames
Smothered
In ardent kisses
As we ride out the storm
Soaked in sweat
heat of the moment
Reaching a crescendo
Soft whispers of devotion
To quell the storm...
My table awaits

Ashes (Part 2)
I remember the day she told me
It's not something I'd want to forget
A phone call out of the blue
I'd like to say I was epecting it, But no I wasn't
We severed any connection we may have had along time in the past
I don't recall dates or times all to well
It's for the best we said, yeah, I remember for the best
Remembering my own name is a game in itself
Well that's the last of them driving away
Best I get up now or be stuck sitting for eternity
Come on
This one thing
You have to say goodbye ...
