Lifetimes later...
Lifetimes later...
I am stuck in time on my knees
On the carpet of the living room floor
Just begging,
Crying for someone to love me
To feed me safety
And trust me.
Just for someone to see me
The way I was meant to be seen
Like the stars,
But more like the galaxy,
Or the Earth, the sea.
The ending and beginning of creation.
The infinite Universe.
The Universe just begging you to stay.
The Universe is not sure anymore...
Who it is
Searching life after life
For it ...
I am stuck in time on my knees
On the carpet of the living room floor
Just begging,
Crying for someone to love me
To feed me safety
And trust me.
Just for someone to see me
The way I was meant to be seen
Like the stars,
But more like the galaxy,
Or the Earth, the sea.
The ending and beginning of creation.
The infinite Universe.
The Universe just begging you to stay.
The Universe is not sure anymore...
Who it is
Searching life after life
For it ...

Beyond Time
Turn depression into disappointment
From Spark to FIRE
without bounds,
The smoke billows out towards you
until
you cannot see, cannot breathe
(Freeze, Fly, Disease)
Learn to build a ring around this fire
turn towards your disappointment then
to the soft belly of despair
to Feel lost Dreams
Dreams are all you've dealt in.
Afraid and powerless, missing your breath
from grasping sorrowful goodbyes
disconnect futures from
some other life
call yourself home again
zip into Beyond Time ...
From Spark to FIRE
without bounds,
The smoke billows out towards you
until
you cannot see, cannot breathe
(Freeze, Fly, Disease)
Learn to build a ring around this fire
turn towards your disappointment then
to the soft belly of despair
to Feel lost Dreams
Dreams are all you've dealt in.
Afraid and powerless, missing your breath
from grasping sorrowful goodbyes
disconnect futures from
some other life
call yourself home again
zip into Beyond Time ...

And you dont even know you hurt me...
A photograph, a cigarette
A goodnight kiss pushed upon her lips
A too far, too late, along the way
A dragonfly, a secret, a lie
A laid up, an injury, a witness wanting
A supplement, a stunner humming
A wake up, a wonder, a why
A frozen expression in his eyes
An echo, a sigh, a silent scream in the night
Hold me, hold me tight
I dont feel, I dont feel alright.
Could never get the words right
Could never express desire
Could only ever, just let things happen
My...

Money is boring af
Money won’t keep me quiet
I’m already quiet
I’m not going on and on
About what’s wrong
But instead all that is right
The silence of my dark night
In the morning
Joy will come over
And talk men over coffee
And talk over me
But I am relatively quiet
And the money can’t marry me
Silent like a business card
In a wallet
I’m unchecked, I’m bouncing
My eyes are not silent but burning
Behind my smile my teeth fall out slowly
No One is noticing
That nothing feels right
That nothing...
I’m already quiet
I’m not going on and on
About what’s wrong
But instead all that is right
The silence of my dark night
In the morning
Joy will come over
And talk men over coffee
And talk over me
But I am relatively quiet
And the money can’t marry me
Silent like a business card
In a wallet
I’m unchecked, I’m bouncing
My eyes are not silent but burning
Behind my smile my teeth fall out slowly
No One is noticing
That nothing feels right
That nothing...

Shadows and sorrow and whatnots
Shadows still
In the corners of my eyes
Make tears
I did all I could
To deny
They’re warm there
I can feel the contrast
Of their heat
On the cold of my cheeks
Crimson peaks see
The sun as it comes
Rising up over blue and green
Mountain tops
Suffering there
Stillness there
The shadows there
Blew the wind through my arms
Took the harm from my hands
Stole sorrow from my heart
Painted me into dawn
In the corners of my eyes
Make tears
I did all I could
To deny
They’re warm there
I can feel the contrast
Of their heat
On the cold of my cheeks
Crimson peaks see
The sun as it comes
Rising up over blue and green
Mountain tops
Suffering there
Stillness there
The shadows there
Blew the wind through my arms
Took the harm from my hands
Stole sorrow from my heart
Painted me into dawn

Life lines
Follow down to the beach
The floaters rising from the sea
Running around in crappy denim
Steam rising from rock jaws
Salt sprays wet and all
I can feel are the waves moving
In rhythms of unstoppable soothing
Watching thousands of formless spines
Spin out into endless radiant lines
Planets to pebbles
Ashes to metal
Bones caught in fossils
Broken but still stowed
Bottled and ready to explode
Locking arms on the way home
Licking the surface of
Whatever comes
Whatever goes
Change is all we know
The floaters rising from the sea
Running around in crappy denim
Steam rising from rock jaws
Salt sprays wet and all
I can feel are the waves moving
In rhythms of unstoppable soothing
Watching thousands of formless spines
Spin out into endless radiant lines
Planets to pebbles
Ashes to metal
Bones caught in fossils
Broken but still stowed
Bottled and ready to explode
Locking arms on the way home
Licking the surface of
Whatever comes
Whatever goes
Change is all we know

the west coast
the orange blossom sunsets
of the west coast are burning
also, my body is on fire
you can see it light the hills red
eating the acres alive
ripping away the blackness from the night sky
the smoke is so bright
oh, and I’m in love
there’s simply going to be
nowhere left to run.

All A Dream
you don't know a damn thing
and neither do I
but you're gonna feel
my love on your life
my mind is the knife
and I’m dreaming, so I get to decide
if this is all a dream
I’m going to use my imagination
make believing creation
the meaning of being in it
even if the meaning sits alone & meaningless
rejoice to the soul
rejoice to not know
existential super connected any n everything-
still some microscopic nothing of a human being
If I’m dreaming
I’m going to do as I’d like to ...

gravity always wins
I'm a hunk of concrete sinking into the mud of deceit.
would you save my seat
at the table of belief?
I don't have any preferences
I don't care what I eat.

turns myself on.
I've been riding on the run
crying to the unlucky sun
all my secrets of power in a locket
filling my pockets
full of stars red hot, & fistfuls
of clenched thorns and bristles
knives in (my heart's) a microwave
golden old olden days
thinkin' I have changed my ways
I am not but just more of the same
instantly reflecting the pain
looking for cover from blinding
rays of silent screaming
the grace of terror and beauty in alchemy
blinky doe eyes, alit in the forest of unity
called to the middle of duality
I am too...

My eyes are heavy
My eyes are heavy and full of pain
The sleep I desire is just beyond this day
My head is pounding, awaiting
The final kiss
Of tender release
From this endless emptiness
The thoughts in my mind feel meaningless
My heart seems set apart from the Divine
Perception is a dream, a lie
Relief is when I no longer struggle to meet my needs
As everything is exactly as it should be
If I do not perceive anything, there is only unity
It cannot be wrong or right
It is not dark or light
Good or bad,...
The sleep I desire is just beyond this day
My head is pounding, awaiting
The final kiss
Of tender release

The thoughts in my mind feel meaningless

As everything is exactly as it should be
If I do not perceive anything, there is only unity
It cannot be wrong or right
It is not dark or light
Good or bad,...

the cusp
Your moon is on the cusp
of Cancer and Leo
I know little but trust
not to trust my ego
for she is telling me i must
try not to be such a little weirdo
dancing a fire lit lush
rising in libido
I wanna touch
the peaks of my own freedom
glimpse the electric hush
of forgotten power unhidden
of Cancer and Leo
I know little but trust
not to trust my ego
for she is telling me i must
try not to be such a little weirdo
dancing a fire lit lush
rising in libido
I wanna touch
the peaks of my own freedom
glimpse the electric hush
of forgotten power unhidden
