'Sand, barefoot, shoreline'

When you're naked and covered in sand
being barefoot hardly matters anymore
I'm not sure how I got here
and where I left my clothing
but the shoreline is only a sigh away
soothing waves cautiously licking
bare toes now and again
never mind the stickiness in my hair
I'll pretend I don't know what it is
but my splitting headache gives it away
Oh well, this isn't the first time
I've sleep walked along the beach
searching for the moon and coming up empty


'Affray, circumstance, beguile'

It is little circumstance that I am here now
listening to the affray and biting my tongue
silence is golden, but precious metals
never really held my interest
it was the diamonds in the sky that beguiled me
making me feel as though I could float up
and take one, small and glittering
in the palm of my hand
what I would give now to be up there with my stars
looking down on this fight
having found it muted and distant
as the stars I covet so dear


'Fervor, tones, glisten'

A tremble runs throughout
my electrical frame
Hit me like a lightening strike
and caused my skin to glisten
in a sheen of ardour
reflected by a current of dazzling bursts
Pure energy and crackling heat
tones and colors collide
in a dazzling firework display
my retinas searing
as I am left shocked
my body alive with fervor
