no title


unfurl the curls in your heart
we can talk
or if you want
we'll not
But see me again
or i'll forget
yet there's still time to invent
some trip
or a flip of the hand
to show us off the land
in the desert or on the moon
i see you

umpher

Screaming/spilling
his pain out on the
road
What a story
a curse on his glory
everything turns to shame
and he feels the
same
lies to lie
on the sea he feels
will sweep the
pain beneath him.

He dives in and swims
through vibrations
of my steel strings
hoping what he hears
is his angel that sings
and swings beneath
the storm to drag him
up to the misery so
familiar to that song
He sees his wife in the air
and looks at his life and dares
to grab the cross and smash free
from his pain
He is free to breathe his fear away
                  to cut his hair with his teeth again
back home he comes
to set his clouds to darkness
from his heart removes the softness
And saves his last breath for Revenge

My Friend

Hello?
Oh hey
you know what happens
I get lost in the silence
ya..
Your voice stops
and I drift back,
into my dreams

I've been waiting
for something, I
don't know what,
to wake me up

That question, yes,
it comes back with no
answer on the side it
slides silently sneering
to its oblivious place
of mess

It's a test
I must find my place
to play free and
enjoy my rest.

...

My Place


where do I go when
I play
where do I go when
I write
besides the realm of
Your listening

Deep in my head
way past that cloud
and the open sea
where i see you
and you see me
beyond there and
everywhere
I can see me
and be the king
I want to be, inside
my head

there beneath the
Sky
in the shadow of
The Leaves
in a
Summer Bloom
I will grow green
And fly to be seen
in my ship of steam
and light.

Away


She lives far from me
and I can't reach out
when I'm sleeping

Love is just a dream
I'm never without
when she's with me.

She lives far from me.

When I'm looking down
and whisper the words
you find yourself
away

away from me.

Living so free
with the past out
speaking happily

Sunny in the wind
Leaving her hair down
roll down the hill
The past shall not repeat.

Both

Cracks in the brain

cracks in her brain
that drain cold
in the pain of her thoughts
insane

He answers her
muffled screams,

a new realm of possibility now in sight

she closes the door
goodnight
And the night of yearning begins

Free from her colourful past
he comforts her
and guides her
And treats her crippled wings
she flies free
and speaks again

I'm sure enough,
they will meet again.

in mean


Sweet stars relaxing on my head
flying round on their nothingness
pushed by a hand
soft and powerful
real and infinite
delicate and fierce

like fiery thorns they stream away
so much space between
the essence of worlds
in shape and form
stuck in the space and time
the war of minds
that won't conform

Blind in what we see
all out of the norm

Taken by surprise
we head out of the storm

give me your crying
I can hear you sighing
please don't let us down
I still want you around

shooting fast through sounds
our voices trail off into

the one i yearn to love
with all my life
and die free in its cradle
of warm embrace

The sweetness
of her raining tears hangs
nostalgic in my twilight fears
I fear the sun is lost
in my pursuit of joy

And i sit and sigh
with my fist and hand
pounding the sky
lightning on my thigh

What is right my dear
in sight of my look
be with me in my world
and i'll carry you to the end of the book.

Her

Her words are beautiful and desperate
(portraits of a moment)
petals of a broken day

Kettle steams up the street window

Lonely child tears clean
the bitter sweetness off 'er face
and let the sun dry those fears
To cradle love in wrinkles of a pure smile,
fall asleep, drink some tea . . . ya know :
stay for a while

And the pores of her fingers were a' achin.
