"Untied"



In the heavenly starlight of rolling spheres fullness,
On top of soft hills wonder, that rests on grassy fields,
We float around the houses, in the undulating likeness
Of beings whose time has past, of roving shadows cast
In rings we join the cauldron of endless flickering prisms,
We look in through the windows, infinity is our lineaments,
With the gates of mirth before us, the gates of mirth behind us,
Futures left glad behind, we know not where to wander.

"In Mourning"


Free thee thine inanimate decline,
And make thee whole thy tortured soul,
Thy lit, unlit eyes dark as thy skies,
Turning to mold all they blindly behold

Where do I now go? cast down despot till,
These lies unbound, shut out of my mind,
Deathly trapped in ill secret falling,
Without you I doubt, will never I stand?
I muse not to forgive myself of this loss.


"The Vanishing Point"




I feel motion from without, 
The moon set in place,
The earth standing still, 
Dare I rise to meet you again, 
A change of fate,
And hold crystal these shattering eyes

I close every door and stroke the wall
Prayers for help, given  me something,
Prayers for this to end well,
But I cannot move.
I am frozen lying still before
The immortal hone of fire and steel
An unearthly tone, 
A fawning cry, 
And velvet hands all I do feel.

You are enveloped in light, 
An atmosphere deep blue
As the image passes softly through
Disaster just touching, 
A staggering animal
A vertical head, 
And I walk toward you

This could be the bludgeoning demise
This could be the end of all things
But I'll be fed to hungry dogs,
All of us thrown to the kennel's teeth,
If you aren't here, 
My love, O' my love

I have found you in dreams,
Holding tight to your hand
The sky turning green, 
The winds shifting below
This cannot he happening! 
I must never let go!

"Hunger"







I hunger of a city, 
And I thirst of an ocean
I climb to the Heavens and see your face
The secret light shines
Bright through the seams
Of landscapes now lost, 
Shown only in dreams
And there is a lie from within 
Which shall be undone
I wander deeply, 
In the light of the sun

Finding them true is forgetting all else
The impossible is seen 
I hold what cannot be held
What has hindered me, 
Now, is but dirt on to walk
But I have felt the earth move beneath my feet
And I have known nether skies, 
I shall not be far
So I wander deeply, 
In the light of the stars

"Tell Me, Lovely"


The cars won't start, 
There is no more food, 
And I hardly care
The city is quiet, 
The people glow, 
What strange clothes they wear
When did they leave their homes so safe, 
And where find this sacred light?
Tell me, Lovely, 
That I might know, 
That I too may join the night

For that which use to speak with me 
Speaks with me no more
There use to be a wall for me, 
But I cannot find the door
If relevance is to feel, 
To feel your beating heart
And freedom is to nullify 
The striving head, in part,
I am in the labyrinth, 
Neither relevant nor free
Lead me home by the hand
Sister I cannot see.
