the rain's hitting the window
the fireplace billows
all you hear is a drip and a drop
a click and a clang
as it runs down the drain
the spider is weaving her web
the web that will hold
all your thoughts, keeps you cold
stay here to see how it ends
they crawl up the gutter
fall into summer
when will we know what to send
she catches her dinner
it lasts through the winter
the rest is remaining unsaid
the blue of my absence
the black of this abscess
filled with the frightening sense of the light
press into me softly
follow me swiftly
until the center flows into the dark of the night
I have not a plan
no back up
no Stan
not a saying to say
how I'll run far away
from these worries and fears
'til the next light of day
not a doubt in my mind
this is not the right time
for this change in my life
without plenty of strife
I'll move by the by
accepting the tides
and I'll soon come to find
you further into my mind
the mountains are dancing
their souls and their spines
bending the branches, twigs and their pines
finding their way to the starry dark sky
the sun lights the way
'til the day turns to night
fall on me slowly
coldly
and kind
you cover the surface
of my heart
and my mind
stay with me til morning,
the sun may not rise
to melt off the scars
you've left me to find
follow me darling,
comparing our scarring,
in the darkening folds of the light
my eyelids are falling,
filling and fusing,
beginning to embrace the night
my oh my,
how that sun is tiring
how it cracks through the sky
how the light is firing
bathe our bodies in the warmth
the rays break upon our core
we always ask for more
but the hills begin to warn
to shade our eyes
to rest our minds
and trust it will still rise.
I am expansive. Much like the oceans eating deserts, not the other way around. I am a stream of thought. I am incoherent yet understood. I am everything but lost. Find me in the sky. Find me in the ground. Wound around the roots anchored down, where the light fails to reach. I am in the sun you greet. I can be in everything you see, just as you are everything to me.
transmit me from here to there
let me see your hopes and fears
burning away in the coming years
I know you're around me
we've just got to see
how long I can wait beneath the trembling trees
when will I know you
I need to see how it ends
the vision's still blurry, a fog on the lens
there's always an 'or something.'
a way to avoid expressing what you want,
an escape at the end of your stagnating thoughts.
a break in the line, the passing of time
until you know what to say again.
darkened stained bridges
hanging across the ridges
of what we weren't supposed to find
it could just be inside your opening mind
maybe hidden behind the maddening eyes
of those who've been trying to hide.
find me where you've looked before,
curving round the corner for more.
look behind the hidden skies,
the clouds will hide what you have to shine.
look out below the snow and the show,
the curtain is blocking the wind
stay outside the ring as the marauder sings,
stay here to see who will win
my legs are like bricks
glued together sticks
with elephant ears to boot
I still forget
that my mind hasn't left
the zoo or inside of this room
swallow the sun
before you look at the one
who will take your words away
that way you'll still shine
line after line
through all the glances you'll stay
what have i done in my life yet today?
nothing worth remembering she thought,
as her thoughts went astray
reminisced of old friends,
of lost wishes and loves
the feeling she’d find running loose in her mind
she saw those surrounding
their pain and their hope
with the love that they had at the end of their rope
is it all over now?
she’d ask herself more
to find empty replies, still yearning for more
You came to me so quickly,
a quick reminder of myself
Your soul stole away my smile
after being near me just a while.
Time will pass and moons will rise,
you'll move closer toward your fire
I'll stay up high,
finding more time to fill with yearning and desire.
If we'll meet again and reconnect,
form together growing greater
I'll think of the time your eyes met mine,
and I remembered my true nature.
softened edges
broken bridges
rising tides and stained impressions
why is it so far to go
home to the arms of the places I know?
the hills that I've climbed
the valleys so low
the familiar signs
in the lights turned down low
here the sun hides
in the mountains at night
I just miss the light
in the break of the tides
