Carved lines
Frozen echoes of time
Disavow
Past and present
Faith and wonder
Here and now.
Endless rhymes
Frozen echoes of shine
Enthrall
Pure and repulsive
Kind and callous
None or all.
Hollow lives
Frozen echoes of the sublime
Wreathe
Darkness and light
Beauty and foulness
Above and beneath
Where discordant nature guides.

A hand proffered in numbers and lines
Awaiting in constructed utopias to mine
To dance along the pathways of another’s mind
As music plays the distant echo of fines
All classes inside the ballroom mill
Like moths to bright fire
Sharing in common desires
Trust in power to their fill
In decisions to face
Inconsequential imperfections to embrace
Stepping stones either lead
Up to victory or down defeat
Building faith in partners and creed
To stumble along paths littered with greed
An adventure on loan, safely at home
To fulfill a yearning for something unknown

Innocuous crime
Spare some time
To decode the faults of mind
Set in parchment and ink
Fallen to dust in the wind
Behind lost eyes in a wink
Caught in tradition’s mire
To seek the burns of novelty’s fires
As being turns to dust
Glorious shine is effaced in the rust
Of changes gone by
Still no right answer nigh
Dogmas eclipse
Chains rattle and drift
All directions under the sun
A compass superior to none
Are perceptions unique or uniform
To culture borne?
Or are answers forever amiss
A world built in chaotic bliss

Listen to the wind
As it howls and echoes
Promises broken
Vows to be upheld
Even in the storm
I still call upon lightning
To illuminate the pains and truths
Diatribes and faint regale
As rain cleanses away
The ashes of fires
Still dancing across my skin
Now free of marks
Carved by forgotten sins
Where present meets past
Is where silence refrains
Speak up, held high
On this pedestal of dust
Where I lay claim to
Success and failure
Joy and misery
Abundance and emptiness
The soil upon which
I plan to grow
Is nowhere and everywhere
Forged in depths all my own.

Gotta wake up from the dream
Gotta concede
No more words to scream
Inside an empty mind
Watching the pieces float away
So far on the streams
Where memories should be cast
But ripples still soak the seams
Wrote it all down in fire
Wish I could call myself a liar
Spread the ashes
Tried to put everything out
With big splashes
Purge the desire
There's nothing more I require
Than silence, an old friend
And the strength to pretend

Stuck in arbitration
Can we ever get past the miscommunication
Your armor so thick
It's like throwing a glass heart against brick
Staring into the clear
Where tears buoy what was held dear
It's just that time
Another happiness to mime
Our moments right now
Vanish into thick clouds
Of uncertainty and doubts
Why is the season always drought?
