Would the cancerous ocean accept the cure I found among the moon's demure For, beneath the depths, You'll come upon the earth And know of love, and all its breadth.

Returning Home
We were flying over Texas Rather apprehensively We dropped a few thousand feet from the turbulence. I made a few dark, although humorous, jokes to myself. Only imaginings, I thought Then suddenly The wind rushed, I felt the pressure change And then debris I rushed for a parachute I knew how to save my life And I am, now.

On why I jumped out of the airplane
The silver lining in your eye Weighed heavy And beckoned me to study in moments passing by, Swiftly passing through our days, Until we found our way. The hot springs, beneath us, Gave birth to knowledge of the sky I was lost, though, in your cinnabar eyes And withdrew every part To give it back, equally. And I demonstrated how the planets align, And you loved the motion of my hands As they described the distant you fell before Venus. She said, "take your time." But you denied If I had known those eyes would take me to hell, through quicksilver fields, to a sudden, winter season... But we moved swiftly through our days Until we found our way.

Mercury Eyes
Lights have gone out In the streets In the city of Paris; As those stars dash through space Turn your chin up See them burning bright And In the mourning As you carry the weight Of the sun Be reminded of the night

The Red, The White and the blues
The specters of the stars Illuminated by this moon tonight Were summoned to the table. The beat of distant wings sounded in my ear, "you're counsel, It is yet a dreary fable." "You scoundrel! You know nothing of whats coming! And we've been hinting in your ear 'you're failing!'"

To pick an egg from the nest
Look into the forest The avenue is littered with fear I have become a fortress To block the rains, the rage, the deer By candle light - howls in the night - I write of what these walls have shown. Accept the light - this isn't right - my emotions have all but flown I see a ram in the moon And the hermit guides me here Will I be doing something soon? My path seems pretty clear My drunk old friend, what did you say? Was it something like: roll the dice - go all the way?

The rains, the rage, and the deer
I think about how I feel How I'm always listening to my heart "Won't you pump a little faster?" I pumped And she felt it "Magic" she called it We were never on the same page. Magic comes from a wand Or from the throat. But I still can't hold a conversation I run and hide While my body stays behind Right there, In front of you Do you see me? Because I don't.

The Swan Dances and the sun shines
Of story-telling gargoyles with guns Shooting blanks under a sky with no sun But sun flowers, there happy faces stare Up, from the field. I found salvation under a tree But I swear this rain brings out the best in me From here I lit my fire Burnt the tree I'm hanging from the branches of that same tree And now I lost it The text reference from the fire breathing dragon But I did catch this: Skate across the black river press To a headline that says, "Put to Rest" Laying down in my bed I can't help thinking Maybe she is the one for me And what, really, is ****** reality?

"Yes, I feel great thanks for asking I'm dreaming again."
A tree doesn't stop growing at the roots. No It extends towards the sky Slowly towards wisdom Towards a self Lost in the wind. Going Growing Learning The highest self Highest being And the branches reach in every direction North south east west Each leaf Cool shades of green Growing Learning Knowing Shade, for sitting Come and relax Learning Knowing Teaching The roots never show ware Always holding Growing strong Digging To know.

Lifted or...
There is no story to tell for this one. Just a list of key ideas: love, lust, big changes, confusion. Remember: there are always two sides to a story; often you just don't want to go back and actually read it.
