No one said It would be easy A reckless hostage Of space and time Roll ahead Burning bridges Set to moving Amidst the line And I don't Regret the chance When the dream Became capsized And I A reckless hostage Of both Space and time Errantly ahead Burning bridges Dipping and bathing Amidst the line

All About
I know you have a dark side Although you hide it well Life as tectonic plates You choose your show and tell I know you have a dark side I know your heart means well Concepts and beliefs Removed experience All things are functions of consciousness I know you have a dark side The way out is through Integrate dualistic self Taste the answers you seek

All Kinds
Framed from the void Her legs whisper through shadows Making me feel That nothing else matters The man in me can't wait but to call- All that was then I'll believe it again- So soon love to fall I'd love to believe You'd never deceive Letting it down The walls that surround She crawls in her skin Inviting me in- Even though I know It's desert my friend- I still want to go I'd blind myself so Torture so sweet Begs at my feet While I just grin

Torture So Sweet
Take me out to the ballgame Take me to be all I can You can't find such a jolly group Of secret malevolent madmen So it's bombs, guns, tanks For the home-team If there's no one left, what a shame Cause it's money, lives and victory In the Old Ballgame

The Old Ballgame
Grand mamma always told me Hold your head up proud And never accept to blend in with the crowd- Kinna strange the way I'm parting rivers right now And how if sitting silent I'm truly speaking out loud Long ago and swiftly Juggling dozens of eggs Though trying not to split 'em I tripped up on some pegs The yoke leaked out Mixed with the blood From my head I didn't whimper yet I knew My beauty was dead- But that's how it grows All you Elaine's and Ed's Through brazen heat And tempest sleet Chewing on led While inspires cry And empires fry That sandstone shifts And driftwood drifts Alone I merrily roam With my for sure's and if's Never dissuading The hemispheres Of my bliss

Oesterreicher's *****
I've given birth to many things Cloudy nights, slanted rays Set ways, uneven days- Wet it, let it Permeate its hues- Like rock 'n' roll from the womb of the blues I got a whiskey-drinkin' woman She waits for me around the bend Starts harvesting the plants Now, whenever I drop in We both play mute, 'cause we know Where glowing fingers of the fire play blown wood, like a piano I've given birth to birds and snails Solar systems that have failed Let it pour, let it roar and pay its dues Like rock 'n' roll from the fertile womb of the blues

Fail to Sail
Control Like love Is indifferent To race, color or age I see upright monkeys With honed, lunatic, pestilent Expressions Around endless corners living out- and hosing down somberly- Frequency dreams Battery life sputter drains that whip with sardonic torment- Beat with blood-bathed smiles Laughing to slow vertiginous rhythm in captivating faces Take, take, take- To receive such an empty promise And I've lost interest in this silent war We've constructed so dizzily

Batteries and Careers
To see the abnormal in the usual To spy a quaint sliver of seperation A stutter of fluidity; fluidity primary The unknown subjection personified These idealistic constructions forever permeating Where currents join in twitching pools, swaying to let their particles cloister and vibrate with infusing spasms that dispel and attract- Creating the magnetism of substance Blank resound bliss Drunk on a thousand drops Vindicated from a thousand poisons Reborn at grid dot Flowing invoice implode All afterward foreshadowing Being this precursor Not an equation to be witnessed with the surgical pangs of intellect Arbitrary Problematic Instigative None of this Something ness Of the womb sea Blank resound bliss without tributaries though sensing its leaks After Big Bang of suitor system silt Wanton to multiply Rabid and violent In conquest of joy and earth What I bring to light My depths are dark Empty is the surface Empty is my sleep

Instinct Wisdom
In the dawning Of the morning All is well And the pieces Of the night have all but fell While the sea gulls Pick the oceans' Shorelines clean I rise From a dream To a dream (Chorus) Is that a wave Or a thought Is that a universe Or a shell What you have bought You shall sell And all I see Has an abstraction It seems So I rise From a dream To a dream With the death Of the day Sprouts the evening While the clouds Flash and spume I whisper of my love And my hating So I seek the caress of the womb Is that a wave Or a thought Is that a universe Or a shell What you've bought Don't think you won't sell All I see Has an abstraction It seems So I rise From a dream To a dream So I rise From a dream To a dream

Dream to Dream
I Am- I am- A jigsaw puzzle Laid out before     who? A drink of water Shhhhh!!!! Watch me Reassemble my selves The contradictions The contrasts I am here- I am there- I am nothing- So very empty and alive- I am a tree Perfect and formless symmetry- Growing in every direction- Yes I am- YES YOU ARE-
