I awake
Still in a daze from yesterdays
Hazy plays
Turning to find
The clock reads "plenty of time"
Nothing but the whisper
Of your breath
The rise and fall
Of your chest
Nonsense words and laughter
Rolling between
Your secret dreams
I wonder if they concern me?
You've stolen all the blanket
And left me shivering
But somehow I feel warmer
Than I've been since I was young
Asleep again
Seems like a repeated reverie
Still can't get lucid yet
I wonder if she's here with me?
Wandering this surreal reality
.......
I awake
The daze makes way
For the anxieties of day
But I don't worry much
When you're close
Enough to touch
The clock reads "go back to sleep"
But I'm fine to pass the time
With you here all night
Tangled up in sheets
Darling, you're just too sweet
And I'm having trouble
Ever wanting to sleep again
Goodnight, I hope you're here
When morning comes.

Some people want to be remembered
Others would rather forget
Some seek a misplaced grace
Still more drown in regret
But we're all smaller than something
Together, greater than anything
Alone, reduced to nothing
A single invisible suffering
Half-life static decay
Mental chemical waste
Earth bound grounded plague
Over-stimulated daze
Broken bottle haze
Acid rainy days
Tragic little plays
****** ******* maze
Everything's trivial
In the literal sense
That answers don't make a difference
And facts won't bring deliverance
Your life is a misprint.
So just keep crawling down the road
And see just where it goes
No one knows.

True decadence envelops me
(No) Need to breathe
Floating on pillow seas
(No) Need to dream
Searchlights flash on, scanning
For the evidence
That this is real
Thoughts all scattered, brain
Tangled in labyrinths
This I feel
Swept away from the sands
Of experience, into new bliss
Falling down from the tower
I have built, just to start again
On something more beautiful
Grandiose gleaming heart
We create our own constellations
Spirits drawn into the clouds
Bodies burst from the pressure
Gravity pulls the particles
Stardust becomes marvelous
All is filled with light
The heavens birth delight

The sound of the tentacles
Wrapped tight around my head
Fails to drown out the drone
Of the future, dead
Elating the meantime
The question ignored again
Does anyone know where
They really begin?
An answer won't conjure itself
A seed can't remember its fall
Every labyrinth distraction
A lost cause.
Hands that quiver and shake
Quickly in the dark
Grasping for poison
Among the shadows of the stars
Maybe the trick lies in
Lying to yourself
Like a snake who bites onto his tail
Swallowing all of its selves
Forming a circle from a line
Endlessly eating in ignorance
Till there's nothing left at all
No instincts to fail
The outside observer
Never makes the distinction
Between circles and lines
They grin and think
"At least it's not my life
I'll be just fine."
And on trudges the line
On goes the time.
