Two adults
Living across the street
From one another
Peering out windows at night
From glowing drawn blinds
Spying on each other and
Both knowing it
With smiles and wrinkled eyes
I know it
Two older bald men
Another love story that just happened
Two more people in love just like the rest
Forgetting everything they’ve been given
And everyone they’ve shared before
Letting this be the first and only
Shy as two kids could ever be
Being just two adults
Living across the street
From one another.

Tonight are we loud
We are
Gone and again
Sure as your skin is stunning
Sure as it tightly wraps up both of us
Twisting and tying knots
Around us.
Coming back to being naked as light allows
And too young to not be naked
Getting away with everything
Not quite as children
But more a child’s pet dog
In the moment of slipping out of his collar
And running free
Away towards something he only knows about
Never coming back till its found
And once it is
Love for the first time stands still
From that point on and not a second longer
Afterwords we get lost running home
Till we find home.

all the eagles in the culture
Barking like hollow wastes
In magic
In malice
In song
Oh how I’ve heard it wrong
Times before
And how I’ve never heard it right
Times not before.
In my dreams I am a king
On the tall night I’m calm
For most of the five million children
And all of the eleven parents
Taken blame for blood
And broken bells
Hidden by my quick heeded goodbye
I know you weren’t seen
But felt
Heavy eyes on you
I watched
And I thought
For all this time
That the world
Never quite fit with me
Too boxed up
And I never opened it all the way
Only peeked
Once,
Honest.

Dreamers
Crying at the window
Why cant we go out
And meet them all?
I swore I saw white horses
Standing in the rain
The day my son was born
He rode with them.
Her acting sorrows
They put her on display
She stood and watched
Her husband in the grave.
They smiled when I knew
That I would dance their moment
Of a dance then a lifetime
With the ghost heart we pound.
Silver your glory
The hair on your arms stands up
The highest ladder
A climb and mother me ending.
Palace, dear palace
Once caught fire in their room
Lovely daughters closing doors
Keyhole eyes can’t stand the heat.
They know what truth their god kept from them
And they lived with it
They died as one man who called the devil
It’s a long way to the ground if you make it.
The animals lived and died put hell in their mind
They were perfect for it too
Before they knew evil
They were just.
Rotten old place in the ground
Don’t they now I’ll dig just deeper
Where no one will find me
When they walk the rising world.

You blessed your charity of celebrities
and now anyone can be famous
and anyone can share their story born underground
under glass
and they do it with all teeth glowing
how beautiful
did you hear what they said?
Oh what magic you have in them bones indeed
And the brittle might you knuckle down your spine
In any case
You haven’t been hanging that skeleton too high
Have you?
Or when you leaned on your sharp words
Was it your blood stained breath
From the closed holes on stitched lips
They played the part
That was put right through me
When you told me I was dead.
Or maybe it was just bad fate in an old city.

The birth of what I wont give
A tragedy of likeness
And softness
With the brightest parts of the day
Left with your eyes wide open
Let me down from the path
Let me dare not stop
And harvest dropping anthems from becoming Christ
Little by and bothered
Wiley or not ready to erupt
Cannon burst of hard
Stale muscled smoke drifts
And signal no one that hasn’t sank to the bottom
Even the strongest man sank with a heart of iron
And fast too
Letting the rich man
The little snake
Charm between his life
And forever live it.
How it feels to become a pilot
Before the plane crashes down
And always you’re dancing them down
When they finally wrap themselves around you
Grabbing the first hair hanging low
Just truth that rises behind us is whole
Truth behind the eyes that never look twice
I will never be able to speak
As one at peace with the bronze statue
Of how I talk
Oh my what did I say
Did I leave the best parts out again
About how I looked back
Ridiculous
It never happened.
Taking a turn
On this feeling
This animal feeling
Covered in fur
Bleeding of instinct
Of an animals who loves his mother
A quick side
I am the last take on this disease
More of a last right they never took in
Go leave it
And never bring another letter
Just to say I’m still not coming back
You should see how everything shutters
And how everything shakes when I wake up
To the time I sleep
Loosening the life beside the cracking concrete
I’ve got a little in me
What hasn’t left me
What I’ve been selling to get me by
Sometime we forget that real people
Everyday and out
Run their lives and hearts mad
With questions of god and love
Neither of which matter
Neither of which ever existed
And if they did
If they did they would’ve stayed far away from me
Because I would’ve been running
When they came to town
I just hope my feet never break
By then my skin would change color
By then what smells like wet fur
You want to make a dollar
And you want to be free
You know nothing better happens after the sunrise
And not one person who believes in hell
Has been there.
With every set fire burning on
The truest of animals brought themselves
Before the man could send them off
To keep his kids safe and hidden
While red clouds by wind above
Are breaking upon the mountaintop of dawn
And what it brings in cold morning
In giving its charity of water
Kept our ****** hearts swelled and large
We have never been blind but we have never seen
And we haven’t had a clue of war beside us
No we turned the other way and never looked back
But I looked back farther away to see
That just out of sight sat the daughters of trial
And swift judgment is done onto the ones who stay back
Letting their feet curl under to stay warm in death
Settling the water rings on a slow ending cup
They’re ghost of satellites silvering sky
Bright on them of the day
When all of their horses are running
Dropping not so much a who was it
Or where was it
When they buried the immortal
But not a thief stealing of what never returns
What will always comes back is something never worth taking
Not love given lightly or speaking during song
Never the blind man peers but pulls and pulls
Nothing between clearly fixed is the warmth kept inside
Mothering the carelessness of not throwing out tomorrow’s fiction
Let the children know about death and why we care about it
The creator isn’t destroying himself how he said he would
How was your mother anyway, darling?
How have you been?
Where have you dug to this time?
What have you found a thousand feet below?
Thought of a symphony that never played
Bells, oh their songs bellow about the pouring rain drowning you
Should’ve been a salesman
Knowing there is no gold
So don’t go digging for it
And what’s been found
It’s been taken
Lost
Found again
And taken back
It’s always best people who never start.
Light as ever being a savage in horror
Looking on the world as a glimpse
Ever shot in justice is a false heart tearing down
I hope you’re warm tonight
I hope before the clapping that everybody stands
Before the bow the doors to an empty room close
Did you ever see something so wonderful
What’s only wonderful
Makes me wonder
What’s only beautiful
Makes me wild
What’s only sinking
Makes me swim
What’s only wrong
Makes me worse
What’s only you
Makes me mad
What’s only gone
Makes me found.
What you are
A person but more
Something to think about
Something to frame my god
What good would you be
If you weren’t wrapped in silk
If you weren’t less than a diamond is bright
Gotta get that new right feeling
Gotta fell what I felt that day
But my shoes beat my path
So there I go out again
Wiley or not
There’s a reason for this one
Where there wasn’t before, you know?
I cant wait to take the bus and notice the faces
I cant wait to destroy someone new
And I surely cant wait to be so far out of luck
That my knees split ever step towards you
I want that
I want that of what I think of
I want our names written on the wall and have someone defile it
I want the world to hate us so much
And we’ll tumble them all night
Don’t worry about me yet
You stepped right behind
What you always though better
I’m a fool I don’t mind
And maybe you’re wrong
I’m sure you’re right
But no matter its love that’s around you
Here is my wish
Be it something that’s not what everyone see
But I feel it’s best
I wanted to fly but there was no wind
So took off walking beside you
I felt a shake
I knew it when I said
that I couldn’t stand by and by
without you anymore
but if it’s death you brought so near
you never wore me out for everything you were

Nobody could sing the sweetest song
or show me the longest kiss that isn’t mine
they could even to make something so simple
and so bright
to shine like polished gold
lighting your way on the walls of midnight
to give me something that takes me away
your love
it’s that feeling which nothing could ever match
and something the most beautiful words could never tell.
My heart beats with every single step you take
so run to me
race my heart
it’s yours if you win
if you lose then I keep it
fair and square
and I’ll keep it beating
every time you come
everywhere we go
for every drop of sweat
beading down your back
and every wish you scream out loud
when you call my name
I will make even truer
all the best things just won’t matter
and we’ll have nothing on our backs
so lay me on a bed of nails
I’ll let you get on top
then let me have you just this once
and we’ll make it last throughout our bones
now just let forever be
we still have tomorrow.

I know just what you want to hear
And you think that I wont tell
The hero in your latest story was bold but not so strong
But he smiled like me when you wrote your part
I think he portrayed me well
And he saved the day at the very end
Not for himself or the magic girl
He did it just for love
So you can go on listening
It’s not hard to figure out
That if I die before we’re through
I’ll come back as a ghost just for you
From underneath your bed
And when its dark you’ll hear me sing a song you know so well
They played it on the radio
We sang it to ourselves
And hummed all night till waking bells broke my dreams of you
We can stay in bed and just pretend we’re famous for a day.

You caught me wide eyed one night
and I followed that moon all the way down
to the bottoms of your feet
and with it I ran and never wanted it to set
that clear night with the stars strings coming undone above you
and how you let them
and how I watched
till the bird sang your name and all day long
and I laid my chest onto yours and all night long.
You thought my eyes pretty for every cloud that passed the sun
With light colors of green
Grey and blue
You can see them shine in the dead of night
It’s not the sun, you know
It’s nothing I own and nothing for me
It came as life should
How I wished it would be
Neither of the faces
Of you and I
Will be made of stone
Not famous and not thought of
On our own red carpet
Pretending the crowd of lightning will find us
in tomorrows newspaper
Us
We beautiful celebrities famous for each other
Rich as kings and queens
With what notes we hide to be found
That feeling
That certainty you know
When it’s found
Whenever it’s found
It’s knowing that moment
There will be somebody so deeply in love with you
If it’s even only for a second
You will run through every nerve
And raise every hair
Dancing for me Shakespeare’s dream
When everything I could want in this world
Is right in front of me
I will only see you
And nothing else
Just simply you
Being perfectly you.

If I close my eyes long enough will you happen to me again?
Not a stranger not a villain just another note to pass on
And on and on
A thousand birds on a wire
One of which has dreams of flying and cannot do it alone
Rather he clean his feathers again and again.
Ruby they came in loving such stars
Diamonds in their mirrors of mine
And eyes
Their bright blinking eyes
Seeing everything for what it is
As it is
There are birds all on a wire
How wonderful is that?
Hear them on their talking stones
Sharing stories of love
The gentlemen and sweethearts and their weddings and their doves
They talked about their dream girl how she left and went away
In the arms of her ghost they knew they couldn’t stay
So alone
So they moved on like everyone else does
I heard them say day by day
They took a chance with a dance
They would swing and they would sway
And in the motion of their feet
They danced off with their eyes
Oh how wonderful they’ll be.
Heavy fever
yeah I’ve got it
Spilled salt
Not my fault.
Terrific winner of skin suffocation
Painted in gold on fire
What a rich man he was
They shot his money toward the sun
Twenty three dollars and sixty seven cents
Rockets are expensive.
Ladies and gentlemen
Don’t let you kids become cannibals.
I have always found this in you
Something I can’t say
It’s when you kiss me every morning
And every night of every day
From the deepest ocean
We did climb the mountain to the sun
And from up high we saw the world
Every part was right for us
I would tumble down
And break my crown
You will come tumbling after
You will come tumbling after
Hanalin the two headed ********* deer
She wants that lion to be so cruel
To twist her next and tie it in a knot
And walk up and down the world in one breath
There are no kings allowed in the garden of eden
The snagging tooth in the lions bite quickly kills snakes
Where in teeth as razor as breath
A serpents birth on vicious bone
Lives nothing more than a worm in the lions throat
Better not tickle that rough tongue.
