To the being - lost with love.
Bring him some - a healthy dove.
The aching time - I'm lost too.
The arching rhymes - the hopeful few.
Where's my love? Is she born?
I'll crawl through the creek and storm.
To make a wish - rushed but true.
Lead us towards something new.

We'll make a change.
I'm gonna pack up a case, and never return.
Throw my money at the walls-
in hope of some change.
I'll hang up picture with a frame-
to hold us in place.
A dedication to cause.

Who places this unholy just?
In jest, we all fall prey-
to the cruel being of time.
But there's a small chance-
that she'll hold you close.
Wrap you in her arms-
to turn reality warm.

The streams on your cheeks-
will run dry as clean towel.
The tenseness will fall from your bones-
like a well smoked rib.
We'll let time make the call.
And hope that she treats us well.
We leave our throats in her hands.

With fists full of wheat pipes
we jump on a whim.
We'll shower the gardens with
gallons of sins.
We wear a posthuman poison
like a three-piece suite.
The love of this generation
is an empty truth.

Everything was dark
in our house
but our home was safe and sound
and we were laughing
like Gods had nothing on us
and life was fulfilling for us
and the night would go on
for hours on end
without us felling tired
and our wishes had been granted

I'm crackling with energy,
Shining with power,
It's my hour,
To be extraordinary.

near the water, 'n verdant rushes,
on a summer evening late,
hiding 'neath the dog-rose bushes
where pond-skaters feed and mate,
on the slithery grassy *****
above the bank of sand
there I saw Joy and Hope
sitting hand in hand

ere the golden crimson sun
had disappeared 'neath the waters
ere the twilight had begun
ere daylight sought its quarters
I heard the sound of echo'd laughter
as ripples in the water
as a melody from hereafter
sound of Joy and Hope that sought her

gone were the works of man,
steel and concrete temple,
gone were the ordered plans
of buildings regimental,
gone were the pinks and greys
of black 'n urban roadways,
all i saw was light of day
aflame with gold, salmon sun-ray
