The capo
Clamps the
Heart
Changing
Key of
Blue

The compass
Spins the
Mind
And leads
Me to
You
Austin Mosher May 2013
My shadow is
My close ally
My whisper is
My heart's outcry
Follow me
To the end
Of the night
My chariot,
My stoic ride
My dwelling place
Pools in your eyes
Follow me
To the end
Of the night
My shores arrive
At the end
Of the night
Will you be there?
Austin Mosher Apr 2013
Come join our schism
Of
Song, dance
And surrealism
Nothing rules our lives,
Though
No one
Hears all of our cries
Everything for peace
Power
Of verse
And song are the keys
Break the iron lung,
Free
Yourself
Or else you’ll be hung
We are the new youth
We
Are strong
That, THAT is the truth.
Austin Mosher Apr 2013
Rain is pouring
Duotone black and white.
Are there colors
Behind the greyscale sky?
A distant song
Rang from a blue cello
Is love hiding
‘neath the striped umbrella?
Austin Mosher Apr 2013
This hollow fortress
Stands lonely
Strong walls, foundation
Straw only

I give all to you,
Into me
Just you stick around,
And you’ll see

When I close my eyes,
Dull darkness
Illuminates blue
In sharpness

I give all for you,
Into me
Just you stick around,
And you’ll see
Into me
Austin Mosher Apr 2013
Magnolia Queen, Magnolia Queen
Launch one thousand ships
Oh, carry me back to the in-between
Magnolia Queen, Magnolia Queen

The shadows will dance, the shadows will dance
The fire burns hot
From the iron king cobra’s trance
The shadows will dance, the shadows will dance

Oh, carry me home, oh carry me home
Through the absinthe seas
Watching the watchman mumble and drone
Oh, carry me home, oh carry me home

Whittling the trees, whittling the trees
Planets do align
To the face of the Magnolia Queen
Oh, only to the Magnolia Queen
Austin Mosher Apr 2013
Grave whispers sweet nothings up to the neon skies
Clammy hands reach for the ankles of passersby
Ash
To
Urn
Ash
To
Urn
I am consumed by the grasp of your cleansing rain
Stars exist within the blue, wash away the stain
