Capture the rapture
now enraptured
to hold something larger than your palms
(now cold)
Humanity, fragility
a moment shared
we all cared
a force of nature
humankind unwinds
into an obvious moment in time
so we pattern rhyme
into lines we wind
to tell our story
of life unfolding

Darling, you have such beautiful tears
let's shed our fears
the earth and motion
Humanity's an ocean
surrender to devotion
give in to your dreams
question the way things seem
we want the world to teem with dreams

linguistic mystics permeate my statistics
alignment sans confinement
entwinement, rewind it
find a star and keep it
fill your life with
plightless kindness
take the world and redefine it

Time is an illusion
a mystic alluding
to eluding meanings

just as the seasons
dances with reasons
what curious recursions
curious these lines
how they tread on in time
written and read
remember what you said?
caught you from the stars
what's mine is ours
the hours go slow
and how did you sound
with the music all around
your eyes and hands
story weavers
dream makers
the humanity
the divinity
straight from the stars
and I know what you are

This will not be another century
of ancient doctrines thrown about
empty smiles, not to worry it's been answered long ago
maybe even pleased at blood stained pages
legitimatizing!
this is the next impression
messages to save the children's children
no more beautiful blood for the shedding
stars are still in the making
in a galaxy we're spinning
soon you will see
our dominion is life not death
and I wonder how you can take a breath
merely to fuel entropy

And I've been wondering about fate
slipping through days
smoking for years
no reason to start
taking my chances

but I'm going to start
holding my heart
tipping the odds
I'll be forward
tell you what I really think
bring you to the brink with ink
I'll show you my ideas
I'll break the bonds of light
I'll show you my eternal right

Pieces and parts
life imitates art
and my heart
tell me what it's for
because I'm feeling sore
Is it meant for breaking?
Will it make me free like lightning?
I don't know what this is for
you know there's so much lore
explaining the stars
and pieces and parts
life imitates art

Before I confess I confront this mess
of feelings and glances after our embraces
you leave me speechless even sometimes breathless
and I get nervous from silence
when there's so much I could say
And I don't know what I want from you
sometimes you're like the mountains
I see creeks and streams in the seams
and I remember you've been in my dreams
you've been in my dreams
A kiss would be nice but only with the right eyes
otherwise I'm content with your smile
just wishing I could hold you for awhile
one morning to lay by your side
ponder your mind
fingers sift hair
eyes closed without care

Pool me into gold and put me in the sun
I'll drop into your dreams
and tell you secrets there
secrets I'm told to hold dear

and I want to write about love
but today I don’t have enough
my pockets are empty
my mind is full
but only with silent sufferings and yearnings
all my abashing confessions
not so silently rage consumes me
fueled by fear sleeping deep inside me
and I want to write about love
but today I don’t have enough
matter isn’t singing
visions mere hallucinations
lacking the soul of the world
once again invisible to me
but I promise you
that something still lingers in the light that touches your fingers
and I’m sorry if today
my eyes don’t light up honoring the day
just tell me about the light that holds dust
dripping it softly to the carpet

And what is it that's bleeding through the day?
Creatures close their eyes and clouds conspire to be still.
Yes something is visiting these mountains.
Have you heard it humming in your ears?

how is that your only remark?
Last I recall you wanted the ocean.
