We are diamonds dining On time and space Making pathways Through the grey skies and the grace What path is our own you ask For that is our predicament To find it and walk through the fire Please forget safety and harbor your haste We are painting the places We have yet to wander in Lost hours of loneliness Can never be salvaged It's a promise you make to the creator To wake and make wonder Company can also be lonely So we take walks in the countryside We hike through the empty hours And sleep in the dawn's embrace All our hands are getting stronger All our minds are getting longer Extending beyond the earth We fought for this moment To bring form to the lonely And songs to the lucid We are confusing Our consciousness with our intellect For whomever the bell tolls You alone must answer When it calls you to connect
You are a diamond made From dirt, stars and time I am an island made From music, song and rhyme We are all half-mortal And some claim half-divine A concussion of stories And disturbing images A cacophony of women And a touch of wildlight
We are but tiny stars Burning in our own galaxies Fantasies part ways And we dry our tears On our own paper napkins We are carrying cards And crossing fences That are too big For our human minds To ever fully comprehend
Bless her hands which hold no evil Bless her eyes which see the truth Bless her ears which have heard of all your failures And bless her heart which has no use for them tonight
My song slips from my heart into the words on this paper You start to unfurl them like threads curling around your ego Dreams drift from pages into eyelids Taking their time to remind us That we are all just impermanent visitors here We enter and rise to the sound of a fire burning Turning morning into night and lightning into thunder In slumber we shudder at the angels that take no prisoners Gifts and poison all have their reasons As everything is a part of every other being
There can be no end To writing essays And correspondences Despite categorical imperatives To create a viable alternative To the inexorable premises When contemporary narratives Are chronologically irrelevant When erudition is neglected And ambitions are deflected Masterful articulations Of our feelings and emotions Are often generally neglected And somehow the most Outrageously bad behaviors Are ubiquitously imitated
Whose arms are in your reach Whose eyes do you believe in Whose hands do you feel the safest in Whose kisses make you want to listen Whose words make you feel the greatest I don't know what you need from me Or where we’d end up tonight If we tried to go out dancing But I’m hoping that you wouldn’t mind If i kissed you with every inch of my being
There can be no end To writing essays And correspondences Despite categorical imperatives To produce an archive Of the mind is already Chronologically irrelevant When erudition is neglected And ambitions are deflected Masterful articulations Of our feelings and emotions Are often generally equated With only the most Outlandish of suggestions
We are all a part of this one heart Love is a future and a new start At something older than the sun So stay open to the left-handed savior Who asks if you fancy a little danger Tonight we are chasing financial targets And recycling our milk cartons in the yard But in the morning its back to the office To accept our roles in something That's probably not even worth naming
Ageless angels Won’t live forever Despite the fables And the myths We are equipped With unstable bodies And invisible images Longing to become Meaningful secrets Sealed within our lips
You’ve tormented my taste-buds for way too long And i am stronger now than ever Like unhatched eggs born without nests to catch them Or online influencers who resent their followers We are artifacts of impregnation Being imprisoned in our heads for so many hours a day Creates stagnation and mental ******* We face the estrangement of our bodies In mental institutions the solutions are still waiting To be discovered in the ovens of our saviors Do we bake bread or attest to our failures Salivating women make me envision That discipline and discernment are not easily corrupted I am equipped with innumerable capabilities Swift and full of inhibitions we are suddenly tripping Walking on balance beams down halls of stereophonic wisdom
What if we were a pair of old barn owls Born to bloom posthumously In this post-mortem moonlight These are our fumigated farmhouses And landscapes among the stars Where celebrities with hardened hearts And star-beings who only come alive at night Are trying to write sermons in the dark While we sit here with ceremonies in our hearts Wondering why confused human beings Always try to deify the colors of the rainbow
In libraries of desire and shadow I show you my true face Can we ever escape these paintings And portraits of our pain We are occupied tonight With inflations of divine importance Hundreds of soldiers Dream of sleeping in the park Making their beds on pallets of lost art While former lovers harvest our scars And make silent movies in the dark
We are all talking much louder Than your shoulders can translate There are escaped sovereigns hiding from Modern anthems of star spangled spasms Underneath our hearts there are cars and cartridges Condoms and consoles coiled around our flagpoles We are through being told what not to do So whenever we fool around with tiny tyrants Please know that we are talking about you And I am supplying your mind with ecstatic silence In order to finance these fading fitness regimes And measure your symbols in systematic struggles We are all insignificant bundles of nerve fibers Hoping to one day be born again As an alchemical magus fluent in many languages
Forgotten painters roam the streets And we are indeed dangerous to our habits Manners are stately angels Who feed off our strangeness As we dance on tables too often Making rebels and devils fall in love
One face and then another You chase my heart and I start laughing I'm running because i know your love Is like a weapon pointed at the sun We resume coming undone Hovering over our love Are the flowers we planted This roaming hunger Shows me everything you need So I am growing food for you in pots And taking chances in the bedroom Soon you’ll be a new person Infused with cinnamon and treason
We are fathomless beings Our faults lie in our voices Not in our minutes We are untouched by water Hungry for the ancestors We are old walking shoes And slow moving vehicles Sitting on the sidelines Waiting for you to notice us
how sweet it is to be lost and tossed in the river one hand takes the place of another in a struggle to breathe we are free to deceive ourselves and for once take our own side in the battle
You are the color of laughter And a part of all that I can see You surround the earth with feelings And make it worth our similes We are all individual particles of your desire The higher we rise the more we realize Your embodiment is necessary I am incarnating my heart One spark at a time Finding the irreconcilable differences Between science and art We are poetic licenses masterfully exercised I supply my own meaning to the tendencies I find
In the tender corners of the mind You are happy to reside In living colors and blooming flowers Nature showers in the morning and the night In every flavor of the mouth Even in the hours when I doubt you And run around you like a mountain Pounding on the earth for you to let me in
The bottoms of our feet Are the soles of tomorrow We repeat these stories endlessly We are here spinning our wheels Trying to understand the streets And how they were formed in symmetric images We are immersed in villages of hunger Empty of sound and fury Lines before the jury We are useless without our wings So we bring kindness to your springs And drink clean water From the hands of your daughters Gone before the dawn We held on without scorn And stole laughter from the mouth of a tornado With ****** dripping from your lips And ink on your fingertips Holding iron in your palms It appears we need to hail our faith Now more than ever
Come connect with your friends You hesitate to feed the bears That live within your skin I tremble and soften Whenever you mention my name We are living prayers made to offer We are food placed before the fire Stolen from desire’s palace Constantly making fools of our enemies Observing life and all it's folly Ever flowing into an enchanted river Give the world it's heavy fate While we try to remain the least bit tasteful
Do we dare to tell Our secrets to the uninitiated Afraid to dance We took a chance and it backfired I know that sometimes I can be impossible to tolerate And if we congratulate ourselves Too often, we will be mistaken For unfaithful lovers So please do not awaken us No matter what time the clock says
You know the angels aren’t taking Anymore disciples until the spring So we sing the songs of poppy And place our playlists on repeat We are all a part of something beautiful More often than we like to think We only came here for some comfort But left with an open mind and heart We hold the answers in our bodies And perhaps one day they'll speak
What was awake and aware from the very start When we were left standing in the unholy dark You were so demanding then I couldn’t wait to part Would I have known that you'd command my heart
In the silence Of the dawn A bird cried out In the rushing wind I heard you shout We are it And there was no doubt I loved you then Till the morning Came around
Nothing takes form until there is a storm And in that moment you decide What you are going to write I am a poem and you are the dawn And we are the faces that we all forget we carry I have your heart in my heart tonight And we can make it all better by caring
So i bid thee farewell and claim my own company We are seeking solace in the silence And finding consolation in the dawn We’ve worn down our shoes and our stereos And poured over these scenarios for way too long Our stamp collections have lost their meaning And our feelings are equally outnumbered We are unencumbered by daydreams Of delicatessens and dentist appointments And we are tired of waiting for our bodies to fit in to them
What could ever be more important Than these semiotic emergencies The latent insurgencies of our mouths And the symbols that come out (of them) These images are equipped with violent rhythms And we must determine the measurements Of uncertainty before communication can begin
I saw a hundred Arguments turn into Silent rose gardens Women and men Who were frightened Of their own innocence Seeded the sound Of hourglasses With falling grains of sand And did handstands Along the shoreline Of imminent oblivion Until they could Take the time necessary To fully live again
Neglect the exit strategies Factor in the fireplaces And make a run for the bathrooms We are artists with no medium As kindred spirits are united We must drink this tedium together And make real words from our seances We tied ropes around our souls Solely to shake up our abandonment issues We have confused virtue and servitude Confused by loose lips and loose cannons And the bad breath of certain movie stars We all share these vulnerable parts That are as loyal and broken as our heart
We are a pair of healthy lovers Underneath our firmaments Mundane apples never begin To let you in on all their secrets And feelings abide in the residencies We divided beneath our skin
If you wish to Change the world Rearrange it By opening your heart Start with your self And all else will follow Burdened by day Liberated at night In the sky and the sea We all must learn to fight
Within the spinal column of the earth We tell fortunes and make empires fall Our hearts collectively exhale Before the sound of our victories Among the birds and the treetops We dwell in the scent of immanence Dancing human bodies make choices That reflect their connection to existence We are only instants of inspiration Naked against the fence lines Money can’t buy you friendships Or save you from your self We are all unhealthy lovers Underneath our firmaments Mundane apples never begin To tell you all their secrets And feelings abide in the resistances We've divided underneath our skin
We are shells and shoulders The shallower the better Nocturnal symmetry Or diurnal seizures From the mouth of the mystery Myth is spoken Creating meaning and mayhem equally From the smooth edges Of your virginity
You partake in pantless pentecostals My mind is the sky I am born to fly in The heavens reside in your eyes I wonder if poetry Could ever be Anything more than Descriptions and comparisons Of things that we'll never really know I’d like to think it so Though i know a part of me doubts it As if the sound of water from the tap Could imitate a rushing river Or when the toilet flushes I could see a thousand gallons of liquid lightning Rushing to the sea Like a million divided bodies Indivisibly brought together by a fantasy If even for one moment So we could all feel a little better Knowing that we are a part Of something whole
love is the best thing we ever learned so lend a premonition to the darkness that day will return before too long for music is our consequence when we have strayed too far from home
Alarming to the heart We are partaking In this participatory struggle To find our soul In the rubble of an earth That’s been pummeled By poisons And corporate cannibalism There i said it Love is the wisdom we need To seed the future And plant a garden For you and me To breathe
If you’ve never tasted what it's like Then you won’t know what to expect Until it happens again and again So we protect our talents Like we defend our beds As if we are strangers taking strange advice And turning ourselves into anthills and mice Miscellaneous meanings are never opinions So go on seeking your own wisdom From tonight until tomorrow We may find an ending to our cries But the crisis of our lies will remain despite The fact that we already know deep inside That none of us can ever arrive here twice
Never-mind what i said We are steady ahead All engines ready Now is the time to get out of bed I sometimes wonder If you’ve had enough crying for one life time But then i realize we are all already dying So i reply to you to keep on trying Love is a burning rain-forest It's starting again to diminish our souls And burn holes in our skin These words are weapons Against imminent destruction We are defeating the isolation of meaning The specialization of reading is never that special We are all strangers in these strange lands of reason Filled with millions upon millions Of dangerous stranger-beings handing out Mountains of mythological meaning Straight from the mouth of the Mystery
Food is redeeming so eat your Fill of this wisdom Love is slowly toppling Those towers of power where angels Fall down and pray To be dead We are expecting the rain To turn red and each And every Eye to turn Around in our head Again and again Till all is said and done One month is a very long time To have to wait for your love
