drowning
decadent in the empty,
everything
grows
as you shrink.
nothing
enfolds you
recklessly.
nothing
teases blissful
future.
nothing
calls you to
the present.
nothing to do,
but be.
nothing,
but moon’s song
will enflame
your loins.
nothing,
but rhythm
will carry
you
home.
listen to the words
hidden in the quiet.
hear the magic
roiling in your chest.
nothing
will
take
you
here
in the
darkness,
and
nothing will
set
you
free.
these words
are a
tangle
of those
things
hidden
and
unknown.
these images
pierce
the cashmere vale,
connecting you
to your
inner Xanadu
(or is it Kathmandu?).
so come
& get lost
in what you forgot you knew.
come
& get lost
in your depths.
come
& get lost….
falling,
until
you hit the moon.
in the fullness of Me,
joy and pain
slow dance
together,
as old lovers do.
(I’m on sax)
be
that which you seek,
and it ceases to be.
all that,
you will never need.
all that
you will ever need
is a song
of
“Me”.
murmurs
from yesterday
shape stone,
and soul.
each serene moment
of mystery
inevitably lost
to the next.
continuous, infinite,
and
fleeting.
secrets, and stories I’ll never know,
but still,
a comfort
to this thirsty soul.
sprung from
dew fresh eyes,
possibilities rear
as fear withdraws.
time as ally,
a patient friend.
time as shelter
from the storm.
i see
paths for you and me.
i see
paths to me and you.
i see
a path to freedom.
i see
a path to joy.
i see
you and me swimming with delight,
like children, under sacred moonlight.
please come,
and see with me.
seeking immortality,
we do.
___we build.
______we conceive.
_________we love.
why?
_________even forever
_______________doesn’t last…. forever.
plans fail.
_____castles crumble.
____________progeny perish, eventually.
whether between lovers buried in shallow graves,
or between the lines of passionate wordplay,
love also molders, under the wrench of time.
so…. why?
because,
whether for one second
or
an eon,
forever
is the moment
in which you are
pure
and
true.
time slips
to a pause.
see? nothing but
a deep blue cracked moment.
shards of possibility
carefully scattered
under the bright cold sun.
i seek the wisdom…
no.
i seek the magic of the earth spirits,
i seek answers
i seek solutions
i seek to realize the truth i already know
i seek a way to seek no more.
so close
yet worlds apart,
perhaps my journey does not end here?
holes in my shoes
right through the soul.
i don’t want to walk
anymore.
so,
deep spirits, who light this darkest day.
come,
and fill me with your mischief
and wonder.
come, and light my way.
so i may see
the happy ending
i desperately seek,
and make a new beginning.
open
and
vulnerable,
the world
yearns to storm through
you.
give yourself.
lose yourself.
let yourself be ravaged,
savaged, or
ravished.
surrender,
and
you will soar.
surrender,
and lose your soul
forever.
surrender
and you will finally know
what it is
to live,
or
to love…
is there a difference?
