incinerated
engulfed, embodied
through my marrow
sear my body
soft flames
burning lust
put me out
with your touch
with your eyes
burn me bright
dont look away
lets savor the pain

feeling bones
03:28
|
|||
theres something in my feeling bones
both humor and pain
theyre made of marrow and blood alone
and the nerves around they sing
theres strength and senses in my feelins core
in my skeleton and frame
and both things things seem ever more
than what my flesh can contain
theres sprains between my feeling bones
fractures that have healed
scar tissue, it feels like home
theres something in my feeling bones
both love and distrust
they stir in darkened depths unknown
amid loneliness and lust
theres trauma in my xrayed heart
and my ribs they cage it well
as my skull protects my sense of mind
and my jaw guards words to tell
this worlds designed to anesthetize
the feelings in your bones that serve to guide
theres something in my feeling bones
a compass that spins
with directions that are cardinal
and its arrow i depend
these bones they search in restless ways
they move just like the wind
and sometimes they get heavy oh,
and they feel too much like lead.
theres feathers and stones
in my feeling bones
laughter and tears
in this body i use to roam.

bones buried in sand
marrow steeped in this land
tred lightly
this worlds made of many graves
in wilds and in cages
theres blood in the soil
it lingers like oil
sands in the hour glas
shift and forever last
its quickness unbearing, unbridled
as sediments they crack
ever hard to grasp
and earthen bones shake
they rattle n dont break
hallow ground
beneath our feet
spirits bound
but still they speak
in life in our veins
brief but retained
as we, were corporeal
flesh made of death
in moments everlasting
yet fragile, imperminent

ocean wakes
05:01
|

ocean wakes
seas change
water on the rocks
splash and spray
a high wind bellows
the sun, it shines
your body's like the sea
flow over me
theres salt in the air
salt in your hair

autumn falls
04:12
|
|||
autumn falls in icy blue
as rain shadows with graying hues
and what do I know
as a stable drifter
and what do I see
this worlds filtered
as days are short and nights are long
winter comes with no where to belong
streets are paved with hardships fallen
and shattered lives whos fates are sullen
and what do I know
what do I see
where will I go
where will I be
streets are a river swelled
leaves awash on the banks, they dwell
and what do I know
in this currents eddy
what do I feel
this currents heavy
hues they darken with winters rise
the cold it comes like a slow suprise
streets are paved with hardships fallen
on asphalt oceans lost souls are roaming
and what do I know
and what do I see
where will I go
and where will I be?

take my hand
02:24
|
|||
take my hand and hold it close
theres warmth in its way
my fingers will search in yours
in a tender gentle way
theres a sweetness in my finger tips
and a softness in my palm
I hold it in my hands for you
I hold it in this song
take it or leave
it will remain
in soft harmony
no grasping strain
my love is a well untapped
it boils underground
and it can spring eternally
oh once that it is found
and it cant be poisoned
it can be misused
but it is meant for nurturing
its meant to be consumed
so drink from my touch
it wants to heal
it yearns so much
to be real
theres magic in my nails
theres magic in my skin
a force thats ethereal
though dormant it has been
theres power in the sensory
theres power in its spell
my hands embody secrets
only wordless touch can tell
take my hand
and hold it close
and feel its warmth
it wants to grow

take me out
02:58
|
|||
ive been here before
shut blinds and a locked door
swollen heart ripe and sweet
for someone to come and eat
hey take me out
for a while
I want to see it all
I want to see you smile
for ever in love
forever alone
fortunes will fail
but a flame I hold
burns in the dark
burns in the cold
life is made of chains
its burdens and its drains
but I look forward
and not behind
a freer life
can still be mine
hey take me out
for a little while
I want to see it all
I want to see for miles
my heart alone
will beat unbound
in arrested state
of love profound
in this locked room
in this small town
isolated and sacharine
between the bars built into our heads
it takes more than one to conspire and revolt
to liberate our hearts in hold
so hey take me out
for a while
lets break our chains
lets cease denile
we have the keys to our own locks
pandora waits with hope in her box
lets take to the streets
lets take to the blocks

solomons song
03:53
|
|||
solomons song echoes in the dark
singer in the sound exhales
pangs in my own heart
leaves my body derailed
under the moonlight pale
this sin is sensual
unbridled unwedded and godless
the real devils in the nuptuals
and temptations of progress
ancient in the ways I love you
innocent in origin
from the depths of my body
painted in sin
from knowledge poisoned
joseph, mary and magdeline
the virgin and the whore
lilith and adam’s eve
the demons of the story
oh and lots wife
a pillar objectified
but worth her weight in salt
and nameless by n by
parables inscribe upon me
a tainted evil lust
but my sacrilege is sacred
I hold it in trust
for those of whom I touch
and I am no mans wife
and I will never be
cause state and scriptures
cannot define
my rights and roles
to me

gods no one remembers
04:49

im a lone wolf walking in sheeps clothing
im a lion im a lamb
im an alley cat im roaming
I am a rose unfolding
im a morning glory blooming
im a serpant and im slithering
between the vines their quivering
the worlds not meant
the worlds not meant
for me
as cityscapes grow
like blight in the trees
and I keep to the shadows
I cameleon in the light
I shapeshift im human
I perform for your sight
and when im alone im hallow
im an animal in the night
im a plant with buried roots
that lives among the heights
im more than just
im more than just myself
and pain it comes from hurt
pain it comes from hell
im a bird of a feather
a fish out of water
I will fly for the winter
dive deep for the summer
I plant myself in autumn
I will rebirth in the spring
I am of this earth in cycle
one with everything
and when im alone
I can feel it all
humanity encroaching
building cages and walls
im a lone wolf walking
in sheeps clothing
im a lion im a lamb
im the nature im invoking
I am hunted shot and slaughtered
I am felled for my timber
I am feared and took for granted
im the gods no one remembers
im the seasons and the sunshine
gods no one remembers
im the moon amid the darkness
gods no one remembers
I am the goat I am the ram
gods no one remembers
im the spirit in the wine
gods no one remembers
I am the elm and I am the alder
gods no one remembers
I am fertility and harvest
gods no one remembers
I am shared space between the genders
gods no one remembers
I am beyond sin and sainthood
gods no one remembers
I am ancient I am mystery
gods no one remembers
oh god no one remembers
oh god no one remembers

my love, my light
03:54
|
|||
my love
is a fractured light
in a colidoscopic gem
its colors
refract and repeat
like dreaming cycles of REM
light tied
to no one
lenses in my eyes
in my minds sun
sight subject to
shadow
and visions in my
peripheral
my love
is a searching spotlight
and a light house
its brightness
is the shining hope
in the storms that drown and douse
light tied
to a cliff
archaic in time
and lit with a wick
on the clearest nights
it shines so pure
in foggy maelstroms
its lights unsure
my love
is as real as an
electromagnetic stream
its properties are
as myriad and ethereal
as me
light tied
to a feeling no one can touch
electric and alive
an illusion
