The Song

The Song

 

From refuge to riches

They scaled mountain walls

Followed the rivers old

Rivers gold.

 

The song of drifting

By tidal wave

By summer and autumn fall

Refugee of war.

 

She held a child

To her bleeding chest

Heart open wide

Love song cried.

 

North wind blows

Beckons in whispers

They come at me

again again again

pop up pop up

advertisement advertisement

They flog me like angry turkeys

angry colors against my eyes

I try to close out

but they're overwhelming my harddrive

I click out of one

and the next one takes it place

again again and again

Moccasins souls weep for my clotted blood line

I can see my soul leak threw thin strung rawhide

Ancestors famously weep for me in modern time

Struggling

let me lie here next to you. all i will do is look at you. i will look at you in surprise and ecstatic love each time i find a new curve that i had not seen before. exploration underway.

the warmth i get from your body is like that of a bear and his fleece in hibernation.

audience.the tragic hero will come good.

the future will be as it always should

if you will it with your minds and hearts

a hero succeeds where others fall apart

however we can all be our own heroes

knights of our own fantasial stories of adventure

get there with honesty with laughter and with

FLY

 

Black devil

Spinning around the room

Looking for somewhere to land

Finds his place in the cracks

Of my white-washed walls.

 

Little stain

Smallest drop of poison

From the stygma of his hands

And from his eyes

Diamonds of temptation.

Won’t you bust a rhyme with me?

 Write a funny line with me?

Maybe share a silly story

 Or picture something really gory

Hit me in my beating heart

Vacant houses with slanted walls

   Entangle my logic with every turn.

Rooms rearrange themselves

   As places take on dual identities.

Bears and strangers chase me down hallways

if you could see me through my window

oh my what a sight you'd see

there are pales of love in the smatterings of light

there are whole armfuls of wisdom in urns

i horde saplings of old trees breathing pureness

i have waves no whole oceans of happiness

and i am saving them all

Krimson Lachryma


Disintegrate

Into the Apocalypse

Faithfully falling

To prayers upon their lips


Face the greed

And tread lightly


Broken steed

ever weaker nightly


Devoured hooves

Bled by wolves


Bile and guts

Spilling - out of stars

Spilling - out of stars
