Soul-singing

We were always hidden, weren’t we… Each hidden in our own heads, we slipped straying hands inside of each other’s pockets, Picking out something we were lacking in ourselves, Each finding something extraordinary in the other. We picked pockets and stole hearts instead, Catching secrets from each other’s whispers, Seeking fleeting moments in shadowed corners. But we fell too fast, too hard, headlong into inescapable darkness. --------------------------- Darkness consumes us all so quickly. The light of fireworks used to shine in your eyes, but the explosions of shells Looks remarkably similar, and their glare repla

Take this knife and run me through Anything's better than the nearness of you So close to me but the farthest away Tearing at my soul day by day Your smiling charm, your delightful grace The play of light upon your face Your song calls me from afar Your melody leaving me with scars This may be wrong, it may be right We can't let go without a fight But you stab me, kill me, rip me apart I'm bleeding from a broken heart

Disappearing Into the deep blue Of forgotten memories Drifting through oceans and Skies of regret Remembering times of shame and desire Cannot this depth consume me? Wishing that the darkness of the night sky And the very blackest of seas Could conceal all I wished to leave behind But, I seem to have brought the darkness with me Into the light I drag it Daily the deeps devour my thoughts Inescapable, I am drowning In a past which I wish were today While simultaneously one I wish to forget Drag me down into the dark blue sea Shoot me to the furthest reaches of the sky Let me relive the joys of the past So that I may forget the pain they

It has come to the attention Of the omnipotent, omnipresent society That what you are, who you are Does not conform with regulation It has come to the attention Of the ones always watching, Always waiting for a chance To leap upon the weak That you have become feeble in your defenses It has come to the attention Of the ones who live off The downtrodden and expressive That your words are no more Than a fragile mask of powerful emotion It has come to your attention That you are no longer wanted Your flamboyant and expressive nature Is no longer appreciated or even acknowledged Because they watch Waiting patiently and politely For you to

Finding the world anew Losing the crisp chill of autumn Discovering the heat of the October sky The world springs again Swiftly exiting the brisk cloud of winter Basking in the sunlight of February

Trapped halfway Between heaven and hell Earth and sky Give me time to ponder my predicament I still feel torn As though a part of me Still resides Across a landscape of impossibility I want to believe I dream of being faithful The perfect believer But part of me is incapable Somehow, I cannot Suspend my belief, Put my trust is one I’m not sure is there for me Sometimes I see divinity, light Love for mankind But the feeling is quickly torn apart by negativity and selfish desire But I still feel your presence When I am alone When I need an ear What if your voice Is only what I want to hear? Love can conquer all But love seems def

You are the food Food to nourish and maintain the soul Food sustaining our love, our faith, You fill us and bring peace You are the bread Bread of life, bread to feed the people, Bread broken at the communal feast Bread to remember You are the wine Wine to purify and cleanse Wine for thought and word and deed Intoxicating us in salvation You are the fish Abounding and plentiful In the seas of mind and oceans of heart Multiplying yourself in the souls of thousands You are the lamb The lamb slaughtered by the butcher of humanity The lamb glorified in death. The innocent lamb, who died so that we ungrateful Might eat, and be saved from our h

Somewhere beyond the reach of space and time My lover sleeps Somewhere beyond the space of mind My lover dreams Past hours, past days, past months, We sleep, we dream Past shores, past land, past oceans, We meet in a landscape of imagination Beyond belief, hope, destiny and love Two lovers do dream Sleep opens her heavy gates, and in this Strange distortion of space-time-memory, Two lovers meet The only touch distance can provide

Star light… All the stars in the Milky Way, reaching towards infinity Star bright… Vega, Altair, Deneb, Polaris The first star I see tonight… Venus, Saturn, Andromeda far in the distance I wish I may, I wish I might… A child staring up into the heavens, wishing with all her might Have the wish I wish tonight The faintest breath of a sigh; "I wish for…" Before the majesty of millennia, here I stand. The dust of these stars comes together to create this being. The roar of these stars brings me to life The dust of suns and fallen worlds Is my breath, my body, my bone
