TO SEE YOU AGAIN

Sea water dance

Over night shaded sand

No more his hand

He’s a sad lonely man

 

On broken shells of cream

Broken winged candle lit dusk

On a crest of green broken free

Floating away

 

It’s so bad

I want to see you again

I want to see you again

 

Blue aqua bliss

For a sea strangled nest

Kill for this kiss

He’s a sad lonely man

 

On broken shells of cream

Broken winged candle lit dusk

On a crest of green

Broken free floating away

 

It’s so bad

I want to see you again

I want to see you again

 

I’m not afraid of what I’ve seen you feel and

still you say you don’t want anybody

You say you don’t need anyone

You say you don’t want anybody

All the sea

All gone

 

Blue water dance

Over night shaded sand

No more his hand

He’s a sad man

ALL THE WORLDS

Tonight a window open seas appear

Tonight I follow phantoms leading where

You waited so long

You wait so long

Your wait is so long

You’ve waited so

 

You stare too much

You walk too fast

Your face a past of a fatal desire

 

Tonight a sailor sleeps and sees you near

And though he’ll dream your heart apart together

Your wait is so hard

You’ve waited so long

Your wait is so hard

You wait so

 

A charted wind you fear could move too fast

That you stand against trembling tearing eyes

But in this tempest tide tonight I see

You are not for me

All the worlds of treasures left and buried hidden from our eyes

That you want opened yes but you walk away

You walk away

We stray too long too far away

It seems so far far away

It’s the same

It’s the same

Always the same

 

As the tears are falling down down my eyes focus on the ground tearing ground

Breakin’ dirt breakin’ me my eyes on the ground my eyes on the ground I crawl with my head hangin’ down who’s in my head whose screaming insanities

Whose face in the dirt do I see mine

My eyes open here eyes open here eyes open here

 

Tonight a window open seas appear

Tonight a sailor drifts tonight forever

SACRIFICE

night fall–a summon for sacrifice

were you crying below the water’s surface

did you say why should I die I’m young so much to give

but why should I stay forever in time

 

I was so afraid

one regret in this life my wait

I’d breathe you my life

 

somewhere you drift a spark of mystic light

your voice a kiss to wake eternal life

if only a kiss

but somewhere you drift out of time

 

I was so afraid

one regret in this life my mistake

I’d breathe you my life for you to live

if only you could

 

heaven sent a gift of sacrifice

at the end again we begin again

to be called to be bled of fate

for the one’s heaven sent for the one’s heaven’s taken on

 

do you turn your beloved dance

surrendered in songs of your true romance

you said a face is a dream of the soul

if that’s so

we’ll dream yours forever in time

EVE

Sunset beauty lives in a box

where cracked blinking neon lights her bed on the stairs

Sometimes she’s so tired so wasted and cold

She’s a woman with no home no one comes or goes

Her face in the shadowed light in our lives

Is anyone saving her

 

Walking in the streets

In a stoned sleep

Awaken worlds in my head

So many times I would leave

But for the love of Eve

 

I will stay here

For the love of Eve

 

Your world barren no one here so sound or voice but your own

A locked empty cage but it’s no voice of your own

Perfume and desire his quickening breath

Your face in the shadow of a light in your life

And no one is saving you

 

Waking in the street

from a stoned sleep

Crazy rage in my head

So many times I would leave

But for the love of Eve

I will wake here

For the love of Eve I will wait

The redemption of Eve I will see

For the love of Eve I will wait

 

Gash wide and blistered dry there’s a harpist playin’ in some distant sky

Spoon fed from a bone dry plate this world’s in destruction by this time we ought to know all the hate just leaves us a wreck and we ought to know who to blame’s not who

we expect

 

For the love of Eve

I will wait

The redemption of Eve

I will see here

When all is one and one is all

TWILIGHT

you think your

smarter faster

every day

don’t you get

a feelin’

things ar

goin’ your way

from the sky

buzzards

circle prey

and fly in low on

a caustic

blistering wind

thunder rolls across the

desert sky purple twilight

a rose in beacon lights

far away from the city

scream you’re wondering

why in this light you

stand

 

you shake a fast

finger reign

in fame a star

dazed chart

blazer

you bleed the

same with all

the game masters

for thorns

you play now

you lie here a

dying rose in

their hands

 

you think

you’re smarter

faster every

day now you

get a feelin’

things will go

more your way

you’re a dark

angel’s soul

escape

and all the winds

blow a strange

enchanted dream

SPACE TRAIN

Tell me in broken rhyme and your crying blue grey

eyes that it seems like no one here will love some

get used and some so tough some are bruised beyond

black with the night sky open why turn back stay

here you’re finally home you’re finally home stay

when you feel sad jump and ride aboard the space

train jump and ride aboard when you feel sad you

you’ve got those real time blues take me in lover’s

arms where we spend eternity hours where the

cruelest wind of time will not blow reason defied

and I realize when seconds and motion stop that it

feels just like I’m coming home alone stay here

you’re finally home you’re finally home stay when

you feel sad jump and ride aboard the space train

jump and ride aboard when you feel sad you you’ve

got those real time blues it’s all in my head it’s all

a dream or is it when our fractured and painted

towers crumble dust then our fools and sage deliver

walk in trust and find home it’s anybody’s home

MERCY

cradled dolls and tears

her angels never come she things they’ll

never come

they’re a whisper hushed not spoken loudly

what do they say

go on dream yourself awake go on why the rush to wait

no fall left you here in sin my angels spoke today I hear my angels

my angels they walk with me

feining freedom lost in years a cynical waste

foolish wishes hopes for courage

singing what could I say

my heart beats scarred afraid

my head so

much to blame

my world spins a

tangled web

my angels spoke today

I hear

my angels they say

my angels, they walk with me

I see

my angels they walk with me

my hope angels save me and we’ll fly

on wings of flame up to the heart on wings to awaken

this child will awake
