No words escape me The sun will rise tomorrow Or so I am told
Lofting lazily Enter murky depths of feel Quivering eyelids Two heavy from the weight of The thoughts that lead me astray
Is there something dark? Dark, dark, deep down inside me Something that keeps me Away from the center ring A divergent path indeed
Once my beating heart Matched steel drum lines to-to-toe Teaching metronomes But now my beat has fallen Into syncopated depths
Seasonal ill’n Ado, ado, soft achoos Cool wind seeps through me
Distractions of youth Parade like bright spring flowers Always on the mind Entangling my weak heart To the land of mud and ice
Sweet little black box From metalic elogy Sleep now, sing no more
Tonight I awoke to an orange hori… one that I had never greeted befor… It took me back, to the days of ce… and disregard for the ticking of c… Part two:
Perplexity breathes Into the hearts of all men In heart beat matters We shy our true intent like An elephant in the vent
Tiny flashing lights Figures entwine together Closer and closer ‘closer than ever’ they say Beside our computer screens
Howling and wailing Like the vast October winds Delightful to find Many who share the same chord Sing till frogs jump in our throat…
Fresh Seattle rain Cleanser more of soul than streets I envy that sound Such simple pure harmony Don’t forget that umbrella!
A sudden waking From formless blinking through dre… Please, just one more year! Surprised to glance the moon’s fac… An hour before her phase
The mind of a girl That swirling vertex of bright Is unreachable So we put up these steel walls When we could have built a bridge!
I pray for the day When my mind is clear Silence, sweet silence Schemes and impulses forgone To live without a shadow
