Sustainable life
Sounds boring and trite

If you stand there alone
like a rock in the night

How will you know
Just what can be

If you never let go
You can never be free  

Let your life touch the light
If only you dare

Let's explode through the sky
In one solar flare

Power these hands possess
like rampant serpent heads
And taste for Life's distress

We hunt all ends for Her weakness lo
Idly she defends
For secretly she wants to know
At where Life ends
where the men may go

taking pains
what a chore
a whimpering beast
pawing at my core
asking me to care...

to love all, in care
when all is not worth loving
such is my despair

the world screams for me:
acknowledge!
where there are no eyes
God is hurting

angelic softness
of a genuine smile
sets her spirit unfurled
with a quiet laugh
she humbly cast
a perfect visage to the world

How could God allow
For the untimely meeting
Of perfect soul-mates

Seek for an answer and you'll find none
But seek them all and one by one
Through the field they'll flutter by
and spark for you - a firefly

As for the world
I can't withstand

the cumbering days
try my shrunken self

Until at last we finally can
Hide our souls in each others hands

We crawled about the brightest childhood
Eye's pining at the luster  
and to our dismay
when at last we stood
alone and adjusted
the world seemed a dark and senseless structure

Gather near friends
While we wait for the feast
Let us drink in the tale
Of the man and the beast

they say beneath every man
an opulent beast stands
wearing the colors of the day
and playing tricks with gravity

what an old thing too!
and all the time spent coming up with you
Rider, rein in hand, crowned upon his head
the new rule is reason and the old god has fled

I'll do the things no man has done
whenever I'm with you
and sing the words no voice has sung
to let us feel anew

I'll say the things no man has said
if just to make you smile
and trace the stars above your head
in novel shape and style

I want to name the blades of grass
I lie upon with you
In one gulp drink the ocean's vast
and pinch the opal moon

And when the world affronts me
with adventure and death

I'll be by the water
crooked smile laughing with life on my breath

we remember man is cursed
to always love the self first
but always we forget to guide
with the boundaries of self in mind

Permanence is Gods blood.

He's a lover, not a fighter. They said.

I fail to see the distinction. She said.

Love is the greatest fight of all.

I love you, stranger.

Sweet object of inclination
Selfish keeper of care
Reason serves to be a patron
Runs the beast into despair

Remember the time we walked as a group
It was down by the river – I bet that you do
I didn’t know you, and you didn’t know me
But that didn’t matter – apparently
You brushed up beside me and sweetly said “hi”
I fell in love with you then, but I didn’t know why
We started to talk, and I put on my charm
Hoping my heart wouldn’t cause you alarm
But it usually does, and I think that it did
I looked for you later, but I think that you hid
That didn’t stop me, it made me search more
For the soft-eyed earth angel – I had to adore
I love you, you see, and I think I know why
Because love always says – let’s give it a try

Genius like lightning
Strikes the sky despite me
Blame the watchful beast I'm riding

Soulful beast here sleeps
But ever the low heart beats
To catch her sacred kiss
Winds him for the working day

life engine turning
by god fuel burning
for a system still learning
how to be, how to be

Trust in the change
Have faith in the flux
It's always this way
Running in and out of luck

Life engine turning
By God fuel burning
For a system still learning
How to be, how to be

thoughts thump like a drum
off the skin of my mind
leaping into to the world
with the truths that they find

trust in the change
have faith in the flux
it's always this way
running in and out of luck

As a boy I'd seen it
Clear and true
The why, the how
In every hue
But now I fear
My vision clear
Had pierced the world
Through and through

A drop of fear in the pen
Stains the whole piece - ugly
Be lightning that strikes the sky
Feel your way through
Without a shudder of a try

Hold the Sun above your head
While He holds you beside Him
