Hold onto the sea
Turn the edges square
Pull the wrinkled waves
To smooth the motion there

Placate the burning sun
Mist it with a spray
Release it's tension'd torque
As it accosts the day

Soothe my tattered heart
On it's loom of woe
Blooming out the sails
To make the stall let go

Sea owns not the waves
Sun owns not the burn
Ships cannot be saved
For love is never earned
The lingering mist,
A fog of forgetfulness
Cleansing all that you ever were
This new beginning, your cure
Forgotten yourself and left empty
A lost identity
the pain in my head can not compare to the pain in my heart
i miss him so
i know the love was short lived but still i miss him
his voice in my ears
his image in my head
i still feel his touch and warm embrace
now i move on to a new love and a new pain

In the arms of the sky
With life surrounding
Your pictures are real
Facing forward in your dreams

In the arms of the world
With death surrounding
Your pictures are broken
upside down in your dreams

In the arms of ignorance
With dysfunction surrounding
Your pictures unknown
Lost in your dreams

In the arms of nothing
With darkness surrounding
Your pictures invisible
Blind in your dreams

In the arms of Hell
With fire surrounding
Your pictures nonexistent
Gone from your dreams

Life moves so fast I can’t stop to think a second, just to take it in and let it sink and become reality. We are moving in a single frame, running between bodies, our hearts laced. You watch me watching you and the sweet, pulsing, bursting excitement in our souls, growing every new sunset towards the day we are released, set free. Hold my hand and pull me into the sky with you. My legs are carrying me across freeways and through tall fields of grass, my brain rattles in its cage. Floating, gliding body take control! Tell me where I’m going, who has pulled me here? I’ve repeated his words again and again inside. Are they clear yet? He coaxes me into his dreams, into a secret place where the sun rises later, the rain falls longer, the air stays sweeter, where we can be together and alone. The evening lights blur together and I’m sinking. He heats me like a fire in the twilight, ignites me like spiralling sparks, like neon flies. Kisses me like I’ve never been hurt, like he knows exactly how he is making me feel. He runs and I chase him sometimes, he stops just before I can catch him sometimes. He will let me fall into him, feeling me just to make sure it’s all real. Everything is real. Too fast, too crazy, too sweet to be real. But I can feel you, you can feel me too. So we live the reality until the magic runs thin.

ensconds a wonderland
of capsule shaped escapes
