unchained spirit

simple beauty

a flower

(as it was meant to be)

"after 6 beers," says crazy george,
"she's not gonna be looking any better."

Oh, woman!
wounded spirit
of moonlight and broken glass

Oh, fiery night
Oh, heat
raging, dazzling light

the wild place
till the red morning light

till the red morning light

hold me tenderly
hold me with those gentle eyes

hold me in your arms
far from shadows
where the nightingale sings

till the red, morning,  light.

No one reads the words
written across my smile anymore

'Cept the one looking down

And I wonder if that is a smile or a frown

The days taste of lost dreams

Such a ripple of breath upon the tongue of my dreams

Sometimes when I am standing numb

I have that endless breach

I just wanna be the same

Then you go home alone

Lay down the music low
No place for the light to glow
Lay back and ease on down
Wash out on tides that bound
Untie every knot and release
Dwell in the options called peace
Let no words disturb your trust
Let no touch turn to lust
Become one of the many
In the fabric of time and plenty
Barely breathe , so relieved
So silence conceived
Surrender to the night
To win you must lose the fight

The intent leaves ,
directed by our desires ,
bounce of the walls and
the canyons of our minds
The echoes never round
the corners
in the way they left
They come staggering out
colliding with the walls of destiny
We always stop to listen
Then go about our day
No one can remember what they say

i never intended
to take apart
all the pieces
you glued back
together
