Majestic

Let the eyes see the world for what it is, majestic

Until our last

Watching the years roll by

things come and go away

like fitfull dreams things pass

with each day until our last

Dream Again

we make our dreams do our deeds so that we can dream again

When the fog clears

sitting in the sand

waiting for the next

big wave to come

take me to a foreign land

the tide that thunders ever

so loud, edging nearer

when the fog is gone

the way will be clearer

Dust

monuments decaying from cancer

limestone drying in the sun

as the wind tears the layers away

once buried in the sand

now presiding over the desert land

nothing lasts forever buddha said

so the city dies, and the sphinx

slowly turns her head

the day is coming when sand

is all that's standing in our stead

our history dust for the winds

At last

armored bank cars torn to shreds

buses and trains lay upturned

a sideways world now painted red

the sun has left the sky

in the sea the moon does hide

cities now jigsaw puzzles

never to be put back togheter

the mountain now lay flat

the rivers run off track

man has sealed his fate

at last........

Apathy

Sour grapes

and thorned roses

lost time

and broken dreams

within my mind

their cause imbedded

like a spreading disease

leaving me without means

and end to this

that's what we need

before it's too late

and my heart no longer bleeds

watching humanity

in a world of insanity

Parting

The thin cord of friendship

broken too many times

leaving it too short to repair

it's a loss this parting in despair

but what did you expect....

Possibility

Calmness flowing from within

gives rise to all possibility

Willing

News, news, news,

some good, some bad

always changing

fluent and free

like dreams of tomorrow

when we're willing

we can truly see

Bring it on

It knocks me over when I stand

and every time I have it tight

it slips though my hands

to make another ourtagous demand

She's waiting

She's waiting

yes waiting

for me

like a gallant

misty sea

Breaking Down

There is a time when straight is drawn too tight

and snaps into bizzar and war is raged

so stumbling hopelessley across the years

and wall crumbling as all continue the fight

all this breaks down reason and drives fun out

with empty heart and empty head

he travels hand in hand in depression  and disbelief

no pot of gold at the end of his rainbow to bring relief

senses dull

Seventh sense dull, lost without pointing a finger,

unaccomplishment crowding up empty space,

let love thaw from my lonely heart....

From my eyes

I'll give you the world

seen from my eyes

full of mystery

and surprise......

Nostalgia

Crowded memories

my life line tonight

hit with nostalgia

caught in hindsight

Roam

Roam the world by freighter

read the ad, the time of your life

is waiting to be had

curiously I replied

and waited for word

for  when the journey

was to begin

word came

and I scurried onboard

with high held chin

the cargo hold

was to be my unhappy home

dark and cold

a month was to pass

before we reached port

number one

and my eyes strained

at first glimpse

of the sun

I pressed for a reason

I had to know

what was going on

everything I imagined

turned out wrong

slipping away

slipping away

no not tonight

slipling away

I'm afraid

slipping away

are you sure it's safe?

slipping away

I don't want to go alone

but I'd ranter be there

than sitting, waiting  here

for the breaking point

is quickly drawing near

trapped for a moment

at the gate of hopelessness

that place they call hell

The swelling

Have you ever seen the swelling

while sitting upon the rocks

reflected moonlight glows

upon the darkness of the sea

gaint, jagged, bits, and broken lines

that chase the waters out into the distance

where waits the horizon of mystery

Waning Day

Are the thoughts in my head antiques

and the feelings in my heart obsolete

must these expressions be discrete

should I chain them down

or preserve them for display

must I become a silhouette

in the waning day?

Unique

Nothing is ordinary, all is unique, each and every day

Endless

The men of the island were gathering

they were collecting old trees and vines

for years and years, they had great plans

they were building something divine

they made the vines into huge ropes

as thick as an arm, and a stand as big

as a pyramid with two huge arms

they hooked their ropes to the arms

and employed the local animals

and they pulled and pulled

until they had those arms to the ground

they fastened the ropes to the side

of their island, then they all climbed

onto the arms and prayed to the wave gods

to set the ropes free, and away they all flew

into an endless sky of dreams....

Understanding

The mystery of our days run deeper than our understanding

Where

Where is everywhere, right here, and now, that's all there is, always

Reckless

He walked into the room

recklessly

plunged himself

into attention's center

this place he always

made home

he devoured attention

behind he left his victims

standing helplessly

crazed, he made habit

out of disaster

though this was

all unintended

it was the result

of his presence...

Across the miles

Across the miles

and over the years

laughter and good times

and pain and tears

wrapped in my well

soiled blanket

of memories

Good old days

If we're really honest with ourselves,

we have to admit that the good old days

really weren't all that good.....

The beginning

We build the beginnings of our end

and live through the decline, day by day

Seek Love

Life is chaos, that's the short and simple of it....
seek love to give it meaning and balance

He remembers

and so came frustration
with his years
always disaster to confirm
his many fears
yet he remembers times
when he was young
and the stories
of the fall of Eden
and the day evil
made its stand

Say you won't

Each day begins
as an apocalypse
without you
love me please
and I will too
I dare you
oh, words
how you fail
to express
a sinking heart
filled with fear
oh, don't leave
love drowning me
help me, hold me
don't ever leave me
say you won't
burn me from memory
