higher

Higher

well i'm an angel, going round in you head,
soon, i will be dead,
provoking thoughts of senses, you once knew,
in a dream, i'm awaking you.

life, higher than before,
life, awaiting the next door,
life, higher than before,
life, it's knocking over more.

well she's the demon,dancing on the dead,
alluding reason, she's sure to cure life's dread,
give you direction, a purpose more perverse,
she'll love you like a lover, till your crying for divorce.

life, higher than before,
life, awaiting the next door,
life, higher than before,
life, it's knocking over more.

passing thru

Passign Thru

were passing thru an astral plane,
where minds are split and put back a little rearranged,

would you recognize a former form of you,
from an ancient city that once knew of you,
and comments were made, you had married her.

does love ever die,
cause when i last looked in your eyes,
there was someone there i did not know,
does love remember you, remember me.

now that you've come back with a different view,
of something we were only passing thru.

in a poem

In a poem

i said it in a poem,
i said it to your face,
i said it in a letter,
i meant to send the other day,
and now it seems, you're listening,
and now it seems, to make sense.

i've sedated my heart ache,
i've dove head first through a gate,
i've collected my reasons,
to seal my own fate.
and now it seems, your listening,
and now it seems, to make sense.

i've waited in fields of joy,
i've waited for my king,
i've enjoyed my passion,
as it comes from within,
to rest of my youth,
i've known content,
and the answered prayers,
seem to make sense.

hand in hand

Hand in Hand

hand in hand, alone in the dark,
you held me tight trying to reveal a spark,
i tried to scream, i tried to escape,
this hand of yours has sealed my fate.

set me free again,
set me free again,
let this hatred end,
and set me free again.

hand in hand we walk through the grave,
digging up things that we want to save,
a memory, a memory of fate,
could end my life to eternal hate.

set me free again,
set me free again,
let this hatred end,
and set me free again.

hand in hand, i'm running away,
as fast as you can,
you get in the way,
move over, don't make me hesitate,
this foolish love, well i think it's rape.

set me free again,
set me free again,
let this hatred end,
and set me free again.

down south

Down South

i've been down south for so long,
watched the heavens swallow the last poets' song,
but i've grown tired of caring for a storm,
just one more reason and i'll move on,

dreams are like movies in a star,
eyes of wonder who we are,
the closer i get, the more i feel,
i've started to slip and trip and now i'm more real

seems like everyday comes faster than before,
i saw tomorrow as i shut another door,
couldn't stop to hear what there saying,
cause i'm the living in each and every day.

i've been down south for so long,
lost a wish to see another tear i'd adore,
and crushed the desire of wanting to ignore,
this one last reason and i'll conform.
cause there's a hope in the darkest of hearts,
of knowing something more beautiful than a song,
an actual feeling we shared in some way,
the one true reason i'll never walk away.

when the night comes

When the Night Comes

when the night would come crashing down,
on my head like a thorny crown,
i would see you, i would be you,
if i could..i'd never leave you.

lightning never comes to town,
it has never struck me down,
when i see it, i plan to be it,
never ever leave it..till it's all around.

driving down an open dusty road,
defenses down, i'm free to roam,
i'll receive it, take it as a secret,
never ever leave it...untouched.

when i'm walking down a highway,
one foot in front of a new day,
like an eagle i plan to fly,
freedom calling..i shall never die.

end of reality

End of Reality

if not for today,
like feet imprints in clay,
to a place under a tree,
that's been waiting there for me.

eyes bearing soul,
life a river holds,
forever in the dark,
awaiting it's holdings.

and she came to me in a dream,
like a baby hushed of a scream,
she began to comfort me,
and left me in a rush,

it wasn't much to see,
but meant everything to me,
like the end of reality,
like the end of reality.

and she said it was the end,
no more trying to pretend,
she meant everything to me,
like the end of reality.

perimeter

Perimeter

Out here on the perimeter,
hoofed feet pound the ground,
out here on the perimeter,
it seems that all is found,
but if you look,
and if you ask,
you will hear the sounds,
and visions of the holy field,
as we crawl all around.

out here on the perimeter the shadows brave the cold,
out here on the perimeter it's hard to say we know,
anything about this world from which we've come,
anything about ourselves,
that we've undone.
everything is all around,
vast, open wide,
everything for anything,
all you need is sky,

it's no wonder you are scared,
so many come and go,
but the tale they told is true,
and this is all i know.

out here on the perimeter the old man knows,
out here on the perimeter, no we can't grow old,
but if you reach without hands,
you may grasp the sun,
and if you fall over,
you'll drown in the seas of emotion.

The song "Perimeter" explores the themes of boundary, discovery, and existential reflection. The "perimeter" suggests a space at the edge or border, where the familiar meets the unknown.

There's an acknowledgment of fear and the transient nature of life, as many come and go, leaving behind only their stories.
The old man on the perimeter represents wisdom gained from living on the edge, where growth isn't tied to time ("no we can't grow old"), but rather to experience and perception. The lines about reaching without hands to grasp the sun and the potential to drown in "seas of emotion" suggest that the pursuit of understanding or meaning is both a powerful and perilous journey.
Overall, "Perimeter" captures the tension between exploration and existential fear, the quest for knowledge, and the acceptance of the unknown. It paints a vivid picture of life at the edges, where the vastness of the world invites both awe and caution.

girl i miss

Girl I Miss

there is a girl i miss,
she has wondered through my wish,
there is a girl i miss,
and she has asked to see an abyss.

it's so cold on my skin and the places have been,
leave me restless and weary i've been walking like the wind,
on my own through the mountains in the sky,
married dreams swell up and flow pure from my side.

and the sun and the moon and the tears in my eyes,
and the dreams that i mean i have met compromise,
like her days in the fields, she's the center of God,
like chills through my bones when she begins to cry.

there is a girl i miss,
she has wondered through my wish,
there is a girl i miss,
and she has asked to see an abyss.

and the wind in my face, and the light in my eyes,
and the breeze that has fallen turns me inside,
as i stare through the branches of barren leaves,
the ground starts to crackle and poison my beliefs.

turning gray against a midnight blue sky,
the fingers reaching out like my soul for a high,
for a God to unravel, give peace to my mind,
all i find is i'm here and i'm ready to fly.

there is a girl i miss,
she has wondered through my wish,
there is a girl i miss,
and she has asked to see an abyss.

i'm left here

I'm Left Here

four months of waiting by your side,
four months unconscious, tell me why,
you drifted off, leaving me holding your hand.

is it prettier up there?
is it what you said?
you couldn't show me now cause,
i'm left here.

six months and waiting by your side,
six months of questions no reply,
you've been gone such a long time,
but your still, still in my mind,

will it get easier?
will the void be filled?
you couldn't show me how
cause i'm left here.

five years i've experienced it,
five years i've swayed with the tide,
you wouldn't so your buried deep inside,

will you wait for me?
will you want me then?
you couldn't tell me now cause
i'm left here.

I'll Take You There

there is a forest, without trees,
there is an ocean, without needs,
there is a promise, without trust,
there is a madness, without lust,
there is a poem, without words,
there is an island, without isolation

i'll take you there

there is a voice, without sound,
there is a direction, without ground,
there is a philosophy, without pain,
there is a heaven, without gain,
there is a rhythm, without rhyme,
there is a music, without time.

peace

Peace

if i could describe peace inside,
i'd say there were little girls singing like the wind,
through my ears, a kiss to my soul,
where beauty has no end,
and i'd burn like a candle,
as the rain drenched my skin,
and i'd only flicker when i thought I had never been,
eternal,
forever,
a beginning with no end.

so i'll dance,
seduction,
petals on skin,
and twist my tongue till the words say all i am.

love, peace, be known, be kind, live like it matters.

You'll find me in a garden. Plants surrounding me. Calling to me. I see them as life in a different dimension. We share our love for the sun, wind, rain, and opportunity to grow. I believe we are similar in ways we may not imagine. I'm lost in their beauty. Diversity. Leaves and pedals. Flowers and scent. And in that, arent we all one?
