Music




Wistful
How can simplicity be so full
Thrown u
Across the floor
Can't remember a moment of passion
You were not there
Always more to learn
To listen
More deeply
Fall In love forever
Wrote u off
Haunted me
Like a melody from the god
of another star

With One Note

Knowing that I could
with one rich breath...and courage,
make a note
shimmery as the sunglazed sea
high as holiest heaven
and as beautiful as a tempest
to shake life;
stop life dead
in

its

tracks

remind you,

shock you into the innocence
of elemental beauty,
freeze you all
sonically breeze you
ironic.
one note,
trained and measured
worth all the wine in water-
I stand here;
No longer awaiting your permission.
Knowingly,
I take my footing,
Breathe...
(and)

Broken Gold Glass



Finding broken gold glass still
Feels like magic now
Memories
of the secret places I've kept my heart
which only he truly knows

Enchased upon my lungs a ruby script
and spun vermillion promises
carried upon every note

a name inscribing, curves around me cursively
his stamp stomping out old orange fires
forging new bluer infernos

My world shattered into golden glass
Beautiful and perfect the sound of this destruction
Diamond heart breaking apart into the rainbows that held it together
Streaming colors
Pure
Now free to find you

And my words;
My words flowed like lava
Melting you like snow beneath fire
Crawling hotly over the lovely unsaid terrain

Violet night broke open
Revealing new stars
to wish upon

clouds
cinders of smashed silver
and atoms of gold
rolled over
leaving
you
&

Grand Central

The city crawls with wheels; itself moves beneath you
Serpents two blocks long breathe people in
Sing their same song- A, E no I but try 3
And emerge, eyes shut, to the light of a night sun
to cool and sleep but keeps it secret
because she says she never sleeps

She found me there at the corner
Standing still on the moving streets of a breathing beast
Holding tight to shifting letters and lines
Numbers like vines
Swing me downtown to bring me up
To meet pigeon swagger keeping the beat

Rhythmically I listen for love in the glistening noise and
constancy of feet-
A needle in a 'Hey'stack
Small Sure True
A glint of pure you illumes a spire
A scortch of fire
And I'm inspired
To Flight
here beneath shadows buildings cast
And statues cast upon buildings
In shadows I cast my own light

And the marble lady just told me
That beauty is old yet ever new
So I throw glitter in the street
In celebration of you


Eyes

Yes we are wise
beyond our eyes
or what they can see
they believe what will be
and have no fear
of what is written

Me, I grasp you
inch by inch
take you in
entirely, you soak me up
feel me from the
sweetened core
Master of my Queendom

but your eyes
tell no lies
though your mind
veils your heart in
slowness
your eyes have rushed inside

now there's nowhere I can hide
not seeing you from within.

Singing Blue

Let me save you some time
Cover myself in the blues
and sing
Oh no baby
Oh yes you will learn
Learn how to play me
To play with me
because you hurt me with jazz
how could we not have words?
Oh no baby
Oh yes
I will teach you
Teach you to play
and no amount of jazz can save you now.
