A new morning
orbits outwards
dust paper
and ink
flesh over bone
there appears
hope even within
darkness
I can look backwards
and not wish my forest
a single leaf

On Hearing Voices
I've never heard a voice
but for the slow bleating heart
thumping within
the thoracic cavity
but for the slow bleating heart
thumping within
the thoracic cavity

Letters On A River
Around the gates I opened fast
some letters on a river passed
through fancied worlds
of built up sand
it mattered not
what I had planned
No levees held no fix
could change the path
the letters rearranged
No matter what we might envision
the river makes its own decision

We Know Our Faces Better Than Ourselves
Home is comfortable
we know it well
and observing corners
here and there
we show and tell
We know our faces
better than ourselves
Eyes rise and eyes fall
but see no planks
inside the wall
and note no right design
so I look inward when I can
to find in balance what I am
because those things up on my shelf
I knew them better than myself
we know it well
and observing corners
here and there
we show and tell
We know our faces
better than ourselves
Eyes rise and eyes fall
but see no planks
inside the wall
and note no right design
so I look inward when I can
to find in balance what I am
because those things up on my shelf
I knew them better than myself

We are on an Island of Time
We are on an island of time
unable to escape our memories
for the forgetting sea
Shall I try to
erase what's done
and go forward?
Or sip the past
like aging wine
the sweeter it seems
as time goes by
unable to escape our memories
for the forgetting sea
Shall I try to
erase what's done
and go forward?
Or sip the past
like aging wine
the sweeter it seems
as time goes by

You were just you
I saw you sparkling
and I wanted to sparkle too
so I faked it
but I didn't know what I was
doing
Then something unexpected
happened
A little flame of my own grew
because of the things that you do
I don't think I'll ever lose it
but I'm almost afraid to use it
because it's something so
unfamiliar I don't understand it
But it makes me feel stronger
and I know that it's true
and now I can be me
because you were just you.

No Season Like This
My flesh wound bleeds profusely
and I call the sun a malignant thing...
Truly, desperation has gripped his soul
Yet, it was he who grabbed its black wings
and drove down to the sea's violent foam
while the dove soared over his head
in ecstasy with the wind.
Awaiting the ebbing of the tide, he caught a glint of sunlight on the mudbank
and he knew he was there.

The Heather Mist
like a butterfly airily tiptoes
over petals from a fallen rose
my beloved's name walks gently across my lips
transposed into shimmering echoes of forever
<3
