A Painting

standing in the golden valley, holding a glowing body
next to me, all that my eyes can see
are the stars so many planets their eyes can see me
though I am armed with a gun I must go far
away
slingshot your eyes to the end when you land take a look
all of this space all this time but we're all out of love
though my spaceship's yawning, still my body's walking
so far from home, still I am so close
to the stars they're shining, a carpet of light so blinding
all I will need is this glowing body with me
with me
slingshot your eyes to the end when you land take a look
all of this space all this time but we're all out of love
we live so long we don't realize, we're alive
try to disguise the things we keep inside until they die
grasping for something just out of reach, it's underneath
then we find we don't even recognize our own two eyes
our own two eyes

solitude

to the sea, it's not as easy as it seems
we're a shipwreck in the trees
one hundred years
through the greatness and the madness it bears
golden fish swim in a circle
will your attitude reflect your solitude
reflecting eyes, deflects the truth as well as lies
you've only heard, the world to you is just a word
one hundred years
through the loss of joy and all of those near
a poison heart sows only poison
will your attitude reflect your solitude

A Maze of Death

sun goes down who's fairer I
might cast a stone from time to time
through crooked trees that spread and age
through valleys wide and mountain range
at ocean arms when weather that
repulsing and evaporating lash
the narrow fangs who claw through time
the beauty just themselves to find
life as a cactus facing the sun
thought you could hold me but look at me run
spirit of 'jandro with me today
he left a long time ago but I still can play
life as a cactus
facing the sun

dreams

woke up in a dream
surprising my eyes, surprising all the things I've seen
it was you and me
together laughing about how funny life can be
now I know,
just what it takes to make a garden grow
as we were walking down the hall
I couldn't stop my fall
at the thought I don't belong
like being tucked between the sheets
of our hopes and our defeats
turning all night long
how easy it seems
how very easy, how very easy it all seems
but oh no,
it's not all elevator music scenes you know
how I hope,
I never again will ever come this close
when they laugh,
at the joke of your life you can always laugh right back
as we were walking down the hall
I couldn't stop my fall
at the thought I don't belong
like being tucked between the sheets
of our hopes and our defeats
turning all night long

Despair Puff

please, don't leave
anything behind
not even
your fingerprints, on my mind
please don't leave
anything behind
you'll lie down
watch the clouds
close your eyes
hear the sounds
tell me, do you like me
does it matter if you're like me
tell them, do you like them
will it matter if you're like them
well

Cooly Fooly

the air slips through my fingers like water i
fly through the water like air
escaped from the lips of danger and weaving
my words into snares
we try our whole lives to stay away
from the other side
maybe one day
we'll cross that line
