Mark the time
8/11/2023 04:43 AM
So many ways to say
The needle's in the hay
He's sure, but not quite
Out of place, his own pace
Bells ringing, nobles singing
Prancing, hand wringing
And what are we waiting for

Congregating, trite gestures
Unfollow the beaten pastures
Same old song and dance
But forget it, mark the time
Uptempo, downbeat trance
Buddy has a new rhyme
A million faces in a forever war
And what are we waiting for

Not yet dreamt
7/15/2023 07:22 PM
Feet in the sand
Loose identity
With a firm hand
I see the things
That make me, me
And I don't see
What I have not yet dreamt

Eye in the fire
7/16/2022 01:05 PM
Eye in the fire reflects within
Going down the list, next of kin
Are you next? Too soon to call
Unsteady, the writing's on the wall

Drape a tarp over
Tie the loose ends
Hide it out from sight
Or rise up with the bends

'Cause it was I in the fire,
reflecting within
Point A to point B
As wide as the Aegean

Part-time in a name
Other times, am I sane?
The ground shook for a second
The sky drops down at night
No one else sees that, I reckon
Take with it what you might
Each prop given up at checkout
Loosely held and spinning
A figurine dances on its pole
Keys jangle as I find the keyhole
Despite the respite, I keep it light
Spitting image of what came before
But in different clothes, ever so slight
A kink, a word, a quirk
Human suit, requires some assembly
Scratch and claw, I made it work
Identity sold separately

The real you
11/12/2021 06:57 AM
Look at me straight
The mellow and the charm
Not everything works out the same
Use it or lose it, but do no harm

You have yours and I me mine
Who's off, and who seems fine
Do you have trouble
Seeing the real you

You
You called my name
It felt alive and new
Now I see through
And so it's where I came to
See the real you

Understand
Whence you came
On high where eagles land
The world in your hand
But a broken wing
Needed a plan
Now we see through
And so it's where we came to
See the real you

From the sands of time
Windswept and weary
Your last step takes you down
To a dark river, dreary
Heavy the head
Who wears the crown
Til a spell knocks it off
Drift along the riverbed
Wherever you go
The past follows
There in the shallows
You and your shadows

Not lost, but not found
But I follow the sound
Now you see through
And so it's where you came to
See the real you

Take The Fall
4/19/2021 07:26 PM

It's a long way down
To rock bottom
Yet the best place to start
Seeing what I need to see

It's a long way down
And I see others around
Lose their footing
Wandered out of town

They know others won't follow
And that's alright, it's not bad
For it doesn't appeal to the hollow
The easily sinkable fad

The cards speak
Of a different time
Beyond the real
Before our time
Centered around you
Raised into view

I know not what I seek
Except what the cards speak
My face on the cover
One side and the other
Same story, different people
Beyond the real
The stage we walked stood still
Wearing your guilt, joy, fame
Shame, victory, & every name

Suppose you don't see?
Wondering, as we wander
Keeping a thought buried
Or pulled close and carried
Until it's hot to the touch
And you can hold it no longer

Call and response
9/23/2020 06:25 AM
Rising from the earth
To the surface we began
As faces melted in the sand
Where does the energy go
When we hold on too tight
Slips through our fingers
Gone as quickly as it came
Absent at first light
Returned to the primal ether
We let things flow, without a name
No two nights were the same

Refocus
Less on what I see
Than what is unspoken

Look again before you miss it
Those honest mistakes
Creating barriers between us
They can't be entirely wrong
Stretching as far
As the day is long

Without you, there is no I
Let alone who, where, when, and why
All but a clever dream
Contrived in a dark hall
Where in the sky I aimed too high
Rained down like a fireball
Dove deep down, crashed and burned

I learned through flight
Before I earned my stripes
Now you're nowhere in sight
All I see, a pale blue light
I'm blind to your ruse
Because I choose, in my refrain
To remain sane, seeing for what it is

Refocus
Less on what I see
Than what is set free
