Rattle In Your Chest

Rattle In Your Chest
So, it goes, each day
Held back, but on display
A prize leashed, your fingers creeping
And they hold, and they close
Around my neck
Drumming beats of slights on repeat
Counted later, before sleep
Not sheep but fists
So, it goes, each every day
You're held back, but put on display
Counting scars, afraid
Held back, but on display
Until today
I am free, I am an army
My eyes are clear, the veil is torn
You are so small
You need me to breathe
I'm not your lungs,
Without me you die, drowning
So, it goes, each every day
You're held back, but put on display
Hear that sound
I'm the rattle in your chest
I am the spade, tossing dirt on your grave
Hear the rattle in your chest
You need me to breathe
You’ll die drowning
Tossing dirt on your grave
Counting scars, afraid
Held back, until today
Until today
Until today
Until today
This is your grave

One Spark

One Spark
The golden bowl is cracked
The calvary’s not coming
Wasted in night
No new day dawning
The white hats are dead
Grown grey with waiting
Lost in memory
They can't save you
Each drop of rain
Dreams of the flood
A feather’s reach
The sky above
A single heartbeat moves the blood
In every breath
A wind will rage
In every stone
A mountain waits
Never separate bound by fate
One spark becomes all flames
Stand still
Others will drive you
Down darker paths
Ending in nothing
A universe
Grows in a moment
Waiting, wanting
Give it new life
Each drop of rain
Dreams of the flood
A feather’s reach
The sky above
A single heartbeat moves the blood
In every breath
A wind will rage
In every stone
A mountain waits
Never separate bound by fate
In every breath
A wind will rage
In every stone
A mountain waits
Never separate bound by fate
One spark becomes all flames
Each drop of rain
Dreams of the flood
A feather’s reach
The sky above
A single heartbeat moves the blood
In every breath
A wind will rage
In every stone
A mountain waits
Never separate bound by fate
One spark becomes all flames
Becomes all flames
One spark becomes all flames

As Long As Earth Meets Sky
No one knows dear
Where the story ends
How many dragons slain
Or if the hero lied
Rudderless we drift
And float upon the black seas
We roll with all our gold turned to brass
Love’s heyday long but passed
Hold fast
Your journey's just begun
The universe will know
All that you've said and done
A day will come
When wood and sail are gone
And I will fall away
Untethered
No need to fear
As long as earth meets sky
I will surround you
With starlight
Hold fast
Your journey's just begun
The universe will know
All that you've said and done
Tales they'll tell
Songs sung by lesser men
Huddled by weaker lights
While you are burning bright
No one knows dear
Where the story ends
And through it all dear
My heart will guide your hand
Beating within your breath
A charm against all death
No one knows dear
Where the story ends
No one knows

Follow Me Down

Follow Me Down
Waiting eyes in yellow
I told you twice you see
Waiting eyes in yellow
I fly high, believe
Oh, follow me down
Animals in league
Oh, follow me down
Bleeding time between
Hearts and minds lay fallow
Waiting for a seed
What will grow is quiet
Full of sighs and teeth
oh
oh, oh oh
oh
oh, oh oh oh
Oh, follow me down
Animals in league
Oh, follow me down
Bleeding time between
Follow me down
Follow me down

The Origin

The Origin
When did this begin, where's the origin
Are you lost here too?
Sometimes, I gather what is mine
It's all slipping away
Where did this begin, when's the origin
Can we see it through?
Sometimes, as we climb
We shimmer and we burn.
Four winds blow in this field of gold
I wait, overcome
Loops in constant without shame
Are you certain of their names
Four winds blow in this field of gold
I wait for an understanding
Loops in constant without shame
Ending only to begin
Where did it all begin? When did things begin?
In the past? In the future? Who can say where it began?
Will we ever be capable of knowing the origin of all things?
Or is there still an origin before that? And before that? And before that?
Do beginning and end even exist? Or is it all connected in an endless loop?
And one "beginning" and "end" just different words for one and the same moment?

Unsettled

Unsettled
False faces
Chatter in the dark
Impatient
Waiting for a spark
Uncertain
Living with the lies
A question
Begging for some quiet
Pharaoh at rest
She is watching
Killing silence
Hail to the empress
She is shining
Softly violent
Unsettled
Living with the grief
A yearning
For some small relief
Painful
Something new grows
Distorted
Time to let it show
Pharaoh at rest
She is watching
Killing silence
Hail to the empress
She is shining
Softly violent
False faces
Chatter in the dark
Impatient
Waiting for a spark
Uncertain
Living with the lies
A question
Begging for some quiet
Living with the grief
Need some small relief
Something new grows
Time to let it show

Silent Sailor

Silent Sailor
Falling further north in a dream
I took your hand
The constant stars Polaris chained
She moves and breathes
Remains unchanged
Fixed and firm here on Earth
Pinned to land
Inconstant heart love is feigned
Dies and dreams
Red in the whites of your eyes
Here in the fields of the green skies
Silent sailor
Timeless stranger
Black is the color you keep
Here in the depths of your lost sleep
Passing danger
Danger
Wheeling overhead heaven shakes
On my command
The stars align
Spell your name
Shine seethe
Light my way
Without a voice here on Earth
Fading fast
Worlds collide memory fades
Dust and screams
Red in the whites of your eyes
Here in the fields of the green skies
Silent sailor
Timeless stranger
Black is the color you keep
Here in the depths of your lost sleep
Passing danger
Red in the whites of your eyes
Here in the fields of the green skies
Silent sailor
Timeless stranger
Once I had hope bittersweet
Now I'm here chained in the dark dreams
Silent stranger
Violent stranger
Silent stranger
Violent stranger

Tied Up In You

Tied Up In You
So vicious
Hidden
Tied up in you
Affliction
Addiction
This heart is bruised
No poetry
Not for me
I prefer the truth
Secret self
Takes control
You'll follow too
Two of a kind
We're blind
To our damnation
Wait
For a sign
To lift and guide us
No one knows the secret tides
That writhe
In our bloodstreams
Look for my face in the crowd
And drown

Dear Reader
Dear Reader
To anyone it might concern
I found the bleeder
Cauterized it with a sterile burn
It stopped beating
This chapter's coming to an end
But keep reading
There's a question that I must amend
Is there nothing I can say
To make you come around my way
Dear reader
The coffin and the killing jar
A box of cedar
The size of a human heart
So dear reader
Then if there's nothing that I've overlooked
Then I'll leave her
Between the pages of this book
Is there nothing that I can do
You know I'm still in love with you
Is there nothing I can say
To make you come around my way
Is there nothing that I could do
You know I'm still in love with you
Dear reader
This is my final scrawl
The make believers
Will die unhappily after all

Latency
Lace on long limbs
And veiled eyes
Gloves cover hands
Nameless, shameless
Reddest sweet lips
Serpents lie
Widest of smile
Uncharted, enchanting
The guts and the glory
Rub and shame
These slippery kisses
Not for me, not me
Ivory skin
Gemstone eyes
Bluest deep sea
Languid, decanted
Flickering flame
Dance for me
Light all my way
Changing, enraging
The guts and the glory
Rub and shame
These slippery kisses
Not for me, not me
It's liquid and lovely
Curse and blame
Just drip on my darling
Not for me, not me
Lace on limbs
Veiled eyes
Gloves cover hands
Not for me, no not for me
Reddest lips
Serpents lie
Widest of smile
Not for me, no not for me
