Perfection

I wonder if the words feel
the weight of all my expectations.
Is this finally perfection
framed in pixelated pages?

I made the stars glitter.
Like Pharaoh kept the seasons,
and Venus was his throne.
A dance of words and phrases.

Each insecurity built like
a house of cards for me to live in.
I stutter and stop, reliving
ages in the moment of failure.

Rogue thoughts, Comets.
An impersonal universe to Understand.

Tomorrow or Yesterday

Sometimes it feels like it was just yesterday
when the whole world stopped.
Sometimes it feels like it was just yesterday
that someone pull the rug out.

From here to there the paths are all clear.
But not my tomorrow or yesterday.
All I know is there will be love.

Sometimes it feels like it was just you and me
The only things in the ocean
Sometimes it feels like it was just yesterday
that you saved me.

From here to there the paths are all clear.
But not my tomorrow or yesterday.

Never This Alive

Gentle broke, in unknown constants
the sphere above the mountain
come to see me, I said to my self.

Crested with ice, debris of ancient storms,
reflecting the light of the crystalline back.
All nature is full of self knowing.

Stillness never moves, until it is gone,
Mountains exhale.
Expectation gone one more day

Dawns were never this alive.

Not Alone

Kept the cold in my bones
let you melt me in my home
waited for the winter to return
in this world I'm not alone, alone, alone.

Drank the water, learned the song
washed in the river til the pain was gone
waited for the winter to return
in this world I'm not alone, alone, alone

Geometry of Heaven

Let us talk of places we'll never go
define the Geometry of Heaven
and in the space of a shape we'll see
the light that never was where
our feet are stuck on the ground.

This is not a dream, just an intangible thing.
Like being heart-to-heart never ring-to-ring.

Hold Them Still

Higher then I've ever been
on everything you've given
and I'm wondering how I'm
ever going to get down
(not that I'd want to)

And, you float and flit
around my head, in words
and memories I can't deny
or hold them all still

This is a dream I'm living
with you in this house
I'm complete.

I've never worn

Don't wanna live like a blue bird
always looking to change color
just want to fly like a sparrow
where all the clouds are just
mountains to climb.

Won't you take me home tonight?
I just wanna know somewhere to belong.
It has to be a home I don't know
because of all the ones I've found
I've never fit in.

Nothing like the history I've  told
won't you say, "Come home"?

This might be the change of clothes
to give me a different color.
Maybe all the colors of the rainbow
I've never worn.
