Crystal Cave

I give you too much power she says
And she is right
But I don't understand why
You weaved a spell around my heart
My magic is too tainted to break it
To weakened
I am growing old and you are growing up
over me
I chant one last incantation...

Circuit Bored

Deep down you still Love me
The Gods whisper it in my ears at night
The machines speak it to me when they burn electricity
I push the button and my invention springs to life
I have spent three life times sketching
Building Perfecting this idea
Science is no fiction
No mystery
Labratory blues is what I got
Mad with power
with discoveries

Fire in the Sky

A spoonfull of sugar
Warm drinks
These December days
The dark comes on faster
Stars show their faces
The Moon slivers
Shivers
Hands in pockets
Red rockets
undone projects
City sidewalks that lead to your door
One day maybe you will let me back in

For the Devil to Erase

It does the impossible
Twin suns orbit around and around
Pulled by unreal gravity
Carrying weight of a thousand heartbreaks
We dream dreams of a different kind
Like twin suns orbiting a heart
The light turns green Some one blows a horn
I put the car in gear and stop day dreaming
I am sure somewhere right now
You were thinking of me too

Seaweed

I carry my heartaches around with me
On holidays and weekends I display them
like medals on my chest
Your's is the largest and shines like the North star
What am I going to do now
I wake at night from dreams
That I think are reality
and it all crashes in
waves breaking on the shore
washing me out to sea
Where mermaids pull me under
and
drown me with their kisses

It Was All in the Cards

Your face is everywhere Making me stupid Making a fool of me Rapid fire questions Keeping me up at night A vacation a romance A salutation Words and sentences run together My soul is black

Books and Pens

I write this with knowledge Too much knowledge Tears are my currency And they pay for everything Now the real story is out there Out there I am ugly and like Bukowski I have one that got away I write this with knowledge Powerless Unresolved

Sick With It

I'm not going to climb trees get on my knees Beg please I'll just be pissed About the chances we missed Fuck it all to shit

Boo!!

Last night
your ghost shook its chains and
woke me three times from a dream
what the fuck was that all about
did my Gypsy curse backfire
and fall on my sacred head instead
failing like all my best laid plans
call me names
forget my face
take all traces of me and just erase

Stream

The sky paints pictures
broad strokes of color
Oil and water
Acid rain
Eat organic as much as I can
to clear out the system
Cerebus guards the gate
watching for escapees
Missing is tiring work
loving just as much
Laying head to pillow
Dreaming of hearts gone bye

I will not

Edit myself
to please others
when the Muse
reaches down from the heavens
and touches me on the shoulder
I must put it all down
the subject chooses me
I am a slave to my work
I will not bend to others will
I am not a reed in the wind

Love

This perpetual emotion
it needs no fuel to run
no engine to move
cleansed in the heart of a dying star
it rises from the ashes
this forever running river
it can not be dammed
washes over everything
this galactic circus
with interstellar clowns
and constellation jugglers
all
rises from ashes
born again and again
no matter how many times it's stabbed in the chest

Soft Wood

Buried three miles underground
Burning in the heart of the sun
plastic conduits carry wires
That pass information
to super computers smaller
than the nail on a thumb
sharper than the nail through the palm
Crucified for half the story
Scream now in anger
Sleep now in memories
memories are what make us what we are

Luck or Chance

Four leaf clover
Turn it over
Need more good luck
one last fuck
flip a coin
Head in the sand
Tail toward the sun
Three sneezes and a blessing

Little Socks

I watch you in your sleep
Stretching
making little faces
Tiny toes and fingers
so sweet in your slumber
the one perfect thing I have done
The one thing that has made me happy
After being so sad

Ring around the Moon

Whiskey drunk
Like bears on frost covered
moonlit forest floors
hunting prey
machine driven monsters light up
Camp fire tent town
I can smell the honey
Heating up the bloodstream
roasting fish
Searing flesh
boiling love in broken bottles

Changing Table

You have brought me joy
and dirty diapers
I sing songs that I make up on the fly
to keep you from crying
we talk about birds in the trees and bumble bees
fish in the sea and the smiles you bring me
that first drive with you in the car
was white knuckle stress
every other driver the enemy
I can't stand to be away from you for more than ten minutes
I just didn't know what I was missing
to be a father is more that I expected

and I sing
"is everything o.k. is everything alright
of course it is cause daddy is holding you tight
is everything o.k. is everything fine
yes it is because you are all mine"
