Make it So

Lucky, if you are
to bask so naturally
in her voice that soars
among the angels;
capable of capping
the ends of an infinite spectrum
Please don’t wait for her to ask you;
Is your place with me
where you mean to be?
Won’t take long to know
Back and forth apart
your frozen hearts
must bear the bounds of time and space
Forget those worries for the worst
Do not hesitate
to dance around so bashful
In your state, sedate
before ebb and wait
Let not
time slip by
on either side

Fool

Don’t suffer, it’s colder, enfolded by a scentless mask
Slowing to a standstill, watchdogs sit cloaked in the night
Coerce ill wishes to spring, slipstream thoughts rewarding
Righteous dregs, of a consummate life
Bargaining freedom from the grips of
God?
Lose your mind, I don’t mind playing puppeteer
God?
Or drowning gayly in adoration
God?
Fools of masquerade parading smiles ear to ear
God?
A deafening cackle as we
Second to none, are the cronies dressed for pardon?
Marauding souls, useless in the corridor
Bound, impeached, fawn and beseech to no end
Steeped in a desperate call
Bargaining freedom
Bless the hand who feeds
Moreover it’s guaranteed: don’t follow any signs
Bearing witness, I’ll choose ignorance
God?
Lose your mind, I don’t mind playing puppeteer
God?
Or drowning gayly in adoration
God?
Fools of masquerade parading smiles ear to ear
God?
A deafening cackle as we
Substance,
Lose your mind, I don’t mind playing puppeteer
Substance,
Or drowning gayly in adoration
Substance,
Fools of masquerade parading smiles ear to ear
Substance,
A deafening cackle as we breed

Shades of Blue

Get up and wash yesterday off your face
Tomorrow’s winds will know me better
Feathers golden, blue and bold
one day you’ll perch upon my shoulders
Is it you that
has the master plan?
Won’t someone say it’s in their trusty hands
Silent bug on the wall,
do you perceive
every danger to you
in and out of every day?
But you can’t earn your wings
breathing on the window pane
There is a monkey on your back that
shows teeth and a smile when he wants to attack
That meager plume will take flight
when the colours start to come in
Operating with such ease and grace
they’d never guess the shades of blue beneath that face
breathing on the window pane
Now who knows the effortless ways?

Witnesses, We

Caught again thinking in loops
but you found a new way out
Lift your eyes
from walking backwards
in rewind, biding time
It’s the golden words that hurt
when they’re left behind
when it’s time to
oh, to show what’s wrong from right
Have we learned again?
Can we begin?
Can’t you see
what’s on repeat
night after night
on TV
I have watched you travel so
unassured
into the fight
So confounded by what’s been done
once before
twice again
It’s the endless golden words that fall short
It’s the golden words that hurt
when they’re left behind
when it’s time to
Oh, to show what’s wrong from right
Have we learned again?
Can we begin?
I have watched you travel so
unassured
into the fight
So confounded by what’s been done
once before
twice again
It’s the endless golden words that fall short

A secret for all
A secret for everyone to hear,
to see, laid out
in plain sight
Undecidedly unexplained
But understood to a degree
and then some
It’s easy feeling left out in the know
And the world, it hums
Don’t be so hard on yourself
If it feels like it’s a set up
that’s because it is
But for who and why is up to you
Hidden between each
word and line
So follow close
and watch what’s left behind them
Much more to sense when
you use all five
Sometimes there’s more to the nose
than what’s left for the eyes
It’s easy feeling like you’re in the know
And the world, it hums
Don’t be so hard on yourself
If it feels like it’s a set up
that’s because it is

Hard to Say

Treed by the hounds
just for looking out
It’s such a drag to carry around
all that hate to concentrate on (The strain, it’s true)
all the time
in all the ways you know
Constrained by disdain
The foreground is all lit up
but the backdrop is all I can see
There’s something wrong with this
but it’s hard to say
Romanticized enemiy’s eyes
It’s hard to look away
and see the hidden cost we all pay
Oh, what a way to be in pain (Comfortably unaware and voluntarily ignorant)
Just asking once again (This pain)
who’s misleading the way? (This pain)
The foreground is all lit up
but the backdrop is all I can see
There’s something wrong
Do you know where the money comes from?
And where it goes?
