Message for Knots

2005-4-3

and sounds this voice into the night
to hearts that hear, through hearts that fight
to this love of mine who cries in pain
hear this voice, let hope remain
I love you Molly, to pray for thee
I'd hold you there, I'd set you free
ease your petals, and your stem
this note is ours,
please hear me sing

Arabian Diamond

2005-4-3

the world twists a turn
and there it burns
where least expected
where most rejected

the sun shoots a flare
and there it splays
careful, cauterized
careless, hemorrhaged

the love shares a kiss
and there it soothes
where most cardinal
where least rejected

Care

2005-3-12

Flare out across lonely worlds
Oh ye fibers of Red Sea
Take with you what you will
and keep all that you are

Span the sands of twilight air
Oh ye fibers of sought needs
Take with you what you will
and keep all that will be

Thrash the grounds of former hands
Oh ye fibers of longings
Take with you what you will
and keep what is beauty

Watch droplets spread above you
Oh ye aura of fibers
Keep with you what you will
and don't keep me too far

Share those drifting satin threads
Oh ye fair, unravelled soul
Keep with you what is yours
and keep me there to mend

Philosophical Studies

spinning wildly
a wayfaring web
a wandering sojourner
land to sea
ocean to shore
the reality is water and dirt
the glory is organization
a wonderment of tears
a silence of touch
a touch of compassion
the quiet of sensation
together
see the world
see dirt and water
art and life
the minds of acquaintanceship
we are not alone
except in love

Holour

2005-2-19

Words Words Words!
I speak a tongue none ever knew
I form the sounds romantics woo
And while I'm here I cannot see
Blinded by lights I sought to be
Yet there she is, looking at me

Time! Trust! Change!
I am what none have ever been
I built ideals to rest within
And here I am while words appear
Writing in sounds few care to hear
Yet she translates, my love, so near

What You Saw Is What I Am

2005-2-17

I simply missed the eyes that saw me...

Now
You think yourself a monster
a being to destroy
the precious morals and timeless values
of a lost, forgotten little boy

But
There was always that deepness
a truth you need to see
the precious morals and timeless values
are perhaps, just the things that saved me

Hourglass

2005-2-17

Float
Translate through space
through time
Bathe in nebulas
nebulous expanses
minds

Drift
Travel by chance
by luck
Sail through stormy seas
tempestuous stardust
souls

Choose
Sojourn through ends
through glass
Hold by lovely gaze
infinite "I love you's"
loves

Existential

2005-2-8

Fractal ice, my touch
sensation for withdrawl
and return
Thermo dynamics
a digit is melting
acclimate

Hearty spring, your desert
sentiment for crying
single drop
Liquid dynamics
a dune-rise is smoothing
undisturbed

Lucid night, the heavens
desire for gazing
astrology
Starlight dynamics
an aeon in counting

Embrace 2

2005-1-6

A sun can be seen
but it will not blind

These rays will burn
only in a loving soul

A world of raging waves
a blue sky in the snow

Light refracting waters
flow behind the trees of life

Ice covered peaks
and chills up my spine

Some place unseen
the dark side of a moon

A third celestial body
a size-shifting orb

A cosmicly glorious scene
and a face to grace it
