It is only in our differences can we truly recognize the beauty of the world. This life is much too short, and without diversity we would drown in boredom. Imagine each day to look through the same glasses, the same song over and over again.

Frost
So weak my bones will snap, from the pressure
your touch
I am the bravest of the brave
So scared I might never let you, in
I am the highest of the high
small and short of sight
I will never forget
I am the coldest of the frost
My heart is chilled
my lungs are glossed
Tired and pale in summers heat
tanned and scorched from winters streets
We all have been here
A familiar place
When do we come back,
When i see your face?
Thank you for everything I have
and for everything I have lost
Thank your for all the people
and all of life's costs
Broken prose and tinkling phrase
Words are the keys to the minds maze

I ask you why so much pleasure with matching pain.
I see you in most things, other things i cannot.
Missing the time of day, I wonder what your asking of us
What we must do ourselves, we are silent.
Passive and lax
I wonder when we will listen.
we each have a path and are told of one another's
Understanding our differences
Are we not supposed to observe these things?
we have turned humanity on one another
stabbing and spitting,
We don't want to break line
and call what we see
a culture of sadistic capitulation
and complacency
hard questions are ignored
trust is broken and misinformation is free
We need you we need each other

Do you?
Question everything?
Scrutinize your faith?
Love unabashedly?
Feel subtle loss and change?
Tire from conformity?
Test your boundaries?
Tire of patterns?
Kiss the unexpected?
Seek when you don't like what you find?
Believe in truth?
Trust in facts?
Know the truth?
I have missed a place called home. I am here and so are you.
Cramped in introspection
honestly scared of my reflection
So I have never seen...
immortal in love
seeking a fresh vein
only the sun will wash the pain
the pain
keeps me questioning

Clarity...
steps taken
looking at my receipts of communication
my trail of perception
dancing in the wind
highs and lows floating
stirred in the ice and glass
we connect
honest laughter
surreal surrender
to the most basic of all needs
companionship
wanting to be together and separate
our dialectic is clear
unlike most days
its naturally unnerving
comfortably confusing
however we breathe
not misstepping
without creating
reflecting
and living
happily on a journey
going nowhere and everywhere
I'm happy
nothing is (=) so satisfying
we trade trails
sorrow is easy
pain is calm
pictures are vivid
there is all the time in the world

Dirt
Wood and Iron cutting into the landscape
I though of a different time
where the land was connected to the people
my love moves
I want to touch the tender
love of the earth in another
natural
i need more time
sew more seeds
to understand
all that i have been fighting against
all that i have been fighting for
trust
we will grow together
with my hands
my mind
i will not give up until
there is plenty
for all
until i give more than the world needs
until it overflows into and the hungry are full
and the blind see
and we move as we were intended
I will sew
we will sew
don't forget
come with me
we will put our hands in the dirt together
We only rent the land.
There is only one, don't forget.
One beloved.

BE
Trapped against our nature
Kept away from the beauty of this world
Like it is far away
Locking the beauty of life
Waterfalls and trees that spiral into the sky
And float down the rivers
many are lost
I am a fool of convenience
Taught to constrict out life
Missing the beauty I look for fashion
Trying to recreate all that is natural
Looking to hold the power of thunder in my hand
I don’t know you mother earth
I am a stranger
It was my own choice
I hear the trees fall the look into the eyes of the mystic
I am all at once with you and not you
Please bring me close
I need you
Mother
The valleys are the curve of your hips
And I want to rise to your peaks
Placed in paper-mâché walls
And artificial suns
I approach you and want you to come closer
I have opened my heart and my eyes for the first time
We pile on top of each other
Detaching our selves from nature
Caged in concrete
I miss all of your simple complexities
How can I rejoice you?
I cover my body and cloak my heart
Pad my feet
I am loosing touch with you
Will you forgive me?
I am so callus
We mimic the volcanoes
And try to take all in out control
We are all apart from your beauty
I love you
I hate you
Kiss me
I am the passion
And jealous of your beauty
Maybe I am your mistress
Or I am only a prostitute
Selling my self
When you look at me what do you see?
I am tired of the cluster
Noise and pain
Yet I love it all
breaking my soul
Torn between worlds
One world that we make twain
Will you forgive us
We are not the keepers
We are the visitors
Mostly strangers
Loosing all in order to control the uncontrollable
I am sorry
Please show me your love
I might not see it
God open my heart
So I can feel your breath against my face
Take my robes to I can feel you majesty
Your peace let it be within me
Guide my heart
And let me rest
And live
I
Want to be no more
I
Want to be no more
Us
I want to be no more
I want to be
Want to
Be

God's Funeral
We carry the bodies
Stack them to the sky
I hope we get higher
I’m higher than high
Making a mountain
Collecting the bones
I’m loosing all feeling
Slaves work in droves
Draining the wine
Life’s intoxicating river
We are trying to get higher
From the blood from the sinners
In the name of man
We trample the poor
Pushed to the margins
Material whores
We publish the truth
And ignore all the lies
We are getting higher
Higher than High
Scoff at the intellect
Piss on your reason
Why are you thinking?
True acts of treason
I vomit crude in the forest
As I chop down the trees
I need a bonfire
To burn our disease
The sores are sickening
Only seen without wealth
I don’t see any body
I only need myself
Come to the valley
Climb up the mountain
No more bodies to bury
No more blood in the fountains
Carry my rifle
Bring the holy text
Only I can interpret
This political sex
Don’t worry its all normal
Don’t you be shy
It will all be history
His story not mine
The tree is uprooted
Buried upside down
This mountain of martyrs
With me as its crown
King of the earth
I will march into heaven
I buried my friends
To make my bread leaven
I stepped on the face
On the hearts
and the hands
Of the mothers
fathers and children
That once walked this land
I’m going to God
To glory and love
Don’t worry how I got there
Because I’m the only one
As I ascend to heaven
I questioned my way
But no one stays on track
Without others losing the way
I’m here at the gates
Looking onto the throne
But there are no angels
Ghosts, Jinn’s or stones
I cried for God
Sure he would appear
I cried again
Maybe she didn’t hear
In the fog of the clouds
And the mist of the sky
I thought it was raining
No just tears in my eyes
I looked down on the mountain
And what did I see
The face of God looking up at me
I killed the lamb and slaughtered
My sons, ending the lives of the ones that I loved
I killed God,
and all his prophets
I killed my neighbors
to gain new stock tips
I killed the others,
Whose looks I despised
I kill many mothers
With wandering eyes
I died a thousand times
And a thousand over
But with no God in heaven
And no angels on my shoulders
I was alone with my gold
And my lies and my book
Alone with my hands and the bloody brook
I was alone with my truth
And alone with my deeds
My murdered family
And my uprooted tree

Make this my last...
dance
without thinking
always moving
the essence
of passion
of care
love
and charisma
how I stumble
in thought
and careless
with words
lift me to the sky
without hesitation
I need peace
Still I move
hypnotized
I am truth
and the lie
maybe fools
are enticed by me
knowing that one day
they will become old
and I will move on
and stay the same
how frightening
and honest
there is only one promise
carry your will
sing for me
move for love
and I will play
on and on
change your steps
I will sing for you
and follow
a dance is peculiar
and is every thing artistic
but never controlled
or contained by art
in one breath
we are together
and apart
be swept up
carry me softly
I will lie on your shoulders
like a silk scarf
caught in the wind
beauty is in the eye
love is in the heart
truth is in the world
music is universal
finish this dance with me
for we have already begun
will you?
My Beloved
It entered my pores
Filled my eyes
Discouraged my reason
But I never stopped
thinking for you
The sun leaned on my neck
Pinched my eyes closed
Dared me to scream
But I made not a word
Of selfish pain
deep was my concentration
The wind pushed my center
Made every breath labor
Scattered my thoughts
But I never forgot
My direction
towards you
Everyday I wake
sometimes dazed
I lay on the ground
Looking up for you
My love will not sway
I am yours
I don’t need a book
Or any precious metal
Because of my love for you
I need no physical connection
I wonder when my companion
Will come
But I’m not in a hurry
I am patient
Tireless and restless
Somber and stern
Like a child
Wide eyes and open heart
Like a adult
Perceptive and cautious
You know my contradictions
And my intentions
This will never end
Time means nothing
with you my love

Blush
When I fell down, I saw you.
Drifting between dreams and songs
Revealing the truth as true as blue.
Eyes distorted by prescription reflectors,
I’m missing the time as perceptions preceptor,
Watch as I rise like mercury’s center
Heat pacifies all memories that enter
Tears made me blind to the light that I held
Time blurred the lines and my thoughts...what I felt
You were the answer to all of my needs
The push pull of wants will never take leave
I stagger, pause and change
My pace my thoughts my heart my brain
This space between the words
And before the print, taste this thought
From a once lost prince
I was true when I fell and called your name
It made me blush now in the same vein
Heart body and mind
Words can’t describe
My pain
of losing you

I am the water
I want to release your thirst
Clean the dirt from your wounds
Soak your tired feet
Wash the days that surround you
Hold you while you swim
Carry you on my back
Feed the plants in your garden
Course through your valley
Massage the roof and lay you down to sleep
Travel over every inch of your body
I know your every curve
I am a part of you
Together we are Singular and multiple
Taking your form
We are
Bliss…..
Follow the moon
We Wax and wane
I am no mystery you can see through me
Roll me across your tongue
I know you are thirsty
I will satisfy you
I am the water
