Salvation In The Stars

.Reading time 2 minutes.
Looking for salvation in the stars
It’s like trying to round some prison bars
As they, adjacent, keep a defense
Til you’re hands and knees in the present tense
And do I confess
My wilderness and impress
Some secret subtlety afar
Oh, the world, how near you are
When you just take a glance
At the vulnerable in my stance
And I wish away
Tomorrow another yesterday
Don’t you see
That you were the ocean to me
And the sea at night
Oh, how it glitters in the moonlight
To reflect your face
Now forever is without a trace
Gone from these hands
I’m on the shore just pacing sand
As you glide effortlessly along another terrain
Have all my past lives been in vain
To bring me to this
A pair of lips that death might kiss
Someday or will
The power of life to kill
All that it breathes air into
And consciousness is quintessentially you
So you can’t lose it
But did I choose it
This marching band
There’s nothing I have really planned
Coz all falls away
And what you leave til another day
Gets left behind
They say I am out of my mind
But I think they’re wrong
I’m too deep in it and that’s my song
Can I hold the tune
I did when you walked in the room
And my heart hammered against my chest
The depth of wisdom that I invest
In you to be all you claim
Now it’s been years and you’re just a name
I click into
Tell me did I ever reach you
Or was it all just empty talk
The way you hold yourself when you walk
Like you’ve been punched
Something hits you and I can feel the crunch
As you double over side to side
But hell if I know you’re still alive
And kicking me somewhere under the seat
Why did heaven have us meet
If it was just to part
And you are the king of my heart

Hormones

.Reading time less than 1 minute.
Is it just my hormones
Making me love you
A perfect match
A patch for two
Or is it something deeper
That we might share
I know that I love you
I know that you care
And when all the wilderness
Lets me go
Will I still be there
At the end of the show
Coz I just wanna hold your hand
And have you feel
The decades of love
With which I cannot deal
As they wrap around
The map of your frame
And I twirl on my fingertips
The headtrip of your name

Dancing With

.Reading time 1 minute.
I’ve got the fear of missing out on stuff
And most of that is love
Coz they’ve all got stars in their eyes
And I’m full of existential why’s 
As Peter dances with me in the club
I may have kept the ticket stub 
As he laughs when I say hi
And I begin to think he’s superfly 
But it could never work coz it’s not the dream
And I’m holding out for what could’ve been
Don’t you think you’d know at first sight
And your smile is kryptonite 
And there’s nothing more to say
Did I adore the way
Your reflection keeps the style
And I’m down for a long while
And I don’t understand why you’re still on my mind
When I thought that had left nothing in kind
And is it wrong to profess my dues
When I’m walking my own shoes
And have the rhythm of soul
And a heart of fire that’s burning with coal
Do you think we could be something still?
Even if you forget I never will

Life Makes Love

.Reading time less than 1 minute.
Life makes love
With the sky, with the sea
With the atoms that make up
The constellations of me
And the design 
Is its own making
It counts ever hair 
And each breath I’m taking
As I find a new way
To express the expanse
And it is as though
We’re all part of a dance
Living and moving 
Breathing and being
Looking through lenses 
And new ways of seeing
And if there ever 
Comes a midnight
Know in your heart
That you’ll be alright
Coz you made it this far
Through forests and trees
Through brambles and flowers
That blow in the breeze
And somehow, somewhere
Someone’s watching over you
If you see it in cinema
Well you’re looking for two

Awesome

.Reading time 2 minutes.
Cheers to you Stephen O’ Brien
You made the days feel like they were flying
When I was stuck in a peculiar hell
And you were the one that I’d tell
Now I’m raising a glass to your sincere
Your beautiful and held dear
With your rugged ways and your intone
We’re just talking on a video phone
And I catch myself then laugh out loud
You are something to be proud
Of now the days are short
You’re something yourself I retort
As we’re held in this glance for a moment or two
There’s just something about you
I wonder if space and time
Would ever repaint your days as mine
And I know you could call this therapy
But you’ve got to know what you mean to me
As I throw asunder all the folds
And creases to be brave and bold
You can’t believe this is all I am
There’s more to me and I know you can
See beyond the apparent face
To the depths of profound Grace 
To the love that’s held between us both
I’d wear you like an overcoat
As you just laugh and crease your eyes
And I’ve got no time for goodbyes
Just the moment that’s held in a stare
I love you coz you were there
And made me feel like I was home
Instead of in a room all alone
I gotta know, you gotta see
What would the days be like if we
We’re to make this something else
I know I’m getting ahead of myself
But you’re magnificent and perfectly prose
And I’d walk down any of your roads
If it meant that I could catch your eye
You’re alright, man, it’s worth a try

Something Starshot

.Reading time 1 minute.














It seems like a strange dream to come true
That some get written while others never do
That you could wish upon a Star
To point you back to what you are
But if you’re looking the skies aren’t telling
So I’m standing in a field and upwards I’m yelling
Why did you strand me on this godforsaken rock
Hurtling through space like something starshot
And time isn’t real or that’s how it seems
The fabric of faith is lit by sunbeams
And you can only measure in line with the dial
The passage of that which has you on trial
But the wrench of separation
Could I switch to a different station
Coz the feeling of this pulverized my spirit
I think I am called but the ears cannot hear it
As it goes in fables
And willing wishes to be able
To be the one
Who shouts to have the pain undone
Oh, the ripping of paper
And all the things that seem to escape her
Do I believe in the girl?
You may as well tell tornados to twirl
Coz it’s their design
And I must accept the part that is mine
To play on the great stage
I rip another strip off of the page

					

	




					
						


		

		

			
Passing Through

We’re only passing through





We’re a whisper on a page





We are the bodies that we grow





And then again to age










We’re the midnight in the summer





When the moon is shining high





We’re the truth between the lines





On the paper where we lie










We’re the justice and the mercy





The all bequeathing love





We’re the hand that writes the heavens





In stars far above










We’re the darkness and the light





The fire we ignite





But among the chaos





I know we will be alright

I guess I’m just a psychopathic stray

And you pierce the veil til I go away

No mention of the charge you have run up

You find the place where you can make a cut

And if man is so fickle as that

And your love can change at the drop of a hat

Then I’m not so sure I want to be a part of

The crossword that you have called love

Cause I can’t figure out what it means

While you run along tripping sunbeams

I wonder why and where you’ve gone

Wish my feelings had not lasted this long

But you are only what I want to hold

An ethereal passing by as I fold

No more permanency than a lightning strike

Just cause it didn’t last didn’t mean you weren’t bright

But I can’t always be waiting for it to hit twice

It was from a distance you lit up my life

And though you may come by in a storm

You can’t dampen the spirit of a heart that is warm

So though I wish to forsake

It all for you cause you make the earth quake

I cannot ignore the fact

That you hurt me bad and you never came back

So sidle on down the road

I see your truck hasn’t slowed

And I will find a peace somewhere within

That you don’t own and you can’t unhinge

Though you may have never meant to trip

I fell hard for you and I was not equipped

For the long, slow, hard ride to my feet

I was not prepared for us to meet

And you are lovely and angelic there

But you can be all that some other where

And illuminate all that surrounds

I won’t be the place your electricity grounds

They say once bitten, then twice shy

What I’m trying to say is goodbye

We can’t always be a push and pull

A driving away and then too full

It’s enough to know that you exist

Somewhere in an atmosphere the stars have kissed

And if you ever do get the chance

Then I mean it when I say I hope you dance

And find whatever source makes your wheels go round

When it is the truth you’ll know the sound

I guess I just did not find it in you

I lost myself cause I wanted to

But a circle always spins back to the start

In the end you never had my heart

Cause it is wild, unbound and free

And you only ever wanted to capture me

But I was not meant to be caged

In a book you wrote as your feelings raged

I am ever still the way I am

I hope that you can understand

Thinking I could let go of you was just fools gold

You are who I am

And I could no more forget you

Than the sun could the stars

For she faces them eternally

Against the blackest backdrop of night

As they stretch to infinity

Tiny pin pricks of light

That signal

More of her own kind

Out there in the great beyond

You walked into the room like a storm inside the sky

And I thought that in that moment my life was completely fly

And you looked just like an angel all white light and hair

I praised God the good that I could just be there

But then the night rained down and the world was full of thunder

I could feel the water rise and I was going under

And was it all worth it, just to know your name

Cause after that experience I could never be the same

And you still shine on in a crazy rebel hue

And I am still in awe of the mightyness of you

But you don’t seem to be quite the same with me

I guess I lost my glory but you kept your mystery

Love is the power that fuels all my doing

And you are the beautiful that I am pursuing

Cause there really is no end to what is eternal real

And there are hearts that you just cannot steal

As you thread the vine once more with rope that is so sweet

And I stay by your side because I just can’t stand the heat

Of moving once inch away from your skin

You are the power that I am within

And we will never be anything but what we are

We are born from the ocean and our soul sits in a star

She’s a star shining in your atmosphere

And I guess I really have nothing to fear

Cause that kind of love is never going to drop

You’ve sown a good harvest, now you reap the crop

But I guess sometimes in my wishful thinking

I wish it was my boat that you were sinking

As we wade out into the oceans deep

But you made a promise that you’re gonna keep

Once, long ago, to a heart that was true

What I want to say is I admire you

I know as sure as the light of day

That I am for you on my way

As sure as the stars shine from the sky

I was made to meet your eye

The way the sea is for the shore

I’m for you and so much more

As the land comes bursting forth

With craggy hillsides greening dirt

Bequeaths an ancient promise told

Your heart was made for me to hold

Your soul was made for me to shine

Where ruby gemstones intertwine

And lay you down once more again

Rest where you can call me friend

Whereupon the daydream first began

As fingers itched to hold your hand

And I bowed low to see you there

Wind whispered secrets through your hair

And left me open, undecided

Uncertainty has not abided

Life calls me to be beautified

So from you I no longer hide

But sentinel to stand on guard

Watch over you when times get hard

The earth has claimed me for its own

Be still for you, unmoving stone

Though rushing waters crowd the deep

The love between us does not sweep

Maybe I was wrong about the weather

Maybe I was wrong about the stars

Maybe I tried to map constellations

Along Earth’s isobars

And are we all just dust

A collection of particles in space

So though we both live and die

Nothing ever goes to waste

And is it all alive

Just a breathing, heaving mass

The universe is in my bones

And this too shall pass

The night comes falling in around me

And I just feel like I am free

As the stars shine bright cascadingly

I wonder who it is I’ll be


For the design is perfect pure

It’s the one thing that I know for sure

And in all of what will endure

You are the perfect ailment cure


Cause loving you is just release

You are the wrinkle that I crease

You’re the one thing that does not cease

In all of what will just decease

It’s ok to fear the darkness, it’s something we all feel

And it may take some time for the scars to truly heal

And though they may torment you as you turn in bed at night

I have seen the stars and it will be alright

There is a forever where horizons never reach

And there is a together where you’re standing on the beach

And there is a demise to all the hate and pain

There is always sunlight just beyond the rain

So don’t hide your face my child as you lie there alone

There is a God of sorts and he will take you home

And he is not all thunder and all harrowing might

He is the thing inside that sets your heart alight
