Su Sonrisa

 Sunrise dance for me
Will I ever love beyond the limits
To know myself and stand in love
Can I walk there, will I walk alone

This meadow a sanctuary
A garden forever
Watch it rise up morning golden
Blossom whisper in my quaking heart
Across the thoughts of the day, graceful, easy

Sunrise dances inside my spirit
Performing the morning itself
Singing gentle harmony I give thanks
Brushing across the living garden
Pouring daydreams into love the world craves
I simply paint the way with too many words
Drawing laughter and embrace

I am cherished I grow and grow
A world fully wonderful
Dancing forward to exist purely at day
Spinning toward time's gentle care
Pushing it to yesterday's first shimmer of light
When the melody slowly formed
In the presence of the sun
A garden in forever
A blossom step, lips kissed, heart fed

Ending totentanz

 Ghost dance for me 
For noone else will
This ground has become a realm
A floor in infinity
Watch it sparkle midnight mild
Phantom scratch
Across the floor graceful
Wooden and dusty
Haunted and heavy

The ghost dances up my spine
And across the dawn
howling with the silent chorus
Scratching across the wooden floor
Pouring noightmares out into the weary world
I see it move side to side
Drawing shadows that whine and collide

I am bewitched
A world fully supernatural
Dancing backward to exist purely at night
Spinning back in time's loose embrace
Pushing it back to yesterday's last flicker of light
When the music slowly formed
In the absence of the sun
A floor in infinity
A phantom step

Ribbons at the wheel

 The dog drove us all over the lowlands of the city
Sour tangerines, algae covered concrete slabs along unpleased frowning open sewers
Roadworks men potbelly and low roller gut making the shovel lean look healthy
My dog's foot reaches the clutch and changes gear
He slowly turned down side street that led out of town.

The most patient animal in the world.
No exits, but that's just life.
Road cones in the middle of the orad and half eaten sandwiches on the dash.
We coasted into an intersection.
Soon we'd be home.

Robbery, Dusk and getting out of trouble

 Three of us there were
sat in handcuffs
Cops had just left us there
beside the broken lorry

The neighborhood street-
was bathed in a succulent dusk to savor
Streetlights still didn't outshine-
the remnants of a sunset

Cool purple reds and blues
Evening's temperature coming down
A large plump pale woman in a swim suit
Explained how me and two others had robbed her neighbor

We looked out from the broken lorry trying to look innocent
Pale blue dusklight, we were waiting to be taken away
But it went on like an outdoor tribunal
The large woman then started telling the police we were saints

Without warning the large woman stood on an inflattable raft
And slid off down the stream that was forming over the perfect grass.
We were let off and given a ride back to our home
Where our parents scolded and withheld pudding

The curiosity you curse

 Optimism moving forward
Tax and smiles
Smacked across the face
Buck yourself up

Beg to grin not permitted
To take the edge off
Life gets too serious
A smile makes me think

World full of opposition
Those adversaries I created myself
People put in their place
Optimism moving up

Looking back at a strange angle
Not knowing you at all
Imagining I know you by heart
Your underlying disgust

Me? Not fitting into this world
Sticking out like a sore thumb
looking a few seconds too long
A strange foreigner he is... 

And yet that smidgeon of curiosity 

The dead ocean of deception

 When you become nothing
The way I have aspired.
The world swallows you whole.
I grow inspired, but on you there's a toll.
A flooding horrid mire!

Your eyes only see darkening shade,
Dulling Sparks of life's new beginnings.
Feeling begins to fade.
Yet panic cannot be evaded.

In the cold water that scares your heart.
Uncertain underneath, creatures wriggle.
You kick and struggle sanity falls apart,
In the depths of the dark.

Not only to survive,
To resist this watery end.
To feel warmth again.
Deep in deception.

Even in the struggle,
In your personal life failure and unease.
You discover new kinds of emptiness.
Each one a temperature, all freezing.

The dim light beneath heavy clouds,
That crowd the top of this dead ocean.
The icey water that holds you,
All life's reminders and everything at stake.
Dreadful alarm that asks you to wake.

Even when the horizon is blinding black,
You see lies people wear and their subtle attacks.
The sun is still there, behind the dim it's true.
Trying it's hardest to reach out and heal you,
But cheap guises continue to bamboozle.

On the swagger pathway

 On the swagger, close the fist.
Trumpet blower, let me shine a twist.
For you and your curious antagonist.
You climbed down the slope business.
Bragging about a past that never existed.
Landing in a vacant lot, boogie and floss.

I'm not down with your dress code or slang.
The excess of drums your sanctimonious clangs.
I'll not bow politely, or appeal in apology.
I don't admire your strategy, or your biology.
Noise and color flood your euphoria.

Your a fantasy gangboss glorifier.
Colorful language sludge pipe flow.
Use your brain once steroidpump bro.
The word bribery came up, now you're in throes.
Still jacked on false praise pretending not to know.
It's values, or your ego, one has got to go!

In this case you wander round splattering swagger.
Fruit punch puke, party nuke your rise, just a fluke.
Built on sand and the way overpriced rags hang.
All the cosmetics the excessive energetic.
The robbery fails in court you'll flail it was bought
Not sent in the mail, yet you were solid you thought
Ethics died as you grandstand, where's your get out of jail?
Pay another bribe, flex and jibe, avoid getting nailed.
