the end of the line

how long can things go on like this
i hunger and am left hungry
so greedy have i become
i must steal your lips to get a cheap kiss
i want to feel some of this
i need to know some of this
and i ache to breath your fire
your joy, your madness, and your pain
for i am only animal
flesh and bone and sex
and i have been faithful for so long
i don't know how much more that i can take this
i want to feel some of this
i need to be some of this
and i ache to breath your fire
your joy, your madness, and your pain

red

this red
now
writing in red
ever
bleeding red
oh
wanting red at rest
upon the red sea
it will be red
this red
now
to silence me
ever
feeding me
now
it's frightening me
it reveals
it will always be red
but it makes no difference
it makes no difference, anymore
and still loneliness awaits my return
and still loneliness awaits my return
into red
into red

lullaby for marguerite
(1904-1993)

windswept and moonhung
singing softly next to you
oh sweet delicate woman
where has all your strength gone to
gone to…gone to
where has it gone to
softest hands
i take their frailness in my own
hands
hands that mended children's dreams
now grasp for mary's grace
her grace…her grace
sweet mother
guide her home
sweet, sweet mother guide her home…
sleep now woman
let the angels come to you
and
in their wings
you will find peace
you will find peace
i know

all my lovers

all my lovers turn to stone
relics of hope in a night garden
only i visit when i sleep
i walk among you
touching the surface
this is my secret place where i unafraid
and unashamed
linger at your lips
tasting your milk
it's my renewal
in times of isolation
i come to you
secret addiction
and in the daylight i wait eagerly
to visit you
again and again and again
for ever when i will stop
oh, i do not
this is my only link to freedom
i fear
all my lovers turn to stone
relics of hope in a night garden
only i visit when i sleep
i walk among you
touching you

the knowing

so much to say
when words seem to say no more
and i'm trying too hard
words never mattered much
anyway
so then..give me silence!
so much to say
when words seem to say no more
and i'm trying too hard
words never mattered much
anyway
so much to feel
when my skin pleads your sky for rain
but i'm feeling too much
and feelings never pay off
along the way
so i'll say no more
i'll say no more
for all i really need is to know that this is real
don't you know this is real
isn't it?

shadowgirl

swaying the pendulum
sweet the sound
i'm stuck in sequence
shadowgirl
back and forth
old me and new me
i pray to kill
this deranged family
or i fear i'll grow old here
watching my feast grow cold
is it love or hate that would kill it
crack this shell and bring me home
from
this pendulum
i'm stuck in sequence
swaying the pendulum
sweet the sound
i'm stuck in sequence
shadowgirl
the pendulum
stuck in sequence
swaying the pendulum
sweet the sound
i'm stuck in sequence
shadowgirl

...now may we eat the bread?

a simple truth

a moment of my life shared with you
will never be forgotten
from this cradle's ledge
i count the rings
of my time on earth
imaging myself content
needing to dissolve this taste
of wasted dreams
and within my head
this gray begins to grow
please let me tear it all away
and i will set free
you and i
drawing strength
from the point of contact
dna fireflies within
and in another moment
i'd refuse to chance these preparations
after 25 years of building
to the settlings grounds we go
a place to pool
and to be snythesized
into the rest now
this is where the cybersoldiers
hold the line
in weary vigilance
but i believe them now
i never thought i would
i never thought i would
and this is why
a moment of my life shared with you…you
will never be forgotten
no, it will never be forgotten

the trip

great brick glass arches
my toungue and hips peeling
these swirls of tripped-out lightning
titilate and frighten
and i feel
to be
in a strange daze
wasted just like the old days
anxious to curl up and crawl away
but then distracted by another face
leads me to another place
and i feel
to be
in a strange daze
