Quiet Fire

these waves will return as one
not on the shore where i come from
but out where i lay my head to rest
under a sunset or some other end
where i feel the earth move with every turn
and time is a fire that quietly burns
will it come to know of all that i have dreamed of?
when i can't feel the warmth in the end?
and it hurts but i let it in
even though it's numbing all my limbs
presiding over days that no longer exist
with a fire that forever emits
i'm passing through the tunnel light
moving somewhere in the late night
if i could try to find the source of light
i won't have to move uncertain in the end
because it hurts, still i let it in
yeah it hurts still i let it in
embracing and numbing all of my limbs
presiding over days that no longer exist
with a fire that forever emits

Otherworldly

dreaming in the outer realm
wading with the fish by my feet again
is it where you go to find your mind?
and feel as time lingers then subsides
from the world around us
slowly, but surely
all that i come to feel
and i foresee is
otherworldly
diving into the water so deep
you never know how much it hurts until it bleeds
i swim to the same damn coastline every night
to sit in the sand and wait for time to subside
from the world around us
slowly, but surely
all that i come to feel
and i foresee is
otherworldly
all that i come to feel
and i foresee is
otherworldly

Olympus

after the fever where do you wander
when all the light has faded away
do you wait for the stars by the water
so they'll never lead you astray
well maybe i am restless
but really i am dormant
just waiting for a new dawn
eventually
you come back whole in a form of limbo
to build a home in a heatwave
along the shore is where you go to walk
with no footprints in the sand
and yes it makes me restless
but really i am dormant
when i'm waiting for a new dawn
maybe i can hold on
maybe i can't focus
when i'm waiting for a new time
to feel all right
can i feel...?

Rare Novels
03:24

all i ever wanted was peace of mind
for my moons circle imperfect waves
and i hear their rhythmic sway
every day in my head, in my head
(could you stay until) i feel any better
(i know this won't last) forever but, oh my dear it hurts
you've come to wander in my dreams
to leave me rare novels in my library
but i can't bear to read them to their end
if it means that what we have left becomes
a mere memory
(could you please stay until) i feel any better
(i know this won't last) forever but, oh my dear it hurts

Inside the Library

if i open the door,
will it be veiled in journey's end?
if i cannot see my past lives,
is my future to tend?
if i choose to walk the other way,
will it reveal what lies ahead?
if i endure what i can't ignore,
will it know how much i felt?
i find retreat in liminal comfort. as a heatwave engulfs, i observe my home in solitude. where it laze amongst jasmine and hibiscus flowers preserved in time. only ever swayed by salty, northern air. it sweeps over my skin as i stroll down the volcanic beach leaving no footprints in the sand. to watch Orion light the past into flames.
when the waves begin to hug the shore, i stroll further to a library. hidden between the flora where nocturnal animals emerge to sing, as i approach the entrance. inside, the infinite worlds spin with gleaming stars in the night sky. and once in every blue moon i pick one of its rare novels and cry to the rhythm of the words paced with the rolling waves of water & heat along the shore.
i don't want to leave.
don't let me leave.
i don't know what the future has in store for me.
but for now as the night completes,
remember of what you come to dream.

Valerian

i tear the last pages out the book you gave me
cus i can’t bear to read the world to its end
when the night
brings in tow
a soft tender glow
from a honeyed moon
what can i do
walking back to the library
with the book in my hand
retracing no footprints in the sand
you sit me down, pour me valerian tea
& you say have no fear of your thoughts my dear
when the night
brings in tow
a soft tender glow
from a honeyed moon
what can i do
as birds sing in harmony with the waves
it echoes on inside my head

Sweet Dream

one more night goes by
in the warm waxing flame
i play on worn mahogany
changing but i always feel the same
the murmur of my sweetest dreams
won't ever leave me be
call me through the lightning
i'll be floating far away
midnight brings the moon out
i am spellbound for my journey's end
bloom as i play on worn out keys
to serenade the late night rain
the murmur of my sweetest dreams
won't ever leave me be
call me through the lightning
i'll be floating far away
(spoken outro)
another day, another night
the sands of time keep turning
yet i always feel the same
in the light of the eternal flame

Slow Sunset
02:45
|
|
||
|
hot flames alight forever
and i'm teary eyed in the heatwave
after thousands of slow sunsets
i have found the beauty of an end
of where i once was, and where i am now
circling my waves back as one
circling my waves back as one
