Irresistible









It makes me smile beyond myself
How clouds move around
Around a light alien to the sun
In a surreal sunny day that now I can seem to reach
Scent of flowers beside my feet
Chameleon colours over a hand painted road...
A path...like a beautiful card that must be dealt with

Will you read this note in your dream?
Will you weep at the news as you sleep?
A treasure hungers to be embraced
Answers beckon not demanded
A trove of mysteries that must unfold
A journey sourly awaits
A path...irresistible like a beautiful card that must be dealt with

In Between













She turns a blind corner
Skipping about unprepared
Looking for something about nothing
Following lines that go everywhere and around
Checking her watch to find not time but colors

They whirl in her mind
Inside and around
They dance in her eyes
Within and without

She gathers her strength
Tracing lights in dark water
Trying to make do with fleeting shapes
Anything that shines sputters
Because love doesn't matter
It doesn't matter anymore

They whirl in her mind
Inside and around
They dance in her eyes
Within and without

She gazes up to a sky burning
A swirling shine of all that she never minds
She looks back down
To the ground full of sparrows
No colors
But it doesn't matter anymore

They whirl in her mind
Inside and around
They dance in her eyes
Within and without

Miserecorde

Recorded images play as his maudlin star weeps
A voice distant yet familiar begins in earnest
The pressure starts as his pulse flees from rest
The trigger is pushed...the current relays
A broken trasmission...his breath in delays
Lights communicate in quick stark succession 
A bizarre reflection...a prism of love, hate and confusion
As the audience react in jovial cacophony
A silent image moves back across in gentle agony
The greet, the eyes, the smile...his miserecorde
