Summer Snow

Breathing breath all over with God
Dandelions and summer snow
Flow through a field that is filled with friends
Wisps of blonde and black
Dancing in the summer sun
I long to be there
I pine to be there
I love you and you enrich my life
Against all odds, I know with you
I can still be ok
My love is the bed of grass resting beneath our soles
My love is the painted wings of a monarch gleaming in the dust

Ambient Willow Branches

Sun burst through dancing leaves
Greenhug earthiness
Orange blossoms
The scent of happiness
I peeled myself so gently to you
Greenhug earthiness and ambient willow branches
I peeled myself so gently to you
Greenhug earthiness and ambient willow branches
Greenhug earthiness gave labor to tears, slaloming tears
I feel so many knots in our tangled hair together
I never want today to end and to forfeit our time together
Please tell me why there are so many knots in the pit of my gut

Dreams of the Pilots
07:08
|
|||
|
I have seen you and I
As we careen through the velvety
Blackness of oblivion
The craters left in us glow
From illuminated light
Of the pathways crossed but never met
The sky overlaps itself with beautiful collages
Of unwavering feelings and words that are
Saturated in fuchsia and violet
Who are we to judge the dreams of the pilots
With tears in their eyes, saying,
“We are going down”?

To Be Loved
09:50
|
|||
|
Painting these vivid verbal landscapes
A pale guise beckoning me to stay
Solitude was not my finest moment
Lapping in somber shades of blue
Derelict and pining, yearning for finer moments
A yesteryear of squandered beginnings
I do not want anymore part of this
I only desire to love and to be loved
“Cast pariah, callow and pining, your cold eyes weep for these things that should not be”
I only desire to love and to be loved
