Down river, Friends drift with hollow hearts For the open sea As the months roll forward Shedding glimmers of life ~ While I’m stalled in the rapids Left frozen in horror By the love bled away for the surging horizon ~ When I’ve finally collapsed To the river’s cold wrath I’ll rejoin their mad laughter…

Morning falls like a grey woolen blanket Smothering the city, Never reeling away To let the lights die out ~ Stranded in the heart of autumn On our isles of comfort Shadows race into the frayed daybreak Calling backwards ~ Frozen to fear Still I will not budge For the laughter of kin …

Far from whole Taken by ruination Crawling, through a shroud of wasted weeks ~ Light drains Love wavers In the colorless mornings Spare and cold ~ An old voice dives Drowning, in the coils of a bleak hereafter Weighed down with oaths sworn Leather-bound and buried ~ Far from whole Before the faint…

Motherly and fatherly verses Try burrowing their roots Through my hazy daydreams ~ Echoing down Into a deepening chasm Where vipers tunnel Seething in the dark ~ Their old roots dive Twining around my inner world’s tyrants Weakening the pull Of their melancholic scream ~ On twisted roads I find a way home To ancestral…

On the other side of madness Each darkened corner drags you under Filled with secret burdens ~ Falling into a nightmare’s spiral The light of your newfound realm Narrows to a gleaming speck ~ On the other side of sorrow Each darkened crevice Screams out enraged At what’s left undone ~ Mourning For all…

Flat-screens chatter through the empty halls All their words fall dead Beneath the afternoon’s weary sigh ~ No one speaks Nothing rises from the selfish ether And true cries of affection Burrow deeper into silence ~ Outside of ourselves The rolling plains grow cold Under withering groves Shedding flecks of gold ~ Something stirs within…

Winding forest roads Cut through the deep south In the heart of June ~ How those days reeled by In the warm window pane Changed from red desert plains Into green still waters ~ Still the highway drones Through the bleary nights As a mother’s lullaby From those years kept buried Under miles of darkness…

Seeking an empty space Between the columns of names Beneath the towering gods Of a distant dream ~ I’ll make a home in their shadows Forgotten in their joy For the inner world to sprout And rise high in revolt ~ Seeking space In their bustling rivers of concrete To carve a swathe of green…
