Eyes I dare not meet in these dreams
Slowly we see ghostly forms within the storms.
...run away over the gray of our haunted winter sea,
or stay the watch all through the hours upon the shifting mercury
...until this ageless night wears down.
...until the sky cracks and falls around us.
Eyes I fear to meet in these dreams
Paralyzed force, I'm sinking beneath the waves.
"...come away through the graying hours of uncertainty. Run away over the grey before voices like fading stars anchor themselves to your apathy."
"In time your face will change as rivers run, winds are spent, and seas are stilled."
Truly you are. But your reflection fades when my eyes are engraved with light from the stars.
Slowly we are pressed into the grace of unfettered desire.

Tempests

what of the future?
of blood red tempests,
rising cyclone from fluid pools frenetic?
recession results in explosion
or instant dominant decision...
rising cyclone from fluid pools frenetic.
...soothe in blue
and moonlit ripples...
future light...
and fresh water...

Silent Blue

I drift along the pale, mourning dawn with stretching arms and eyes of weary stone
The sun's watery bed reflects in the waves turning tidal, dancing with the red.
and I am falling in, washed in whispers, crushed beneath the silence.
I am falling in, washed in whispers, crushed beneath the silent blue.
The sea bellows on with great sorrow songs. Swept beneath her arms I breathe the deep.
Her vast shuddering womb drowning the hope sullen, stillborn, becoming as a tomb.
and I am falling in, I've lost you in whispers drowning in the silence.
I am falling in, I've lost you in whispers drowning in the silent blue.
...how you dance on my skin. Distant lover leaving me again
to weeping eyes burning for the next time.
I am falling in, I've lost you in whispers drifting towards the sky light.
I am falling in, I've lost you in whispers swept up in the silent blue.

I kneel within these fabled halls
And pray against the death of Songs.
Bright key in hand...
