Eternity

Pulled it out of me
Put it into me
Thought of we
For eternity
With kisses on my lips
Upon my love
Stars aligned
Heaven sent a dove;

Flood recedes
Troubles washed away
Shore revealed
Where we can love and lay
Underneath the stars
Wishes of we
For eternity
As touching me
Searching me
Wanting me
Opens me;

Enters me
Desire bleeds
Opening of vein
Makes me call the name
That created me
Connected we
In hopes of possibility
For eternity
Just like this moment come
Perfect as stars
I expand
Staring deep into the sun
Blinded still
With my senses overrun;
Whispering
Pleasing...

I guess I'll have to think about...

Staying.

35,000 To Midnight

On the plane heading to FL... Going to another world, through another world.

"35,000 To Midnight"

It was black
Pure and central
Silent
As if waiting
For the creation of time;
It was beginning
End
Fear and possibility
Primal
Level
Yet
Somehow textured
As I could feel it's sway
Teasing
Enticing me to come
Dive within it's mystery.

It was black
Our beginning
Our finality
Except for the solitary light
Far off
That seemed as still as we were
In those moments
Waiting
For the creation of time
And the sins that followed
That now
Make the world move
A little too fast to enjoy...

In the darkness,
One's never quite sure.

Skin

Told beneath me
Learned beneath me
Shown beneath the
Skin

Crayola
Mocha
Ebony
Label me
Boxing we
With closed eyes
I dare you to see
What lies beneath
The skin

They look to me
And give you privacy
Only Atlas could shoulder the world
And that was a punishment
See
Mythology
Of what it means
What is seen
Upon the sin
Skin

White
Yellow
Fair
Every term
A fallacy
A
Need to be
You
maybe even me
So
I guess
We'll never be free
Crossing lines
Outside our pictures
Complete;
From the moment
Out introduction to coloring begins
It's all about
Skin

Pink
Think
Brown
Down
Black
Always in the back
Last
Amongst the crazy and the cream
Dreams
And variations diffusing
To nightmares
As you've got to fit in
Your skin...

Honor

Honoring your name
The spirit begs me to move;
Why am I so still?

He

Fear subsides
Guilt subsides
Going with the flow
Spirit
I delve into his blue
His black
His unknown
Dance within his stare
As my fingers flow with ease
Through his hair
And my beliefs
That we could be one;
He is mystery
In the common place of my world
He is
Flow
In the stagnant I've become
Pushing and pulling me
As he strokes
Because he thinks I ignore;
He is subside
As I push aside
Those things forbidden
For chances
For my antiquated state
And simple answers
That never come
Despite the experience I gain
Over and under again
In my desire
To be loved...

Gold On The Water

Sporadic
Gold on the water
Shimmers
Blinding
Yet my eyes can't escape
Thinking of home;
This is the closest I get
In this time of year
In this type of place
Return
Seems to entice
A little stronger than it might
In say
Autumn
Drowning me
In it's kaleidoscope of changing colors;
But nothing beats
Gold on the water
Shimmering
Dancing
Calling me
Home...

Endgame

The world is not before us
To give us life and entrust
Secrets we'd only use to change it's face

There is no other
Our only mother
Whose womb is barren from the pain
So she fades away

In our final hour
Will we feel the shame?
Will we bow before the darkness and the flame?
With our final breath
Will we come to know the reign
Rules governing our universe
One in the same?

The only constant I fear
Yet we'll be remade
To live in memory
A billion light years away;
The world is not here for us
To spread our seed and mistrust
Evolution as an unfortunate mistake

In this final moment
Will we feel our shame?
As the flesh it burns
To simply fall away
As we kneel and pray to
A god that never came
The time for unity is now
Before the pain.

Drowning

Imprisoned by limitations of the mind
Searching for escape
Breeding contempt
For fate's sake
I'm drowning.

Cradled in waves
Seeking to devour
Struggling underneath stars
Infinite as hours
How long can breath be held
If one has never inhaled...
Deeply?

Impossible

They look away into unknown eyes
Looking for answers to questions and lies
But they would deem them
Impossible
So they cry..

They wouldn't loose it
To make a way
Until they saw it
The only way
And so they deem it
Impossible
To stay...

Who would believe it
With all our crimes
Who would believe it
After all this time
If there's a heaven
Or a god in our skies
What more must we learn
For it to make things right?
But I would deem that
Impossible
So I cry.

They wanted freedom
They wanted time
But evolution denied;
They got the moon
They got the sun
They got undone
Just to try
To bathe in pleasure
To drink the joy
To understand the love
Between a girl and boy
Only to deem matters of the mind
An excuse to lie
So now we cry.

Who would believe it
With all the tears
Who would believe it
With all the fear
That it was needed
Just to get through the night
That it was wanted
This excuse to fight
And still maintain
There's a god up above
Whom in the end
Could still manage the will to love
But allows us pain
Because it deemed it
Impossible
To try...
