Shiva and the astronaut

It swept him blindly through the air
And left him broken
There's a wind that goes from the strangest ocean
And a jasmine rose; songs of roses
There's unfathomed sounds in a place called nowhere
And the silent ground in these breaths

It swept him blindly through the air
And left him opened
He left the world without a tear
When he crossed over

Om namah Shiva…

In a world without tears
Farewell
Fare thee well
Om namah Shiva…

In every russ he bid farewell
When he crossed over

Tremor void

She goes to sleep as the earth I stand on falls
Into the sleep below the tremor void

In a song forth he knows wisdom rescues all the lonely fear
Set your wounded planet such a ness he learned woo now
I could leave every where for somewhere else
Ready to return; returning with you
Into the tremor void with you

Myth of Abdul

Come, come see for yourself

When the raven's wings are beating, where the harlequin sleeps
And the old play is pleading under dark, cold raining skies
Beneath the old courts of laughter

Come, come see for yourself

And the wise men speak while the raven's wings beat
And a cold raining sky
And a harlequin sleeps where the old players plead
Under dark, cold raining skies

Once in a Day

Once in a day

I was out; I cannot be here
Saw the sun, was it always
In a while, holding outside, holy child in a tower
In a terror

Once in a day

And she's in love with a man she once despised
But this doesn't come as a surprise
It's just like on a course like a wild, running horse
With no limits or bounds or ties

Once, once a day

All these things

Innocent christians no joy for love
No eyes were hoping until love without words
Like a river to the ocean, like a drop of rain, like a weeping willow

Tears falling from her wings
That's all these things

Your eyes are smiling, your mouth is crying
Your eyes like poets, open up every cruel door
Jump at his dancers, for something that seems so twisted
Undone but this December
Now she can call it her own

I don't want to be a lover, don't want to need it before you
Not as a lover
She's lying in the dark
Just like a machine
She's lying in the dark

Now It's only trouble, tears falling from her wings

Timeless

Cold mother begs
From a painter in an empty street
For somethin' she can warm her feet
Least to stop the cryin' child
Sad actress preys on a waiter
In cheap cafe
Hopin she can end that day
With a warmth that lovers feel
Lady Di, took more than a moving car
To steal your breath away
Take your hand from the steering wheel
No time for photographs
No time for the laughs
No time for the past
No time . . .

Hummingbird

Twisted and simple,
You curled into the shoulder
Of a joker that could not surrender
Like some endless river,
He broke into the layers
Sunsets darken the waters
Of course there was laughter
In this shelter of strangers
In the rooms of "I love you"
"I love you"
One so alone, sad as a poem
Who hovered by the window then flew
Away from poison rainbows
Away from fallen snow
Away from stumblin' footsteps
Away from so alone
But to lie down beside you
To feel the heart beat in your breath
To carry my song to you
To bury the words inside
Is all I really want

Transporting

Time it's so ample
And it's passin' so sweet
You bring the deepest things inside out of me
Outside
As amazing space
Transporting
Me to you

Found a Window

Like a fire inside him
He didn't know where it came from
But it made him weep
And melt
Like a candle, she said
You dance so well

Comin' back to yourself
Come to myself
Comin' back to myself
Come back to yourself

Solitude

Dawn it breaks, I am alone
I'm awake, my eyes unopen
Half in the dark, half in the room
Half in the light sealed by your womb
Sail then my eyes out in the dark
Oceans of sighs, adrift in her bark
Islands lay scattered, Island won't talk
Life hardly matters here in the dark

I want you in solitude
I need you in solitude
I want you in solitude
I haunt you in solitude

Once a jester in circles of friends
Spoke in whispers, starwords and gems
See to my scars, make them mend
Adrift in her bark, once was a friend
Sail away, I sail away, I sail nowhere, nowhere, nowhere

Hear her laugh throught the air
Down from the past into my lair
