Infinite Moment

Would I have gathered cold stone
Built a warm fortress
Could I have broken the waves?
Would I have gathered your colors
Painted you a portrait
Could I have seen all you crave?
Will we walk together
Held in hooks of light
Binding us together
With all man and life?
At this moment
You are my picture
My every movement led me to you.
In the depth of
My eyes
See that I know as we stare
Into the third
Into the one
All our love has come,
Where the two are one
Where we join
The infinite moment.
Would I have gathered your tears
Drowned them in an ocean
Could we have played in their waves?
Would I have gathered your beauty
A home, a warm fortress
Could we have stayed in that place?
Will we walk together
Held in hooks of light
Binding us together
With all man and life?
At this moment
You are my picture
My every movement led me to you.
In the depth of
My eyes
See that I know as we stare
Into the third
Into the one
All our love has come,
Where the two are one
Where we join
The infinite moment.

On Bartók, In Love
02:45
|

|
On the top of Beech Hill with St Vincent Millay
Red sun to the east on the green spotted bay
With no books and no bakers
No daters or fakers
No trams and no ponies
No home for the lonely
Sent out of their place
No wallpaper grace
No waiting room blues
Revelation
Or shoes.
An ocean fed by rivers
this child has never seen.
Carried, conceived,
In light now relieved.

Collective Cry
03:31
|

|
It's not my time
To breathe my way...
To find myself
At my final day
Kings and queens of empty streets
Pickin’ over the winter wheat
Nice to see you’ve got some food to eat
For you that's fine now
Collectively cry now
It's not my time
To crawl away...
To find myself
At my final day
Kings and queens of empty streets
Pickin’ over the winter wheat
Nice to see you’ve got some food to eat
For you that's fine now
Wiping it clean now
For you that's fine now
Wiping it clean now
This city in silence
A village green now
For me it's fine now
Now it’s time to go
My time to go

Susie's orchid collection
Let the sunshine through the door
Bringing back recollections
Of marigolds galore.
A truly colorful selection
Let the yellow have the floor
Givin’ the white ones directions:
"That’s what beauty’s for!"
"Remind them of love!
The pain that they all share
The beggar’s empty eyes
The runner’s lonely stare
The soft breath
That gave them life
And bliss as she takes them home
Carried In her empty arms
Forgetting all their cares
Passed around
To the tearing gods
Who break their bodies down."
Susie's orchid collection
That’s what beauty’s for

What will
The sixteenth version
Wipe away?
Fly away
We'll make it alright
And you’ll say
“Give me all your love this time”
Say you'd like to stay with me today
Driftin’ to perfection
In your soothin’, soothin’ way
“Give me all your love this time”
Say you'd like to stay with me today
Driftin’ to perfection
In your soothin’, soothin’ way
Lying still
There’s no illusion
It’s a happy day
You’re my way
Fly away
You make it alright
When you say

Workmen
03:39
|

|
I watch as the workmen take
Our painting off the wall
Composed together in safe true arms
A rising phoenix
Distant and small
On shades of darkening sky
A portrait of our future
Stored away
Before it even dried
I loved you true
Though badly.
I loved you true
Now sadly
We needed each other’s love
To learn
That we don’t need each other’s love
Only our own

Marathon
03:41

I see your woe
I’m waiting outside
In winter, your sleeping
Sedated
Awaken
Not ready to cry
I see your woe
I waited too long
And then you awakened
Arising
Belated
Ready to run
You were my marathon
When I needed a mile
You showed me only pain
When I needed a smile
There's no more winter in May
May you find your own way
Alone is never alone
I see your woe
I waited too long
And then you awakened
Arising
Belated
Ready to run
You were my marathon
When I needed a mile
You showed me only pain
When I needed a smile
There's no more winter in May
May you find your own way
Alone is never alone
Alone is never alone
You were my marathon
When I needed a mile
You showed me only pain
When I needed a smile
No more winter in May
May you find your own way
Alone is never alone

Destination Heart
01:31
|
|||
|
Surrender your beauty
Like a sunset in June
Empty of meaning
Devoid of feeling
Glorious and free
Easy to take for the likes of me
Pride can't capture the thin crescent moon
Desire won’t make you mine
Love
Protection
All time and direction
As boots crunch dirt
On the steady walk home
With a destination heart
