…they had rhythm good style restless feet, souls on fire;
and I dream of no desire empty hands with fingers feathers gift of giving easy, slender, passion, burning I recall the rains hot on my knees at the closed doors temple of stone, house of my Lord “Let her be filled… with joy” a walk in the park yelled at the dark I noticed The Star purple one, so far not a figment: a part of my poor heavy twisted heart…
and then I wrote days and drank hours and bathed in light so someday I might draw her a kite and run and run and run to the beginning of time once more each step of the way, again and again I thank you each day for the hurt and the joy that made me whole forged in stone a giant of sorts…
embracing calmness silence pours the shadows gently off rendered to music bands won’t play whispering words like an enchantment script daring the world in shapes one cannot see colored red with naked glamour painted blue in trembling manner smeared in white and dressed in leather victors kneel in blonde hot weather feelings are so often unrightfully abused unreasonably hidden love me cruel with stripped green eyes break me painfully after dark bloodied summer of the wicked mind…
Unsober is the day, foul play on sleepless nights The Guns are awfully absurd The Stones are even further, I can’t find my music and the words won’t follow dreams are ending with an artificial flavour politically wasting years of savage force, I need more than substance to hang pretty portraits on a straighter wall to preach the passion buried deep inside build newer gods in the image of my kind, I need darkened mountains I need fertile valleys with running sky clear waters to wash my sorrows and bury deep my fears in the shadow of a greater fuller purple moon… brick by brick, in the dark breath by breath, doors closed, windows high the heart collapses from the harder stronger grip, I need a supernova, not only the spark an exploding sunshine to burn one way out to put down the unrest to unspill the ink from the very first page, in a coffee shop up that steep road where dark roast and winter black tea slowly wrote us to unstaged tragedy the war and anguish, the spite I covered in me, I need a blue spring to walk anew the dandelion fields forever…
fall is coming rain and chill dusk colored hot spice and your blonde turns red shinning silver to one’s breath walking barefoot like a tiger you serve wonders for desert, twenty something miles ashore where your blue turns green feels like seventeen once again, the young shapes on the floor unless knees are bruised on fire can’t spell ire form desire, and we are fast driving but I still need more – a supernova in a winter storm wild dancing and changing form giving life to amazing chaos filling up the heart and soul without rhythm and control bringing music to the whole, is a spark I could call love…
when everything is wrong and nothing turns out bright painting your hour in the deepest hue wisdom is forbidden while the chains hang heavy, so you’re locked in stone break the rhythm, don’t sing along life is damn’ short, why sleep in the cold?
wake up! wake up! you’ll sleep when you’re old wake up! wake up! don’t sleep in the cold!
when all the doors are closed and no one rings the bell strike another tune and turn to the next page, maybe it is right or maybe it is not but being lost in limbo never payed a debt, and always ask for sugar even if the merchant deals in salt…
ask for sugar, never take the salt ask for sugar, never salt, sugar…
when the darkness falls burn up the whole world so they feel it coming when heat goes up through hell, and leave nothing behind no trace, no hate, no excuse only love, if you’ve got what it takes…
it takes what it takes, it takes what it takes, to run on empty and love on the full it takes what it takes, it takes what it takes…
I don’t need your silence I despise the calm revolution, turning on the time the staircase wakes me up painting my world upside down I can feel the sacrifice… no more leaps on your Church the steps are marked in ancient blood the voices crawl within the heavy doors are thin – long past midnight I chose a different path to walk another God to serve; from nothingness comes struggle the debt is payed in sorrow after darkness follows light as we forget the saints…
