Intangible

A light that dispels from eyes

Like heaven

Descending, trascending

This never ending

Place between the gods and I

Reach for the ineffable

So often forgettable

Reaching for dreams
With the coming of day

Dissipating smoke

Leaves us in a fog

Trying to recall

What meant the world

A moment ago

But I still see those eyes

At the edge of perception

Right there before me

But I cannot reach there

Are they watching me?
Am I watching me?

Am I far off disapproving

Of what I cannot see?

And from that far off nowhere

Somewhere inside

A sentience

So tenuous

Fleeting

Like dreaming

Then I awake

And try to recall

again...

Dream House

I want to build a dream house

Decorate with memories

Paint our dreams upon the walls

Opaque and crystalline

Till we see straight through

All the shades of you and I

When all the things we do

Reminds us of the how and why

We fell in love and decided to stay there

Bricks of faith we built up hope

All our artifices we finally lay bare

Daily devotions of love we show

We put our plans upon a shelf

Read through them in eves at home

Lean upon pillars when we need help

Built of our strength when we're not alone

Warm ourselves by the hearth of both our hearts

Wrap ourselves in blankets of our support

Bring that balm with us when we're apart

The bricks of trust that build our fort

Hang our past in portrait frames

Review the cascade of images together

The roof of comfort, against sun or rain

Solace that we'll survive against any weather

As the paint will fade, the house gathers must

Old couches settled with napping and holding hands

And our stories carried one by those that through here pass

The recollections of this house of dreams and we to understand

You'll never have today again

You'll never have today again.

Farewell today and it's hello tomorrow

I fall through the hourglass, heart full of sorrow

Because although nothing is perfect

I kinda like my life right now

I look back on those colorful yesterdays

Full of manic and laughter

Till we all went our separate ways

Left in the panic of the here after

Because some of them died you see

And others went on living without me

And I went on living too

Do what I always do

Pick a direction and go

The echoes of memories

Live on inside of me

And hey, I just thought you should know

You'll never have today again

Dance with that special friend

Take one risk and let your heart be broken

Because guilt's for what you shouldn't try

Regret's how you couldn't fly

And you'll only regret good feelings unspoken

Take a look all around you

While spinning in circles

Falling down when you're through

Laugh til you're purple

And cherish all the moments that will never come again

Life will move on leaving only the dreams

Sing with your friends

Unabashed of the harmony

Take an adventure

Not knowing where you'll be

Leave this life with the least regrets at the end

And know in your heart that you lived this life til it burst at the seems

Breathe

Breathe

As the endless cacophany

Breaks on top of me

Pressing in directions

Asserts against my predilections

Heart beat slamming

Against the cage in my chest

I'm doing my best

From going into arrest

So I breathe

Close my eyes and take a moment to breathe

Let it recede

All the needs and calamities

Taking these pieces from me

The world will persist

So I must insist

To keep the bending from breaking

I will be partaking

Of a few moments of solace

That no one will notice

But will make an endless

Breathless

Difference for me

Breathe

Close my eyes and breathe

Empty my mind and breathe

Open my eyes

And breathe

Unalarming Awakening

I prefer my awakening unalarming

Let the transition be disarming

Bask in the memories of the never was

Whatever was

Happened to be in serenity

Or confusion, the story protrusions

Within the blurring sections of my recollections

And the sheer creation of imagination

From the bizarre to the ordinary

Ideas proprietary releasing involuntary

The id, the ego and the incognito

Blending the edges of what we think we know

Unknown inside me that even I can't see

In the land of dream where my soul is free

So I try not to open my eyes

That I might view the infinite landscape

Of all the potential my mind can realize

Hypnagogia, I never want to escape

Tears of Ice

Fissures open from the top of this cavern

Rain keeps pouring down
Rain keeps pouring down

Howls echo from the distant horizon

I'm chilled by the sound
I'm chilled by the sound

There's a lingering presence here
Though I know I'm all alone
Trapped in here by my fear
Though this is not my home

That last light slowly subsided
I'm shivering in this cold
Shaking all that I've confided
The story that's never been told

Scratches on the wall from my resolve
Paint the pictures of my fading story
With the trickling water it will all dissolve
This flooded tomb will be my glory

Icicles rise like spears from the ground

As the rain keeps pouring down
As the rain keeps pouring down

Reasons so lost in these shadows
That I know they'll never be found

Time slowing down
I'm slowing down

My breath mists like the ghosts in here
Haunting me within this place
Am I shaking from the cold or fear
Of these spectres I cannot face

And their faces eb and flow
Names of which I can't recall
They whisper secrets I should know
The mystery my downfall

Contemplation heavy; palpable, the misty gloom
Have I found my solitude? Or has this cavern become my tomb?

My final shudders, my body giving in
Death now tapping me on the shoulder
Eyes closing as the cold settles in
Enclosing whispers, their touch so much colder

My mind is still, these drops freeze to my face
No longer pondering riddles of the spirits I see
The past now a haze as memories erase
For I am the spirit and the spirit is me...

Hearts Shared

I cannot absolve you but I can listen to your sins.

I cannot take the pain away, but I can be your friend.

I cannot make life better, but I can help you smile right now.

I cannot show you the value of your soul.

But I hope someday that you'll learn how.

I'll hold your hand when you get lost.

And hold you close when it gets cold.

I'll wait and let your heart beat time with mine.

When you're scared and don't know where to go.

I'll build a blanket fort too

When the world gets too big.

And stay right beside you.

When you've forgotten why you live.

Share your tears and hold your pain

For what little part I can.

And stand with you out in the rain

Until I finally understand.

Or until you're okay

Whichever first.

My love for you may

One day burst

This little broken heart of mine

That feels quite full when I share with you

And if magic fails I'll give you time

Til we decide what else to do.

Morning

Morning.

The element
of possibility

Realization
of a brand new day

Anything could happen,
Open our eyes to see
What we can see
Open the door
To know what we could be
Awakenings bring us

To a new reality

So much potential
As we open our eyes

In the still of morning

We plot our next move

Sounds of our world

Enter our minds

With the last vapors

of passing Dreams

And in this moment

We can be Anything
