I wait and I wait and I wait and I wait but everything happens too late
So I hope and I hope and I hope and I hope but everything's tied up with rope
So I do and I do and I do again, each step forward takes me back
And I love and I Love and I Love and I Love but everything happens too much
So I learn and I learn and I learn and I learn to live inside these urgent days
I return and return and return and return building bridges after they burn
So I burn and I burn and I turn and I yearn but everything happens again
I try and I try and I try and I try but sometimes my will inevitably bends

Fossils

In your later years you were stone, you're bound to be all things
You sense another bond has broken, a butterfly grows wings
A look, a thought, an avalanche, mistakes are only second chances
The ground is heavy up above, I am bone then I am wood
You and I and our perfect spines
Uncovered and unknown preserved in stone
I am feeling I am thought my wishes will be found
Like a fish neath water I am be caught but I shall never drown
A blue collage, a final poem, what is known, will be unknown
We always existed you and I and our perfect curved spines
The wind that shakes the open sea the love that builds eternally
You and I and our perfect spines
Encased in stone uncovered and unknown

My frequency’s not your frequency show me how you do it
moving at a different speed time and place still exceed
all the things that i dare to do and dream about behind my eyes
happen quicker in your life take a different path mine
time is something that you do something that you say
the quicker that you speak the faster you will reach
That's why some connections run dry
That's why some connections run dry

High Hopes

Caught you quoting joan of arc blessed are the ones who die in flames.
You're such a martyr now don’t forget you’re just like Steve McQueen
I heard they call you Guinevere we met before and we will meet again
on the road to Calvary counting images instead of rosaries
On the isle of Avalon, two towers reach into the sun
These memories that we make are structures in which our life's contained

It's Cold

Its cold in here the air breathes the space
i remember you as you previously existed
handing out roses
all remember is the ground
cant believe the past’s another town
trapped in light rooms
languid and forlorn
Courtesan spaces
they will haunt me to my final days
trying not to rhyme
but i don’t know who i am
but i think i once near touched it
i think that i once near touched it
the shape you break through
in the mirrored room
the fortress
the sea is a restless place
but i wont touch your face
