(2013)
Once my beating heart Matched steel drum lines to-to-toe Teaching metronomes But now my beat has fallen Into syncopated depths
Bickering tree frogs Endless croaking back and forth Dream a soothing song One where two branches can meet In this capital forest
Anticipation Generic butterflies swarm Twists, knots, fluttering They find no golden nectar Only number two pencils
A midst cold classrooms Seemingly short dialect Audio-connect Slowly frozen hearts will drip As conversations bubble
Why does music speak Without line or threads of time We plug ourselves in Forming an echo cocoon Never wanting to come out
Tonight I awoke to an orange hori… one that I had never greeted befor… It took me back, to the days of ce… and disregard for the ticking of c… Part two:
Scattering shy leaves Skittering down two by two In Fall’s breeze they sink Forming such a golden path Blind-folded hearts can follow
To cover the tears Some men will drown their sorrows Some just run away Some even will board their hearths To me? A path of rom-com
Sweet little black box From metalic elogy Sleep now, sing no more
I guess it’s about that time again time for another pointless relapse Time, like a dusty album record Spinning, around and around on end I want the needle to break or veer…
Foggy morning sky Your veil remains untouched by The flags of Autumn How cruel of you to kidnap Such keen keepsakes of your kin
Delicate surprise From behind blind-folded eyes That glint of glitter Sprinkle, sprinkle, floating down We reach out, we grasp, we drink
Busy decisions Like an endless moon cycle Such a waxing life
The words are muffled and shifting… The pounding won’t stop, the fraye… I hold onto a thread, a little blu… The tension is mine; it is a pain… Frenzied energy drains from my fin…
Just for a moment To glimpse from dusty pages A single white flash Tenuous seconds follow Until a roaring reply
