I was homeless before I saw her face,
A picture that belied her grace,
Digital romance held little for me,
But now I know where I want to be.
Her image speaks of things
Beyond lust or love,
Whispers of weavings
Set Ago and Above,
And it doesn't matter how smart
I try to seem,
Every interaction
Is like a dream.
Never thought I could feel
Something so real
For an invisible girl on a screen.
My heart aches at the distance
In both miles and time
That i must wait
To see if fate
Will let her be mine.
How do we know each other like this?
Without a meeting?
Without a touch?
Without a kiss?
How is it I feel a warm embrace
Every time I see your face?
Linked by Love as all poets are,
Like strangers
From the same distant star,
And I may not know you,
But I know who you are,
And who you are
Is beautiful.
A piece of my soul
Just for you,
Oh soul mate
That I never knew.
Girl on the Run
Never really had her.
Her love was like sand
That slipped through my hands.
Never could believe her.
All beautiful lies
Behind beautiful eyes.
Girl on the run
Always runnin from someone.
Why don't you instead
Try runnin to me?
Girl on the run
Life is always undone
By mistakes that we make
When there's nowhere to be.
Girl on the run,
Run to be with me.
Be a logic magician,
A metamathematician
And break the conditioning
Of your 3D brain.
Instead train
Your 24D mind.
So I put out another cigarette,
And say some prayers
I haven't said yet
That someday I'll forget
The way you smile...
And my socks are soakin' in the rain,
But I don't care 'cause I'm insane,
And, oh yeah, I think this pain
Will last a while.
Somewhere I'm sure it's sunny,
Somewhere I'm sure there's cake,
Somewhere I'm sure
You'll find a pure white dove...
But now I work at a hotel,
And I'm not doin' so well,
'Cause there`are ghosts all over the place,
And they're all wearing your face,
As I pace over the grave of our love.
Monster Heart
I'm a beautiless thing,
I'm a beast,
I'm a primate,
I'm a waste,
I'm a wolf,
No... I'm a dog.
You're a merciless queen,
You're obscene,
You're a tyrant,
You're a whore,
You're a pig,
No... You're a hog.
...And I've torn apart my monster heart
Looking for peices of you,
But I know in my mind
I'll never find them all,
So I'll never be through
Looking for peices of you.
STRIPES
Cheeseburger and fries
And a wallet-sized America,
And I am terrorized by America.
I feel brutalized in America.
Red and white all over,
Beaten black and blue.
Come one, come all
And see the man that
Snorted freedom up his nose,
While the body count just
Keeps growing in America.
The machine shows no sign
Of slowing in America.
Blood and cash just
Keep on flowing in America.
At the precipice of Entropy
On the crest of the Timewave,
And still we puny humans
Don't know how to behave.
It is all within us,
And we, within it all.
Together everything rises
Or together everything falls.
Barefoot in the Winter
Barefoot in the winter,
Crisp as a snow angel night.
December's dawning light.
It's all too right
So it must be a dream.
Hearts can be so tender,
brittle like fresh blown glass.
All those various masks.
Such a task,
Getting who we are
From who we seem.
She does her February dance with a January smile,
And in a while you feel no cold,
Only her glow.
Barefoot in the winter,
She can put the sun to sleep,
Cause the gods to weep,
Adding thier frozen teardrops
To the snow.
RED
Red like the soft rose sheets on the bed,
Red like the famed wicked apple.
Red like the tickle I get when around you,
Red pulsating into purple.
The color only women know,
A trail of blood on fallen snow,
And everything about her shows
That flow of crimson passion.
Red like the virgin's shudder,
Red like the dress of a whore.
Red like the primordial center,
Red's all I see anymore.
The fires of infinity,
The desires that we hush.
Red, the color of intimacy,
Red, my constant blush.
