Cadence

Flinging out rhyme,
marching out of time,
spreading the groovy.

Beating the flames,
eating the ash,
the truth is now trash.

Splitting the bones,
waking all alone,
this is where it's at.

Note on the doorway,
wind on a hat,
I guess thats that.

Conclusion

Flashes
Red
through my closed eyelids.
Glitter-ball moon.
Smokey room.

Beat
Pushing
future rushing through.
Me all alone.
No you.

Ascend

Sonorous & soft, lifting gently aloft,
savage & swift, drifting with a twist.
Feeling born of exultation,
healing begun.

Bring on the sound,
bring on the sun.

Reverb, echo, splash & fade,
last night has become today.
It's a world away.

From tomorrow where the headlines loom.

Lighten up & shine,
somewhere in the world
is someone who will think of me as
mine.

Washed up, wounded & wasted

Washed up, wounded & wasted,
memory remembering bitter defeat
too often tasted.
Lessons unlearned,
creeping isolation,
the madness of a nation.
The numbness of a son
been too long on the run,
all the time sitting still.

Where is my reason
and what the fuck happened to my will?

Calm and tranquil,
breathing again
within without,
post a mail, leave a shout, beat against the great redoubt.
What can I do
&
where can I find you?

Breathe & Believe,
Sturm undt drang,
where are these resolutions required
for this conundrum?

How to connect,
to defect from these legions lost upon the shore,
Goodbye to meaning and understanding,
forevermore.

Welcome relief overdue,
sending out to you;
Come in and take me away
from this cold, this weary,
this vibrant & dreary,
this savage beauty that makes no sense to me
while you're not here.
