thoughts like a cloud
thoughts like a cloud from a cigarette
harmful and burning are these
can’t seem to figure out any of this
simple like mountains and trees
bright like the water at sunrise
quiet and orange i should be
can’t seem to figure out any of this
simple like mountains and trees

for me to share
I'm glad I'm not as numb as I thought I was, and that's your fault I know this
'Cuz it's you whom I feel for
All this love opened up its eyes when it dreamed of you
And there you were realised
Showing me the joy of what I have inside for me to share
I'm glad that I can feel this and be awake and conscious of giving
To you whom I feel for
And through these eyes I see the light of you exposing all my shadows
In order to dissolve them
Showing me the joy of what I have inside for me to share
And through these eyes I see the light of you exposing all my shadows
In order to dissolve them
Gentle eyes, the saddest kind
Compassionate smile, knowing the sorrows
Showing me the joy of what I have inside for me to share

On Becoming a Cloud
A simple kid, astounded by surreal
Astounded by such truths
If I could see such dizzying skies
Such savoury lands over which to fly
His visions were, and always became real
Waking from such dreams
If I could fly and thoroughly see
Then I'd be cloud and drift through sky
There is the garden and here am I
Raining upon you and giving life
Let the winds take you and you'll be fine

am i that empty?
04:30
|
|||
am i that empty?
jealous and unsteady like i needed more
greedy and dirty like a lecherous whore
who am i to say i’m right?
i can’t see myself in this fight
i can’t tell if you’re an honest girl
if you’re selfless at all
your words are what i want to hear
but the connotation’s muffled in my ear
why do i think that i need you?
am i that empty inside?
are you a blanket under which i can hide?
you slipped off when i struggled to understand you!
now you’re hiding somebody else
the connotations of your silence hurts

beautiful peace

beautiful peace
i can’t believe
can you deceive
my eyes perceive you as
beautiful peace
peaceful as a glass calm pond
underneath a mist
radiant orange from
an early morning sun
an early morning shine
you are the dawn
i can’t forget
i don’t regret
all that you said gave me
beautiful peace
peaceful as these memories
clouded like a dream
i told you things that
i meant at the time
i meant it at the time
and you did too

Ravenscliff Lake
It's all here for me
Outside at night in light
Bright Borealis sky
Orion on the other side
Middle of lake on snow
I stand sipping whisky, cold
Aurora lights like waves
Dog howls fill the trees
Green light ribbons through
Stars and satellites
It's all here for me
Outside I'm most alive

drastic measures

|

drastic measures
you talk about not being able to feel
but your eyes tell a story your mouth can't conceal
and the pain and the darkness are as real as the light of hope
the ways I imagine the ways you inflict
these cuts on your flesh can't compare to the truth
of confusion and sadness in you
that could bring you to such drastic measures
all of the room inside is for you to hide in

the sky stays the same
taking what i can get makes me greedy
giving what i’ve got seems to please me
so why do i have so much
am i as flawed as i believe
looking at things simply makes life easy
i see the road beneath me
moves fast as i fly above it
trees and cabins float past
and the sky stays the same
sun and moon share and play
all i have to do is sleep and wake
decide what i can give
decide what i should take

sparkle
there's a sparkle in the quietness
a whisper in the corner of -
I'm in thick air
it's the "I'm where you are"
the blindness of mirrors
the deafness to reflections
the nervousness of obvious loneliness
I can't seem to let you fade
I stay up all night so the dark can't invade my sleep
just the flickering days
I sit to let you seep away
but this light inside of me of you burns my heart
and I can't make it fade
from inside this I am looking out
to emptiness with only on eye
one's in reverie
it keeps looking back two thousand miles
blinking through pictures
fading too slowly
the defeating wait for the clear void of emptiness

september dusk
I dreamt of you laughing
and drifting along in the waves
I remember in Bloomfield
and smoking in dark empty streets
oh, the joys of just talking
and making love in the soft morning light
the slow drive from Toronto
after the sad kiss goodbye
remembering this with smiles
in the chills of september dusk

alive as ice can freeze
02:48
|
|||
alive as ice can freeze
damp and cool on my tongue
trapping the longing
but saddened among the burying leaves
and after these snowy anticipations arrive
the beauty of autumn ceases to exist
and now winter dreams are alive
dark and stars are the sky
cold as the rain
but warmed by the waves of the northern lights
the reds and the greens dancing
in slow undulations above
the calm of the sky for a while was replaced
by the curtains of colours and light

under a waterfall at pete's dam
this water, younger than the moon
is running through my hair
cold on my chest
but I was here when it began
it's in my memory
when I drink it, deja vu
feeling lighter than I was
and floating higher than I am
but it was here when I began
and it flows through me
explain the earth without science
mythology is more exciting
explain the earth without science
you go so much farther than going there

the tidal pool
04:20
|

the tidal pool
with my eyes shaking
I watch your front teeth
exposed by quivering upper lip
resting, just parted from the lower one
those quick, short breaths
coloured with smiles and sighs
those sharp, short nails
pierce into my back and thighs
when I shut my eyes, I saw this crashing shore
and the strongest, calmest rolling pasture of ocean beyond
when I opened my eyes mid-crashing
and saw you staring into me
your heel pressing into the small of my back
and the ocean rolling in your eyes
I just kept crashing waves into the shore
and we flooded the tidal pool

verisimilitude
in fine connection
water and canoe
hazy and heightened
soaking in truths
sky o'er top me blew (blue?)
thin clouds by
this is true
glidesmooth reflection
island and tree
aged enlightened
brown, blue, and green
wind all 'round me blew
visions through sky
all of you

no shadows
06:17
|

no shadows
time removed it from itself
crawled through a hole
shed its shadows away from its former self
once was thick with beings
strangeness of taste
to the touch, to the sight of its former self
how emptiness can blind you
once did time compare
when it wrapped its web around your former self
but is there something here?
is this really empty?
could I find just a trace of my former self?
it's too light in the open room
so small without shadows
impossible to trust the light
it needs obstacles
and I need places to hide
how can I know the light is real
without a darkness to compare it to

twilight eyes

twilight eyes
deep sunset breath
clear twilight eyes
soft coloured clouds
sad humble cries
thick thundering waves
wet motionless rocks
loud lashing wind
quiet mindful talks
sad blinking stare
sun sinking to dim
quiet empty mind
loud ocean din
breathing deep the sunset breath
keeping clear the twilight eyes
when in sleep I will clearly see
under cold Atlantic skies
with sunset breath inside my chest
and clear twilight eyes

happy new year
you are beautiful everywhere
next to river or behind hair
smoking herbs or breathing air
I know all this I've tried to share
you reflect in the water's clear
I'm reflecting when you're not here
you lay beside me and pull me near
I say I love you, and you disappear
I know I'm not forward, but you ignore
you're all of that which I love and more
to end my ignorance, I implore
do you, to me, feel this for?
or am I just good times, nothing more

this gentle symmetry
what this is becoming
a gently symmetry
as long as we remember each other
and this isn't finite
no surmountable endings
as long as we remember each other
I'm gonna blow your mind
like you blasted open my eyes
I'm gonna blow your mind
like you blasted open my eyes, and my heart
and all through space
whatever timeline our light lands in
as long as we remember each other
I found you once, finally
and if I lose, or you lose me
we'll use this gentle symmetry
because this has become something infinite
something intimate
with no surmountable endings
I'm gonna blow your mind
like you blasted open my eyes
I'm gonna blow your mind
like you blasted open my eyes, and my heart
and all through space
wherever our lights end up
as long as we remember each other
we'll always be with each other

between those two points, a swingset
the passing trees
like sketchy film
the colourless
and sensing filled
the haziness
and clarified
the flickering fog
and open skies
in floating up (I realize in clear calm clouds)
the slow descent of land (the simple thoughts I know)
and sad understanding of distance (in faces for)
in faces for (the sad understanding of distance)
the simple thoughts I know (the slow descent of land)
and realize in clear calm clouds (in floating up)
the passing trees
and open skies
the colourless
and clarified
the haziness
and sensing filled
the flickering fog
like sketchy film

writing things

writing things
from everything I've done
my head seems to erase things
my mind seems to replace things with other things
as simple as the snow
as easy as the sleeping was last night
it's all changing
if it ever does
if my head stops erasing
and my mind quits replacing things
I'll stop writing things
