Superpower

I dreamed of water, and a carnival all to myself. Chaos and uniformed madness were in my view, and I stood and watched you in my warm safe corner.
It was not a lie, and all these things were really here swimming in my night, in my peaceful, vibrant dreams. Rush me once again and say goodnight my sweet one,....goodnight.

speed

straighten your brow, my dear romeo
you let me hang on your lies searching for bliss
 this sunshine you've got intensifies
 but I have you wrapped just so
 round my painted fingertips
 you got your hands so full
of everything you shouldn't enjoy
you catch me, your high strung lines
the vapid playtime acts
of a silly little boy
years make no man
so sit right down, there's a long way to go
plain as your sun-shiny day
blinding
she already knows
even into our dark as it comes, swiftly in
 I stay and I wait and I see
 so go ahead and say nothing now
 today is the day
 you were conquered by me.

Cosmos

Your stars
are my blue sky
and your moon
my eternal sun
never imagined I would know you
never thought to turn
and run
with you my soul lies swelling
full with love's
dormant state
happy for the good times
pretty princess held in wait
baby let's just pretend
that I know nothing of
this love
to be with you
I bathe myself in patience
hoping oneday
to be enough
Amidst these broken rules
your muse will surely fall
sommersault away
a stoic lovesick
fool
now its all so changed
vanished butterflies
too soon
if you could see blue sky
like I do
my sun could melt
your moon.

darling dont stare too long
no more than a required glance
just keep twisting me and twisting me
past your lofty told sentence and forgotten
circumstance
I know you perceive my wonder
but you dont really want to know
how I lost all my breath for you
and still you allow me go
never did two souls set fire
so stunningly as ours
colorful magic filled flames
so darkly boxed up now
forced into tame
made me thine courtesan
my true love you had the lot
gave you a thousand days to love me
and a thousand
to get caught

Burn

sunken down beneath the scene
with my pile of matchsticks
set to rapid fire
I burned for you
from a ten thousand foot view
of old sentiments and unread stories
now didnt we really know
the faint bird on the wire
goes silent
and lies flare up
like hard won tears
when we all look back
from under our tattooed eyes
slinging twisted thoughts
will we straighten out
our collars once again
smooth down a sullen brow
when night rolls in heavy by the inch
with its crisp cooling edges
will we follow where we should
and leave embers a glow
or do we ask to our heavens
a tenuous earthly favor
claiming nothing to prove
for who will hold these flames
when you feel their burn

Sky Pilot

it all comes back around
when self preservation is loaded up
and steel fences laying down
its not too late
it all comes back around
music floats like dancing
so we try again in vain
for stones to come unsetteled
or leave the way they came
pray the world should spin away
and we keep begging to hold on
its really not too late now
it all comes back around
lets move a little swifter
still each day at it's time
I let you kiss upon me
then steal it for my mind
I can see your shadow stay there
big brown eyes do wear their crown
it's really not too late now
it all comes back around
all you gave here was addiction
let dream circus spin undone
breaking hearts who dreamed upon you
the fool who almost won
I got something to know see
floating hills around this town
today I own too late dear
it all comes back around.

Winter

Socrates did not know much for love
never new never true could it be
And you never called me genius
assigned to fortune then
I now see
