All The Dreams

All the dreams
Have been washed down
By prickly feelings
Talks on the phone
And the worlds at your doorstep
That you fail to keep
There is more to eyes than vision
And all the colours are wrong
Because we see them
I had once a human being inside of me
But now there are several
Or perhaps no one
It doesn’t suit me fine
But that’s the way the clock chimes
Twice
Or in silence
I’ll put you to bed
Cold creatures and linen
In the steam of reason we will ascend
With no other way to come back
But to condense
And precipitate into being
When Heaven is a foe
Or a much desired friend
Loss can stand in your way
Words condense only in your mind
Everywhere else they are free
Free from form
From free form
Deform the free
‘Cause somebody’s dream
Is to end everybody else’s
So beware of conflicting thoughts

Our Last Goodbye To Memory

I asked god for the receipt
He was being stubborn
So I pulled out my gun
Shot twice
In the heart
But I forgot he had three
So he stood there
Waiting for me
To say something, I’m sure
Or even reload
If I had more bullets
I quit and left the store
I said
I’m not coming here no more
He said
I think you’re wrong
You’ve left something on the floor
I ran back
He locked the door
But he didn’t call for the paramedics
Funny
I said
But no more
He said
What have you got to hide?
Don’t you want to finish what you’ve started?
What about starting what I’ll finish?
Is that the right answer?
You keep asking the wrong questions
How am I to know?
Oh yeah, I forgot
You’re a figment
I’m just the spur of the moment
That never stopped me from going
Here to there
Somewhere
Maybe I’ll be cold when I’m old
Maybe I’ll be dead when I’ve had
All the dreams
And all the hopes
One could hope to dream
From heaven to hell
And back

Captured By Freedom

Last night
Left someone else's taste
In my mouth
I wonder where all the words have gone?
How can the universe fade
And regrow
From moment to moment?
How can instants be lost
More easily than change?
Do you have a dime for me mister?
I forgot all about money
When I was kissing your lips
Though now I rememer who paid the bill
It doesn't matter
I remember it now
It were your eyes that took me hostage
Your eyes that kept me warm
Your eyes that held me
Through night's embrace
How I miss the hours I cannot recall
I want back every second I had with you
I want to let go
On my own terms
I want to let go
With common consent
An agreement between me and the universe
Don't get involved
It's going to get nasty
But I'm looking forward to it
Or backwards on it
This is it
Our last goodbye to memory
Give me what I want
And I will leave you alone
But if you don't
Then I'll have to stay
Until you do
And I do
