water

I am the color of sand
and the sun barely touches me
as I lay shallow beneath the surface
I move when it is cool
and dream only one dream when I sleep
deep cerulean blue
moving, always moving
its skin heaving with its pulse
and a sound, sound like air, air but heavy...
crashing
awake I seek the dream
the sun burning itself down into the world
waves of heat move the horizon
as I shake the sand from my robes
I have heard that the world ends
and is sunk beneath a great live bitter water
and the water moves of its own volition
as far as any man can see
I live now only to see this water
my family and tribe far behind
so foolish they think me to seek the dream
this legend they do not believe

close concrete dream
© 1995 EYE MUSIC
silence is almost solid
the home of my muse lovely misery
I dream of her echoed breath
in chorus with delicious life
dripping from my fingers
the ink becomes blood
when the word is formed
and concept reaches solid matter
with the fluid pulse of flesh
I trace scarlet lines across her body
to the edge of her mouth
where one drop almost a perfect sphere
settles itself to half open lips
the ink becomes blood
when the word is formed
and concept reaches solid matter
with the fluid pulse of flesh
the taste of my life upon her mouth
yields pleasure beyond
fantasies scope
and it is so
silence shows its color in caress

Joseph and joseph
(c) 1996 Waking Nanepashemet
Joseph and joseph were born in a gun
they lived in the house of the ghost man's son
his world was spearheaded by the strength of his hate,
the other loved peace for its tragic fate
one climbed the mountain to spin the sun.
he saw the other coming down, his soul undone
he would turn the tiny lights off. It was black as slate
in the darkness that made way for stars to emanate.
the other was an actor echoed nothing real.
a man wants to give while the actor wants to steal.
Joseph wanted joseph to kneel down on the floor
but he was already there so he hated him more
Joseph killed joseph when he turned his back
the weeds choke the flowers, the winds blow the ash
the weeds choke the flowers, the winds blow the ash

STONE
© 1996 EYE MUSIC
stone, you help build
a construction of will
the blood and pain leave their mark
to carry the lesson through time
you turn quartz to obsidian
your edges scalloped and keen
flesh is your paper
you carve your pain into me
who are you
why do you hide yourself
behind silence
when your word could bring life from the dirt
stone, I now rest
in your impression
your form is engraved here
but the soil has begun to heal
the taste of your life
was sadistic to offer
you see I can not take
what I am selfish enough to want
who are you
why do you hide yourself
behind silence
when your word could bring life from the dirt

BOXTHORN

through painted mouth she came
a vision with words and the gift of melody
sensuously she almost sighed as she laid her body at my feet
dream she breathed and all color and word were alive
the walls of man faded from around me
and the source of all became clear
I can give you words
I can give you peace
I can give you dreams
I can give you words
I can give you peace
I can give you dreams.
with this perspective
I was shown my place
and realized
how hollow and small I am
emotion and fear rolled about me
each wave of past crashing upon me
forcing me under to suffocate
in my regret alone and afraid
I can give you words
I can give you peace
I can give you dreams
I can give you words
I can give you peace
I can give you dreams.
what would you do,
do for this?
what would you do,
do for me?
what would you do,
do for this?
what would you do for me...
I would drink the water
forget the wine
leave my family
deny other divine
offer to you
all that is mine
plant many a field for you
of the matrimony vine.
again her words reached me
as did her touch
with her hands upon my eyes
her whispered voice gave me sanctuary
sanctuary, from crushing infinity

BEETHOVEN WAS MY LOVER
© 1993 EYE MUSIC
Beethoven was my lover
Tchaikovsky knew his fate
Ravel dropped the ball
but Puccini knew all along
I knew a boy named Peter
and he knew a girl named Kate
as they stood on top of the hill
they looked down and decided to hate
thin as a wraith and pale as well
black spiky hair looking like gorgeous hell
she wide eyed
blood painted lips
hint of a smile
shoes pointedly equipped
now there was your boy named Peter
and he had with him a girl named Kate
well they decided it was up to them to choose their own fate
and as the crowds would gather round
pointing and questioning they’d say...
you don’t exist
there was your boy named Peter
and he had with him a girl named Kate
they decided not to play the game the way society dictates
I knew a boy, I knew a boy, I knew a boy ...
who knew how to hate
Beethoven was my lover
Tchaikovsky knew his fate
Ravel dropped the ball
but Puccini knew all along
Peter and Kate, Peter and Kate
knew how to hate
you don’t exist

SONG OF CANNONICUS
© 1995 EYE MUSIC
Life,
I can feel it spilling from me
if you keep some
we can taste Manitou
we will ride the river together in dream
I will find you,
and we will stand in the old ways
we cannot be held back, we are the river
our will cannot be changed, we are the river
our strength will not run dry, we are the river
we bring life, we are the river
the yenguis watch and listen
as if we were unreal
calmly amused until we walk in their world
our steps will turn their stone to fields
and our song will keep them from rest
we will tear down all their illusions
and show them to the soil
we cannot be held back, we are the river
our will cannot be changed, we are the river
our strength will not run dry, we are the river
we bring life, we are the river
