On the threshold of yet another
This something, not so distant…
Blurried visions, looking forward,
Wish this world were more persistent.
And the night sky, struck with
Lightning-like storms of stars,
Of hail, of haze,
Just lies there
Looking out.
Ignores the blues and clouds of daze…
Awaken from your slumber,
But stay here in your sleep.
Believe me when I tell you that
Your dreams have fallen deep.
Caress my mind, engulf it
With your empty open stare
Leave me wondering
While you’re hovering
In the darkened wintry air.
Secrets
Held tight, held close
Whisper silence.
Not a word…
And yet, glinting with excitement
Are your eyes
So undeterred.
Tell me,
Sky of darkness
Why do you shine so bright?
For even in your bleakest moods
I see your inner light…
Fails to understand
That this night outshines the day
Calls my thinking backwards
As do others.
Let me say…
I know not common reason.
My ways are all my own.
I speak in words hypnotic,
Inspired by worlds unknown.
This second sings for hours,
Humming slowly in my mind
And all the while, three thousand
Lifetimes flash before my eyes…
Calm. Seemingly quiet.
Like the night.
So undisturbed.
I’ll lead you by the hand this time
If you take your place upstairs.
With the stars, with the nights,
With the music.
Anywhere…

poetry night mystery future new year no rules

Mmm, thoughts… Delicious and sweet.
Meld in between with the rhythm’s heartbeat.

I’ll be, the scene in due time…
Right here and real, not sealed in the back of your mind.

And I’m wondering, as you’re waiting.
Keep on coming. Complicated.
Reasons wrote down, unrelated
To the answers in my head…

And I’m feeling unafraid and
I know it’s not too late -

So follow me, I’m falling down
And all I need will come around

Don’t need to run ahead…

Just lower your voice and lean right in
The moments are pressing up against
The time, and I…
Know. I need another
Night like this.

I’m wandering down that road again.
So come with me, go on, take my hand.

Pull me closer to what keeps running from…

-

I’m lost… I dare not to speak.
Completely fearless though I believe what’s not seen.

Not me, but the feat that you climb…
Right here and real, not sealed in the back of your mind.

And I’m pondering, as you’re pacing.
All these demons we’ve been facing.
Feeling broke down, aggravated
By the questions they misread…

And you’re feeling so afraid yet
I know it’s not too late -

So follow me, I’m falling down
And all you need will come around

Don’t need to run ahead…

Just lower your voice and lean right in
The moments are pressing up against
The time, and I…
Know. You need another
Night like this.

You’re wandering down that road again.
So come with me, go on, take my hand.

Pull me closer to what keeps running from…

-

Draw me inside out. Tell me all about:
The world, your dreams, the Self I hide.
Something’s seeping in and can’t let it go
But still I’m terrified.
And watching every word I make
And prepping every turn I take
To keep my reasons rational

But I’m quickly losing at this fight…

-

Mmm, thoughts… you’re starting to leak.
Straight out my mind, I find, your strength has gone weak.

I’ll leave, preconceptions behind…
We’re right here and real, not sealed, in the back of my mind.

And you’re sauntering, as I’m swaying.
Quick to taunt me and I’m just playing…
Need to know that, I’m just saying -
How it’s free and flowing now.

And I’m feeling unafraid and
You know it’s not too late -

So follow me, I’m falling down
And all I need will come around

Don’t need to run ahead…

Just lower your voice and lean right in
The moments are pressing up against
The time, and I…
Know. I need another
Night like this.

I’m wandering down that road again.
So come with me, go on, take my hand.

Pull me closer to what keeps running from…
