Voyage

down a passage
in the middle
of an obscure dream . . .

through a tunnel
in the center
of my mortal seam . . .

in the secret
buried past
something stayed behind. . .

beneath the cape
of dark unknown
deep inside my mind . . .

in the darkness
of the sea
steering on the moon . . .

i saw the shoals
on my port beam
and not a bit too soon. . .

Getaway

get back, baby
you're a putdown child
makin' vibes
much too wild

get back woman
i've lost my mind
i'm wantin' things
i'll never find

get back, baby
you don't want me
i've paid so much
to be so free

get back, woman
you broke my heart
i'm outta here
and fall'n apart

Nervequake

Mount Everest at its highest peak
nor its coldest windy breath
can touch the chill i've lately felt
and wanted so to lose
but never seems to change
except for those warm times
inside the ston'ed walls
of my own private castle
where the floors are not a tremor
and the walls are not
a ringing pain of force
and the animals
only show their teeth
in happy smiles . . .

Moons .. .

moons have come
and moons have gone
and days both cold and gray:
these times apart
have chilled my heart
and cooled the lamp of love. . .
the road is long
and made of stone
the game is o'er
the dice are thrown,

once i thought
you hung the moon
but it fell down
and all too soon . . .

Swirls

The road not taken

two roads converged in a wood, and I
took the one less traveled by
and that has made all the difference. . .
