Shoulders and Whispers

Shoulders and whispers and shoulders and whispers you can touch
Together we work in the dark
Once he hears he has to stop
Once he falls he must get up
Shoulders and whispers and shoulders and whispers you can touch
Together we work in the dark
Once I feel I have to stop
Once I fear I must get out

Suicide of untold life
A magnitude that shoves and hides
Befriended by a solitary marching band
Continues with their ruse
You're a wild creature Impossible to tame
Breaking chairs, rolling beds
Chase away you chase away you chase away
No more games
No more refrains
No more sustains
They stay the same
But you will always change
You change
Endless wandering
That not ever knowing
Flowers bloom beautiful for just one night

A row house
On a beach side mooring Your boat world
Neutral this morning
Seek the call
That’ll settle scores Unfolding papers
Stack them later
Fall down proper
Meet then stop her
He is willing
Oh so willing
Greet the matches
Strong yet passive
Deed the righteous
Mighty crisis
You laugh
You leave
You lapse
You lie
Montenegro solo silver
Watch the tears or tear in mirrors
You see the star to chase your fears
You ripen here and there is no
Mistaking all the overflow.
We go
Solow
The fade
And you can see her
You can smear
You can sweat you can walk
You can drive you can hide
You’re riding your bike and you smash on the ground
You taste the cement and blood in your mouth
You catch a glimpse of a corpse walker
Dragging his tired bones across the street
He’s always on the go by his lonesome
In a welt of wailing things that get them riding around
Be it from out of town
Be it the ones you expect
You need them now
And oh god they’re not laughing
It’s a life
You’re a wife
None say untrue
All of them waiting
Checked in and checked out
Not now -- not what she says, not what she means
But you know she’s always right
So talk to it. Learn to dance with it. Love it.
Forget it. Roll over and play dead.
Golden leaf
In the dawn
Dark night befall
The ancients sleep in casements
Softly whisper your thoughts
To me and say the words
That are meant to be
Time for folly
Souls grow weary
Architecture
Finely lectured
Time for slices
Ripe and violet
Lighter graces
Full moon faces
You lead, You land, You lose, You lie
End of folly end of folly
I believe that you in time
Will make the words that fit my mind
You do You did, You see, You saw
The one you knew You thought you know
We go so low
The fade

Destiny began
Heartbeat in a random street Near an open wound Sealing horizontal mood
Slack in moral graft
Sit in saline bath-arrays
Mortar for the cracks
Bend through without mortal stain
Killer I want to let you in

Ghosts Of Love

I live in the ocean
On a bridge of fire
Wait under the water
Marigold Marigold Marigold
Reach you try to touch you
I see you so clear
Disappear completely
Are you even there?
And as luck would have it
I hear you call my name
Out into garden
Underneath the moonlight
Marigold, Marigold, Marigold
All our mistakes
Went to my head
Rain all day long
Sea swells instead
Buried in the garden
Under shade of darkness
Heartbeat burning brightly
In an unexpected way
Marigold, Marigold, Marigold

Lie down with me
I’ve gotta believe
What is racing
Cannot conceal
All the women they wash in the river
Wicker is wound by the rail
All I really wind up before leaving
Is our bedding and what it entails
Failing at once
Too late good night
Failing it twice
And lost and say goodbye
Or you or I will stay at bay deny
All of us rise and take our time
The radio speaks with conviction
Broadcasts a long-distance call
The amber alert has us reeling
And rocking in regular time
The vagabonds are gleaning
Under the glaring bright of day
More than means allow it baby
Pay off your bets and steal away
Oh lady oh lady oh lady oh
Be good to me

Never Be Sure
02:27

I lost my love
Spun around and vanished in thin air
Now he is living on Jupiter
I see him on starry nights so clear
I lost my love
When I ran into another’s arms
Fell under a heart-spell amnesia
One sip the next we were done
And all I know: I can never be sure
And all I have is blowing down corridors
And all I know: be careful of what you wish
Cause what we had is gone
I found my love
He sees me and he hears me when I sing
Search the night sky catch a glimpse of him
I never thought I’d fall in love again
And all I know: happy ever after
And all I know is there can be more than one
And all I ask: please don’t call me a friend
Please call me

Hard Feelings

When the night is gone
Please don’t leave me
I have to know
Where do you go?
Freezing pleasing
Need for release
Tomorrow plan
Know when
Please don’t leave me
Laughing completion
A reeling hand in demand
Follow me upstairs
Daring in unpaired
And unprepared
The faring well
And now a lark is the state of art
It's a race for us but the saved are stuck
And the weight is hard and the wait is hard
And the test for best is awaiting stars
Stars don't come when seasons go
Wind wound up in fastest folds
Shatters goals of the matadors
Common knowledge is red galore
So shame me up and leave me lost
Can't quite see the waning cost
In the visages of the wistful freed up
You know but you don't know freedom
Care for your absence
Stare at a lapsed sense
Of derring do
Missing you
Fairest the rested
Who’s set on a test
She took for herself—-no win I wish you well

Mordecai

Fading is wise
In a passage of time
Do you crumble naked
Control all your feelings?
I wanted to call
But the door wouldn’t open
It turned to a window
And smashed on a turnstile
Into L.A.
Out of your mind
Find the last thought
Make it count
Rise with your eyes closed
Cover the sign
Obscure all the details
Disappear in an instant
Saw your name etched
On a book you inscribed
You wrote deep you wrote long
But they don’t read and they don’t care
I know my love
Do you lie
It’s about repose
Mordecai Richler appears in a dream
Talks about that time I stopped him on the street
His autograph written right there on his spine
He’s stuck now in heaven with his mom at his side
Beauteous
On the right hand
In the wayward alright
Oh and fine by degrees
Beauty lasts
Fading
