just a rough draft progress post.

feat. excerpt from Dylan Thomas's "Do not go gentle into that good night"

Carpe Noctum
The night will fall
and all of us will follow
The night will fall again
We’ll all be left alone

It’s alright, It’s alright

"Do not go gentle into that good night
Old age should burn and rave at close of day
Though wise men at their end know dark is right
For their words had forked no lightning they
Rage, rage against the dying of the light
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight
And learned, too late, they grieved it on its way
Rage, rage against the dying of the light
Do not go gentle into that good night"


Death is a white tree
Pale as a bone
we’ll fall from the branches
like leaves to the soil
Like a moth to the flames of change
its smoke to the sky
like a ship in dark water
we’ll sink into the night
We always sink into the night


Carpe Noctum (WIP)

Charlie Crow
Don't you know you're growing old
I hope that you’ll grow bold
find a new place to be
Charlie Crow
go find it on the open road
go where all the lost things go
there you will be free

Charlie Crow
spread your wings, let them grow
I know that you will go
where no crow’s ever been
Charlie Crow
don’t be afraid, don’t lose your way
you’ll find where the wildflowers grow
if only you trust the wind

Trust the wind

There we went
three foxes on the riverbend
leaves were falling grey and red
and crisp below our feet
Time’s like a wheel
rolling, rolling down a hill
only going faster as it goes
Head over heels
don't try to make it all stand still
cause that's just how it goes

So it goes

Into The Wild

Hey Luna
at the bottom of the well
your eyes sing a sad song
only color can tell
A longing unanswered
grown into an ache
deep enough to stir
the ocean’s tides and waves
Dear someday
you’ll escape this constant night
You’ll see the Sun my friend
you’ll see the sunlight

That constant bloom
that lovely tune
glowing with melancholy
That constant bloom
Claire de lune
the Sun it shines
for you
only you

Lucidity melts on her tongue
colors bloom from her eyes
flowing like the wings of moths that flew to her body when the city lights died
The moths they swam through moonlight.


Flor De La Luna

Waiting for the moon to rise
and paint the mountainside
with light that feels like you
We’re spiraling through time
lost inside our mind
like we forgot it’s all a dream

Well you’ve got stars in your soul
as above so below
Galaxies are swimmin’ in your eyes
And every time you smile
the Sun glows brighter for awhile
happy just to know that you’re alive

Pretend I’m waiting for the Sun to rise
fighting heavy eyes
just to spend more time with you
Cause you’ll be leaving soon
the current’s coming through
the flow that pulls on everything

You’ve got stars in your soul
as above so below
Galaxies are swimmin’ in your eyes
And every time you smile
the Sun glows brighter for awhile
happy just to know that you’re alive

Run, river run, river run
all that comes must go
Run, river run, river run
all that comes must go
How they come and go
how they come and go

And come the end, we’ll start again


Currents / Everything is flowing

Hello Ellie
make me feel so alive
Walkin’ through the mud
by my side
You picked up a frog and placed it
in my open palm
in the ghost town
next to the mesa
Where you listened to the buzzing of the bees
in the flowers behind the trampoline
You slept through the rainy sunshine

And you woke with a smile on your lips

Well hello Ellie felt like laughter in the morning
evening bats flying overhead
Dandelion memories
hangin’ on a Summer’s breeze
fireflies in the sky
with new, younger, brighter stars to fly by

I found love in desert rain
and skies ablaze
Black clouds floating like ravens
through sandstone flames
That desert rain
and skies ablaze
That desert rain
sings your name
and it'll tell you all the things I have to say


Kind Stranger

The Autumn King
to tired leaves
sings lullabies of endless sleep
Through tangled veins
the blood pervades
until all the forest’s
up in flames
Ashes, Ashes
down comes the gown
of gold and crimson
to the ground

So sing to me green
sing to me blue
All my favorite colors paint pictures of you
Sing to me Sol, sing to me Luna
I’ll wait for dreams to bloom

Now Father Time
sink inside
pools within
your endless eyes
the gears
the hands
the grains of sand
the ever spinning hourglass

Autumn

There lives a girl below our feet
deep underground where no light’s been
She cannot see, she cannot sing
her thoughts escape only a violin

When she listens close, she hears us think
beautiful thoughts of melancholy
and though she hears thoughts we dare not speak
she hears true beauty when we sleep

in the sea of our dreams
where the colors break the seams
in the secrets that we keep

Into the depths of night she plays her melody
paints the darkness with our dreams
Oceans, mountains, flowers, and trees
all painted by the Queen of Spring

in the sea of dreams
where the colors break the seams
In the silence the Earth keeps 


Spring/Synesthesia (WIP)

Lost memoirs of Montauk
Bury your roots in my veins
bury your roots in my veins
and say
Say you’ll stay
stay for the rain

tonight

Lonely limbs won’t you find mine
We'll have it all again

We’re counting lluvia

If only I could remember
thoughts lost in time
like daydreams of mine

Painless and bright
the blue-sky sunshine
of a spotless mind

Grains of sand, drops of rain
falling, keeping time
night and day
A nostalgic mind
sinking into daydreams
like dark seas
hiding a love from before
echoes from cellar doors
where the river meets the shore
of the collective unconscious

Gears in the clock of the mind
begin to bend and grind
distorting time
Shadows grow wild
wild in the night
If I forget them, I'll be fine

I wish I knew you when I was a kid

Remember
remember me

(Meet me in Montauk)
