I swore I'd find someplace inside my head,
A spot I'd been when I was eight or nine. 
In you, I confide.
I'm melting in your hand
& warmth fills the walls along my heart.

Cadence of light passes
through our eyes.
Revealing color I cannot describe.
There is no sound,
all is still & so profound.
Ethereal,
like air between the clouds.

We'd meet day & night
about an hour before sunset & sunrise. 
And that moment of time
flowed so sweetly
as the golden sky
Faded into night.

& the Moon gave rise.
Her crescent smile shining bright
and spoke to us about her life.
The mood was bittersweet.
All the good & bad she's seen
its' relived every time she dreams.

Moon Song

Well I'm betting you had figured that
you were not much more than an abandoned passing thought.
Quite the contrary, 
your extraordinary humbling existence has brightened up my soul.

Don't claim to know too much.
Just a tad out of touch.
Dystopic paradise,
you can hang here 
if you play your part.
Cut our your cheap talk.
Can't finish what you start.
Waste of space & breath,
not a single clue who you are. 

Early December, if I remember. 
You were singing songs about a friend whom you had lost.
It's a given, no explanation
was needed to convey mutual emotion in our thoughts.
I blink my eyes, it's already July.
Time gave way to a side of you I thought had up & died.
Under yellow moon light, 
oh its such a sight.
A series of neon halos illuminate the sky.

Neon Halo

Fellow prisoner of reality.
Well what is it exactly in which we seek?
It's constantly escaping me. 
Wonder, was this ever something within my reach?
So let's get lost in time,
take a moment to let perspective unwind. 
What you figure we'll find?
I think we'll lose our minds.

Ever wonder bout your place in space, 
& how where you are is where you may begin?
Life's mystery she just kept teasing me
& like the fool i am I carry on til I cave in. 
What's in your head? 
Those patterns on the wall 
wont tell you nothing,
even though you've stared so long.
I'm stuck in there. 
Forever nowhere. 
Waiting for my day to come. 

Treading time.

Allegory of the Cave

Came & went your siren call.
An airy whisper of blank resolve.
What was life but a framing device,
suspended by light as told by our minds.
Dead men wander desolate plains
aimlessly awaiting end of days.
& that guiding light's been aging in the sky
It would seem time's no longer on her side.

Nowhere to go in the wrath of the afterglow.
Her wick approaches white wax below.

Sail this ship into the sun for you're the only one among
those you knew are long past gone.
This bitter red giant, magnificent in size.
Burning everything in sight.

It's a helluva way to go.
Engulfed by a scorching glow,
the source that has sustained life. 
Who who would have known 
this would be the end of your rope.
Nothing can forever shine.
