MY MISTAKE
------------------
I lacked that tenacity you forecasted for me
last week

I lost my grip

the steadfastness and patience
you prayed for
was lost on me
the way pages are lost flinging
from an open case

tattered, worn/leathered
open case
that files away
unanswered questions, as if they never         pile up

my resolute demeanour that
escapes me now
I boasted so gracefully

with rough tongue i do
lick my wounds
and tears i kept for too long
do well to subdue
the promise of your return

I lie with hope every night
leaving myself alone

that determination you thought you saw in my eyes
was certain, daunting anger
hidden rage barking in the voice of hate

so righteous I became;
the director and projector of my pain

when the truth is a story of the choiceless one must
begin again

such a clean-slate you flung at me
all it caught was this ego-stenched
pungent smell of fury

it drips over my every move
like poison to fool
those blessings you shower upon me now
those borrowed tears I’ve used
trying to wipe away my mistake –
my de-robed mind

Just for the record I don't have pyromanic tendencies it's just that my artist name burn.it.smith is a corruption of my actual name Burnet Smith so things tend to gravitate towards the word 'burn' but who knows, they say there is no smoke without fire :)))

Burning issues
Holes in pockets
Candles at both ends
I'll even burn this meat to a cinder
To impress my lady friend

I'm no slow learner
There is no back burner
I like to burn and slash
When it's required fight fire with fire
Or blow smoke up your ass

Chinese burns
No returns
On this I am hard-wired
I hope you learned with me you'll get burned
Then we'll get on like a house on fire!

Burn

RISES IN YOUR EYES

so fall to the very arms i love
i seek, I seek
i forever believe in this
believe

for what else is therein
is that we long for what we don’t 
don’t know

diya*

Eyes like moon
oh i know i know
oh i know i know

i know i know
the moon rises in your eyes
moon rise in your eyes
rise in your eyes
your eyes
your eyes

the moon
(and I) buckle under pressure
under pressure
the moon rise in your eyes
and it calms

calm me down
the moon rises in your
calm me down
in your eyes
calm me down

Lyrics are phrases from this poem "Flooding In" https://nothingispersonal.wordpress.com/2016/11/18/flooding-in/
& "Tall Trees" https://nothingispersonal.wordpress.com/2011/04/02/tall-ceilings/

FLOODING IN
simply a watershed for a window that never bleeds
only my eyes keep it all from flooding in
the only light seen before me as i begin
to make moonlight echo like sound breaks moving waves

the only light seen
like sound breaks
moving waves
sunshine begins
the day parts and i sing

i never bleed dry
i always am the fool
i won’t hold regret
for the eye that never bleeds

the window keeps it all
from flooding in

TALL TREES
For without long hallways and tall ceilings there is little
ledge to perch
corridors plenty with windows carving etchings for shadow or light

here my voice carries well
fresh & cool as nightingale calls amidst tall columns of birch
i crave to hear the echo

I WAS SURE
I put my hand in the fire
I put my hand in the fire a long time ago

All the pieces of the board
they’re lost on me
I know they were there before…

I put my hand in the fire

They’re lost on me
the pieces on the board
they’re no more….

They were there before

And I’m still burnin

where did the pieces go?
they were there before….

And I’m still burnin

Queen was looking on you….
… King likes to shiver we know, we know, we know

they were there before…sure I was sure
they were there before

sure i was sure
those pieces on the board

pawns under your toes
all the silence and hopes

and i’m still burnin
psssst…. and i’m still burnin

oh right away! its nothing I could capture!
yeah you try and then so… where did the pieces go?
they were there before
sure, i was sure….

on the board
on the board
all aboard
if you wanna disappear
if you wanna disappear
if you wanna
disappear
come on aboard!
cause i seen those pieces disappear
on the board
on the board
on the board!

sure i was sure

This poem was also weaved into this song https://soundcloud.com/myrhyum/beauty-soul-maat
WARMTH
---------------
and i go to those hidden valleys and ridges
known to the likes of ancient creatures and spirits
and with my eyes down and my hair wild
i ask my lovers of past
to take my picture

as if the mist did never have lips!
and mossy bark won’t hold even a scrape of my skin!
there standing in
defiance and manic understanding
like a tease
my hair wild

i feel
i am no mystery
without my warmth
for the cold-pressed loss
lasts, lasts
time itself, baked in your name

the creatures and spirits
my eyes and hair,
we burn
and rise once again

so lovers of past
take my picture
for my warmth i send

background lyrics:

FILLIIN UP WITH MO

see far, no worry my love
said we never know (wait...)
oh all i can say
I am full and 

said i wanted for nothing more
said i wanted for nothing more

my love
well we never know (really) know a way
a way

said i wanted for nothing more
said i wanted for nothing more

still fillin up with mo

and I'm still fillin up with more
fillin up with mo

I am full and i'm fillin up some mo*!

DAY DREAMING NIGHTS
________________________
carry up to town
day dreaming day/night
i hear someone
my loved one, (saying) come home

i hear knocking
home
who’s at my door?
who’s at my door?
who’s at my door?
i hear you knocking
come home
come home
come home

day dreams at night
dreaming the same dream

is the morning really going to come
times are changing
is the morning really gong to come
carry up to dawn
day dreaming night
day dreaming night
i hear someone

my loved one come home
come home

come home
come home

in our dreams


is the morning really gong to come take us away?
does the morning ever (really come)?

come home
