a single flame
lives and breathes
without a flicker
in a still room

a single word
writhes in silence
without a flicker
it moves around me

a single mind
swirls with inspiration
without a flicker
in a still world

we transcend and change
are scared to turn around
for fear the flame
will be gone.



get closer every day
a closing of the way
time is over, over time
around they go to stop, to know.

Another time I wonder vain,
can they handle minds insane,
I look to heaven, heaven hell,
divided mind the question wells.

Too little, little late,
Too much to love, a horrid fate,
Think of death of life and love,
and oh, to love the stars above.


freedom reigns, a vein explodes,
 my death too soon it comes, I go
I think of dreams as yet undone,
in life the pain and joy and fun.




Jesus Mary Mother God,
my veins explode, my head is pounding
visions leap , I am inspired
inside my journey's heart I'm tired

Escape regret, be calm don't worry
the strangle hold's release is past
we ride the waves of strange sensation
I feel the end is coming fast.

A glimpse of god, I shed a tear
my garment rends, divine delight
I see the world from inside out
I feel my mind from outside in

It's black and white and red all over
red as dawn a dirty sky
an owl's face be calm don't worry
a step ahead and glance behind.



Infinity crosses and never ends
it swirls in godly perfection
as the hip of a woman
or a stretch of mountains
a picture of the earth
or a mask made by a child

a circle or an X
a number, a state of mind
a closure but an opening
another way to see the end

we all live in a molecule inside the ink
on the edge of this infinity.



Wise and forlorn
to seas of empty time
a distant voice
on a broken record

and a pair of legs without a body

when five lights shine.


It is endless
the possible outcomes
the limitless non existent bounds
held within the finite reality
of a blank piece of paper.


Movement
inside stillness
of a man
a brain
a thought to move men

to change reality.
