By The Sea

Shingle, grass and rust.
Power clear, resistance dust.
Ground recedes, swallowed whole,
waves take it all.
Horizon of hope.
Three-sailed flowers open up.
Sky takes my wandering eye.
I am hers.
Current drags us all.
Engines fight for now
and land us 'safe',
back at the start.
Jewels jump from mud
and caterpillars hide from the wind and rain.
We all go home,
and I leave my twin, by the sea.
Current drags us all.
Engines fight for now
and land us 'safe',
back at the start.
Tied up to floats,
Not yet sinking, broken boats.
We all go home,
and I leave my twin, by the sea.

Left Behind

|
dreams long smashed, buried in a fog of years
all too heartbreaking to think about what might have been
bodies wrecked, hands shake with a need
give away the hidden depths to which the once-bright can sink
to be caught
in the limestone walls
in the grey mist of skies
to be caught
where there's seldom light
for the left-behind
to know of more ways to trick and cheat
yet know of no strength to reach escape velocity
what a waste, thinking clouded
clear air thickened to soup, clear roads fault-lined and slipped
to be caught
in the limestone walls
in the grey mist of skies
to be caught
where there's seldom light
for the left-behind
landslide kinder, an instant release
instead of slow gather of sediments around the feet
for those of us who escape the madness
a new madness of those we leave behind
so much resignation and tiredness
feel it coming in to you

Love Will Win
04:36
|

Up and down, yo-yo style. String goes slack.
Pulled along, thinnest thread, nearly gone.
Patch us up, plug the holes, bail us out.
Before the dawn, dark of night, but sun is found.
Because love will win, every time.
Love will win, given time.
Lifted up, get so high, bound to fall.
Let it go or take a hold, we're always fighting.
Want the best for everyone, where does it lie?
Before the dawn, dark of night, sun will rise.
Because love will win, every time.
Love will win, given time.

Is it cold
where you are
does it slow your bones like it slows mine?
Is it cold
in your heart
do you feel a chill and smash mirrors apart?
Fine days are these where miles are many
that keep us away from facing the blood.
Fine days made real by ourselves then cast off as any
clothes without care, drifting clothes in the flood.
Ghosts are all over
do you see them too
where you wake every day
where they follow you?
To me they are real
and giants of worlds
of disbelief
and reason unheard.
Fine days are these where miles are many
that keep us away from facing the blood.
Fine days made real by ourselves then cast off as any
clothes without care, drifting clothes in the flood...
To me they are real
and giants of worlds
of reason unheard.
