holiday

lose track of time
it's all or nothing
for the feeble minds
dilly dally the days
its not like you work
anyway
so we look forward
to holidays
just give us the break
it all goes
on what you say

in progress

guilty as charged
i took the lid
off the jar
Pandora,
where are you?
back to
ruby red blues
in my guttural amiss
love is bold
and i teeter
on the axis

with an armour
of dirt & salt
fistfulla naught

turing the big wheel
of fate
i got on my galatic skates

my mouth
full of teeth
grinding the bit

no hero nor saint
only searching
for free weight

wildfire

covered in smoke
outside looks like
a war zone
fires burn
near and far
trapped in
Earth's
little ant jar
kill the weeds
burn the seed
keep us walking
in a living dream
cause everyday
I wake
I'm still
in the clouds
and cannot
find the hidden
way out

Bjork



cover me
keep me in this hidden place
swallowed by
the orchestra of her voice
it elevates me
higher
higher
i am evolving
through her pitch
it reaches
the inner most strings
of my fragmented being
and brings me back to 13
replacing the missing
elements in me
who would have known
a beauty this immense
engulfed by a heavy
wave of emotion
she guides my bones
through some voltage
a splendid sparkling fire
a lioness firehart passion
an army of her
i'm hypnotized by the whirl
as it unravels my core
peeling off the layers
the sound of my
insides out
a path of cinders
reflected back at me
to digest
melody by melody
relentlessly craving
surrender so sweet
layered in beauty
swirling black lillies
underneath
my skin
my eyes
they well up
my interior satisfied
with the audible clarity
it liberates me
like a secret to hear
a whisper in water
higher
higher
a musical retreat
to hidden places
locks up my chest
how beautiful to be
celebrating now
the chills on
my flesh
intoxicated by
emotional landscapes
of an Icelandic goddess
flailing and flaring on stage
exploding this body in
a colorful wave of emotion
embracing
the lining of my soul
a home has been found
i'm safe up here with you
