Midnights Land
To sleep the sleep of forgetfulness
Hand in hand in midnights land
We sleep the sleep of forgetfulness
Alone I stand in midnights land
So forget me if you can
We found bones and stones
Song lines we never heard
With my culture of hurt
So forget me if you can
We made marks and masks
To sleep the sleep of forgetfulness
Hand in hand in midnights land
We sleep the sleep of forgetfulness
Alone I stand in midnights land
So forget me if you can
We conceived wands of beyond
Song lines we never heard
With my culture of hurt
So forget me if you can
We found sparks and stars
To sleep the sleep of forgetfulnes

Shadow Princess
Somewhere deep in the flow of your breath
I am suspended
Misty swirling vapour I am
A whisper of love dissolving
Dissolving love
Somewhere in your sweet heart
I am an echo
Whispering softly fading I am
A touch of light decaying
Decaying light
Somewhere in the light that makes you smile
I am a tear
Returning, residual reflection I am
A taste of longing after quenching
Vast subterranean world of magic
Deep rich spices of the far away
Somewhere in the dark night of your aloneness
I am reaching
Touching timeless
A taste of loss lingering
Lingering light I am
Casting a shadow princess

Far from Here

Far from Here
Stepping lightly
Barely touching
Bewitch me
In this suffering
I am with you far from here
Feel the pain of too much tenderness
Far from here, awake at dawn with a winged heart
Far from here I am with you
Far from here
This spring arising
Wild waste of snows
Search the air, sensing
How deep love flows
I am with you far from here
Feel the pain of too much tenderness
Far from here, awake at dawn with a winged heart
Far from here I am with you
Far from here
Brock now bone dry
Dust of certainty
Listen for colour of sky
Unfolding mystery
I am with you far from here
Feel the pain of too much tenderness
Far from here, awake at dawn with a winged heart
Far from here I am with you
Far from here
Wounded in desire far from here
If I could hold you in my darkness
Darkness

We Are Sun
Winter solstice
Freezing
So soft and so hard
Holding this broken
In my hands
Not located or receiving
Pointless and faceless
There ‘s no one there
Paralysis
A bright light
Flash dark and blue
Drinking deprivation
And glimpsing stillness
Not located or receiving
Pointless and faceless
There’s no one there
How then can the light shine on
We are placeless
The old pain
Utterly human
We are sun

States of Consciousness
And I held her, in my arms
After all my ministering, the little one
Was still clearly suffering, such is the nature
Of the nervous system, they told me
Her name is Angel and you must sing to her
I know not what I sang
I opened my heart and out it rang
And we fell, and we fell
Into emptiness
Within her eyes touched below
The brooding skies of sun pierced clouds
Suspended there in the late afternoon
The sea birds cry and my heart’s desire
Light came straight through me
I know not what I sang
I opened my heart and out it rang
And we fell, and we fell
Into emptiness
The mind sighs and we sink deep
She returns from the edge of sleep
To etch her eyes in my memory
The final fall of her last breath
I feel something primal leave me
I know not what I sang
I opened my heart and out it rang
And we fell, and we fell
Into emptiness
The Spark
Lightning, burning, this flame of life
Pulsing, heaving, in a stream of light
The spark becomes dark

Goddess

Goddess
Oh sweet one
The one who loves deepest
Hurts the most
One day that which binds releases
And is broken
Oh bitter one
The one who tastes suffering
Unable to digest
One day the wound of time is healed
And is excreted
Oh innocent one
The one whose culture is utterly foreign
Was taken
And still dreams of the warmth
Of her smile
Oh corrupt one
Wouldst I have held you any closer
Is that possible
Or will hope also rest
In this emptiness

Cocoon of Night

Cocoon of Night
Cocoon of night that binds us
Strands of light somehow, sometimes to touching
Crazy compulsion, current obsession
Full of emotion, misapprehension
Cocoon of night that sleeps us
May you ignite a pure intention in a deranged mind
Solace in failure, undying love
Spell, spasm and seizure, the pale grey owl descends
If love could take this pain away
But this pain is love
If time could heal my wounded mind
But the wound is time
If these words could bring you back to me
But these words are wind
Cocoon of night that absorbs us
The bird’s flight, a bubbling well
A sustained grasping are all velvet
A scent, a secretion an emanation of mutability
If love could take this pain away
But this pain is love
If time could heal my wounded mind
But the wound is time
If these words could bring you back to me
But these words are wind

The Decay of Memory
Remember me
The decay of memory
My sweet love, my sweet, sweet love
I will find you, I will find you
Again, again, again
Alone
In between us
There is a place
Far beyond
We have never been
All my everything
My sweet desire
I am lost
Will you not find me
My whole body
Full of loneliness and tears
I pass through the gate
Of the universe
In the silence of my room space
Like Radha crying Krishna
In the deepest forest
In the darkest night
When the burden finally breaks
And all hope is gone
Here in this city of perpetual suffering
All sorrows cannot be borne
