Another Two
04:23

|
Crashing out in a novel conversation.
(Fighting, paralyzed)
Fashion everything outside
and out of mind.
(Minding my signs)
Reconciled in a piecemeal situation.
(Guided by aligns)
Passion everything inside.
Get out of control.
(Out of my control)
Grow.
Balance our loudest hours.
Monuments of our empowered, consequential, proud endowments.
Interlocking endless rows of pheromone-swarmed flowers.
Recompensed with a singular summation.
(Rising vital zones)
Question everything often
and all around.
(Thriving rhizomes)
Glistening lighter, we all arise.
Over, under.
Missing alibis undermined.
Reminding my insights.
Violence is always tomorrow expected but
if all you are is errancy inside
then you won't find another two.

Autopsia
04:19
|
|||
|
Stark, set in stone.
Stay no longer than you're necessary.
Gone, say so long.
Strayed so far from expectations.
Catachretic resurrection.
False awarenesses contested.
Lost, surreal scenes, love arrested.
Eyes unblind.
Inform, incline, insist, align.
Pause, pen resolve.
Pulled asunder and desaturated.
Bask in the sun.
Time is over, say goodbye.
Automatic resummations
Awash, aware, in conversation.
Phosphorescent formulations
I opine.
Stride, stead in form.
Fan the firestorm sheltered inside.
Decline the uniform.
The road is understood alone.
Bare aesthetic recollection.
Sparse semantics interjected.
Advance directives imperfected.
Idle minds.
Reform, refine, reveal, revive.

Entangle

Dispassionate observer
Crashing on the lawn
You've got your warning
You've hit a wall
Set out alone
Catch it one the one
You've got to want it
Did you give it all?
Decide the obvious
Passive, are we on the other?
Full-fledged
Forward
Faster
Instant every time, I
Full-bore
Flower
Incense every night
Affectionate unnerver
Fasten on the awns
Get up and over
Could you evolve
Against an ostinato?
Spastic, asinine,
And sinusoidal
We're spinning off
Foot us a better year
Fantastic, I decline a battered
Bulwark
Borders
Outsides
Exodus denied.
High towers
Barbed wires
Only accidents survive.
Edify erudite enamors.
Self-define to
Undermine those synthesized
Powers, assumed to anesthetize.
Intentional inverter
Cast upon the rocks
You best absorb it
This interval
Is all but orbital
Fast against the odds
And often open
Continual
Incline the audible
Bask in sunshine
Fall for autumn
Orbit
Outward
Far sides
Essences entwine
I flow warm
Oceans
Incidence divine
Isn't it sublime?

Trigger
05:29
|
|||
|
Embattled inside.
We live through hollow eyes that
Accept an awful lot of lying.
We reconcile by hiding away.
It's live a virus. We have to face it.
You can't deny it. We must erase it.
It stands inside until it devastates us.
And you invite it right through the door.
Trigger: when I say "fracture"
You take back your mind,
Expand the horizon.
Sever your rusted ties.
You have been mechanized.
It's time you recognize.
Expect the lie.
Retain the self inside.
Circumscribe, derive, and
Settle your unfit finds.
You exact align.
It;s time take back your life.
Incentives devised.
We follow furtive desires
That require an awful lot of compromise.
Losing control, it's sliding away day by day.
Let them divide us and we are wasted.
Lest that define us, we should embrace and
Then sacrifice the binds we are place in.
We can divine right back to the source.
Time flies faster the older we get
Because we often experience
Less of the presents which, casual, aweigh
While we idle in our graves.
Highlights and fashions
Beguile away our passions.
We cradle, commissioned
To fail our own succeeds.
We sail our own sad seas.
We create our own delusions.
We create our own reality.

Light Tracer
06:24
|
|||
|
A stunning sight dissolves my aligns.
A pair of eyes project an aside.
A pure elation singing
songs I find
In solid silence. Saturated skies.
A fall of ice impacting, ignites.
A variation seeding
Soft sighs.
What a beautiful ride.
Chasing after horizons.
Rolling out with the tides.
Insects, on the wing, rising an fly!
What a beautiful night.
Dreaming starry surprises.
Staring into the sky.
All the minuscule light-tracers flash behind my eyelids.
Essence ignited.
Presence in infrared.
Intentions undivided.
Pleasures unrestricted.
Measures unlimited.
Blind all we know.
Where to go when the eyes are closed.
We combine in the ebb and flow.
Cased in time when the amber folds.
What a beautiful life.
Holding on to a riser.
We're no longer in line.
Withstand all through the mire and we fight!
All incentives demised.
We can offer a ride for
Those emphatic admirers
Pressing on through the nightmares we pass off as inviting.
Message requited.
Reference recidivist.
Attentions, we resubmit.
A sonic spire, a scepter enshrined.
A sudden strike sets it alight.
A coronation, stinging.
Stark nights.
A softer stride, tessellated eyes.
A pure insight, incessant, obliged.
The veneration of a star shine.
What a beautiful life.
Blowing over The Island.
Glistening on with the tides.
Cresting on a wave, rising, then dive!
All the gifts have arrived.
Flowing over my eyelids.
Kissing under the night.
All the minuscule light-tracers flash behind
And all outside of me dies.
Reaching over horizons.
Open out of a bind.
Pass it on again, rising and fly!
All the beautiful lives
Resting now for arrival.
Tucked away from the night.
If they'd only incite you to fall as far as I did.

Euphoria Realized
04:18
|
|||
|
A vast and empty ocean
Austere and stunning.
Impassable, enduring in
Sheer astonishment.
Placid, ancient forests
Secure and storied.
Fascination swoons
Bathed in hues of scarlet.
A mountain streams
Supporting a newborn watershed.
Sprouts commit and root
Mycorrhizal holds.
Flash floods, fireworks.
Clouds explode in airy silence.
Essence, bear me out and,
Fast, formalize what you are.
Mass migrations move to a
Tune of stormy skies.
Awash in a haze of brilliance,
Sincere and honest.
Plants release a plume of
Perfumed indulgence.
Aspiration blooms in renewed
Euphoria realized.
Astral ways revealed in
A stone encirclement.
Passion reigns, a fury,
Subsumed in fire.

One Double Three
04:50
|
|||
|
Estival scene, a semblance of wilderness.
Invested fully in vicious endearments.
Festival, paint a silver bewiderment.
Far past the pall of initial appearances.
Fanciful, you do it all.
It sets the bar past way beyond.
Sensual, sing to me always.
Best of all, you still resolve.
Saturday, set it off.
Sincerity, say it often.
Serenade, sing it softly.
Sent away, shut it out.
Sunny days, I'm better off.
Incinerate the ones I've lost.
Proximity, I'm nearly on the
Center lane, speeding out.
Reverence stalled, force an empty resemblance.
Unnecessary, conventional adherence.
Our system's soul feigned in sickening ambivalence.
Resist the pull that rescinds our independence.
When it calls
You come on in sevens,
Going on forever.
Insanity, center row.
Serenity, I barely know why I've
Spun away a little often.
Assumed to be serial.
Centering, the sun arose.
We celebrate when speaking out.
A grand array, spread abroad.
Rush in to me, send me home.
Farewell the world
Every so often.
Cherish the ones
That you fall back on.
Bare me some more.
All that you ask for.
Surface for once.
Status, so long!

Incendiary Progress
05:07
|
|||
|
Expansive lives.
Benchmarks contrived.
A sense of sums benign.
Sandstones ours to own.
Therein lies infatuated minds.
Bound to others, beg for what you've got.
Paths of muddied waters.
Interfere, catch flak.
Indecisive alarm
Situating the same.
Asylum lost in a lie.
Disappointment,
Baring your soul
To anyone at all.
Bare me, gone.
Essence dissolved.
Head strong, all-in-all.
Dreadful, unresolved.
Each heart-fought insurgent.
Patch you up and send you out.
Insist new-born in service.
Stretch you wide and set you out of focus.
They'll spin you out of orbit.
(Rectify, defer involvement.
Bend toward a spent
Set, insolvent.
Dead in the water)
Buried blind. Abandoned outside.
Bred for butter. A fence for what you hide.
Baths of bloody water.
Misdirection, flash.
Going once, stand aside,
Run away, gone insane.
Inside I've fashioned a wall.
Disillusion
Bare, it is sold
To anyone at all.
Bet you won't disservice.
Bite you off and spit you out.
It hits you rather sobered.
They bought you off, incendiary progress.
Instead you ought to surface.
It's been too long to send you out.
Instead you sound, instantiated.
Fresh, you are a sanctuary.
Set to rise, insinuating solstice.
Sweat soaked palms.
Flash floods embalm.
Transform, call to arms.
Essential, soldier on.

Nothingness
07:21
|

|
"This is it, Nothingness.
You're nothing, you're no one,
and there's nothing you can do to stop it now."
"But, I want out."
"Step inside. Let me throw you a line,
or teach you a thing or two.
Whichever one suits you.
Don't fear the coming days.
I'm here to chase all your worries away,
Keep all your sorrows at bay.
I can see that you're desperately in need of a friend
Who can lend you some perspective,
Peace of mind.
You're hopelessly running out of time.
Find an ounce of might
Empower in isolation.
Find an ounce of value.
Aid empowerment in oscillation."
Fascinating lines thrust upon this Island.
Evaluate the sum of fast-evading lives.
Balance divine.
Fundamental designs.
Balance divine.
Systematic inclines.
Lost, and it's no wonder.
Love, eternal love.
"Life's fucked up sometimes.
Get on with it.
It'll happen again and decidedly something unwinds.
Take some time, recognize, and
Let me offer some solid advice:
Until you force your will
You'll never crack Perception's veil
and look upon the face of life.
Alive, alight, resplendent with delights
That you'll never know until it's time to leave it all behind.
Then you'll abide."
