THE MARCHING BAND CAME OUT TO PLAY FOR US

Will you kiss these lips today?
Will you kiss these lips tomorrow?
They’re pruned and wanting
Yearning for you’re love and panting

Movement in the barley
A strange current runs through my body
A strange current runs through in my brain
Will you shy away?
Or refrain?

Embark on a journey
Side by side
We’re linked
We travel simultaneously
We’re synched

SIMPLY LIVING IS A LOT OF WORK

You’re seeing my devotion
You know about my intense devotion
You see it in the corner of my eyes
This is more than a simple tear I shed
This is more than a simple tear I cry

You see,
I’ve been here before
You now I’ve been here before
I’ll remember it for evermore

You’ve peeled off my intense devotion
You looked me right in the eyes
It sent me up the slippery slope
Got caught up in a downward slide

You see,
we’ve been here before
We know we’ve been here before
I’ve remembered it for evermore

It’s awkward and it’s painful
It grabs you right by the throat
You’re staring straight into my soul
With dilated eyes as black as a crow

You’ve gone down this road before
You know you’ve gone down this road before
I’ve remembered it for evermore

AURORA SWITCHED COLOURS

Colours
Bright colours
Real colours
Soft colours
Unexpected movements
Unexpected changes
A palette of lucid dreams

Want to grab it
Grasp it
Hold it
Harness its powers
Let it run free in my hopes and dreams
Sow the torn seam

Colours
Bright colours
Real colours
Soft colours
Unexpected movements
Unexpected changes
A palette of lucid dreams

AN ARMADA OF YOU

A diner
staring at tables
Faces indifferent
In a moment all freeze
to remain the same
Pay up
Lose the change
Shoulders shrugged
You’re out of place again
The city changed
Damaged
You’re down and out
A beating heart can only scream so loud

Dead and cold
Looking for reason between the crack of the tiles
For just a second she brushes against me
She’s reflected in a window oh so vile
Should I ask the clover?
If I’ll ever know her?

The sky changes
I linger on
In rapture and blue
Tomorrow at early light
and honeydew

A SILENT REVELATION

The moonlight betrayed your coming
Silent wings, wild eyes and fireflies everywhere
From behind a shadow makes its mark on the ground
It’s you in full ornate
Milk white skin
Untainted by sin
The moonlight and grace melting into one
And so it begins

Hit a high note in the pleasure centre
A silent revelation enters
The leaves blowing in the wind showing me simplicity of beauty
Love resides in love’s pruned lips when it does its duty
Truth unblemished
All the fury tamed

Unattainable unrequited love and experience of hopelessly falling
Desires put to rest and listen to the siren’s true calling
Staring too long into the light could render one blind
If the fire burns too long
It’ll linger on and on in one’s mind

A QUARTER PAST OBLIVION

You don’t know how it feels to be tumbling down
don’t you?
You don’t know which way it unfolds
don’t you now?
Too many linearity’s in this room
The Universe expands both ways
There’s no lack of eternity
No lack of time
nor the grandeur of pure existence
Solar storms amplify in magnitude
Eons captured in a tiny flux
If the stars are a light in the sky
Why can’t they burn in us?

DOUBT IS WAITING JUST AROUND THE CORNER

Can’t cut it loose
It’s always here with me
Always feeling marginal
Can’t abounded it in the deep forest
It always follows me back home
Can’t trap it inside a cage
It always jumps into me when I’m alone
I fought it till my fists bled
My pores poured red
Anguished
Tormented
Desolate and alone
It always follows me back home

JONESY WAS A CAT WHO WORE STRANGE COLOURS

I see how you pose in slow motion
A click
A flicker
I’ve trapped you poise in a moment of time
You won’t get withered over the passing of time
You won’t grow weak and old
As time unfolds

You move as sturdy as sturdy can be
You lift your top up gently
I can see far into your eyes
Deep trenched, blue
a dash of blight

Beau van Erven Dorens's "PIJN"

I found out something very weird today. Beau van Erven Dorens wrote me as a fictional character in his novel "PIJN" Believe me, reading about a fictional character with the same name as you is one hell of a weird experience.
