Hindsight

I want to build a God
The soil needs
a blessing for sowing seeds
I kneel at the alter
Flesh and mind
It’s my only offering
When you walk away from the mirror,
does the reflection leave your mind?
hindsight is a black and white
of a moment in technicolor
shadow of the tree
is shade for me
Face the maw, you can flex your might
but the reed that bends will last all night
swaddle me in light
I need some truth
I’d like to commiserate
But best case
I’m early to being late
those days are still alive
caught inside
a three by five on my bedside
When you walk away from the mirror,
does the reflection leave your mind?
hindsight is a black and white
of a moment in technicolor
shadow of the tree
is shade for me
Face the maw, you can flex your might
but the reed that bends will last all night
swaddle me in light
I need some truth

Imperfect Circle

Cherry Blossoms bloom
Down by the river
We should lay
By the banks all day
Plans that we have made
Drawn into the sand
The current takes them away
Offering a clean slate
Imperfect Circle
Of progression
Heaven cull these wretched wings
Cherish the bite and its sting
Pines in the cemetery
Ravens on October’s morn
Cyclical visionary
Must i die to be reborn
Etched into stone
Statues of a bygone era
Strolling through the darkness
Found solace in the unknown
So I’ll pay my bill
Seize the day
Chasing my own tail
To find some shade
Imperfect Circle
Of progression
Heaven cull these wretched wings
Let the pendulum freely swing

Come Back To You

I love
When you get lost in a book
On a Sunday afternoon
My grandma would have loved you
But time
It doesn’t bend in my hand
So I’ll hold on
As long as I can
Butterflies
Followed me from Grace street
To a lavender room
Where you held me as I cried
All the way
Across an ocean and a sea
To a stone bridge in Venice
I’m down on a knee
Look at our life
It’s more than I deserve
Shimmers in the sun
In the darkness it shines like gold
Dancing by lamp light
Laugh after midnight
If I live 1000 lives
I’ll always comes back to you
Hand in hand
walking home from the cinema
I want to hear your thoughts
on laughter death and love
City lights
Shine across our balcony
While we pass a smoke between
And your eyes locked on me
Sometimes
I reminisce on the days
When smoke would Hang
In my fire escape
Somehow
We escaped unscathed
with a love to carry
Until the end of days

Chain

I’m thankful for my body
Even though it’s bigger than I’d like
Grateful for each breath
Let’s me know I’m alive
Find the joy where I can
Ride my bike when it’s nice outside
Maybe this ain’t the plan
The music’s on I’ll catch the vibe
Chain to hold you back
Chain to gain momentum
Chain us all together
All my good days, I’ll spend ‘em
Fill my lungs in the springtime
As I cruise past the roadsigns
To where the green hills roll and flowers grow
Lay me here when I get old
How does cynicism play?
Skies are already too gray
If I’m cooped up all day
Burn a zig zag in the rain
Chain to hold you back
Chain to gain momentum
Chain us all together
All my good days, I’ll spend ‘em
