sing sweetly, scorpion soul

Folder: 
hourglasses sigh

your voice rises and swells and then breaks like waves

not the constance of tides but the surprise of tsunami

washing us all in destruction and redemption

 

your guitar lilts and cries little whimpers

with astonishing, intoxicating beauty

emanating a brightness and saturating sadness.

 

piano to keyboard to piano

instrument of intuition and experimentation

carrying messages from the past and future.

 

and then you play random objects

relentlessly pursue sound

playing hot tea at a mexican restaurant.

 

when you let your dreams write lyrics they mystify and haunt.

writing awake, your words speak universal truths of heart and soul.

and sometimes you vex me with deadly moonlight, inspired by immortals.

 

i could fill novels with you alone, but then you love me.

you relentlessly improve my life in spite of all my destruction.

and in the early morning i swear i see the ocean in your blue grey eyes.
