The appeal of 12:38

My brain and I are dismantled,

I choose not where it wants to go.

It makes a home and nestles in

far from where I've ever been.

So when the sun sets from the meadow

and the distant cars pass by.

I'll confront my problems,

the swaying grass my lullaby.

Gypsy cotton and turned tables,

sweeter then those distant fables

that I dreamt of when I grew.

Join me now or leave forever

because I can't do it anymore.

 

Diamonds, gold, Saturn and Stonehenge,

you're as distant as them all.

don't let my smile convince you 

 you've already taken that fall.

And as I scratch this in some scrap paper,

know that I'm doing you a favour

I'm not telling the subtle truth.

Walking with a ghost

Tear my heart out one more time,

I dare you.

is it in you?

just once more, I beg you please

father time, cannot undo the deeds

left the flowers, picked all the weeds

because we both know this man of honor

is not in your suit.

You're the black knight

so spit your venom, and get out of my sight.

Across the Universe

The lovers are losing,

it's all that we see

the rush of the firecrackers,

following the sun down the narrow street.

daylight is waiting

the stillness is fading

the moment of time

when you're lost and you're blind

the moments of music lost in the air.

I'm breathing but it's shallow

I'm here but I'm hollow

I jump and I swallow

off the dock and under the silent sea

for that moment it could only be

the best description I have 

of being free.

daylight is waiting.
