sweet treat, baked by the cosmos (12.12.10)

as a birthday gift
i have given myself
a stoned, uninterrupted listen
to Miles Davis' Kind of Blue
while gazing out the window
of a moving train

eclipse (12.9.10)






the night turned to dawn
and the sun was eclipsed at noon
in the shadow i found truth, and knew
the light would shine in my mind soon
the sky revealed a secret
a wind at midnight gently blew
and i spun around, and around, and around
until i found myself with you

like a stone inside my slipper
you're so slippery, make me fall
before i sink into nothing again
can i bring you anything at all
lyrics of love and life
sung over a melody pure and true
it's all i have now, all i have now
and i'm giving it to you

Ooh,
i'm never lying to you

every day's promise is a changing tide
behind my eyes for me to ride
into your mind from mine
and idea shines on from behind words you say
i'm trading places with the wind someday
so i can blow a breeze for you, so baby
open up your heart, whenever you're ready
i am too

Ooh,
I'm never lying to you
