Heat of Illusion

I feel the heat of illusion
Working it’s way through my mind
And I put it here just to see if I could get by
I’m filled up with daring
With the bright comets racing
Did you see what it is that I might have to say?
I talk like knowing is harder
Than seeing it happen first hand
What sake is the sake that I search for I do not know
I’m filled up with daring
With the bright comets racing
Did you see what it is that I might have to say?

And though it stalls a certain way
I learnt yesterday that you'd be ok
It falls on my idle head
That I could see
The path right to you
Reared my heart on your land
These awful things just passing through
Slept in blonde fields now wrapped around you
They etched a ward in bulbs buried
In pastures
I thought not to bloom
Oh well, you grazed the mind of a lonely man
Grazed the mind of a lonely man

Southern Balsam Firs

Underneath the porch
Stepping stones, wide awake
I recognised your fingertips
Adorned in moons
I heard threads of silk
Tease these shores in handsome waves
When my boat tugs at pine
It'll collapse someday

Or For Me Or Us?

Your news is lazy though I faltered
Every line caused cheeks to wince
My back lent on painted stars
Rusted hair curls in this softest rain
It's your green tunic, dipped in rare bouquet
That let me be
Fed from a plate on the floor
To make me full and clearer
There's beauty in this still, maybe we'll be blessed
With love in spring, and I'd trick these tin feet
To feed again from a plate on the floor
To make me full and clearer

Pleasure in the Past

You ought to dress for Sunday
Quite urgently
Cause everything you’ve ever desired
Is about to fall into your lap
Yes I swear
I’m gonna make it happen once again
You are the steering tide
As I’m tied down to the bow
All the ways you made me shine
Are coming back again
Yes I swear
I’m gonna make it happen once again
As our bodies age
And our functions falter
All the memories will be denied
Won’t bring us joy again
Yes I know
There’s no pleasure in the past
Don't I know
That its coming fast
Yes I know
That I can’t cure the ails
That ail you so

Alive in the Brush

Black skeleton hung round your nose
It's funny, our stubborn ways
Leak through pouring sheets
So blessed to be wrung by them
Time steps a little on our sand
Peached by kind velour
That breathes on and around
Alive in the brush; in it we lay

Like Only A Lover Could

She says “Man its complex
And There is no reason
To what I am feeling
And like a feeling I’m floating around”
She says “Have I spoken untrue
Turned you against you
If only you’d listened
Well you could’ve kept something of mine
A box full of music
Or the lace of my boot
Like only a lover ever really could”

Beyond All My Affection

Would you paint me like a nature still
Where beauty spans from ditch to hill
I can’t believe a single thing you’ve ever seen
I’ve been looking for that part of you
That found a way to love me once before
Roaming in a garden flooded down with dew
All I ever do is think it strange
That I won’t think about you anymore
That I have ever spoiled our memory
I’ve been looking for that part of you
That found a way to love me once before
Roaming in a garden flooded down with dew
And when I search through heaven's maze
I’ll be upright in my tomb
Knowing you are out there grieving me
I’ve been looking for that part of you
That found a way to love me once before
Roaming in a garden flooded down with dew
