To live and to breathe
that's life you see
for young flowers who boast away
on a chill October wednesday.

To laugh and behold
as our fathers were told
for lonely ones creeping
into the unknown.

To sigh and to die
like yours and mine
for people less speaking
to those on the side.

To always remember
but never to know
the darkest of secrets
that constitute a confusing soul

Bring me round' again
and load up the dock with all our canoes

so new to me
as I am to you

fill my eyes with starry skies
on a moonlight ride
at midnight.

From 2008 :

Sunday sets sail and we say, "away we go"

Stay far from the faces that break us
pounded by the fear of our days.

We lay sleeping in the stars and glance from afar
not knowing what's coming up behind us 

or running through the corners on some cracks
that don't have any meaning anymore.


The sad ones, the bad ones, the ones you call ill

steal and kill for their next meal to feel
,
but feelings for them are scattered,
bashed and tamed to not be real.

I weep for them.

I do pity the sorrow that is on my shoulder as I type.

Right now I could be elsewhere.

My shoulders would lift this heavy weight
and no longer will I see or hear the words spoken from a lonesome man
that I long for in the wee hours of the morning,
of the night,
and even in my dreams he lays-


but Sunday sets sail and we stay far away

The past encloses behind you
as the present unfolds in itself.
Neither can be tamed nor forgotten
thought of too long or too little.
We can only breach out toward our tomorrows
and sigh with the sea.
In all our endeavors there's many a reason
to explain the unexplainable doubts in our head
but all in all, according to the moon
(who tells only tales of solemn truth) :
there's no stopping nor transmuting
nor amending (too)
this thing called life
that which runs farther
yonder,
perpetually wiser
than you could ever dream
or do

On the ride back home
I pushed open to the sky
the memories I kept
of you and I

They floated away motionlessly
they floated all
d
o
w
n
stream
as I waved goodbye
it was a miraculous thing.
