Lyrics-Eyeless In Gaza
<Kodak Ghosts Run Amok>
Kodak Ghosts Run Amok
Eyes blink
store another set of snapshots
Photographic memories
neatly filed
Interlink with another batch of
snapshots
Pleasant portraits stained and defiled
Blink again
movement is captured
Frozen like mute statuettes
superimpose
A half exposure develop darkness
bleak silhouettes
A first impression
subtle distortion
A variation involuntary forming opinion of
subject in question
subconscious action
Kodak ghosts, running amok
going haywire
Invisibility
Conflict, disdain
novel imposition
differing, separate
disquietening inhibition
Your shadow in rejection,
turning about face
speaking volumes in silence
left ravaged,
left chaste...
No Noise
Words are as mirrors showing pure blank space
words are as tears, wet on your face
who were the actors pushed right off the stage?
words can be as barren as this forsaken place
Hurt should be exempt, no harm allowed
but lies weave their paths in and out still somehow...
who were the people craving it all in their hands
fingers outstretched for impossible demands?
Thoughts are so quiet, yet they come so free
Words are the bars and the bolts that lock away the key
which were the poets that opened up for you all to see?
Words are the stranglehold retaining you from me
Others
Where summer was, there we'd walk
then suddenly, in no time at all
A whisper in my ear...what are you saying ?
(Pinch me to see if I've awakened)
Step steadily, slightly subdued...
Hang In the air, 'til I forgot you
Humming to myself, turning things over
Kick reds, golds, in carpets of leaves as I wander
Now back to me from where bitter taste is
Being orderly, filling in spaces
Blot out your image with faces of others
In lieu of you, it seems hard to fathom
Pencil Sketch
Shrill noise sounding outside of windows
grating as thinking is thrown out of hue
to paler straits where eyes so dim glow
only beckoning to what glimmers through
at times smiling you are lit with feeling
stretching hands for a moment
running to whistling lightened of care
scarlet flushed grinning your glow falling
where your sorrow is dimming
Veil Like Calm
Muttered curses
tattered remnants
dark endeavour on obscure pleasure
cold indifference in calm decision
old with derision
the veil of distrust
Dim and distant
dogged persistence
determination
descrimination
approximation
delineation
scrambled contempt
undecipherable blur
Pressing nerve ends
dash of panic
avoid embarrassment
switch to mechanic
old reflexes mask the erratic
biting your tongue
chewing on dismay
Bright Play of Eyes
where is your brightened play of eyes
the fire flashing
the heartening story
of your wistful wide-open light...
now there's a fallen look
cast all round you
you're somehow smaller
as if you were merely
drawing out your life
how on earth
did you come to wander
out from the way you followed
to somewhere that you would never
go to knowingly...
take these words now
use them for you
to follow to draw you back
to your light.
come back
to that calling smile to familiar,
spell out the story of
heartening reassurance
to me once again.
New Risen
your name is rose
a glow fair
endearing
I dream you here
over far
and near
drawing on your quiet warmth...
when I'm haunted
by these sorrows
that scratch and inflame,
when I am this way
your face comes clearer
in my minds eye,
I can almost taste our presence
it seems so real...
I dream you here
when I'm haunted.
No Perfect Stranger
don't say it's sleeping,
that's not what we're thinking
you can't fix down
just what it is this feeling...
in a way
that's typical of you and me
it just looks funny
cause of how we're looking...
pinning you down
to what you've been saying
is only wanting to clear the air...
don't look at me
as if I'm a perfect stranger
well, maybe that's what I've become
that is always a danger...
in hasty words
a lot of hot air's wasted
evaporating
a little bit of you...
don't look so angered
as if you've been framed
I'm only trying to make things come new...
sad is so easy
I never wanted it from you
sounded so easy
I never wanted it from you
in hasty words
a lot of hot air is wasted
evaporating
a little bit of me...
looking so angered
as if I've been framed
just as you're trying
to make things come new...
sounded so easy
I never wanted this for you
Sad is so easy
I never wanted from you
don't say it's sleeping
that's not what we're thinking
you can't fix down
just what it is, this feeling...
in a way
that's typically just you and me;
no perfect strangers
to trying to touch through,
no perfect strangers to wanting
me and you...
no perfect strangers...
Sun Bursts In
Sunbursts in like fingers to your neck
forgiving a clearing space
reaching in away from corners
drawn out to the strength of day
What thirst blinding at your face
gave you this look this bitter taste
always pulling you away?
What thirst blacking out your gaze
gaze you this look this bitter taste
for side steppin'...
Just breathe this whispering yawning
charge of spring, come firing
just sense the stirring air
saying that you are this new morning...
What thirst blacking out your gaze
gaze you this look this bitter taste
for all this fallen sidetrack
Sunbursts in stillness shaters
this day's light on your brow
the sun bursts in night is passing
sun comes bursting in sharp and keen
blazing in sun comes soaring in
shaking you...
Welcome Now
I started out longing, looking in your eyes...
I felt such sadness there, I
felt such surprise...
if you were only smiling with eyes so fair,
taking
this feeling, holding it dear...
And I want you to try it,
I really do
care to stop all your sighing
and welcome you in here
We are this
moment,
so, let the lovely night take you
welcome you where sorry runs
quiet...
Come out from this longing
for glad and searching eyes call
out a welcome now
to raise you so high...
New Love Here
Nearer, growing much stronger
closer, staying far longer
ah, new
love
coming new daily...
new love, here to share
Just to run in the
rain, again and again
come a running new love
Just to run in the rain
again and again
and there is something new born
just to run in the rain
again and again
just to run in the rain again and again
this is
glory
new love
just to run in the rain again and again,
new every
morning
a love...
come running, new love
Back From The Rains
If ever a soft word,
a searching careress
could be healing
I would
give you this...
I would stroke you,
bringing you
into this lost
light,
bringing you
over here;
near
where you shall be warm
in
your dear life,
oh how I want to bring you
back from the
rains
that have fallen...
Your love will lift you up.
If ever
a
calm hand,
a soothe to the brow
could give sweetness
I give you
this
now...
I will tell you
talk to you
quiet and low,
love...
talking so soft
and slow
and soothing
bringing you very
near,
so close,
bringing you
singing flooding
back.
