Outside of time
(and the system of order
we inherited)

our souls have blended
(we flow together perfectly)

Ah Rosa,
if only we could all do so
much with our lives

with such elegant gestures of
sweet refusal

I heard you say that
you were just tired that day

Gypsy dreamer came tumblin' into
her sacred circle

(she was too-good-to-be-true beautiful
--better than an angel in a crusader's
vision)

all our answers
belong to the wrong
questions

(easier to be afraid)

love is something we talk about

Who did we come here to be
Why isn't it ever enough
when did we go wrong

(Shoot it till its right
run it over till its gone
make it fast enough to die)

Show me a fire hot enough
to burn for real
these flames don't even touch me

everyone's afraid to really
shine

creeping through cobwebs
(fear of the unnatural)
mystification of the goddess incarnation

Got a gun loaded with dreams
for a mind

Got a soul full a holes for the rain
and the sunshine

Got a motor to ride down the highway
(straight through this hell)

Got a rusty heart full a diamonds
just for you

REMEMBER

How our spirits...

and the taste of our...

and if you let me I will heal you
(bare your wounds to me)
and if you will forgive me my shadows
(flashes of darkness)...


I swear I will take your pain if I can
let my body endure it
(let my heart burst from it)

I have been fragile
I have been broken
(but I never BREAK)

Solid as a perfect train
on rickety tracks


You may wish for me to leave
(but I will not leave you)
Flawed as I am
I am your friend

(perfect as the light is, that I never show)
you know the secret way to my heart
(because you are that way)

And I saw her clothed in moonlight
(fairer than a goddess)
with her avatar sister

Rumi understood
how to disappear into love
(dissolving)

disintegrating and reintegrating
(whatever I've wanted in this
world I've gotten)

You must understand
what it means to desire
so strongly it changes
all things

Since I've let everything go already
(a golden being cut through the doggleganger
of myself somewhere in a strange Asian
dystopia, with a sword brighter than the sun)

Since all that is gone
(and there is nothing left to fear)
I can hold onto you if I want to

(let your soul slide next to mine)
I will be your home

Listen to the hobo-shaman
he knows about love
knows about rain

(knows about the road and
loneliness)

Been all kinda places
over stars and oceans

the ragged and the torn
the diamonds and the gold
put the shine right into ya
knock the fool right outta ya

Anyone could follow him (but
no one will)

The wild times
(destined to survive
past alive and so high
we didn't know how to die)

I lift my mug to every smash and blow
to the wrecks and blood and oil

(we burned it all)
the smoke and fire
(starin' down the devil)

I musta been a good dancer
to dodge all them bullets

don't believe in cash don't
believe in death don't believe
in government don't believe
in contracts don't
believe in bombs
don't believe in progress
don't believe in
insurance, don't believe in
security
don't believe in Liberals



(sometimes I like country music)
I like drinkin too much caffiene
I like rock n roll on the radio
and an engines roar between my legs
and I like my aloneness with my gods
and I could let go of everything in this world
I could let go of my life and my mind and my ego
and a comet could come and blow this whole thing away
(and for me that would be okay)

but I'll never let go of you

Am I a good enough author
to write you into my life
(or am i trying vainly to write you out of
a script that was always yours)

(the sub-continent years are a sub-textual, semi conscious
layer of me now...
projections and mirror images
collapse back into themselves
wrought with simulacra
we ravage whatever point of contact
dies between us)

Remember the shotgun weddings and
happy endings?
The gilded gloss
The spines rot out of classics somewhere in the
haunted library
of my empty ancestors

(sell the silver
sell the gold
Empty the
Tome)

Not sure what I've become
(was this the intention of my cave-ancestors)
To rise up into a techno simulation of a
simulation

Life shoots through me
(x-rays blow our bones away)
solar winds erode us into atoms

(and our sweetness blends)
here, beyond the end, together
easy to love so perfectly

(heavenly form of angelic
vibrancy
carresing earth so
lighly)

I'm not sure why god
made something better than all
poems

More delicious than all cake
(hotter than any hot rod)
more motorcycle than
all motorcycles

something that shines above all else in my life
better than rain
brighter than sunshine

She wants to know why we are outlaws
(ain't everything under the sun free & on its
own)
and their ain't no law
or bible
or church
or gun
that can pin my soul down

(and I'm wild like an animal and I ain't
never listened to no one)

(but I am gentle with her and
she can tell me things and I listen)

Cause it don't make me not free to
stay with this angel

(sorta makes me fly and gain the power of
all things)

All my friends shine like the sun

(and they sound like records from the 70’s)

And they ride like outlaws

(and they sing like angels)

And they love like pagans

(and they pray like rockstars)

And they fly like eagles

And they punch like sailors

(and they rob like jesse james)

And they give everything away

And they smile like cathedrals

And they burn all their books

And they fall down like poems

And they rise up like spring-time

I wish you knew about
(the magic that I know)

It's not because she is beautiful
(and she is more beautiful than summer)

Or that her mind is a river of wishes come true
(because she sparkles like stars reflected in night water)

She could tell you about how her soul sings up into
the spheres
(but you wouldn't be able to listen)

And how her wings spread just like an angels
(but you wouldn't be able to see them)

And every word that comes out of her mouth caresses
my soul like honey
(but you wouldn't be able to feel them)

No one notices the gods anymore

Time has converged on the
moment of our togetherness

(Existence cannot stop us)
We were created to
unite within the magic of
our infinite love

unlocking all the old places
that rusted my heart closed
empty rooms nailed shut
(good friends that died
& took a piece of me with them)

Pain turned to stone
(you are melting me into water my love
oiling the rust on the chains that bind
my warmth)

Healing the broken
spaces

I found out how
to enter the nothingness
alone in the mountains
(lost in Asia)

Now,
when I turn inside
I find you there
(my love)

& what about this paradise we
create every time we touch
every time we breath in the fragrance of
each others souls

(and I was communicating with you in
spirit all summer long...
and I rode with you and I slept with you
in my dreams...)

and I spoke with my totem animals
for you
(and she came...that fierce proud creature
gently crossed my path (to let us know)
before retreating back into her
magic solitude)

and everything is magic about you my
love
every glance
every breath
every heartbeat

I want your heart to beat with mine

Thank you...
My Divine Love
For stepping inside
the cirlcle
that seperates us
