I'm gonna pour myself a nice hot dream
I'm gonna gulp the whole thing down
I'm gonna let it sate and nourish me
'Til my feet float off the ground.

Awkward conversation on the reality show
Left my imagination with no where to go
The plumbing progress (in the bedroom)
Was interestingly at an end
...

Mr. Sister and Sister Mary Mister
couldn't make up their minds.
So they traveled all the way down
to the pit of downtown,
...

I tried to write a poem one day,
But nothing rhymed.
So I chose to fly away
From space and time.
...

Without you for so long.. My ‘Alice in wonderland’
Missing, wondering, praying..not knowing how it would end.

Then.. it ended! with a beginning! when you called me that ‘wonderland' day
...

I would rather write words that
get it out of me and into you
Than to hide it under cryptic rocks and
Make you go digging through
...

Blood red and true blue, like my memories of you
Haunted heart... instant replays...I loose.
I watch you crushing it over and over
my haunted heart still loving you
...

I have used up all the words
To bare my heart’s desire
Written songs and odes no end.
I have revealed the burning fire.
...

'Get to bed'
His daddy said,
'We’ll talk about it tomorrow'
...

It is..
..so deep
There is no way
to reach it..to even begin
...

stop talking! you're not making sense.
shut up! i can't tell what you're saying!
I can't even read your lips, there's no word that fits..
you sound like a donkey.... stop brayyyying!
...

You ~ You can't see me now.
I'm just a shadow in the faceless crowd.
nothing special to single me out
there's no magic in my voice when I shout
...

RAPTURE
if you have been drawn to our lonely room
by the deafening sound of my silent scream
don't be frightened; it's just that i'm mourning
...

if you have been drawn to our lonely room
by the deafening sound of my silent scream
don't be frightened; it's just that i'm mourning
the death of our last earthly dream
