Silver Scars

Mele writes words like chem trails
All seem to stay
Like damage done by winds strong gales

This summer and its storms
Drag deep into me
I want to give you some insight
And be yours tonight

And into the uncertain
We hide
To all our fears
We cast aside

Wooded depths and secret stars
Suns cruel torch
And the moons silver scars
All given us
Given our time
To fall in love
To share in rhyme

I sing silent poetry
A form or soverin intimacy
And you take for yours
All I give... willingly

Vulture

Ripples beat the shore of the river he loves
As he waits for instructions from above
So cold is this summer night
Filled with doubt and delight

These forests hold no sanctity
And deeply he holds this reverence for thee
Held under some spell
Is it spirit, vapor... He cannot tell

Confessing all the secret things to fire and rocks
He begins to damn time, to damn thoughts
Of dream and sleep
Like a thief, its you he seeks

Time is a game
Time is a myth
Space is irrevelent
Longing for darkness to quit

Like soil to rivers he's quick
Words from others are venom spit
Because deeply he needs
An Arizona sunrise he pleads

For now Idaho is all he knows
For him Idaho is all that flows
Through vines mixed in culture
But circling like a vulture
He ponders anything, to him, that draws him closer

Who Are We, Who We Are MT

Creativity flows from within me
Underscored by pure sincerity
And somehow I feel I fail in connectivity
To all that surrounds me

I've used hammers made out of wood
I have played games with pieces and rules
I've deciphered tricks of the mind
But now you're gone
I haven't figured out why

I've come up with riddles
And jokes about war
I've figured out numbers and what they're for
I have understood feelings
And I've understood words
But how could you be taken away

And wherever you are
And wherever we might go
It don't seem fair
Today just disappeared

Together like we were never apart
Every inch between seems light-years now
Oh we must save up every line
Damn, they are all gone now

And wherever you are
And wherever we might go
It don't seem fair
Today just disappeared

Distance

If beauty sits the child's kiss
Of laughter I amend
Can you catch her if she runs?
With this I would share with you
All of this count to no end

Behind your sealed eyes you miss
All that I've done for you
Will you catch me when I run?
If timing play evident
What will you say when you're late?

Stay with me and fall asleep
Pray to God for no bad dreams
Stay with me and fall asleep
Pray to God for no bad dreams

Here... I'm still waiting here, my dear
For one kiss from you
So here... I'm still waiting here, my dear
For one kiss from you

Moonlight

Can you not feel it
This rhythm, this movement
I can, while dancing under the moonlight

Oh its three o'clock in the morning
And I am on the streets again
And somehow I couldn't care less
So damn this seamless shame

The trees all smile
The moons a mess
Its tears fall in fear of not being mortal
We are mortals most of all

Get involved
Show a smile to shame the ages
Be mine tonight
Oh dance with me in the moonlight

I want to believe in you dear

Close your eyes until the sunlight dies
In your head a thousand stars
Through the darkness, you can see the light
And if they steal your life, your heart is still in mine

I want to believe in you and I heard you
Your song you sing, the truth, there's no other
I want to believe in you dear

There's a life I hide, well I tried to disguise
And I could take you a million miles away

I want to believe in you and I heard you
Your song you sing
A truth, there's no other
I want to believe in you dear

On Sunday I made a mess
All my mistakes
My God's speed be with you

I want to believe in you and I heard you
Your song, you sing
A truth, a lover

I want to believe in you
May God's speed be with you
