Eagle Iris 04:08
in the space between your old memories and all the things that you've been keeping from me i guess iam an eagles iris within an old man's eyes it's a clever run around but know i'll catch him in time oh you'll catch him in time but is he really in time? when he's whispering to the wilds of his querrying mind and the fear it doesn't end until the years within him side with the answer to a question that has him foldin in five as the mold breaks the skin well the cold it can't recite the words it used to use when it was warming up ice and wars that used to soothe they are read and taken twice like the ways we used to move when we were young and hypnotized we were young and hypnotized to stay inside the lines but that is not nor what we thought could ever be defined and while we're on it let's get off before we lose what we could find but if you feel it that's the top and that's the realest kind of shine when the ink starts to blot and flow begins to fine that means the needle needs to drop for the peaking of pines where the echoes can just stop and the space can render time from a place that isn't caught half reflecting off mine And the wait can't escape on the edges of it's ride cuz it bathes in the blaze of it's own suicide and the pages never fade as the ageless coincide in their endless encounters encrypt co and sign here for lease you will hold this in time for 83 years then it's tatters to the brine so if you scatter to the wind know your whims are that of mine and the ways we use to win are woven throughout this rhyme

Ultraviolet 05:07
Flood the violet I’m reaching through you Been good to know you I flew in from a throne I am that stone bird Etched on shoulders of ancient earth’s Sacred deities that bled to pay the toll The ways resolve in rays relay and roam

Pachamama could ya Patch my wounds I’ve been a Fool to hold these faults for fortune blacks as Crows All my reasons swept up Underneath them as All the feelings Of an orbit left alone The fourfold path you’ll walk is of your own I know living ain’t free But freedom is living
so if there’s suffering 
may it churn me into ribbons
with old regards 
from Balthazar
A verse to soothe the ridges
I’ve traveled far, so very far
to preserve a solvent visage
 
Forms platonic
trace all thats sonic
just as vision paints
a portrait bathed in code
it’s over even
often just leans in
makes the dream hinge
off its axis as it glows
and fall away like petals on a rose

The mystique abstract
I bridge these worlds that
sift into mine from Music that elopes With wheels of color, fragrances thunder As shapes and numbers float to dictate how we grow The sort of thing that makes you wanna know Turn another cheek you’ll see That seeking is giving Away the gift of being here In your silver prism We’ve come so far so very far To leap before the finish So reach the bar from where you are And meet a flower vintage It is what it is And it ain’t what it ain’t Untying these knots will take a whole lotta paint These electric paths will be cleared from the faint Recollective residue lining the limbs of the lane Ultraviolet Vines seepin through you It’s been good to show you I blew in as a node with A holographic tonal back track holdin My wooden backpack high enough to hear the notes And snag a couple lines for the road

My skin is silk thick But so are my renditions They’re woven self prescriptions Carmelized By a ball, a masquerade Behind the walls that I create As they fall I scrawl my name Into a chime To ring without a whine or weary eye That dropped a tear to open eyes And far the year will stretch my life To touch the edges of the sky The wheel divides the seal we write with olden rites The feel we fight is one we need to be alive My whim is caressed by contraceptive apparitions Whisperin tantric contemplative pirouettes Tie dyed trepidations Appear ripe in contemplation Correlations raise the rate of what you get To sing inside a hazy rise the farthest I could see my lazy eye’s A hawk with wings clipped by the falsified features I’ve revived a hero’s reason for the wreath of songs he’s singing He holds the harrowed but hell I’ve seen it save a life F, Em, C Hold all my problems with grip strength that’s lost F, G, C From holdin on too long to poisoning my mode of thought- While sedentary reliquaries Revel the sod And forever round an edge that never had a plane to plot- So if all we are are savory dots Mannequins imbued with life to re-engage a thought- Explained in every way it still contains the Ka Accolades the action tamed from Shambala- To rest beside a crest recite the 
words that happened next- Regard the currency enduring 
 stir the spin That peels the curtain -
 on the far side of the fourth wall 
forces pray to save us all-
 When ya play in four directions
 you’ll never say I didn’t mentioned- 
their words they cast reflections 
that will lead us to perfection- 
to illume, nay to lessen 
all the waves of apprehension-
 that place a veil over our nature 
 solar shine forgotten wavelengths-
 now regain the same you made from gnostic heights

Headdress 04:31
a pin drops and my marbles fall They orbits through the parking lot in his Siamese suit Stood ambiance His pinstriped blues Swore this old mirage wore Recollective Camouflage From an old Catalogue To keep its crosshairs on my Rawhide Ragnarok My runes may have made it hard to talk but now I can really sing A halo, cracked the catacombs From crystalline to bone I walk a battered blooming road The same goes, set before the gnosis Where wisdom works its’ show A trick so fast it happens slow An old life gets swept away adorned in thyme and rosemary Lay, I lay upon a lake, its misty shroud hid the willow’s waist Limbs they reach leaves they call embracing ease bequeathed by samsara’s wreath these paisley sparks that leak the inner sea of Ra So Tie them daises the nexus did its best to bless right where your breadcrumbs fall A halo, cracked the catacombs Obsidian to chrome Wave the wars and roll the bones The same goes, quick before they notice Where all is as how it knows Attune attain a treasure trove Gems of jade and jasper Derail all thoughts of after See we’re making up our matter From everything that matters The pace that placed the gander While I gamble with this banter Will take my words and answer With the thrill of all enchanting Memoirs of blessed Union, this fruit is so sweet to think, it’s been here all along A rainbow, passes as your own Was it all centrifugal? Heed the creed of silk signals This plane rose, As patient as the crows omen Destiny betrothed, a headdress ceremonial

A four eyed three sided demon At the edge of 5th and Maine Hung his head and held on tight, while a strange device Stalled a locomotive gone to hell in Chardonnay If anybody owes him he’ll flash a grin and then he’ll say Hell I’ll wave the price I’ve soaked my soul in poison for to claim the crumbs of Christ that silent chime I haven’t heard in years distills the mind Singing “I just gotta let my soul shine” The miracle of mirabai marinates a marble skyline Flying machines, no-time machines is what I catalyze They peer and sear my aching mind They free my limbs and neck arise as tidal troves of bridal groves increases cross my eyes Now Hell, couldnt name it’s price I’ve been that boy in corduroy when the voices stirred my fright Now I dance the trance And bathe in pools that grant the emerald light And by gum my god I’ll let my Soul shine I’ve paid those dues in a daze Shine shoes, tried two in the maze I knew it was time to escape Melancholy sondering I hear invisible things Concave ripe ripples of rings Palms raised I triple and tame My own Menagerie You can tell em my name is Thy Blooming Eternal Spinning Truth that hangs on high Chandeliers that casts a clear Cathedral framed just right My Lord My Love I’ll let my Soul shine

Stardumb 06:15
Sitting at the wonder wheel Wondering where I’m gonna go next lets blow this here popsicle stand- Staring stardumb dealing feelings at the solar seal A semisolid reel, runs back- triangular spirals ride the flames in peacock pyres enrapturing- Vials of All leading me where I should’ve been goin this whole damn time- Where I always am Where I’ve always been Now I never leave- But I better breathe Fluid pours out the fortis folds in the full of the mouth of me- Taller than the sacred air inside as my surroundings- Are made as the maestro plays a prayer for the fallen fair regime- Green it splitsheens blue Laser stream flew, well I’d rather eat- In this echo chamber, where dingos raise their teeth to feed- This Known unknown gnosis knows and molds my nodes like me Glory be- The beholder The seen sun whistles a woven mystery- Wishes of a holy key, beyond this surface I do speak Assuring serpents this service is stirrin a surging memory Forever forged in the forsworn face as heights race to eternity The “others” slide phase sideways, their psyches sigh and merge with thee A cyan scythe does swipe the silence of our harmony Assigned to sign the roadside mine that blew my mind in three Not much left to do but lead the bayou blind to see

Sitting at the wonder wheel Wonder where I’m gonna go next lets blow this here popsicle stand-

Fuselage 04:00
Statues emerge I laugh at curses from the curvature the passage of verse Evict a viscous analytic wrath A graphic insert Crayola rappin, color captain Always claspin at spurs Now I’m back on this earth Hues light the fuse in the fuselage Cues pull a truce from the cinderblocks I speak to you and deliver love May glory set your memory ablaze Opportunity for bliss to bless the frequency Appalling placement partially impaled by the energy Apparently a palm can pave the prayers of an enemy The why can’t defy the how of holographic rendering

Hues light the fuse in the fuselage Cues pull a truce from the cinderblocks I speak to you and deliver love May glory set your memory ablaze

Neon Memory 02:59
I am gripped with a neon memory Where I bring flowers to my enemy Precede the feather restin in some revelries Into forever, levels lay eternity The fourfold can’t withhold anything about it Who built the goal, looks like some kind of fountain Cracks with the whip of amazement Now we’re rounding third base Passing up third space Laughing at the worst days Cackling as the first ray Manifests a marble mausoleum in the boundaries Glitching out bounty Royal as they found me Smile lines have sunk into my oscillating soundray Thoughts come and go yet stick together like snow Stitching all experience as the avalanche rolls Nothing’s bizarre is it what we are Nothing’s bizarre when it’s what we are Well I don’t think I really wanna let go blinkin in braids i might a step stool Ring the brigade their might stakes the ramble On a spelling your name from the flame of a candle I’m gripped with a neon memory Where I touch the feet of serenity Beyond the tales of failure staring at me I’ll burn the pages, from ashes, a symphony The sword steels’ cold but my heart feels gold Warm Metamorphose down a rosebud road Crackling creek is on beat to your ear drums roll With zombies packing heat singing that blue eyed soul Them jazzy krabby patties held the healing hope Compassion matched by wisdom patching parallel poles Come back and make a million hearts out of your own Inheritance is the rarest sight to behold I’m gripped with a neon memory Where I ring the bell of periphery A sling of cells propel the wealth whirling A resurrection tells of a fever dream

Guava 03:35
Wall eyed n wavy It’s no problem Granola baby It’s all guava We’re going fast Here in the ever last (oh yeeeaahh) Kumquat feelings of Fresh squeezed prada A sunflower lopped off my jaw For jostling the nebula Not feeling so regular Outside of the guise Of a liquid stranger A gilded mirage Built facades out a paper With walls of glass Palm in stones with foreign grasp Daffodil beam with a vintage nameless Makeshift red and blue room matrix A fragrance drafts, tequila frays on a former mask Papaya perfume And Eucalyptus Pooled round a purple chain Whiles Cactuses cut my throat Catch a tune and just catapult An Android sings with a youthful splendor My Old soul scans my back to render a radiance Dove right ‘neath the filtering The poetic placement of Starspun pockets Behind nine arms interlaced and lost in the way it was To say it gives it space enough Honeycomb halo did hide in danger Been seen making white noise 
stranger than fiction with peppered pulp Drink it down in a single gulp

Jelly Bean 05:37
Well you got me so high High Stumbled onto grace neath a tree In the valley of the way Digitized phrase gonna play When your pupils glaze Like a record skippin leopards livewire lightning on the pace The center unfolds Jelly bean deem spliff the King sol increases Dosed till I’m Jesus All my ghosts they do preach this Seam splitting sequins Chrome coded beatnik Overtone sequence got my Tome on reload when I’m feeling Paranormal Tear in normal Definition meta vision Pairs of portals Cordial coils Kami on my seventh rhythm Fuzzy water drops taste like otter pops Strangely scenic Seen in seconds seeded Dying on the Cross I’m not a human being I’m just being human Fibers in the firmament Genie of Jesus whim When the fire burns It’s hard to get your mind off the singe- I Sought all the rays of holy sovereign Beheld the gates to El Dorado Learned that Fate returns it’s weight in borrowed Gold you’ll give away tomorrow- Save your swan and bathe (babe) your sorrows Made your soul from Major models Strung upside 9 pinwheels that theorize a phrase is space that toggles - stakes to braid the beige in sparkles Lazy hours laced with charcoal Peanut butter pressed against the grain A weathervane that gargles Grace that’s chased with smoke that startles Blade equipped with jade that bottles Stages etchin brainstems thankin god I got to make my goggles Savor Suede-stone laid in marble Greater gravestones speak of marvels Greater than The Mind that conjures reels to learn The Seal of Cardinal Wagerin the offering On plausible protrusions Wavering and wandering Wait again, way off delusions I am no longer keeping I am always off and searching I am no longer reaching I am always feeling certain
