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

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

Tie Dyed Trepidation
03:34
|
|||
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

Cryogenic Cola
04:42
|

Caribou Kumbaya alteration
Peekaboo iota what I’m chasing
Cryogenic cola for my cravings
liquify my motor, stallin, savin
xanadu got my fangs out faded
like i’m nanosaur 2
panoramic wings, jetpack in a mellow mood
doom well i compute jello swallow fellow follow far a feathered fated route
relish relics raking revenue
taking simple path to make a map of all the mirrors mute
they can only speak if the reason struck a vein of truth
avail a veil impalin layers lookin back at you
sonic static
silver sliver lullaby
wraps the butterfly’s fabric
in through a thousand lives
then feasts on the famine of a freak out or reap the roar of rye
the perceived is relieved from the frequent theme of stone and sky
whatcha ask of me?
i found a satelite sittin in my saddle b-a-g
battle armor gradient come take a piece
aviary swayze praise the way we call it make belief
Faith shake up the open octave shockin the whole galaxy
Rock em sockem robots on my problems past and presently
Paranoia caught up with the coffin I’ve been wrestling
Barren soil foiled my old plans for plucking petals glee
Now my tome will never bleed
Calm when I’m in it
Psychic Zion palm holo image
Midas tidal gong when I hit
LightNing song to the dimmest of pitches
Naacal thumbprint among the omniscient
Concave long past lungs last limit
Lord laid down all to save what is given
Re-emerging as a memory metaphysic witness
Split my tongue Pixelate
Ways above in escapes
Lay bismuth on my grave
Resurrect the state
Since it’s all up to me
I will bring energy
I am Ra I am we
All LOVE in my being
On the Law, Anubis
Weigh my hearts consciousness
Crack Amuns obelisk
Shift the waters’ wake
When Ptah calls to me
I’ll respond with a key
Riding node holobeams
Willing mastery
Psalm Somatic
Drench the filter with your eyes
Foreign fragment drape the dragon’s scorched spine
From bone to magma frame this strata froze in time
A portion patterned to code in splatters that comb archives
Waltz in a room my own, luminary
Volley voodoo volume knob knows my old moves apparently
But now I’m a new dude
Gnawing on anomaly
Never knew apostrophes,
Wore archetypal prophecies
At last, at last, the outcast outlasts
Out castin spells with Lao Tzu the Dao path
Will dial back I’ll die a dime’s dozen for the timelapse
I play the sea sweetly till my whole spine cracks
Unity is peace of mind ya can’t buy that
U are just a piece of I, and I don’t mind that
This is why I sing my chimes, all to shineback
Parallel rays of light from eye to iris

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
