1. Millenium Moon
Wind, surf, sun, and sea
All melting into the dew
Suspended between you and me
Seconds chip the wall away
Between now and the new century
Clouds, rain, stars, and planets
Hang in the balance
The stillnes echoes our quiet mouths
As we await only Time itself
Millennium Moon
Rising across the water
Selene comes to cast her silent spell
To lay beside us with eyes of silver
She glitters among the stars
Love, hate, passion, desire
All melting into the night
Between arctic ice and desert fire
Tears, laughter, joy, and sorrow
Hang in the balance
As we pass through the barrier
Beyond today and into tomorrow
Selene dances her intimate weave
As she beckons us into eternity
2. Evident Dreams
I was walking,
down the echoing hall
just listening to the sound
...of evidence
I was looking for the light
in the archway there
what does it hide?
I see your eyes
in the brightness, looking down,
with a tear there dripping
It's so cold there...
It's so cold there...
I keep walking,
and you seem to follow
my every step,
not giving me time to rest
Why don't you reach out and touch my mind?
Instead, you just hover near
I see your eyes
in the brightness, looking down,
with a tear there dripping
It's so cold there...
It's so cold there...
Why can't you see my eyes
burning from your glare
in the shadow of evergreens?
The shadows you're searching
are hiding precious mettle,
although you may never
see it's worth.
I see the light
fading from your eyes;
no more tears there dripping
3. Perigree
4. Euphoria
Ocean's salt never ran so sweet
Your soul wails, high-pitched, complete
Seeing reds and blues and greens
On a glowing, silent screen
Euphoria
Moon's tide washes over you
Undulating, change the hue
The center of your universe
Is driving you into reverse
Euphoria
Innocence and consequence
And this one makes you whole
Dancing on the earth you see
The solid spirituality
What makes you happy?
Euphoria
5. Learning Curve
I heard laughter on the phone
Your voice always made me sigh
I saw faces at your window
The bass of your music turned way up to "high"
I walked into your room
Why were so many lights out?
Your friends seemed to rush right by
What did I hear that one shout?
You poured me a drink, gave me a chair
And asked me to sit down
When I asked where everyone was, you said,
"Oh, they'll be around."
But you turned the music low
Pulled me gently to my feet
Said you knew I wanted to dance
I didn't know the dance would be so complete
What were you thinking?
What skewed your mind?
I wanted to be there
You made it a crime
What I thought was my debonair friend
Vanished before my eyes
The gentleman I'd known was gone
A monster beneath the disguise
I can never remember
The night is always blurred
I think what you said was a half glass of wine
Held more than your lying words
Your friends knew it better than I
I was good for a laugh and a stare
Your fun at all my expense
Another fraternity dare
I've envisioned your torture
What I could do to you
You're not even worth plotting a course
In the end, your own soul will tell true
What were you thinking?
What skewed your mind?
I wanted to be there
You made it a crime
6. Alternate Reality
If we were together
In another dimension
Without morality's measure
Or metaphoric contention
Imagine the solace
We could find
No reason to transgress
In body or mind
Just feel what you want to feel
Just need what isn't real
In another time
Maybe we were there
In a pose supine
Tangibly aware
Drinking in the chaos
Of multiplicity
A disappearing kiosk
Of mental ecstasy
And feel what you want to feel
And need what isn't real
I can almost taste it
But cannot touch
Begging to erase it
Never need so much
Is it all a dreaming?
Is it somehow true?
The other side is seeping
Through to you
So feel what you want to feel
So need what isn't real
7. Earth Dreams
8. Electronic Exotic
I am silk,
I am soft,
I am dreams for you
I am warm,
I am real,
I am what you feel when you're alone
Plug in,
turn on,
lay back
Velvet interlacing
Transmit
Recieve
Dedicate
Don't make it quick
Electronic exotic
I am wind,
I am rain,
I am cloud in your eyes
I am cold,
I am dark,
I am discoveries yet to behold
Log in,
power on,
play back
Velvet interfacing
Transmit
Receive
Replicate
No magic trick
Electronic exotic
Everything I saw
Every thing I touched
Electrified the taste of your lips
Everything I had
Everything I feel
Electrifies your touch on my skin
I am cool,
I am fire,
I am blood of desire
I am flesh,
I am stone,
I am ancient mystery and future unknown
Electronic exotic
9. Full Moon
See who you think you are
Somewhere out of time
You always thought that you'd go far
Thinking the world was benign
So many faces in so many worlds
Singing in sickening tongues
Your head seems to writhe
And your body uncurls
When you're touched with the shimmering light
Full Moon, shining low
Pulling our minds through the embers of time
See through the patterns above
Look to the meanings you'll find
Always the ending is love
You've got to be willing to climb
Full Moon, shining low
When the leaves say nothing
And the wind is still
When the darkness
Drowns your eyes
Then the wisdom you've found
Will soon make you ill
If you aren't listening
To their cries
Full Moon, shining low
Pulling our minds through the embers of time
Each one is holy and each one is real
No one is anyone's right
Each one is darkness and each one is old
Each one must come to the light
10. Apogee
11. Altar Of Desire
I woke up, sweating, in the middle of the night
The heat of fantasy spinning in my veins
Just one confession from you
Pours down on me like hot summer rain
Outside the window of reality
Headed for a breakdown, nothing I can do
I turn around and burn for you
Some things I don't believe in; I question my own faith
A separation between virtue and sin
As I fight with the shadows, alone with my thoughts
The fever burns ever higher
I kneel at the altar of desire
You walk in torment down a lonely street
Images of the heat dance on the wet, black stones
Just one confession from me
Tells you whether you're near or alone
Outside the window of reality
Scenes of a lifetime reflected in your eyes
We cross the chasm into shame
Some things you believe in; you can't deny your faith
Intent on who you are and where you've been
As you stand in the shadows, alone with your thoughts
You find the fever burns higher
And kneel at the altar of desire
Headed for a breakdown, nothing we can do
We are helpless, out of control
We turn around, disappear in the heat of the fire
Chained by our passions at the altar of desire
12. Worry Beads
What do you wear around your neck?
A good-luck charm, I suspect
To keep you safe on your way
Does it keep the world at bay?
Does it mean you never lead yourself astray?
Do some living in your life
You never know what you might find
You never have to be unkind to anyone
Don't be blind
We are all entwined
Don't be blind
Seek the divine
Put the charms away
You won't be needing them today
You will know in your heart
When it's safer to depart
Look up into the sky
You can do it if you try
Take your faith with you now
You will find it somehow
Don't you hide in yourself
You should know that never helps
When you're down turn around
If you seek you shall be found
Put your faith in the Light
In the Truth and you'll be right
Any day you will pray
And you'll find a better way
13. Doorways
Self-division
Motivation
Tiny rooms of allocation
Turn the key
Lock it in
Shut your ears to the noiseless din
Enter knowledge
Enter fear
Enter where your flesh will sear
Through the doorways
Through the doorways
Through the doorways of your existence
Topaz eyes remind me of spring
Clear-water pods reflect everything
As the darkness tries to pull me in
There is no hatred here
Only love to calm our fear
Out of darkness and into the dawn
This is how your life goes on
Efface emotion
Block it out
Turn around to find your doubt
Ask for joy
And welcome pain
Before you see your tired body’s drained
Find your center
Find your self
While you deal with what you’re dealt
Through the doorways
Through the doorways
Through the doorways of your existence
Nature’s spell runs thick through the night
I remember your touch, giving me life
Your face so clear in my sight
There is no hatred here
Only love to calm our fear
Out of darkness and into the dawn
This is how your life goes on…
