An act of self-sacrifice
Outpour my heart with sherry wine
Transcend the sun with sensuous flight
Your memories ignite
Become the spoon in your earthly hand
Takes bites of buckwheat, figs and jam
Become the salted taste of rum
Memories on fire
An act of self-sacrifice
Seven courses,
seven courses trimmed with tears
Seven courses manifested
after all these years
Seven courses, seven courses at the core
Seven courses for the artist is never poor
Seven courses at the core
An act of self-sacrifice
Outpour my heart with wine
Transcend the sun with sensuous flight
Memories ignite
Become the spoon in your earthly hand
Bites of buckwheat, figs and jam
Become the salted taste of rum
Your memories on fire
Seven courses

Scenes From A Marriage

Scenes from a marriage
Language over environment
Happiness can’t be contentment
All along we are what we have been
If I say no to this child
I’ll redesign the cabin attire
Dismiss the feeling of utter shit
Pretend it hasn’t changed us a bit
But before long this will all take flight
Rearrange itself into oblivious delight
Only I can’t un-feel the choice I’ve made
Or the fact, that you were eager
to make it go away
Environment has beaten
our language to shreds
Scenes from a marriage
All along we are what we have been
Environment has beaten
our language to shreds

The invitation breathes you in
Rattles you like a desperate caged swan
It takes you to the edge of a deep fall
And calls you by name
The name your grandfather gave
Invitation breathes you in
Rattles you like a caged swan
Takes you to the edge of a deep fall
And calls you by name
The name your grandfather gave
The name he gave
The name your grandfather gave to you

I’m faced with quite a choice today
Do I recognize or ignore the shade
The shade of white that’s bleeding red
Cause you’re not everything I said
It’s not like this is a surprise
I just opened up my eyes
And now the guilt is shattered true
Regret for I’m not missing you
Sobered by your true reveal
Supposing this is how I feel
Grieving all that I’ve unearthed
Idolized you for my own worth
I put you on a pedestal
Shined your shoes, held your coat
The act of being face with you
It shocked me more
than you’ll ever know
I’m left with a bare windowsill
Romanticize you even still
Surrender is the word I live
Accept and not defend
what you cannot give
Grateful for the chance to choose
Treasure wholeheartedly and lose
Be open and vulnerable with ashen
One day soaked in more compassion
I’m faced with quite a choice today
Do I recognize or ignore the pain
The shade of white that’s soaked in red
With God’s grace I’m wiser yet

The Seed

The seed, the purpose
His palm on a patch of my skin
The smallest reminder
That we are connected
That this is beyond ourselves
It is a magnet, an energy
That speaks first and without words
Needs no translation
The world perceives,
more so the world craves
Like the earth seeks a refuge
The soil needs a break
From the abuse of a children
The seed, the call
Always there and hardly spoken of at all
My palm on your cheek
The slightest squeeze
from your fingertips
Saying all sorts of mysterious things
The acts that need no introduction
No prelude, no preparation
Not even a name from you or me
The seed, the center
The one we gladly choose
Every moment that a fingertip touches
The slightest patch of rouge
The seed, the purpose
The seed, the call
The seed, the center
You part of it all
The seed, the center
The purpose
His palm on a patch of my skin
