Honey Bee

There goes the honeybee
Steps out of line
“There’s got to be more to me”
Splits from the hive
Sees the stream trickling through time
When will it end?
“All the honey I’ve left behind
I wouldn’t live to spend”
The first flight of the bird
Stretches her wings
Can’t find the words
So she sings
Poor little honey bee
Tethered to time
“You’ve got to let go of me”
“I’m losing my sight”
Then she stumbles on lavender
Oh the softness of words
It’s the depths that give treasure worth
How lucky to hurt
One more flight in the bird
Hunger’s decree
Sees the lavender field
And the bee

Honey Bee Pt.2

Flood light
Nowhere to run or hide
Just want to hold one night
Slips away
Radiant blues turned grey
Creeps in like a glacial-paced stain
No tide
So remember to cherish the highs
And pray for a slow dance with time
Spring dreams
In lavender fields with the bees
Avalanches over me
Built right you can last quite a while
Or it’s only the length of a smile

April Showers
03:53

The cold stream
Splash and then scream
My eyes twice their size
Could see tired light
The hot sting
Ears start to ring
Collapse to the knees
Float on out of reach
But I’ll stick my feet into the mud
And I’ll split the stream in two
And if you get stuck
I’ll help you to get loose
Enter in the fog
Now April’s raining down
Shape-shift into the log
That carries you around

Impossible Colors

Come in
Peel under the lunar light
Which floor will we stop tonight?
Well it’s blurry neath the waterline
Can you open up and treat my blind?
Spill away
Come in
Let the colors mix a while
Blues and reds they drip like vines
In a tangled dance birth purple highs
Now cradled in the palm of mine
Spill away
And turn the page
The dice hit the floor
The ground starts to quake
A buzz at the door
The numbers in place

Stung

So sad that you got stung
Out of nowhere
Guess it’s bad luck
Hope that it doesn’t last
Take your time with it, but I really need you to come back

Moonbeam
02:39
|

|
Drifting on a sunbeam
Waking to a cool breeze
Stirring in a warm bed
Think I’ll frame the moment
Opened up the ceiling
Plucked me from the daydream
All the contents poured through
Now it fills the whole room
Watching as the snow piles high
Trapped inside the gold mine
Cocooned on the couch
Butterflies spill out
Drifting on a moonbeam
Safe from winter’s deep freeze
Listening to the chimes sing
Step into the dream scene
