Take You Again

The corners of your mind are round
And the thoughts of the ocean are simple

The dark edges of this world
Cut the color of your sight
Into shifting patterns
Seasons
Years

But inside your sleep there is soft space
The quiet of fantasy
The vacuum of empty submersion
And indifference

But the morning sun redefines
The smiling lines on your face
The hard shadow of your fingers
Shading the red glow

A light that somehow continues
Brightly
Beyond the definition of skin
Happily unbound
In a world better than fantasy

Island

Grasp my life
Deep inside your palm
Breath inside your cracks and seams
Sing it like a song

I was close to you
Once upon my birth

But now I've fallen
Fallen, God
Deep inside the Earth

Reach for my heart, please
Give me hope that I
Can run to you
Can run it through
Simple visions in your eye

I love you
And your return is the sea

Your crashing waves
Your silent face
Allow my heart to breath

The surface of your palm
Is all
All to me

Bring me to that island high
And teach me
The life that once was free
