Tasting Emotion

You posses the power
to change the shape of something sour
into a delicious and sweet
song with a vibrant beat

To crank the heat
up to a high speed
racing and hot
give it all you got

Don’t wait for change
produce the right range
to flow through the void
you can be overjoyed

Sit back and relax
you found your way back
through the dust and the crust
it’s nice to be without lust

The range of motion
is clean and sheen
smooth like butter
it gives such a flutter

Taste it and love it
want it and have it
give it and see it
take it and leave it

Dropping in and out
always knowing what it’s about
strength and integrity
built with intensity

I have vision for flight
it keeps me up at night
soaring through clouds
without navigating crowds

What comes I welcome
what leaves is seldom
what’s meant to stay
for any length on a given day

Laughter and sorrow
I do not need to borrow
fluidly through a window
they flow and off I go

Let’s get this done
I want the whole run
show me your best
I’ll savour all the rest

The sun rises beside me
and sets behind the sea
one with the clock
it’s impossible to stop

Drinking the energy
it fills the cells with a pump
expulsion of fluid
exacting states of lucid

Let me tell you now
I won’t ask how
nothing to lose
life is my muse

Ignite

Rely on this, put on that hat
It will make you taller, look at that
Face the moon on certain nights
The clearing is coming with great might

It’s time to be alone but with trunks
Holding up the branches, clearing funks
Time to dance beside the sea
Let the messages come and find me

Dropping away from familiar
Taking another step, not so similar
The boat rocks but there’s a railing
You feel it inside, so keep sailing

The nights feel long and lacking
Longing for substance with less cracking
The days change shape often
Bringing less odours smelling of rotten

I hate to say you may be right
That staying here will be a bit tight
To loosen and expand is honest
Extracting what you can, keeping a promise

The quiet fog sits and speaks
A murky voice with hidden squeaks
The mist exists to cover the shine
Which finds me, always just fine

How to teach me how to know
Keep coming and making a show
There’s too much now of both sides
To see so clearly what now resides

Inside my heart and my mind
A match and a log ready to bind
Ignite the fire that’s ready to burn
When the time is right, we’ll have our turn

Sweat Price Tag

Let me sell you my sweat
If you only knew the price
You’d need to buy a valley too
To hold it all and own all the rights

Do you feel better now?
Sitting on the porch sipping gin
Watching the sunset, alone
I know you’re thinking about your sin

As the air stares at you in thick
What’s behind you is not the truth
Carrying forward today the clips
Of a new reality is all the needed proof

It’s quiet and you’re strong
The landscape mimics your mind
The vast empty space, endless direction
It holds you still, steady and kind

Let me sell you my thoughts
You’ve paid a lot and here you are
No debt, no regret, no fret
The darkness is gone, you’re lit like a star

There is always room for your gaze
You do this for you and it’s prepaid
Because the timing is right
The message is clear, that you’ve been saved

The last time you sat and stared
The sky wasn’t this big
The sun wasn’t this bright
The water, boy you really had to dig

But look, now it flows and it shows
The pressure lives somewhere else
The mountains are with you
They gave what you needed, look at your delts

You let the silence treat your wounds
I watch as the fainting sound sews the gash
It’s beautiful, you reach so deep
Laying back and feeling this, what a bash

Whispering the wind does, let’s hear it
The numbers don’t stop, over and over
The colour of your grin sends the cattle into battle
As they run you’re calm, a slow stalling motor

It’s coming easy peasy, and so very breezy
Taking off your shirt, sweat is running
All the many beads are enough 
To fill the valley. Our sweat, is stunning.
