Magnetic North Soul

Spin the needle

True north or dare

To follow the magnetic pull

Of your soul

Into the blizzard

Your silhouette flickering

In the fire lit window

Growing fainter

With each step

Freediving for air

Freediving into the blue. I found abalone hiding under stones. I found waves that washed over me like days long gone. The stingrays sleeping in the sand. Tonight I fear their gracefulness in dreams of swaying kelp beds.

Black and White is a Grey Area

Color is the new black
And white photo album
Slowly fading to sepia tones
Of deaf
Our days like the smiles we only make for the camera
Concealing grey memories that burn as strong as white flame in our hearts

Summerized

Look at the time
It's now
This is when we resolarize
Falling backwards off the waterfall
Plunging deep into turquoise summer
We'll never surface again
To sit under shady trees
Waiting for another amber autumn to return

The Fading North

We fell like snow over icy shores
I still remember the smell of winter on your skin
In dreams we forget every morning

Snowblind

White on white
Against the frozen sun
Our minds eye burns from the brilliance
Of memories never shared
Lost under weeping snow drifts
In this icy desert we call home

Strangeways

Will we ever find our way back from strangeways?

When we passed our fingers through the candle flame

And no one cared and there was no one to blame

And the light at the end of the tunnel was the gravy train

That we rode again and again

Waving goodbye to lovers we left behind
