we are the ground
and the ground still wants
it hungers and screams
a demand we cannot oblige
we are the cage
paces reflected wall to wall
as standing waves and silence
us echoes of the exorcism
we are the door
the sound of plastic wrap foreboding
and entities clad in frowning
ever pouring the same questions
we are the salt
sweet smell of alcohol and chlorine
just solvents and agents and puzzles
we are all and one and none
only beyond the final edge
i realize, truly, i am
through many doors and motions
once more but never home
one thing after another
even unpacked they weigh
for i will always have to carry
the burden, the solitude, the joy
where else but elsewhere
while my mind remains adrift
one way or another i drown
ever the crushing silence
so i create a little bit of somehow
for comfort and survival
however hollow it may be
this, too, shall never pass
maybe easy, easy seeming
ask not why, why, why
but an uphill, uphill battle
still i try, try, try
merely brittle, brittle armor
for my heart, heart, heart
it will shatter, shatter quickly
once you start, start, start
out of balance, balance fallen
torn to shreds, shreds, shreds
like a deadly, deadly poison
as it spreads, spreads, spreads
and a thousand, thousand needles
when it stings, stings, stings
only burning, burning anguish
that it brings, brings, brings
with an always, always loaded
smoking gun, gun, gun
for the trigger, trigger threatens
better run, run, run
beyond the river
and into distance
between us, far and fleeting
the universe still expands
when i squint to windward
we are all beholden here
to space, and time
and our hearts
witness or master
the great divide
distance by longing
to overcome when overcome
ride the solar winds
take me any place where you
unlike these tracks that never cross
one day we'll meet again
where i melted away from your sigh
every second a perfect dream
now a memory, still agleam
together we sailed the sky
in the half-light i basked in your smile
every word said by you
enchanting but true
a new tale, amazing and wild
where i saw your reflection in steel
in the joy that you brought
sometimes breath barely caught
all the things you made me feel
in the half-light we savored and soared
caresses gentle and warm
swept away like a storm
headfirst into worlds unexplored
where the wind still whispers your name
we mixed like the galaxies
i can hear your melodies
together, brightly, we stood aflame
one hundred
forty thousand
four hundred
so fast they
where have you
how did it even
from here to now
cannot stop but
until again we
all at once all the time
can it really
wow
tão ousada quanto você
como vivendo o sonho fogoso
por favor, seja minha mestra hoje
me torno a piranha, hehehe
talvez um gosto bom você tem
em breve vou comer você também
eles não podem nos ferir
vamos recuperar agora
fica uma palavra potente
me chamo a piranha, hehehe
talvez um gosto bom você tem
em breve vou comer você também
me acorde, querida
me leve, me molde
me seduza, bonita
me educe, me liberte
sem vergonha, amiga
cheguei para reivindicar
talvez um gosto bom você tem
em breve vou comer você também
in fire and light
crimson shining the blade
by dawn we shall be unmade
as long since foretold
and by your hand
we end as we once began
as winds and times must change
the fates' whims rearrange
and steal that which we crave
to drown it in the waves
from silver threads untied
into the dark divide
an ocean deep and red
where all the tears are shed
in fire and light
crimson shining the blade
by dawn we shall be unmade
as long since foretold
and by your hand
we end as we once began
it wants but cannot be
what would i give to see
through whispers in the mist
on water moonlight kissed
like fading battle scars
and riddles in the stars
an insight please bestow
but we shall never know
in fire and light
crimson shining the blade
by dawn we shall be unmade
as long since foretold
and by your hand
we end as we once began
forbidden magic words
at saga's ending heard
vain dreams of yesteryear
shall hold no power here
let me behold your sight
before truth stains the night
the dreaded spell is cast
and we are free at last
in fire and light
crimson shining the blade
by dawn we shall be unmade
as long since foretold
and by your hand
we end as we once began
fly, fly to the raven's nest
where we become undone or one
how could i ever not succumb
gently caressed by words most mesmerizing
pode ser tudo
pode ser nada
pode ser nós
what is yet a message in a bottle
be it candle or blaze
i will burn in your gaze
drowned in the infinities of your eyes and
pode ser para sempre
pode ser o destino
pode ser só por hoje
what cannot be said will be wept
but all can be dared
because i prayed this word - i want
o seu sorriso e a sua voz
o seu toque e a sua alma
são os mais encantadores
sem você, estou com saudade
