Time & Chances

The movies took our language
New pockets full of coins and dollar bills
Nostalgia of our first touch
And, the failure of that dream
We were never nightmares
We are a legend, invisible, but legendary
A history summed-up in absences
One eye-blink in my last eternity
Take the elevator, and go down, towards my desire
Ascending, descending – creaking and speaking
Shining bright beneath lampshades of intellection
Later loves are greater loves
News of a romantic war interrupts the radio-station playing in the near-by background
Finger-tips touching reality's face, my own face strikes with tears in the mirror
Reflecting a human
Secret beds and lovers will forever hide under another moonlight
In the air: Thoughts fly all around – filling empty space – broken minds in beautiful
bodies
Previously unable to receive love, not knowing the self as "lovely"
He who loves himself, loves me, who loves myself
I walk thru a universe – with all life gone
Flowers jet out from his sad head
Chin-up my darling
Silent together – dreamlike
Gaze into my world, Blank-eyed
I will show you the ways in which I know you
I'll see your eyes again
Hopeless comedowns: Once addicted to each others love
An angel woke me, to see past my own reflection
Spectral skeleton of electricity
- Another project for the heart
I wonder who now smokes and loves in The city of angels
Who's talking magic under the night?
Who walks hand in hand with bottles in their eternity?
Whose eyes collect the streets and interstates for storage in his memory?
Create with me: A virginal feeling again –
The world misses peeking thru our key-hole at 2:00 a.m., they have kept our nudity within their hearts
In a sudden glimpse we are "no one" in the air
We are "nothing" but clouds in the moonlight
But then, kiss me again
Where shall I fly, not to be sad my dear?
Jump in time – to the immediate future – return to the old land
Where we once dissolved into sunless walls of blackened rooms
How many years will we float upon this sweetened scene of trees and humans?
Even the ugliest seek beauty, all movement stops, we walk in the timeless sadness of existence
Standing, lost in calm thought
Confused by the spectacle taking place around us
An innocent face takes shape in the clouds for me to look at
I thought he was a dream: I questioned his existence
He faded in front of me
Naked, original skin beneath our thoughts and dreams
Souls identical: Each to Each
Look into my eyes, you are speaking to yourself
His soul already exists inside my body
A gleam of illumination has come to me
Who else was he then? (but himself)
- - An Angel, thoughtful of my body and of my dry love-struck tongue
My soul mate: You are that soul (small as it may seem)
Sleeping alone, or with a lover, or with a dreamer
Endure, as the moonlight blinds our eyes
Unhappy endings
Re-runs of cloudy highway drives
Our screams and laughter fell from the engine
We'd burn together all night
Hands of time pass upon the clock of the world
He salutes me
Resurrecting lost flesh
A moment's work of mind in ageless monuments of love
Together, scattered in madness of oblivion to holes and notes of the imagination
Memorials were built of our bodies.
I give you a chance, a flight, a present – in present, in the flesh from my imagination
Anxious to discover where one last joy-ride takes us
