Metamorphoses

metamorphosis

-you see roots of light, filaments:
it's a miracle speeding ponderously, splendorously
where a congregation of stars transfigure into a winged-galaxy
and spiral-Angels glitter in your eyes --

dancing between every wondrous thing
in time and space matters,
orbiting infinitely in
where every round thing begins --

first-light at the edge of the fatal-skin you're in
rises in longing swells, the measure of your heart;
a nebulae of mystery, the numinous light of peregrinated stories --

from stars we come to stars we shall return, 
this ancient ache of longing urging us to burn, 
to shine on 'n on from inside out, 
where illumination is a fire without any doubt

I'm not worried, now, she is beautiful
no need to hurry, now, she never dies
in infinite nights, she is carried far and away ...

A Man In Need

Falling victim into sleep
Caught in a tidal-wave
Never knowing what will become of me
Transfixed on the brevity
Sinking in my uncertainty
Trying to break free
Free from the judgments placed upon me
Lost in a desert land
Left to find myself
Staring at the night sky
Always asking questions why
Never receiving a reply
Succumbing to the synchronicity
Or mortal fallacy
Entwined in this vanity
Vanity of my own fruition
Always searching the stars
Never finding what I've been longing for
For I am nothing but a man
A man in need of salvation
A man in need of solace.
