Woolsey

On the crest of the silhouette hill
Red lights hang like Judas stalking his kill
Panicked loved one’s wet eyes glow
Glancing back to once was home
I’m a sailor searching for the grail
I’m a warrior translating brail
The sky fires they slice and gouge
And I can’t tell if I’m lost or I’m found
No I don’t know if I’m lost or found
Far from me is the freeway
Woolsey jumps as the brown grass burns
All of Fate’s heat evident in it’s rage
In smoke signal written words
In cloud written words
No one knows the best way to go
Frightened fast or slow
While I’m caught in smoke’s barbed wire
I’m trying to put our fire
I’m putting out fire
I’ve been putting out. Putting out, putting out…
Let me Forget Today til Tomorrow
No escape for a scorched soul
I live a life that is Black and borrowed
Nothing left to console
I can’t get back what you stole
No I can’t get back what you stole
I’ve been putting out. Putting out, putting out…

California Home

There’s a land I love
That Cascaded from above
She’s a sweet, cherub fool
And a wayward demon just like you
Whether in sea or redwood
Or posted deep down in the hood
All of Guthrie’s California stars
That crash it’s women, wine and bars
Sing
Sierra, Joshua
No matter where I roam
It’s my home
California home
There’s a thousand religions
For a million more positions
Some roll up like Humboldt kin
Or soak in supple Sonoma zin
All those schooled in traffic 101
Hungover from last night’s hit and run
Sing
Ventura
Sequoia
No matter where I roam
It’s my home
California home
Bus tires drone on a flat Midwest lane
Makes you ache for the crack of a breaking wave
Dream of her golden sand and sea
That’s where you long to be
No matter where I roam
It’s my home
California home

Your Love is so hard to find
The way you hide it is so cruel and unkind
Where’s your heart of gold? I’ve never mined it
Forget that deal we made? You never signed it
Your Love is so hard to find
They say that Love is blind
It’s the flaw and strength in it’s soul design
I stumble around tap my cane inside our bed
But all I see is the shadow of my lonely head
Your Love is so hard to find
I’ve been searching for her night and day
In a broken de ja vu ballet
I’ll keep crawling cross the floor that way
Until she comes
Until she comes
Until she comes
Your Love is so hard to find
It's buried down as deep as Egypt’s devine
A cold tomb is your Love shrine
Ain’t no godly guru that could penetrate your mind
Your Love is so hard to find
Yes, I’m looking for it high and low
I just don’t know where else to go
Your Love is so hard to find...

Rise Above
04:49

|

Glide above me
Slide above me
My seraph immortal
With Wings of a Bodhi tree
You summon me
To pluck your fig with my tendril
You are
You are
Omega and Primal
I am
In the song of your soul
As we write our own Hymn to Love
That one day will be free of
The discord of akasha octave
Then we will Rise Above
Ethereal
And carnal
We fuse the paradoxical
You are
I am
Love Eternal
We will rise above
On the wings of Love

Tableau

Babe, I feel your presence
A shimmer on a rough sea
But I don’t know if you can feel me
You’re framed in the doorway
like a Braque tableau
But I can’t see your face as you go
No I can’t see your face as you go
I see you at the market
Our memoir in your hand
In a tongue only you understand
They flock to your depiction
In a Gollum flash mob
clenching the fiction as they sob
Yes they clench your fiction as they sob
We all want some heaven
But no one wants to die
we all want the truth but we lie
Babe I feel your presence
A shimmer on a rough sea
But I don’t know if you feel me
Did you ever feel me

He’s building 2000 miles
of barbed wire in the sky
I didn’t know they could cage my soul
But I know I cant fly
I just can’t fly
But I know that
Love has come to us before
Love before
Instead of promised paradise
He mainlines us with ICE
To entice the Klan to bottle blackberry jam
In a supreme ist sacrifice
In a fascist sacrifice
Love has come to us before
Love before
A specter built on lies
A trumped up spy on high
He bends the truth like Geller’s spoon
But I know I’m not blind
I just can’t fly
But I know that
Love has come to us before
Love before
