time lens - jun ninth ‘26

did you treat me like all the others
just so you could levae yourself behind
did you treat me like the others
just so you could say
I’m like all the other guys

narrate a story you’ve told yourself
time and time again
it’s them it’s not me
can’t you see
I’ve got dreams
fantasies
what will it take
I’m blind to reality

was I a lens
was I a mirror
was I all you wanted
you never saw such clearness

time and distanace
aren’t all that matter
time and distance
can’t rewrite chapters
fate is what you make
will you give in
or will you take
predestination
eternal
swallow the words
swallow your pride
open eyes
truth to seek
believe
make up your fate
sand
glass
lens
mirrors
all break

an island lost at sea - jul fourth ‘26

you were the last to break off
to drift away in darkness
never to be seen

I was the first one to call out
to reach for something
forever feeling

if you could go back to a point
would you
or would you do it again
demonstrating your faith inside
yourself to aprehend

I don’t kno what I would do
without a reflection
on my youth
full of tidal waves of truth

you’re an island
fully surrounded
by your own manifested
silence
I’m still calling for you
you’re an island
fully surrounded
by searchlights
bare and brightened
lost in a sea of completeness

have you ever taken a look inside yourself
and all you found was
all the storms you’ve survived
what’s that like
to believe in absolutely nothing
beyond your own beaches
that no one will ever reach you
history can be a teacher
but you were never one
to worry of a future

you’re an island
solitarily confined from
all you ever wanted
was a place to call your own
you’re an island
all you ever wanted
was a place to belong

stories to tell - may twenty-fifth ‘26

could you tell me
all the things you’ve never told
before

won’t you spare me
no detail worth repeating
I’m sure

you’ve got something to say
you’ve got something to share
I want to hear you say it
I want to feel you give it
to me

what unfolds
when you close your eyesyou release into the light
all the dreams you dream in darkness
all that you’ve kept inside

won’t you tell of fortunes send
of a fortune found and spent
won’t you shar eyour treasure chest
release it from your grip
and hold
onto something new
retell a story with a new
beginning
to me

music maps - jun twenty-sixth ‘26

I don’t know shit about making music
but I know a bit about having soul
tell me something anything
I’ll tell you something worth fighting for
I’ll tell you something you can’t ignore

how could I lose myself in someone else
when I can’t even find my way around
this town
without
a drum

what’s that sound you hear
foot clapping
hand stomping
follow your eyes
see your ears light up

show me the way
with your sounds
all I’ve heard for sometime
is the silence of your nights
I miss the movement
of your hips telling lies
at least that was teh sound of something
a map to a place of substance
exploration can be frightening
but what do you learn when you’re hiding
won’t you let us strike twice
this place needs some enlightening

day dreaming - jul thriteenth ‘26

I dreamed of a day
when a lesson learned
wasn’t tied to your fate
wasn’t lost in your faith
I dreamed of a day
where wanting remained

drifting directionless in the dark
I was floating flameless
in the smoke and fog
left after a spark is gone
all cold and lost
hoping to be caught
by something worth burning

I dreamed of a day
when a lesson learned
was a past forgotten
was forgiving a haunting
of someone taken
that brought you
to this point of view

why fear to reflect
does it cause you to tense
and run from a feeling
of losing yourself
why fear to reflect
you’re made up of all
the found parts
you’ve rejected and cast
farther than you’ll ever go

I dreamed of a day
when wanting remained

I dreamed of a day

beautiful contradiction - may thirty-first ‘26

won’t you share your words
for your actions to undo
I’ve heard what you’ve said
but now I’m watching for your truth
won’t you put away that charm
it goes great with those eyes
won’t you wear the real face
and reveeal your disguises

I thought I had the answers
when I found you out
I thought I could hold you now
I had a taste in my mouth
you see regret it comes easy
when you can’t learn a thing
hindsights 20/20
won’t you blind me again

the tree that bore the apple
was forbidden and sweet
the tree that bore the apple
a serpentines tease

you did this to me
when you undid yourself
can I rewrite the end
cause I’d rather believe
can I rewrite the end
you’ve got me down on my knees
can I rewrite the end
I feel a serpentines squeeze

say yes - jun twenty-seventh ‘26

I learned a lot
but there’s something I never
ever got to ask

you let me wraps my arms
around
but we never
ever held hands

you’re quite the keeper
of all I had to give
you’re quite receptive
what do I have left

no hard feelings
some may say
I never believe in softness
I’m hard always

what’s that to mean
was I a difficulty
a riddle a twist
something forgotten
to be reeled in

if you asked me
I’d have one thing to say
I do
I do
I do
would you ask me someday
or has our time come
and gone
have all our promises
of tomorrow
become wasted
yesterdays
if you asked me
I’d have one thing to say
to all your unanswered
memories
for tomorrow
say yes today

day in gray - july eighteenth ‘26

what did you see when you came to wake
what colors will you wear today
an endless spectrum of the light
to capture all your colors when you rise

I heard about the sound of music
lost amoung the mountain tunes and
neverending endings lost and found

with the sunlight in your eyes now
is that a furrowed brow you show to me
or is it you focusing
trying with all the effort
to share what you see

what colors will you capture when you rise
to wash away the dark and gray of night
what colors will you care to share and show
if the days gone gray will you still shine
in all the faded afterglow

what did you see when you came to wake
neverending endings lost and found
