Beyond The Palace Gates

Beyond the palace gates
There are gardens lost to Eden’s ghost.
Truth and truth be told
Forever young and never old,
Embrace me I’m cold.

Here we are fresh youth
Flesh proof of life’s decay
Find me, lord of the day
Entwined in the arms of the goddess Night.

Find me set within my ways
Find me set in stone
Find me and you’ve lost your way
Forever I’m alone.

Go you! Find me a wife
Embodiment of all that is love divine
With ocean eyes that catch the drift sublime.

Bless the world in the days undressing.
Caress me, touch me, and never leave me.
Believe me when I say
The night and day become me.

Lord and Lady ecstasy
Divinity
Reality
All are the web in weaving
Express yourself
Undress yourself
Kiss me if you’re leaving.

Here we are a generation reborn
Scorned by our father’s hand
Taught to rape not love the land.
Chimney stacks. Torture racks
Stretching our mother’s lungs.

Stretch me out of time.
Where am I?
Where is my mind?

The hills are giants sleeping
Keeping watch in slow movements
Changing with the moment
Rearranging the faces of ochre and umber.
Emerald gales and cloud shadows.

My friends they are lost as I,
Seeking all that was promised to us
Through fairy tale philosophies.
Sing a lullaby lament for our good friend Socrates.
