lily

"When first I came to Ireland some pleasure for to find
It's there I spied a damsel fair, 'twas pleasing to my mind
Her rosy cheeks and sparklin' eyes like arrows pierced my breast
And I call her lovely Molly O', the lily of the west
...you´re my lily of the west"


this was performed for lady o´riordan

far away

see what you see
and
learn the rules
but
never give up
your
dreams
your
soul
your
fantasy
hold your head up
high
and
live
the spirit
forever

schism

I know the pieces fit cuz I watched them fall away
Mildewed and smoldering. Fundamental differing.
Pure intention juxtaposed will set two lovers souls in motion
Disintegrating as it goes testing our communication
The light that fueled our fire then has burned a hole between us so
We cannot see to reach an end crippling our communication.

I know the pieces fit cuz I watched them tumble down
No fault, none to blame it doesn't mean I don't desire to
Point the finger, blame the other, watch the temple topple over.
To bring the pieces back together, rediscover communication

The poetry that comes from the squaring off between,
And the circling is worth it.
Finding beauty in the dissonance.

There was a time that the pieces fit, but I watched them fall away.
Mildewed and smoldering, strangled by our coveting
I've done the math enough to know the dangers of our second guessing
Doomed to crumble unless we grow, and strengthen our communication.

Cold silence has a tendency to atrophy any
Sense of compassion
Between supposed lovers/brothers

Dich bedecken
nicht mit Küssen
nur einfach
mit deiner Decke
(die dir
von der Schulter
geglitten ist)
daß du
im Schlaf nicht frierst

Später
wenn du
erwacht bist
das Fenster zumachen
und dich umarmen
und dich bedecken
mit Küssen
und dich
entdecken

Es ist was es ist, sagt die Liebe!
