i lost my mind
can't come up with anything
lost the wish to do so
now i only have the desire
blind
blind
shit
It was a dream, not a nightmare. A beautiful dream I could never imagined in a thousand nods. I saw this girl next to me, she wasn't beautiful until she smiled. And I felt that smile come at me in heat waves following. Soaking through my body and out my finger tips in shafts of color. And I knew somewhere in the world, somewhere, that there was love for me.

    Then sing to us, Sound
    With your hearts' desires
    and please
    Don't trust the mischievious mind
    It plays tricks and leads one astray
    Look deep inside and the wish
    is still there
    It will be granted times ten
    This I've known.....
    '..... Ah! A perfect illustration of the poststructuralist paradox. Does the signifier "Merlot" correspond with the 'truth' of the bottle I polished off last night, or do we hold in our thoughts a different "signified" of bottle-of-Merlot-ness? Perhaps we're dreaming of the same bottle!" -FinsburyParkCarrots

    Let heart o'erleap the mind
    And seek out kith and kind

    blue whisper
    out of range
    over the beach
    out from each wave
    strain the ear to hear
    the echoes
    fumbling
    low
    free from reach
    and never clear
    (and never clear)

    but
    where
    the black ford
    hits
    the sea

    quick - capture, rich upon this breaking shore
    her call.....
    it's there!.......
    She's here!.........
    The blue.......

    Just

    under

    here.

    'Twas my own "Whale Song". The one by Jack Irons is much better.

    what is the difference between wish and desire? is it like wanting something never before acquired or wanting something again that one knows by experience?

    simple words say
    much more than you know
    they are brief and open
    wide-eyed for the callback
    laying yourself down
    takes courage and love
    means trust must live
    and protect the witness
    of secrets and fear
    doubt if you will
    proof is in time
    clever pirouettes
    soon show the tatters
    in the dancer's hose
    all is not obvious
    nor given as real
    but guaranteed
    is the constant star
    reflected in your eyes
    and means one thing
    there is a soul
    that is akin
    waiting for the time
    you awaken and
    begin to dream
