80's Nite

these are words I've longed to say to you
they're wrapped in guidance
over bridges thru
and
out the windows I can hear your call
I can hear you in
the hallway songs
of the 80's
make a rotation
they play
neon
Goonies
Madonna
Chevy Chase
they are family in the dreams inside
was a hand written note:
"in love, we combined"
designed by fate
defined by you
my pops lived an extra day
because of you
it's in the winds of sun
are in the waves of moon
an entire life
will conquer soon
an entire stage
for an entire age
the entire plan
to see entire change
entire selves
entires lives
as we grow together
whatever
the strife
that's why
you
and
i
were borne by moonlight
on 80's Nite
that's why I stopped and turned around
and you emerged within the electro sound
my body can't be found
if i can't even move to stand my ground
with our future in our eyes
like a John Hughes movie we'll live our lives
that's why
you and i
were borne by moonlight
on 80's Nite

Thaumas & Eros

the words and i build a beautiful beat
the streets
will i
see them?
will i
beat them
all to bury layers thrown upon me
can i
break them?
can i
shake them
to the cores,
the yonder shores are speaking to me
shall i
swim to them?
shall i
give to them
my fears
appears a phantom beckoning me
should i
tell him?
should i
meld with him?
i must peel the layers away,
the flower blossoms to a sunlit
day, i must find a culture
create
somehow to learn
to satiate
the
time
and
i
in a canopy
will we
ever speak?
will we
ever dream
to the scenes of a completed means
we wanderin free
could we
escape it?
could we
take it
to the rivers wash away our eternity
am i
enlightened?
or am i
frightened
& alone as the sun circles home
my bones and body
is it
a vulture
like our evolving culture?
i must peel the layers away,
the flower blossoms to a sunlit
day, i must find a courage
create
somehow to learn
to satiate
the
time
if i knew
thaumus
&
eros
what
would
they
be
saying
of their
wonder
and
loving
every
moment
we
have
feel the wonder inside
i must peel the layers away,
the flower blossoms to a sunlit
day, i must find a courage
create
somehow to learn
to satiate
the
time

The Real You

i peel back the layers want to get thru today
& I fight for the vacuum of our future dismay
it will be okay
the gypsy say
i look in her eyes at the lingering stray
its the ace of cups that the tarot made
the cards lose their color & drain to gray
the ascension played
she's a watering womb
she cackles out loud
you need a stronger you
can it be so soon
in life and truth
my hands are cracked and wrinkled
i see you lost in their grooves
don't stop so soon
but what will you do
cause time has no knowledge of how or whom
or the shadow's gloom
as he follows my lead
i'm drained of all blood & gravity
when you're away from me
i'm a casualty
an absentee of an older me
we're both in need of the real you
and i become the chime for eventual reprieve
the rain and blame
wash away
grimy disease
& I do believe in our destinies
the gypsy's gem
higher zen
imagine a beam
is the cardinal creed
of totality
self realized and battling
for the strength to be
alive in the countenance of you
my fears dissipate in the glowing soothe
of a discovered you
& what will we do
the fractured end
our binding grin
in tune with the proof
of our fortitude
as i wait for the moon
to shower waves
calm our wait
pull our pistols out at noon
and the gyspy croons as
i walk from her dreams
i see this could all be reality
and the tarot screams
and lifts from the page
the banality of our fighting cage=
don't be afraid
don't dissipate
we all have a means to get this straight
we're both in need of the real you

and as the owl awaits the morning light
to peel back his eyelids
oh the dismal display of the hunt
in the night
i can hear rather than see
the spectacle of a morsel
slithering its carcass
it's a dead man walking
a blind man stalking
a deaf man talking
to a mangy cat in the brush
the crackling of life's gnarled branches
under the feet of the meek
under the thumb of the mighty
to tithe thee to go free in murky sea
a radio free technology of expedited greed
on the markets speed
a 7 minute spending spree
a million dollar finder's fee
see the serpent seethe
bite into knee
the ecstasy of the king kill successfully
rebelling against an entire culture's mythology
of happiness compartmentalized demagoguery
wandering alone at the dawn's early light
i open me wings
i twirl me head
i open me beak
to the dream
of an infinite sky
in dimensions of multiple times,
are we all writing
together?
do i need to testify that i
am one
in the theory?
as muscles finally settle
i can speak only sentences
cluttered and battled
as i move off
from inside tree canopies
as a glorified
monstrosity
taking
flight
i open up the Gates
the Stars dim
in me
eyes
i say
good night

gG was born from the sweltering ashes of the modern American dream, in a vast multiverse, in the prison of purgatory lost in the sixth dimension of Earth.
