Glass Cocoon

Surround me in fragile things
I rest deeply
like I am fragile too
Breakable things
Let me break down
Like I am fragile too
I am learning from glass figurines
Flower petals and teacups
Abstract feelings
Deconstructed through
Shattered expectation
It’s a good thing
It feels like a breakdown of my exhausted masculinity
This opening feels like violence to me
The kind that forces total transformation
Oriented towards heart
Like a jellyfish
I am thick light
Oh I feel it
Oh it’s my body
And this opening feels like violence to me

My heart smarted with life
and built a golden road
yes I say my mountain flower
one hundred rivers, an omen
& the floating smell of jasmine and myrrh
before death we slept
after life we saw her
without words, free to undress
a collapsing madness
half into darkness
responding to a practical display
of my private thoughts
he is patient and pining
crescendoing real frequencies
discovering the moon and bonus fever dreams
naked in your garden
slave to soft underneath
craving the secrets of pure expression
consuming like a wine drunk god
transmute your pain from isolation to lesson
letting out the primal surge of love
in the fearlessness of clarity

Fifty are the gates of understanding
And one hundred and six are the seasons thereof
And the names of every season is Death
And the threshold her open legs
To which you give every drop of blood
Impregnated in her
And then reborn
But I’m greedy like a child
I want it I want it
Yeah im greedy like a child
I cry and cry about it
I want to hide like a child
oh hold me hold me
And so I eat or sleep or I die
To ignore and distract me
She say hold out your heart
I will devour
She say live like a god
Or die a coward
But fifty are the gates of understanding
And one hundred and six are the seasons thereof
And the name of every season is death
And the threshold are her open legs
To which you give every drop of blood
impregnated in her
And reborn

Body Builder’s Lament
02:35
|
|||
You're adding layers, walls.
You're body so heavy, so big
Does that build allow for the sublimation of your total despair
Its childhood fear
The hatred of all things delicate
Realizing you need massive amounts of love
Lets cry about it, cry with me!
but you've prioritized the image over
The heart underneath
Hyper independence to submit yr tenderness, a slave
That which is denied gains power
And seeks insidious manifestation
Oh hey but you suffer
So beautifully
Like a red heart
Ripped from the chest of a sleeping buck
Soft like tearing a rose petal
Its a kind of cruelty
Archaic violence
Destroying paradise
Tell me, how do you do it?
With all that weight upon you?
Atlas wants to know
What gym you go to.

Deliverance
04:41
|

my heart has but one mouth that calls to you
I require no validation
for words
Are not the way of love
No I live without expectation
this too is love! that too is love!
I know the rotting fruit
The burning house the blooming branch
the suffering and the pleasure
The terrifying beauty of existing are all god
Its not up to I to decide
If I grow strong or weak
It is just God within me
So I allow and find joy
In every facet of the diamond covered in dirt
Oh this fragile mind of mine
I’m gonna let it die

Solve et Coagula
08:05

I am watching my ego want
to have, and to hold
And this spark
is a divine reminder
that I can be in love
and be alone
But I dreamt
Of your hair
in my mouth
And my bed
I feel
a warm fire
I don’t need
but I desire
I dreamt
of fur and sex
Of my hands
on your chest
And I feel
you trembling
An opened-mouth
an interim
Together then It’ll be better
We can come consider anything for Love
The pulse of power
The crumbling tower
First dissolve and then decide
Purify and then collide
There is no good, there is no bad
there is only this
we can consider anything for love
All that matters is the kiss, only this
Purify and then collide
No rules, no book,
Transparency, that godly look
A lunar Aphrodite
Authentic and deep
We shall see, we shall see
First purify and then collide
anguish comes when I realize
more naked places to discover
And you are the sun on the water
A divine spark that makes me want oh so much
But I will wait, I will see, I will wait till it comes to me
I will wait, then respond
Rather than strive or chase, I will wait
Purify and then collide
