No stars in the sky tonight
Just the highway and this vulgar sunset
In the parking lot we sit side by side
Your hip resting one foot from mine
In the constellation of cars
We have drawn ourselves

I saw the most innocent love
But a cloud was blurring it, fading it
You turned your face toward the light
And when the light entered your face
I lost you

Powder of Time
06:33
|

With cupped hands, I prob your mystery
For each layer holds a story
With a bucket, I will make a castle out of your flesh - out of your bones And at the top of each minaret, I will place a fossil
A prayer, a witness of the past
A jewel shining on us
Through a sieve, I will silently watch the powder of time consuming itself
And as my blood satisfy your thirst - And as you petrify my heart
In your womb you will protect my secret
Your offspring will bear beauty
And their first cry will be an ode to truth

Through a sieve, I will silently watch the powder of time consuming itself

Surrender
09:25

As I surrender my body
Life's mechanism starts to show itself
It is the simple things - when you raise your eyes to me
It is the simple things - when you ask if I need any help
It is the simple things - when I watch quietly your lips form into a smile
It is the simple things - when I feel your arm around my shoulders - that touch me most
As muscles and bones blindly temper against the unknown
I will turn a protective gaze toward my loved ones
As I spring my legs forward to attend the everyday chores
Awareness will slightly fall backward - like an echo - just a few steps behind
Mindfulness will diss-synchronize itself from the flesh
Falling behind the contour, the skinline of my body
As I gently bend my neck on one side
As consciousness fadingly echoes fleshness
I will feel and receive your utmost attention
