We’re getting closer. Let's rediscover Every sound and color. Its all I need, and its all free.

There's no time to frown. The tide will come back around. Its so simple, not too profound: All I need, its all free.

Rediscover every sound and color.

Close your eyes to see in the dark. Do you dare to speak in question mark? Forget your name? Forget where you're from? Do you know what you're made of?

Typical things, they trick the mind. Would your ego fancy a ride? We're getting closer to the end of the show, the time will come for all of us, I know.

I’m getting closer. Let's rediscover every Sound and Color. Its all I need, and its all free.

There's no time to frown, the tide will come back around. So simple, not too profound- All I need is free.

Close your eyes to see in the dark. Do you dare to speak with question marks? Forget your name? Forget where you're from?

...Let's rediscover every Sound and Color.

[wordsofsalem]

I don't want to see your face.  I don't want you to speak my name in vain.  Close your eyes upon our first meeting; Only after we share the sacred kiss will I begin to unstitch your lids. Do not be afraid, love, no. Do not be afraid of love, no no. Close your eyes, shut them tight, Learn my soul in the dead of night.  There is truth, and there is everything else.  You can't read it in a book, you have to find it by yourself.  Your eyes will deceive you, Don't trust what you see. Close your eyes when you look at me.

Lucy says  Follow me into the wood Skip like a child  Drink from the river so sweet, so wild Run around barefoot Forget the world if you could Don't think twice, don't think at all Realize how small you are. Take another sip,  Let's go on a trip Lights in your eyes And a little Lucy on your lip It's amazing & crazy  How my hearts no longer heavy With you, Lucy We only had one night but that night made me forget time, Sweet Lucy Take me by the hand into the promise land, Lucy, Lucy...

He was an angel boy with Ashy hair We’d ride the grey skies down the 99 He liked to break the rules, I liked to see how far I could bend them.

Angel boy, don’t you cry no more I think I’d die for you, Angel boy What did I do before you fell from the sky ?  Oh, Angel boy.

[wordsofsalem]

Losing my patience,    I'm losing my patience. I'm tired of waiting, I'm hopeless... Tired of playing and losing-  Losing my patience,    losing my sanity  Maybe I lost it long ago, maybe now I'm losing me... Lost on a tangent,    little boat out at sea  Let me drift far away Lose all t..i..m..e... Losing my focus,     can't be losing my focus. When I'm hurting, you should know this, if I need help you won't notice... Lost on a train of thought, choked by the hands of the clock- I got to get off but it won't stop Lost on the train of thought...

[wordsofsalem]

Iconoclastic. Icon like classic Karmann Ghia, mama mia red lips fantastic. Face, like gold.  Heart, stone cold. Shiny plastic, Her legend lives on   Timeless, everlasting - Now you're blasting every song on the radio, Singing every word saying, "this girl I used to know."  Your friends are buying tickets to the west coast show, But do you dare to go now? Did I scare you somehow? Iconoclastic. Idolize bombastic. Bite the apple, burn the chapel. Sly psychopathic. The faces will change, agenda stays the same. It's fucking drastic, control the masses, It's all holographic! Now you're questioning the things on the TV screen Thinking for yourself saying "it's all conspiracy" Your friend's are buying tickets somewhere lost in the crowd  Do you dare to go now? Does it scare you somehow?

here is a song I wrote today. Please enjoy...

[wordsofsalem]

I sat there and wondered if everyone else knew, were they counting down too...

[wordsofsalem]

Suddenly, as it does on        somedays, sun days, Hate subsides beneath       the layers of dead leaves. Some days, sun haze,      melts like  butter grease On my tender curves,        the warmth and the love on my skin Some days, sun ways,    seems to come from within. 

[wordsofsalem]

For rest, forest.  Forest,  for rest. 

[wordsofsalem]

Is that pollen or electricity in the air I can't tell, but it's making my nose tickle And my skin is starting to crawl Like the bugs on the sugar pine In 60 days it will be fall, And all this pollen Will spark me to a bloom. 

[wordsofsalem]

Oh how funny,  life seams  Rip tides where people lie and try to hide from the current life Seems to be sewn together By careful stiches over a healing wound

[wordsofsalem]

There's no one new around you A child's voice echoed in the hallow tree stump. The brook is still now, the bugs have multiplied, But not a soul has graced your evening glow. There's no one new,  But you.

[wordsofsalem]

More pen marks on the page; not an emotion or words come to mind, but surely I would care for a kiss of the lips. Floaty snow image clips.

[wordsofsalem]

Cat puts paw on my shoulder Then rests head on my chest  Slinky silk fur slips around my fingers I don't sleep alone.  But I reek  Of rotten companionship. My bed is not made, Cat & I lay.

[wordsofsalem]

The strings of my heart are annoyed. Plucking, pulling. Jerking, strumming. A child's guitar, distressed.
