Lost In The Universe I still like to go outside and look at the stars, even if the cold is cutting like a knife, like tonight. I look at the stars stuck fast in the crystal air and find the bright shapes that we used to find.

Not the planes that are bound for the many cities of the world, I mean the big interstellar vessels. If I look up I can see them cast a shadow over a small part of the sky.Sometimes I wonder if you could be traveling on one of
The Space To Run The Space to Run1.It was one o'clock in the morning. The glowing numbers stared at him resolutely, forcing him to move. The air was chill as he stood by the large window. Outside a cobalt sky showed the stars like a city of light, twinkling in their slow treks around the horizon.He crossed the large bedroom to the reflective glass door, which slid open soundlessly. His feet were cold on the smooth, stone floor. The environmental control glowed a dim green on the wall. 56 degrees Fahrenheit.

Boldly As the moon roseAs the trees spokeSwaying smoothly as the heartWith a beat that is redand deliciousWith fire coursingand meltingIts way through timeOur fire, we feltWe cried that it belonged to usBut time and fireNever knew our namesOur precious youthand hidden gamesThat vanish, untracedYet we lay, boldlyBeneath the starsSurrounded by emptinessand beautyFor a moment
Boundaries Hands and fingers feeling downCross the boundaries I laidSparks shatter my soundless worldFulfill the wish I should have madeI want to feel like this foreverLost in your loud world, all colorDreaming through a lonely vesselLiving just to touch each otherWatch the dark hide your desiresWrap yourself in reds and yellowsLay yourself across my thresholdForget the world and all its troublesBut time was slow and we were fastOur fears rained down to drown our flamesWe passed the day, refused the nightI thought of you and laughed and criedAll that's left - this thread of wordsIt's strong enough to pull you inOr tie
Tremble at Time The rushing stream orSlow dripMaking puddlesReflectingA shapeless minuteGiven formWandering mindReflectingThe cries of "Wait!"Are made in vainWe're faster ever flowingThe words we sayOur hidden namesThese sculptures in the night
