the Bombs that lit up the night sky..
you brought your body closer to mine
a thick must mixed with terpertine
i closed my eyes, and frozen in time, began to count down
a half an hour 'til the roof goes up in flames
the bodies on the boulevard collapsing in
waves cracking bones
somehow we have been left alone, but
in little time our walls will crumble
an ocean breeze against a sand castle, you and i
the children who once lived inside
never did we notice what was so violent and near and closing in
we disappear back to the ocean
back to the waves
back to the ocean
back to the waves

Blackout
02:50
|
|||
|
if it must only be today, i would gladly take another moment
by unsure steps, my blackout brought me here only for a moment
hacking in the silted wind, peeled eyes bleeding from the sides
be my guide, a long lost friend of mine
lead me to the morning
and if when day, should you burn away all that which protects us
i'll believe, blackout, you were such good company.
i shall miss you. dearly

I Untied My Wrists
03:06
|

|
i untied my wrists. my hands were freed. gasping in the black breeze with the rainfall.
the spaces inside me, cavernous ricochets.
a voice is silent, now its the day. you and i are found in here.
dancing dark.
she moves for me. taking time untouchably.
electric wires and thunders pummeling against the hull.
sullenly silenced with a touch, we fade away, you and I, forever..

Of Time Wasted
03:36
|

Love clear me of time wasted on tending over the failing garden outside.
the palace wall is dry and cracked.
years of drought and violence
watching we most carelessly retreat
Love clear me of time wasted on holding on to flesh and blood for comfort.
the hearths not been lit for some time.
years of falling out of love
watching we most carelessly retreat

Remember Nothing
04:13

into the heart
remember nothing at all
a cloud of smoke
nothing at all to recall
where have you been?
how'd you lose your name?
without a name
whats inside a name?
and who decides?
as if us here who are of the night
are just some of those children flashing lights
who's laughter echoes down the lonely boulevard, lost in the night
i see them when i close my eyes, but never in real life
where have all the children gone?
i saw them all run to the water
in the light of the blast
into the heart.
it was was a cave deep underground we all salvaged beneath
what no one here seems to recall
just deals with the pain
the shattering past
where have you been?
and who's past it is now?
is it yours, or mine?
we must be brothers, you and i
and not just merely camped here for the night
because being here together there is a peace of mind i've not felt before
when all thats wrecked now was good, nobody understood

We Are One
02:47
|

|
we all one can become anyone
under cross electric fire
in the prison, we are one
a good companion in the steel
understands me like no other
and feels nothing i cannot feel
in the bolt of lightning, we are one

Beautiful synth-keyoard driven jazz with a cerebral atmosphere that's natural and artistic, as well as simply comforting to one's soul even as it challenges you, the listener, to open your ears. Maybe even your eyes, too. I select Sunrise on Pruhina as my favorite track, but really, it's all about "Goldilocks". A fave of 2021!!!
