Hocus Pocus 03:24
lyrics
buy track
Jazmin’s juices stream in me Surrounded by white lilies Timbered treadmills wave at us While elfins tangle their tales Airy fairy elfin land Moony merman took my hand Seaborne ships on golden ponds By his lips unsealed Salty skin of moony merman Remembers lilies, love and lust Moulds in magic mirror Irresistible temptation Salty skin of moony merman Lavished lilies, love and lust Tangled tales to timbered treadmills Hocus, pocus, pontius, pas

Elegy for a Cherry Tree 05:04
lyrics
buy track
In a garden far-flung A cherry tree is weeping For her beloved companion Has left the earth for good Her leaves are sighing, her limbs do ache, The wind can hear her branches moan Though tears adrift like flower-buds Cast veils to hush her woes Where chills of winter still stir the air And spirits shift to other worlds Her flower buds on soils so bare, Spin silks that sway my thoughts You welcomed every year Her blossom-laden branches And when your eyes did lose their light Your soul then saw her imprint Adaptable to every season Like a tree you dealt with life No point resisting winter When days are growing short I imagine my friend in Nangiyala Among blossom trees aplenty Where blue-bells roll out their lilac carpets And birds sing their songs to welcome him Tending your garden fills your day Now memories make you smile For loss has flown away For good

Iemanjá's Chant 06:26
lyrics

this ship would like to count you in on dreaming into space through star lined skies and azure seas with infinite horizons submerged in ancient waters with dreamlike creatures in every shade medusas all around you like fairy queens in luminous gowns with yesteryears on neither shore your presence all that matters on yearning ships with wavering sails your dreams adrift, your thoughts at peace

Empty Room 06:00
lyrics

for months this room stood empty wept silence, squealed hollowness every grain backed sail while shivering its timbers spread out virginal boards yearning to be tread upon exposed to the world where drafts took all shelters voids uninhabited lying idle and forsaken the land of shadows has moored inside an absence, so present almost tangible to the world entwined with darkness I have become lost to the world “local priest called today and leaves this card with his blessing” shooed away are the specters and cast out my fears today I entered being enticed by stillness Spread out virginal boards, like wings Yearned to be freed nobody lived there though anybody could my fantasy moulded a habitat where paradise-birds could sing sublime void of emptiness where mirrors lack reflections where nothing seems impossible a room that dreams dreams

Hummingbird 02:41

hum, hum, hummingbird shake your glowing wings save the sunrise in your soul beyond the bounds of dusk butterflies will light the trail petals hush your way spiders weave your spirits path ablaze by golden rays graced with sage and emeralds spiders spin your tales freedom, vast and infinite whispers in my ear

Violet Shades of Nothingness 03:10
lyrics

amethyst, purple, magenta and rose violet, lilac, indigo and mauve magenta colored mindset and rocks like marbled mauve smoke trees’ silver branches turning indigo and rose in search of outer reaches where inner space has formed lilac landscapes of teddy-bear choyas violet prickly pears purple captured mountains amethysts that glow sunset weave a web without a weft cirios wave their weary wand dreaming of ...

Dolphin's Search 02:38
lyrics
buy track
dolphin’s search for yellow bright that grants him with a window of which he until now heard only by hearsay that will offer him an exit out of inner regions torn to pieces which injure and which wound him and keep him fleeing so through which his glance over land through air may wander peacefully his soul at rest, his grief at peace his hand then holds his daughter’s

Haunted Spirits 03:51
lyrics
buy track
haunted spirits on the run for sorrow of sequestered cradles feel of lingering masts inside that lure into the skyline afloat a dove will heighten swift if bound for destination scattering pearls by waning moon unfold their source of grief hush little baby don’t be afraid love transcends all of fears while adrift my raft will moor rocking gently, lead ashore

Ancestors 03:16
lyrics
buy track
ancestors at tips of fingers leaving trails inspired by wind palate soft by waves created licking patterns at my shore vessels woven into seaweed complicate my daily life rolling waves like opened legs bear a child in merest ashore while struck by seizures wind blew whilst creating all magna carta’s law of universe soothing me when I’m asleep mahatma’s belly wanes and waxes ebbs and floods when she decides northern lights, bound me southward navigating sparkling dreams

Worlds' Embrace 03:16
lyrics
buy track
when deep inside I felt this pain unbearable, I feared my dreams would shift to other worlds with arms that opened wide where space and air and sky and sea would hold me while I healed for tears I sensed streamed deep inside a million ones, a million ones in warm, embracing arms I felt my pain could hide for closeness seemed so close but distance still so far the native tongue, of no use there for she’d become estranged I needed prose from other shores that dared to speak of grief through vast horizon’s sweet embrace my pain resolved, my faith was restored in crooked tongue, with wavering voice I spoke the words, inapt before with wavering tongue, in crooked voice I found my way around it all for closeness seems just right here and distance is no longer far
