Civilization Cyclic Changes

pacific decadal oscillation
song craft introspection
earth rich sonic textures

seed powerful varied forces
future echo fury devastation cycles
storm ecstatic melancholies

remarkable golden civilizations
spectrum sonic sung experiences
beautifully crafted melodic songs

erupts volcanic tsunamis waves
tornado thunderstorm supercell storms
mega earthquakes chaos collapses

Tornado Of Souls

This morning I made the call
The one that ends it all
Hanging up,i wanted to cry
But dammit,this wells gone dry
Not for the money,not for the fame
Not for the power,just no more games
But now Im safe in the eye of the tornado
I cant replace the lies,that let a 1000 days go
No more living trapped inside
In her way Ill surely die
In the eye of the tornado,blow me away
Youll grow to loathe my name
Youll hate me just the same
You wont need your breath
And soon youll meet your death
Not from the years,not from the use
Not from the tears,just self abuse
Whos to say,whats for me to say...be...do
Cause a big nothing itll be for me
The land of opportunity

Just Replace With A Piano

Rachael for weeks
many months wanted
her own baby sister.

She would
ask every day almost
when would
she have a baby sister.

Then late last weekend
to a new mall we went
explored floors twister.

There we found
a display promotional
new pianos for sale.

Rachael looked
listened sat played

Walk Through Hell

she's a needle,
and a spoon....
a loaded.45!

a tornado ripping
through a trailer park.
arsenic and bourbon,

cancer and skydiving....
she's a dark jungle,
fire, and quake!

she's a black pony
on the blackest of nights;
the sword, and the flesh....

the ditch, and the bones.
she's a burning cross,
and the last door knock....

Now I know what is wasting!

Flowing away the water
Clueless was the river
You came as a dyke
And held………
Which gave the meaning of
Flowing ………
Now I flow,
Now I blow
Like a wind
Like a water in the river
Now I know what is wasting ……!

Lots of things polluting the air
Big clueless was the nature
You came as a rain
And washed away…..
Which gave the meaning of
Purity and holiness ……
Now I am holy
Now I am pure …

Most Of What I Have Is

Anger, bull anger, dragon anger
Tiger anger,
Strong anger of twisters,

For the one I truly and truly love,

The desert and the volcanic ash
The ungiving, the unyielding

It is like,
A dead pond

Murky, brackish water,
It is the dwelling of
A porcupine-fish, just that,
It does not even swim
Or tried learning the art
Of swimming

It is my pain

Claim For Fame

The journey is brutal when you arrive nowhere
striving for unsaid perfection.
Life drips. Your wounds snap the love.
A tale becomes a twister.
Between the blinds is buried, the window. In dark
a depression fills the room.
The untethered loneliness.

Fearing from self.
A time to become insane without anchorage.
My ruined book becomes a home for spiders.
Bewildered dreams rise like vampires from the skull.
I will not mourn the body.
The spirit walks like the white light.

It was a thwarted desire, to die empty-handed
beside the troubled mind.
Was there a path to truth?
Being, what lies are?
The soul rustling the shadows of mortal thoughts.

Gratitude

Lifes been so good to me
Has it been good to you
Has it been everything
That you expected it to be
Was it as good for you
As it was good for me
And was it everything
That it was all set up to be
(now is that gratitude)
Now is that gratitude
Or is it really love
Some kind of reality
That fits just like a glove
Now is that gratitude
For everything Ive done
Or is it something else
Thats got me on the run
In the middle of a big tornado
On the tip of everyones tongue
In the belly of a giant whale

War And Feathers

Between eyes and tears
you swim back to me on flames.
The little candles are going to take revenge.

Do not mean any insult to moon.
My stars were trembling
to reach the vanishing whole.

The cabbage blooms with
violets. Do you mind if I pick
up the pomegranates?

There was a curse against
the temple. The god was thrown
in the lake when tornado came.

Take out the thorn from
your foot. You have reached
the graveyard of unknowns.

Tornado Warning

The birds screeching
The tires turning
There's going to be a tornado
Here comes the warning

Don't run
Don't sream
Just stay in your house
Don't let the cat's out

You shouldn't drive a car
Or walk on the street
Just stay in your house
And try get some sleep

With all the noise
And the wind
Are you crazy
Look at my bill

Cremation

Well the coal black sea waits for me me me
The coal black sea waits forever
The waves hit the shore
Crying more more more
But the coal black sea waits forever
The tornados come up the coast they run
Hurricanes rip the sky forever
Through the weathers change
the sea remains the same
The coal black sea waits forever
There are ashes split through collective guilt
People rest at sea forever
Since they burnt you up
Collect you in a cup
For you the coal black sea has no terror
Will your ashes float like some foreign boat
or will they sink absorbed forever
Will the Atlantic Coast
have its final boast
Nothing else contained you ever

Cremation - Ashes To Ashes

Well the coal-black sea waits for me-me-me
The coal-black sea waits forever
The waves hit the shore, crying more-more-more
But the coal-black sea waits forever
The tornados come up the coast they run
Hurricanes rip the sky forever
Through the weathers change, the sea remains the same
The coal-black sea waits forever
There are ashes split through collective guilt
People rest at sea forever
Since they burnt you up, collect you in a cup
For you the coal-black sea has no terror
Will your ashes float like some foreign boat
Or will they sink absorbed forever
Will the atlantic coast, have its final boast
Nothing else contained you ever
Now the coal-black sea waits for me-me-me
The coal-black sea waits forever
When I leave this joint at some further point
The same coal-black sea will it be waiting

Darken In Me

Swimming waves of tunder
Colors twist through wind
goes around like lightening
torn through tornado
Winds living above me
Swing right to left around
We go storms around me
Walked in the middle of them
Cause town flying throws at me
Ice freeze blews squeeze me tight
Grass eat winds between me
Color gone black darken
Sprikes lightening the ground
Flowing through me to my mind
Falling to the ground
Dying slowly
While the storm pass
Storms me away

Humans Being

Humans being
(off the twister soundtrack)
There is just enough christ in me
To make me feel almost guilty
Is that why God made us breed
To make us see were humans being
You break this, Ill break all that
You break my balls with all your crap
Spread your disease like lemmings breeding
Thats what makes us humans being
Shine on, shine on
Shine on, shine on
Some low life flat head scum infects
The sickness in his eyes reflects
You wonder why your life is screaming
Wonder why were humans being
Shine on, shine on
Shine on, shine on
Humans
Humans being

Bright Lights, Pink Car

Tornado rush of luminescence
Happiness is hard to find
Unless you've got a sweet new Kia
Then you're sitting inside.
It's got power steering and power locks
Power wheels and power shocks
A horn that makes the mountains move
It's a spacious hatchback too.

Cruising around the county roads
I turn on the brights.
I can see for miles
In these blue halogen lights.
When the speedometer passes sixty
I buckle my seat belt.
God bless the South Koreans
This is the best I ever felt.

Beach Comber

In the old days I turned your windmills to make your flour,
now I turn them and give you some of my power.
Sweeping across the sand, soil and stone,
anger me and I may shake your home,
in hurricanes and tornados I show my might,
as lightning brightens up the night,
I kiss the clouds and they cry their tears.
Through the dales I call my name but no one hears,
down your chimney I whistle my tune,
blowing your papers around the room,
sometimes I am cold, creating a drafty chill,
by creeping under your door or cracks in the windowsill.

In the sky I do walk, whisper and whirl,
even if my path does twist, turn and twirl.
I am stirring the air, blowing free,
so why do you always see me as an enemy,
I know I can howl like a freak,
but I can also softly brush your cheek,
I may seem so alive and I can almost die,

Shared

Blood to the boil, coils the venom to heat with ice -
Dark is the cloud to break thunder in my mind -
The blade to my throat, by my hand -
Harm not to harm ohers, alarmed by what I cast onto myself -
The tornado formed by the light,
breAth to a breeze -
Violence erupts, my soul is for no demon to seize -
Holy can only be, by the living of the unholy -
In the between is the phase of the living -
Shared by our race -
The human race -
Not to the lost -
Not at any cost

Sad and Happy

Sadness crashed into my life
Like a tornado with no warning
When Christmas rolls around
And my whole family isn't there
Sadness works its way deep into my thoughts
Like a bitter piece if sugarless candy seeping into my tongue
When memories of what little I can remember from the divorce
Creep into my dreams, stealing my relaxation
And turning it into a restless night
But I have to keep in mind, happiness is just a smile away
And with that smile, my life becomes joyous again

The Wind.

Who has seen the wind?
Of course, neither you nor I!
It's weak or strong
No body sees its appearance

Who has seen the wind?
Of course, neither I nor you!
Only feel trees are shaking,
I know the wind is passing through.

There are some winds called typhoon.
The residents are afraid when it's coming.
People most fear about the tornados mostly.
Everything’s being terribly pulled up to the sky.

It brings three days raining if a typhoon passed.
Therefore I don’t think they are too hateful.
There will be some affection when wind is coming.
It may bring us happiness or sadness.

Passions Ablaze

Cascading waterfalls caress my body and skin
Drops of water evaporate without trace within
Slumbering heat surfaces slowly and burning
Like a rumbling volcano an eruption it's yearning

Suppressed explosions become a current threat
While whispered words induce hot sticky sweat
Trembling voices make promises hard to keep later
Intentions declared obviously not needing a translator

Frank collisions are powerful with purpose and aim
Wanting everything that's offered without restrain
Flooding emotions run over without reason to control
Dancing on hot coals prolonging the inevitable goal

Playfully braking on a steep icy road going downhill
Bathing in blood with Piranhas showing an iron will
Moist rainbows shatter the great powers of thunder
While embracing the universe trying not to go under
