"Consumed By Dark Matter"
In the deepest region of this undiscovered galaxy
Another dimension visited upon the frozen waste land
Amidst the most thought provoking images we chose to see
And yet Consumed By Dark Matter as the spirit is set free
Alpha requiem to John 1, are you on this frequency? Hello???
Alpha requiem to John 1, is there anyone there??
I am here, always in this part of the galaxy
We passed into the planetary exploration of an uncharted soul
Drawn closer by the manipulating sound waves we still create
Consumed By Dark Matter & the introspective concept of becoming
one Consumed By Dark Matter & the timeless deity that swallowed
the sun

"Reflective View"
Shall we plant the idea & converse with the soil from below?
There are no obstacles or any confusion & love is all we know
Who called the visionary bornless & selfish as the unseeing eye
Reflective View connecting with the tree of knowledge that makes
me sigh
No need to fear the reply of this magick essence which is finally near
Settle into your nesting place & crawl back into the calming light
We are now responding to the Reflective View & will forever love you
This is the Calming Horizon & the brilliant radiance of who we are
In complete harmony with the setting of the sun & the souls shining
star Relax, understand & breathe, I will never leave

"I Will Always Remember You"
The sweet things you called me & how it made me smile
I never thought you would leave this world before me...
Transformed into the Hummingbird, so now you can see
I Will Always Remember You & all the promises you gave
But you need to know May, it was you I wanted to save....
So I close my eyelids hoping sleep will come & you will appear
There by the cliffs & beyond the path to the lighthouse, I am here
Pleading to the ocean to give me strength so I do not disappear
I Will Always Remember You & how you said it is never goodbye
Remnants of soft words & a smile & the way you made me sigh

"Psychedelic Dreams"
Let us consume the exotic mushrooms & float through the waking themes And in the downfall of the negative trip & the wondrous Psychedelic Dreams Letting go of the negative baggage that
claims to overthrow the mind This is the beginning of the disillusioning constraint of the foolish & the blind Psychedelic
Dreams which come between the loving grace of those who are caring & kind
Listen, are those the echoes of the eternal dripping sounds of the deranged tear And if we could for once put away the hurtful words
that seemed to trap us in here Were you confused & abused by
the memories of things that should never really be Open the
minds & drop into Psychedelic Dreams & learn how the third eye came to see

The Charm

"The Charm"
Floating clouds that tell the story of the one you claimed in life
Perplexed by the hint of the inter dimensional door & a choice
Is this the changing expression from the beauty of The Charm
Forgotten tears already cast aside for the soul that finally died
Time slowly crept by with The Charm of the poet & his perpetual sigh
Have you met the one who held on forever & never once passed you
by And amidst the sweetest memories of the truest love you held in
your heart As you recall the romance & The Charm of the one who
loved you from the start

"When He Sleeps"
Caress the cheek of the slumbering poet who looked into the
mirror too long Is this the place where dreams once kissed my face,
is this where I belong? Release the final lullaby for the secret poet & When He Sleeps, don't let go If I have been shining too long feel free
to gently approach & let me know
When He Sleeps, whisper all the things into his ear that need to be
said When He Sleeps, capture the falling tears & calm this poet within
his bed And as you direct your gaze of light closer to me, never say goodbye The truth of all knowing, I could never let you go even if I had
to try

"Kissed By The Nebula"
I am here to announce the birth rite of the poet walking towards the
light How far is the path that leads to happiness said the boy who
shines too bright Are you beginning to understand the deeper wisdom
shown in this dream state But who was Kissed By The Nebula, the
poet's tear condemned by fate
These images weaving before me as we contemplate the truest love
we know You were Kissed By The Nebula, that waking voice that said
you could never go Just a subtle touch from the man child who held
on to all that he ever knew Such hypnotic words that remind the heart
of he who always loved you

"Amanita Muscaria"
Seen through the next dimension where colors guide us in
between Mentally ravaged by the overcoming splendor of this
vivid scene Speaking to the fungus as my eyes found the entry
to the door Amanita Muscaria & the language we hear no more
Those fumes that caught me & made me aware & showed the way
Bring me into the bright light of memory with the scent of a new day
Aaaaaaaaah, the taste of this purified wisdom of the mushroom I
chose to devour Amanita Muscaria has introduced another vision
& the image of the floating flower

"First Light"
John Shepherd: "Ah time, space is infinite"
Shane Beck:
'Stretch your hand out closer than you ever had before & just wait
Come tempt the fate of the gods you once denied as you enter this gate On the divided path near the cross roads you will find the heart you need to keep Cast your gaze of First Light upon the poet of this ceremony, you are mine to reap
Upon our final embrace you will remember much more than you choose to tell No more discussions of fake confusion, this is the Magus who traveled through hell See the layers of emotion opening up before the eyes that knew your every move Arrive before me &
fill my heart with peace & understand I have nothing to prove"
John Shepherd: "Ah time, space is infinite"

"Voices In The Mist"
Can you return to the maze constructed by the whispering
We seem to be living by the tune that promised us the world
I was never patient for the embrace that lived only in my dreams
And still I hear Voices In The Mist...just another story of the poet
who was once kissed
Breathless child living in a fantasy in order to cope with a mental pain
all too real What was it that never left my heart, just a sensitive soul I decided to reveal....
Too many Voices In The Mist crowding my mind with images I could
never deny And you hear the Voices In The Mist & in the end only you
ever really knew why

Bottle Of Dreams

"Bottle Of Dreams"
Have you seen the Genie that swore to grant wishes unto me
What once was so peaceful & calm has changed & you need to
see Out of the Bottle Of Dreams the Genie asked me if I felt free....
So I turn the page & hide my face so no one will know
If we could turn back time & maybe converse with the poetic flow
Bottle Of Dreams & the sweeping emotions that seem to guide
the way And those who pretend to understand or know me with nothing left to say But why did he take off his beard & suddenly shave his head, have you not heard a word I said? Bottle Of Dreams that become the soul's medication for the poet who still speaks to the dead.....

"Enter The Mind Of The Poet"
Give comfort & peace to the ghost which held you close
Beside the cloudless sky you were given entry & a secret
Enter The Mind Of The Poet who walked the path of unknowing
Recite the words & light the candles & awaken the sleepless soul
Enter The Mind Of The Poet as you gently stir me from the dream
Climb the mountain of wisdom & chosen secrets of purest delight
Enter The Mind Of The Poet as you peel away the confusion &
transcend with the blinding light

The Chosen Ones

|
"The Chosen Ones"
From the deepest thought which was compelling & so very true
The Chosen Ones who granted us the knowledge to make us wise
We were told to be strong & the tears reminded us of one love song
The Chosen Ones who dug beneath the soul & planted this thought
And yet we were mesmerized by the poet with bluest eyes
So keep walking the path of lonely desire & sweet gentle sighs
The Chosen Ones who remain with us forever, there are never
goodbyes

"This Ray Of Light"
There was a smile that released me so my knowing eyes could see
We were set apart from the ongoing dream that pleaded to be free
But in the days to come you saw the poets image burning bright
Taken in by the hope of truest love & This Ray Of Light
You were shown the eyes of passion & in truth you began to stare
Have you now finished this infinite love song, enough to say you care
Open your heart & deliver words of beauty before the end of this night
Knowing there is no shame in this purity or This Ray Of Light
