Already Antiquated

You’ve got fuel for this fodder
Not a Day you don’t pour it on
Pyromaniac old man, you are
I can fly and soar
I can glow and burn
On my own just fine, thank you

Upstairs Downstairs

I reached
Told you what you couldn’t hear
Scarred you are and far from me

Far too far from me

And I, I fear
Saturated
Society’s lies

The Plan

Posted on September 6, 2018 by Lisa Rosier

I suppose that you are made of stealth pilot stuff
You see me as commanding from strong eagle wing
I’ll prove how your heart is stronger for its freefall
You affirm my pain-filled flight has not stolen hope

Our actions, absent
Our language, lacking goodness
Why do we not care?

Am Loved

Posted on September 1, 2018 by Lisa Rosier

I am at rest there
In that small space
That dazzling place
Away
The rest of the world
Keep your small-talk
Your Earth-bound walk
Away

Young man, when I’m old
If I’ve lost the key
Please help my heart to enter in

Remember for me, if I’ve forgotten
What we’ve built
What we’ve saved from the fire

Tell how death brought forth life
On our paths that diverged
How we’re found together again

Happy

I Stayed
Scrolling Up and Up and Up
This Time
And what Emerged, but a Proclamation!
The Heavens Themselves
Summoned and Summoners
Attendees and Attendants
Happy and One and All

Forgone

What to do
When love’s thrown at you with far, far, far less passion
Far less intent, than graffiti at a cinder block wall
Survive

Then come the wolves
One is all it takes to take you down, down, way, way down
To take your will, and leave you still with skin stone cold
Survive?

Why, Sir

Why, Sir

Why old McCartney songs
Relic-era assertions, Sir?
Things take forever because we think we have forever to take

Why glamorize the road
Set it to melody, why?
It’s truly just too long, too winding and leads to lonely doors
