Buoy the population of the soul
Toward their destination before they drown

Desire - Ryan Adams



Two hearts fading, like a flower. And all this waiting, for the power. For some answer, to this fire. Sinking slowly. The water’s higher. Desire

With no secrets. No obsession. This time I'm speeding with no direction. Without a reason. What is this fire? Burning slowly. My one and only. Desire

You know me. You don't mind waiting. You just can't show me, but God I'm praying, That you'll find me, and that you'll see me, That you run and never tire. Desire


From the album "Demolition". Another must listen track is Dear Chicago:

"Dear Chicago, You'll never guess. You know the girl you said I'd meet someday? Well, I've got something to confess. She picked me up on Friday. Asked me if she reminded me of you. I just laughed and lit a cigarette, Said "that's impossible to do." My life's gotten simple since. And it fluctuates so much. Happy and sad and back again. I'm not crying out to much. Think about you all the time. It's strange and hard to deal. Think about you lying there."

Run buy this one!

Rent - Jane Cooper



If you want my apartment, sleep in it but let's have a clear understanding: the books are still free agents.

If the rocking chair's arms surround you they can also let you go, they can shape the air like a body.

I don't want your rent, I want a radiance of attention like the candle's flame when we eat,

I mean a kind of awe attending the spaces between us--- Not a roof but a field of stars.

Am putting this poem in the Big Book because it reminded me of a time when my attention wasn't like "the candle's flame when we eat"

Some disconnected lines



With the coming of the imminent darkness, all these days sins commited in light would be forgiven.

My shadow lengthens on the wall, in an attempt to mask my lies and help me forget.

My body might be a poorly written poem, however it can't be edited without me hoping to remain me.

There are too many love songs in the world so to balance them in weigth, I shape my agnst by hurling it into strangely shaped pots and put them in lines to dry at these red shot windows.

I wanted to stay (away?), I wanted to be silent, I want to turn down everything that was making- music: guitars, violins, drums, cymbals, birds before I discovered that my sad little heart is also a player in our mad orchestra.

Given that I placed the speakers way behind the screen, the sound is hidden by sight, always, so close your eyes close your eyes and look! how the sound coming at you as a speeding motorcycle powered by my beating pulse.

No more masks, let me undress, first my shirt goes, then my pants, then my underwear that you found funny, then my glasses, then my skin, then the bone under the skin Now don't be suprised when you see this body turning into air.
