sal carter - Shaking, Shaking

First breath
And it hits you
Shivers down your body
Through the bones
- the skin
- the muscle
shaking, shaking.
rushing through the blood,
setting fire to your veins.
Like some tribal spirit
Burning through the body.

Inside the skull,
Colours swirl, twist, dive.
A kaleidoDope of a thousand worlds multiplied.
Each more real.
Each smelling, tasting, feeling.
Senses un-Paralleled

Lip quivers like a arrow in flight
- try to talk, shaking, shaking,
- try to smile, shaking shaking.
- try to walk and you will fall
- try to cry and it all comes flowing out
lost, lost.

In a world so glowing,
Life multiplied
Time multiplied.

Now, the sun is burning
Now, the children laugh
Now, mothers smile
Now, tree’s hum
Now, the earth is real
- alive


Slowly fades back to grey
To smoke and fumes
To death and time
The celestial floats away
Slowly, slowly.
Reach out,
but you’ll never feel again
hangs in front of you like a cloud
calling you on
but you cant touch it.
the memory drags you by the mind
calling, calling.
try, try, try.
But its gone,
And the lack pulls you on.
Calling, calling.

This is your life
This was your world
This is your death
This was your earth

Try, try, try,
But you’ll never grab it..
Limbo,
But you’ll never touch it.
This is now the feeling
Of no feeling.
Shaking, shaking.
