to make you fall asleep like a bird in its nest, I’ll hold all the summer rains in my arms just for you I’ll carry all summer rains, I will carry them in my arms, like a heart on fire
On the white screen dance the stringed dots Mind spilled codes of hieroglyphic thoughts Slowly they emerge handholding lines Not always yielding intended designs. Something was brewing inside the head Coaxing to weave and take it ahead The drunken horses so wildly gallop There is no leash to make them stop. Nerves are taut and they won't relax Till all is vented they reach the ****** It was thus fated the moment it was sown What's to be grown could never be known. As the fever wanes arrives the new child It may be adored or it may be defiled The canvas is washed clean as in the rain Something is brewing to be vented again.
I have retired from temptations of attention. I’ve retired from the need to judge. I’ve retired from feeling like I need that moment, And I’ve retired from feeling too sad.
I have retired into a place of contemplation — A place nearby, and where I sit.
I have retired from feeling guilty, And I’ve retired from needing your yes.
What is that saying?! “All good things must come to an end.” Jehovah Jireh, You are never ending And, Your love knows no bounds. You are outside of time, And this world.
I hate when people tell me I talk too much. I send too many text And they can’t keep up.
At first they like it Because it feels nice. I help distract them From their life. But then it becomes old And I get in the way. Just another day And I have too much To say.
The stars giggle Drunk on the dust In the Milky Way They tip over Turning a fall into a dip When I squint I see you just like this Dancing at the end of a stick
I would like to say I wake up in the morning Refreshed and ready But I just squint through the light Pouring through my window Trying harder and harder to see you As you disappear
