their eyes fixed, wandering about the future
here, they close them to the astounding present silent, seeing the things they can never change their minds heave, stressing their cranial sutures the inexhaustible source of energy: run dry a week's worth of stimuli leach and siphon a week's worth of headaches crush and distract the unavoidable gift of starry fate: unkind a bending reed succumbs to the gusty wind focus split eight ways like the hydra overflowing plate stalls freedom; movement weakened walls shake the house from within the camel, broken upon the redwood's trunk passed over by a three-hundred pound gorilla riding atop an elephant, looking for room egress, get off the boat before she's sunk misunderstandings beget misinterpretations king james mediates relationships; confuses as solomon's temple burns to ashes; smolders preconceptions breeding predestinations olive branches chewed and crunched angrily reconciliation: dead weight; wasteful recapitulation: mirage; shimmering in the sun second chances eschewed and broken hastily sore feelings need a breather, stay calm flowers bloom in a heliotropic hunger for hope the soured room: semi-toxic, needing sage smoked word's meaning lost in the ether, gone as though i were blind, show me the way
make believe im lost, don't let me forget take yours, my hand; walk with me tonight footprints of fire; the past burned away hoodwinked i walk, with you my eyes, useless your hips, my anchor; my guiding light what were not for my love, i would stumble guard me from reason; oh, reason, so ruthless show me the beauty, the truth; our life as if i were starving, nourish my soul point the way and i will walk without thought your thoughts, desires, and hopes: my eyes when the world caves in and my senses flee your strength reassures; wisdom soothes as long as i know and as long as i feel you ill swim forever in the deepest of seas |
