Freeing the Mind and Defining the Body
Dive into the lost aspects of your mind and soul.
Horses gallop on my heart
As I walk my way to your door
Nerves tingle in my fingers
Making things I touch singe more
I’m a walking fire lit
Catastrophe on the way
It isn’t until I see your face
That my monsters hide at bay
Take me in your arms
Comfort, to bring my fire down
Shove away the real me
To somewhere she can’t be found
Candles blown
Ashes skewed
Birthday cake
Another new moon
Driver here
Passenger there
We may be strangers
In the next Nowhere
Don’t fret
the rivulet
of not so kind words.
Do forget
the onset
of all needed unheard.
Don’t cry,
let tears run dry,
so you can finally let be.
Do try
to live not die,
so you can finally be free.
Brutal is the monster who doesn’t even know my name.
The man who devoured me.
Ate away my soul.
Day after day.
Only for loving you.
My soul is reoccurring
Reborn every winter after death
New body, new depth, new life
Perennial I roam
Are you weary of me?
As I am weary of you?
This back and forth between us.
This unanswered truth.
Are you tired of our dancing?
Of our fluttering lies.
Is this us trying to protect ourselves,
With masks of shamed disguise?
Meeting you in the bookstore
I want to know what’s in your mind
All the places you’ve been
All the worlds loved combined
Show me in words
In conversations so deep
Sitting, opening the pages
We can be entwined underneath
Free the halo
On top of your head
Toss it in the ocean
Blue-gold copper tends
Tends to the waves
Glittering in view
An ocean full of halos
New starlight sky unglued
Prepare for my obeisant homage
All written down for you
Words display the respect I relay
Ink swirled in love dancing true
Guide my luck
Bury my faith
For if I think for a minute
I surely will break.
Fear in me rising
Nightmares need drowned.
Got to keep going
A risk can’t be found.
