It's been so long since I put pen to paper
Told the tales of my latest greatest caper
Road the rails wherever, climbed a skyscraper
Sailed into the wind or turned into vapor

I dream of love as I sail the seas
seeking loves shelter finding no peace
battered and torn doing as I please
if love is a sickness I want that disease

Once planted thoughts grow.
Some becomes dreams,
some become visions of greatness.
Some transcend the barriers of reason
eluding logic,
sidestepping rationality,
Becoming living entities.
and building worlds around them.

Life was simpler in times antebellum
now volumes take ****** to cope.
As the tick tocking of the pendulum,
curriculums of war, leaves us without hope.

You can take what I say “*** grano salis”
simply pabulum for thought you see.
From my inner most sanctum, I tell you this,
it matters not what you think about me.

So lead with your best take a shot on a lark
Forever is closing in fast
If your lucky your thoughts may flicker and spark
Then come to fruition at last

Blinded by brilliant displays of illusion
like painted windows peering into emptiness
as a mind unfurls in the expanses of eternity

Chattering along a path to inner freedom
As dandelions float on wisps of thought
gently rocking paradoxical lives of leisure

While the intentions of a charismatic dream
drift quietly down to where shadows meet in darkness
at high noon on soap boxes to mourn the setting sun

Ambiguity buried behind a veil of mindlessness
erupting from a frenzied denial of truth, slapped in the faces
of the holier than thou as they pray for lost souls

Living within self inspired comas of deception
where vague truths knock daily on open doors
that lead to nothingness, where no one's home
