How Wild?

Dear Teresa,

With the luscious thighs
Big eyes
And gap toothed Madonna smile

I've started praying again

I'm in a new room
I can't see the walls or ceiling
But it's bigger
I got a new key cut

Like I said I've started praying again
Not like in boys school
Full of cabinets you don't want to open
But something deeper

I pray for less stress
More peace
Happiness

I feel the sides of the ship
Turning
With my hand and elbow


How wild are these hearts?
What science are they made of?
Is this a start to ending the wars on Earth?

I pray for less stress
More peace
Happiness

Maybe I'm naive
Living within the means given me
A boy ******* his mother's ****
But we're all awake aren't we?
And I know I have a strength untapped


I pray for less stress
More peace
Happiness

Teresa came into the coffee shop
With a baby and the same smile
Still wild

God
I know you provide in this life of mine
This path

I don't know if you're name's Abraham
Whether you're black white green yellow or blue
But it's true

**** said, not everything you want
But what you need

I believe

Thankyou

Thankyou for my life too

New words

I pray you come
From wherever you come
On music
On waves
Who is to say?

All I can do is prepare and be ready

The cat ate the letter b
On my keyboard
What can I be without the letter b?

We'll see

The point of inflection
The knife edge
For or against

The young genius was right
Sort this
And you'll be good

That's where I am

For so long I wanted to be a kind of saviour
But I'm the one who needs saving
And I'm the only one to do it

That monstrous sound outside
I thought it was a psychopath
Imitating a metal crow
But it was a morning handyman

The point of inflection
The knife edge
For or against

The young genius was right
Sort this
And you'll be good

I can't tell another lie
My teeth will fall out

Apologies to anyone who has waited up

But I have to get myself out of this for me

And to all those dreams
I let go


I can't tell another lie

I'm as low as the road
Listening to approaching cars
That don't come
That don't go

Time moves so fast

I can't tell another lie


I'll collect my thoughts
My sounds and ideas
I'll send them out
So that you can hear

I love the buzz

There are so many pictures
I stick to my screen
They cloud my mind with need

I need to get free
To get off on myself

I can't tell another lie

I'm moving slow
Re-charging
In a world moving so fast
Sirens in the distance
The calm sunset over a busy city

Give me the empty box
Then we can start somewhere
James Daniel Jul 2024
I've cordoned off the carpark.
I prowl it like a mad dog.
But when that dog sleeps
You could rub your hand along its teeth.

It's a mad setting.
But it's emotion.

Maybe I should move around a little
Give it a little slack.

But this is my currency.
And I guess I should not be insecure about going broke

Cos no matter where the world goes
It will always be there

Or I'll have to train to fight electronic dogs.
