he’s my misery and ecstasy
all at once
one look takes me back
to those pure days
of innocence and simple love
between two friends

an elixir brewing
love strikes
a flame appears
burning so bright
as it was metamorphic
showing the little village people
that within the volcano was a home

moving my whole body
to the sway of the beat
thump. thump. thump.
booms my heart
erratic and exotic
full of culture

here I go clicking my heels
twice
and flying free
away from the disastrous chaos
and all the bliss
floating gently in the sky
and if I were to try to attain it
it would refuse me
just to say that freedom isn’t an entitlement
to have and keep and store away
you must respect it to earn it

your vindictive glare
clenched jaw ready to eat
show fear
the power you wanted
was around the bend
truth is
you are just scared
of being you
being raw
being open
being loved

wild thang
shake the world from it’s fake prophecies
being told to be a creature of God’s kind
to be prim and proper
not someone who
appreciates their individuality
you’re the change
thanks to you
i liven up my own stage

i feel stranded
in your artificial home
everything in place
picture perfect realm
with that half and half
heaven and hell
reckoning cotton candy skies
and clouds that cry
meltdowns raining
all that we call life
