Right around midnight the rain dropped,
The water painted the pavement with street lights and fluorescent hotel signs.

Thick air rose from the summer heat ground,
Slowing down the this way and that way late night left overs of the sun soaked day.  Dashing from bars and gas stations or slipping down the boulevard protected by polka dot umbrellas.

White light counts in the righteous  thunder as it bellows over expensive apartment buildings
1..2..3..4.. CRASH

The aroma of a wet city breaks my concentration, all I can do is breathe and watch and wonder.
Every drop of rain makes an impression and I appreciate them all.  

Natures impromptu multi media arts extravaganza,
Free admittance as long as you don't mind getting wet

The thankful eat what they can,
The never enoughs send back every plate

People need people

Masters need servants

Servants don't need masters

The wants have because they have wants,
Beggars can't choose but they don't choose to beg

Half hearted
At least it keeps a beat
I miss your mannerisms and streetwise feet

Thankful to be thankful at least we have a lead
Pointing north or nowhere it's our choice to perceive

Walk on sand turning to rock
Rock to land a grass to frolick in

Thankful for the chance to have this dance I'd let you go if you promise to come back

Don't define yourself with your own mind let the season persuade you to keep god on your side

Sit with me in this undulating sea of concret and center of the continent tides

Roll with me in the green grass of waves that splash us by
never get us wet Say thanks to the Sidewalks and their separation from the street

I wanted to hold you babe you know it's true
But when I wanted to hold you
You never had a clue
Now you want my hand
I'd like to give it to you
But I met someone else and she knows me better than you do
Bad timing poor luck missed the bus got hit by a truck
Now we're at a cross roads neither of us is to blame
someday down the line maybe our drums will beat the same
Cause babe I wanted to hold you
Now you want the same
Always with someonelese now you know the burnin in my brain
There's time for dreaming missing out on life's ***** games
It was no fun seming like we were on the same page
The tables have turned darling new time clocks been set
I've always loved you don't worry that's not a threat

The queen in the castle wants to be like everyone else
Everyone wants to be the queen
Happiness can be bought
And frequently is by
the  normal people, the ones not fit for ruling.
Filling  their apartments with appointments
Building two room castles
TVs nightstands paintings books clothes china
Store bought elegance in place of gold plated mirrors and servants
The queen is confused that anyone would want to be her.  
Everyone else can't understand why she doesn't want to be queen

Help she cried but the sound never left her head
Shed grown Tired of living with the sleep walking dead
Her heart was in a different place than her body and her body didnt feel connected to her heard
Minutes counted in hours passing
Like a time elapsed flower blooming
The bottles went up the bottles went down
She couldn't stop the spin of the world so she laid on the ground
Woke in the morning with a burning and a cry but by the time she opened her mouth to say anything all that would come out was a sigh
Maybe tomorrow or the month after that her heart would be warm again instead of the solid sound of a heart rate gone flat

Locked in bed
stomach in my throat
Empty in my head
Prisoner to a parasite
Picked up on a late night
Throwing up nothing but wicked thoughts and forcing blood to the thin barrier of skin
A living sack keeping my life in
Though id rather it just let out give up give in fade from the sun and find eternal delight in knowing nothing and giving up on life
Not giving in, no suicide isnt an option, just a dream of dreaming eternal
Thinking would be over
Caring would be done
Wanting would be a memory
Needing would be a foreign feeling
It's an option and that's fine if it wasn't I'd feel trapped and really want to die
( I love life don't get me wrong, some days though could be skipped)
