Truth and Lie
competed in an
around the world
race.
Lie completed the race
even before
Truth had put his shoes on.

She puts a smile on my face
Every day I'm so in love with you
Every day,
As I hold her in my arms
And we listen to my heart
Beat for you because
I Love You every day..
I Love Her ❤️

The words flow as she
waited for him to see
the rainbow at the end
through this storm
of your mind that washes
it's agony over you.

It aches and pains but
they dry up with time.
Yet you take the leap
into the oblivion.

My lashes get heavy
with tears as you
go on letting the storm
make you bleed yourself away.

As I invoke for your bright
permanent and banish
your temporary.

Your mind is your slave,
that ought to lead you
in the storm,not
to banish you.

Heed my words for thyself,
and let the doors of
enlightenment unbolt
for you.
Don't take such a permanent solution for a temporary problem.

what if a bomb drops
comes whistling
waging, burning, busting

and everything gets blown away

before you can peek your head
through that chipped white door –
turn that dumb, stuck ****
come home to me
and call me your wife?

I don't think about it

*****'s got the window open
letting her arm get soaked
with each bomb, fat raindrop
expecting to hit Sandy Ridge Road
but rolls down the skin
of her idle hand instead

her eyes are stuck outside
looking at anything but him,

the cigarette occupying his lips
the screaming, mountain-dew-yellow of his shirt

wondering where she and he and they and them
and whoever will go after this

I don't think about it

me after you, you after I
anything in-between
if we come falling
like big bombs of raindrops

scatter into feathers
like those sparrows sold two farthings

God says He sees
tell me not to worry

tell me not to think about it
it doesn't really matter
you know what's real
burning on your fingers
you know how to feel

I've been slipping lately
oh, I've been slipping lately
