Take a bite --

Take a bite of fortitude.
Everything exists to become
something else --
even her love
even your dreams
even those dandelions
whose blowballs will fly thru
that political polluted city --
slip thruu the turbulent
confusions
of mankind
& find the beautiful savanna
where they’ll laugh again
where they’ll
spread their wings again
where they’ll live thru again
to this side.

Peace doesn’t always mean
something good.
I’ve seen different kinda peace
some are worse than wars.

I was young & free
when the clouds were young
as well
but I aged sooner.
They still float
while I fall
thruu time
Women,
Family,
Bills,
&
Lastly
Jobs?
(Maybe tomorrow…)

Day
by
day…

I barely remember
what it felt like
to fly.

Oh clouds & I

Some things are too pure
human to pull into
the gutter of the mind.

He’d rather put a bullet
thru his temple
than undress her
with those filthy eyes.

some women
you drink with.
&
Some
you just die for.

Fair, fair maiden ~
 apart from the herd you keep
Tho’ I’ve not heard your voice
 Still Thy love sings deep.

Fair, fair maiden ~
 apart from the herd you keep
I stand upon the edge of beauty
 But tremble on the steep.

A long long
 Cursed road winds upward
Lord forgive me!
 I dare not leap.

Fair fair maiden ~
 apart from the herd you keep
I know not
 if you know my name
But I do know yours
What a beautiful name!
Oh
Your precious
love & care are all I aim.

Fair, fair maiden ~
 apart from the herd you keep!
Tho’ I’ve not heard your voice
 Still Thy love sings deep.

Quit that circus a year ago
Wrong crowd
Wrong current

You’ll share
they’ll skip

Their expression?
"Too easy."

Perception?
a whole diff multiverse.

stance?
Well subjective !!

Socialized ?
That's boring

quiet //
Sharp &
Critical.

Still
fine to play the clown for a crowd
but never for you.
~~
Just for them

We're blind mutts
until we're desperate.

******* in the water
until we're lost in the desert.
