Sidetracked by the Riverside (Additional Audio)

by @SassyJ

Only yesterday that your glass blew The flame was burning untouchable The disk spinning fast, un-reversible No home in a town so inhospitable A world where questions are daft Drafted to unravel an inbuilt psyche I stand out in the jungle countryside Strumming listening to “wild world” Each rhythm a wavy walk on a path Steps and strolls always sidetracked The poppy field faded in sheen redness When it turned cold and bled sourness It was me who was left by the riverside I sat by the bank and dreamed away Then viewed my mirrored reflection Melted in indecisions and intricacies Extreme ongoing cognition appraisals Silenced in the sound of the stillness The flash of the grassed field called me Embraced me as I paraded on the verge A resolving embrace of a stab erased I plead not to be understood or wanted For these riffles are fixated on our heads Bolted in our thoughts, wants and desires
