Desert Dog


Lying in the sun like a desert dog;
I have a glass in one hand and my lover in the other.
Hand in hand we lie here, telling truths under the sun.
So peaceful here, like it has been for years;
How things change with time, but never my lover.


She remains at the very centre of my gargantuan heart;
She has always been here and I hope here she stays.
Her words are like flames that caress my soul in the dark.
We have no need for words in this moment,
Because we are happy here, at a quarter to midday.
Summer is still my favourite time;
I hate the cold, I love this love life!


Broken into pieces are the daydreams of peace that I had;
I said what I said, there ain’t no turning back.
Live a life so full of regrets;
Never do a single thing that I have ever said.
Procrastinate, every single day;
Everything I say is only ever said in jest.


“Less is more”; her smile has disappeared from her face.
We are no longer laughing together because of our liquid state.
I will have to sell my soul to her, to pave the way,
To healing her mood and seeing her smile once again.


Burning in the sun over there is a memory,
I lost a vital piece of my empathy.
Love could die, given enough time;
Lest we forget that it is all on the line.


So passionate about her, but so drunk on stupidity.
She is the one who I love; now she will not speak to me.
No melody can exist inside this mind,
Without her to assemble,
These jagged edged pieces of a damaged rhyme.
Put us back together with a happier time…

I spilt her wine…
And Everything…
Is not…
Alright.
