Longing the curse of Human Satisfaction I clear my throat Remembering the madness of a storming boat The whipping winds Introduced a chaos That infinity even had to question Correcting confidences like a teacher would the troublemaker Insanity rides high, Protecting itself from women That they thought they knew at the time But soon discovered They wouldn't even lend'em a dime I lost track of something way back when But now see that I was never young Just not strong enough to grip the gun Forgetful through shallow puddles of dampening and soggy Love I try to structure these thoughts But only produce Ashy white doves For the fire inside all of us is burning hard and eternal There is no hope that can forever float So in these times after alabaster marble shiners And politicians pinching pennies naked in front of camera's A policemen whispers to a friend he hates the leader And soon is bludgeoned and branded a freak Forever dead dreams in a child's mind is the place I wish to be Away from the hanging school halls Away from the broken bottle battalions A place directed towards indirectness Where mystery lightly grips its boot heels Ready to flee at any chance given to thee Startling laughter rests in the ears of men un-hearing Obsessed pig tail wearing women Upset the gifted girl a la two first names Swinging herself madly and wildly With words she herself cannot even understand or control But Oh the traces of mastery and genius with clouded perceptions Of shadows contemplating Aristotle easily For the barman is asking for the tab now And the lonesome nights I knew before Still await me once again As the same dead knights rest in books On high ancient shelves In dusty far away nooks
