i remember
when we were younger
& you'd scrape into your arms
searching for bones or soul or something more
than what you thought you had inside
& i would lie about my life
to get you to look into my eyes
but neither ever worked for us
lost causes in the search for trust
& you used to walk with your arms crossed
to make another layer to your heart
or better yet a barrier to keep the two of us apart
& that barrier you learned to build
worked better than the beer & pills
& **** & coke & ecstasy i put between you & me
because i guess we were just afraid
of the weight behind that sacred phrase:
to be in the heavy hand of love's command
& that ambulance that tried to rinse
the toxins from my coughing valves
as you got a ticket coming quickly
to see the extent of my crippled kidneys
i wonder if you understand
i just wanted you to miss me...
& all those many many arguments
so drunk, frustrated & intense
those glass-punching pancake conflicts
a competition with no confidence
that i laugh about now that things are different
now that you've forgotten my existence
& i've gotten used to this division
but at least now i know it's true
i don't think i'll get over you
until my lips are cold & blue

I have a baby brother
He's got a love right & true
He's got a love like a honeymoon

Roses are red violets are blue
Remember way back when , when patience had a hold of me ?  
I remember how I drove you insane when I used go fast
Well, boys being boys , I always wanted to be the first one to get to the finish line.
Like driving a brand new automobile ,
Selflessly always thought I was the only one on the road. Taking advantage of the situation, burning rubber and left you in the dust.
Could never understood why you wouldn’t chased after me
To emerge and merge with the motion of the moment
Why it took you so long to catch up with the waves of the motion .
Could Never understood  why you wouldn’t leap forward, as I travel across the stars,  the moon , the whole universe as I chanted in tongue
Girl lol  I remember the sour on your face but I never understood your reason before more of the great unknown becomes known. For it reveals a new understanding deepening the range of clarity. expanding scope and the warmest mystery. Now vow to ignite the guiding light of passion in a moderate submission while gazing into one another
Now as I accept my invitation to welcome the full scope of the landscape . Now I swear , pledge to appreciate and love the motion of a steady ***** prolonging ride
Now I pledge to love and accept the importance of time as I enjoy a little longer the magic in the mirror, listen to your whisper in the wind, feel your rain upon my skin and become one with the heat of the road as we enjoy the allure of all the butterflies when the roads finally merge and arrive simultaneously at the end of the rainbow. like the hands of time as the cuckoo clock sings another favorite midnight song, roses are red , violets are blue
Girl you’ve always been my favorite song when we arrived at midnight …… I only wish I could   Stop the hand of time and park here forevermore!
