#handshake
A body is sovereignty.
Everybody is their own majesty.
All good royalty has council.
As proud as I am to be
KING
I am much more honored to receive
guidance of grand magnitude. My friends
are sagacious, sharing grace.
As for the council I give, I say unto my friends:
If you find any essence of good in me squeeze out every last drop.
Use is ecstasy.

We have the look of another place.
The rain forest dries to deepest desert
where meat is on special.
Politeness grips my hand
in a firm shake.

You're right.
The world's not black anymore.
But it's still looking grey.
Okay.
It isn't night anymore.
But it surely isn't day.
The world isn't upside down anymore.
But I'm still not looking straight.
The door isn't locked up tight anymore.
But it's still a locked up gate.
I might not be standing still anymore,
But I'm still not ready to run.
My finger isn't on the trigger anymore.
But I haven't put down my gun.
You may not see me cry anymore.
But you still don't see me grin.
No, I'm not shutting you out anymore.
But I'm still not letting you in.
I'm shaking hands with the darkness.
And I'm shaking hands with the light.
But I can't let go of either,
Or they'll see each other and fight.
Don't assume that
Because I don't sink anymore,
That I must be flying.
Just because I'm not dead anymore,
Doesn't mean that I'm not dying.

Chaos is brewed and entwined in my psyche
For when I restrain it,I fail to be free
For when you suffocates it, I die solely
I offered my compartments, the evil, the good
I offered my solace,goodness and madness
All uncensored on the bitter sweet console
But it tainted your soul, made you ooze blood
Thanks for your extended handshake of peace
I gently received it as it sailed through my ails

I have tried too many times
reaching out my hand with no kind returns
pulling back my hand to find
just broken fingers, scars, and burns

They are everywhere
Came to the party uninvited
and stayed well past "?"
I caught one, my last night
in Florida
It didn't want to let go
An ornament on my finger
I said
"Nice to meet you."

We shook hands.
To say hello.
We shared a kiss.
To say goodnight.
