Find me
Take my six
Turn me around
Tell me straight
Stare me down
Stand with me
Hold me
Breathe for me
Love me
Fight for me

#thisjourneyofdays
I'm don't think I'm a diamond,
but I'm certainly the rough.
The bits of me you chew on might be tender, might be tough.
My wants and needs are simple,
but I'm not a simple man,

If only you could step inside,
I'd show you hope and promised lands.

They won't be filled with milk and honey,
but maple syrup should do;
as I cook some love and pancakes,  
then I'll lay it out for you.
Lay with me in moonlight,
and I'll take your breath and moan.
Come morning we'll be laughing at the future times unknown.

My wants and needs are simple,
but I'm not a simple man.

I only want to show you warmth,
so discard fear and take my hand.
all I gain is clarity from the clouds
while adding more weight to my inertia
disordered thoughts only form orderly mounds
in order to confound the pin searcher
i know i can find my needle
if only i could find my haystack
His strategy has heart in it
Imbued with a just and compassionate spirit
Putting all at the heart of his endeavour
To ward off the ominous, evil weather
That doth the truest path inhibit

Love conquers all, as Shakespeare said
A truth to bring life to the dead
Who have the spell of evil read
Around them the sublime hippie treads

Weaving souls together with magic threads
Their awakening the evil dreads
But minds will open, hearts will see
Mouths will speak, we will be free
The 5000 fed with a loaf of bread
Have you gone where I've been?

Took the time to walk through the treasures of your mind,
like a gypsy in a junkyard.

Seen the tears and still indulged,
Smelled the blood and
made sure it wasn't your own.
Had it all and gave it away.

Do you close your eyes and
see images of the best of times.
Only to awake to the horror that is this.

Are you consoled in knowing
that she drinks with the GODS
as you battle with the believers.

Are you ready for the illusion to end?
Is there a method to your punishment?

Walk beside all of this,
Hand in injured hand
with all of this.

Do you feel that tingling
as you create me?

I've been here the whole time.
You were never alone.

This is why you are here,
this is why you have suffered.
This is what they need to see.

If not for you, do it for me.
