"mojos" poems
Robert Johnson went to the crossroads
And fell down on his knees
The wolf was howlin' at midnight
McKinley Morganfield stirred the muddy waters
Singing of hoochie ******* men and mojos
Right back to Charlie Patton and Son House
And Blind Lemon Jefferson too
Men from the land of cotton, corn liquor and jukes
Always travelling hard and hard driven
Playing hard and hard living
These men who became legends
Who touched the deepest part of souls
With their elemental music
And they still do

We met in the most unexpected time with the most unexpected reason
Two unstable soul that are both sailing the sea of sorrow and pain
I saw how you crash along with the waves of uncertainty
And you witnessed how i break down trying my best to stay sane
I love the way you breathe...
Like a fragile glass longing for care
You show me your vulnerability
Your fear of living
And your stupid smile that drives away my sanity
I love the way you breathe...
How you throw your silly jokes that i can't sometimes get
Your incredible way of making me sorry for such a small thing and regret
And the freakin mojos that you use to make my heart melt
I love the way you breathe...
Those falling tears of agony as you clench your aching heart
Bravely thrown heartbreaking words
And your irritating presence is enough for me to realize that you're a breathtaking art
I love the way you breathe...
Every piece of you is astonishingly made
Your soul is drowning me as i tried to untangle each of your secrets
And your illuminating eyes are stealing my innocence
I just can't take it
You're just so amazingly worth it
That despite of being undeniably imperfect
I never get tired of admiring the air you breathe
