Blues until you lose.
Lose your mind, to roam.
Gravy Trains left the station.
Papa Doc is lying on the radio.
Gliding… Simply Gliding
Days are painfully slow.
Ageless, Tireless; try it some time.
A heart shaped pillbox to oblivion.
She died that same week.
Ugly uncle, knows how to fester.
Ugly lies, caught in my mind.
Hopeful for you.
My troublesome brother.
I've carried my share.
You haven't
If it wasn’t so devastatingly pathetic,
I would toast ahost to such a reprehensible reboast,
to your ability to escape all responsibility.
This defeats me.
Trust her to go.
I don’t blame the myriad of lies she told.
She simply scattered seeds.
hopeful, that one might eventually sprout truth.
Yet, I am left with my mind wavering on the point of a needle;
Frantic, I try and retrace moments of love and beauty.
But I'm lost. And this everything is slow.
I guess, a fish amounts to true beauty.
I picture an Alaskan Salmon,
Gamely struggling against an icy torrent in a murderously-cold stream.
I See the colour blue.
I Feel the winter cold.
Brainless hunting-gear clad inbreds walk close by, over a worn wooden bridge.
Towards their prey.
The fish beneath, is now stuck motionless in a losing battle against the tide.
Kids in a peppled cul-de-sac steal mail.
In years to come; they’ll wonder how they ever got along.
I walked for miles, daydreaming of space.
But ended the night alone.
The ocean calling my name.
Defeated, I cast my eyes out, over the midnight sea, suddenly calm,
The sea reflecting thousands of tiny lights,
lights, which have traveled all time and all expanse.
Beacons of hope.
And I called your name.
