Deceiving, this sweet golden light
this warm, rich sun
this orange sky
your face aglow like candlelight
we drink it up
we soak it in
the trees that burn
reveal it’s sin
One side ash
The other side gold
For no thing exists
That is not whole
Perfect sunsets drenching skies
Something’s born
Something dies
Something gnaws at me
a guitar pick on the same string
just plucking, plucking
a one track mind
get away from here
Sounds like a pretty good idea, actually
they say water on rock wears the rock away
but even water needs a break
I feel myself fading
amidst All This jaded-heaviness
verbal-vomit-readiness
hiding-behind-the-internet
Cowards and Fakes
it’s getting hard to take
hey
you
wanna run away with me?
let’s get lost in the wilderness
just for a little bit
a brief escape
out where guitar picks play at millions of strings
where there’s no one-track anything
and cool streams shock our bare feet
we can sit side by side
I’ll read you my poems and you’ll sing me your songs
And when it gets cold at night
Maybe you’ll slide your fingers in between mine
And I won’t mind
No
I won’t mind
I see
All the Wild Things in you
Do you see them in me
Dancing, screaming, shaking…living
Turbulent things
You think
You aren’t good enough for me
But I know you
I know your wild things
Let yourself be wild enough to know them too
There’s no hero without the villain
There’s no You without the Truth
Accept your sick, your dark, your stale
Only warriors inhale
So who are you…who will you be?
I believe
The ocean lives in each of us
Serene and deep and dangerous
Don’t stay safe in that slender stream
Flow on down and merge with me
I see
All the wild things in you
Do you see them in me
Let’s dance, then, and scream and shake
Love and live
Ride the dream
Turbulence…it ain’t no thang
Be my Warrior King
I’m your Warrior Queen
And This that Lives in each of us?
Just another Wild Thing
