One Eyed

I like ...
Certain aspects of craziness
Mad witches, howling at the moon
Wounded soldiers of love, smarting from their betrayals
The innocents, with all their priceless naivety
Nature's beauties, amidst so much savagery
Plain Janes and boring Freds, harming no-one but themselves
Old fashioned, one step after another, stoics to die for
The mediocre and unworthy, clean as fresh wishes
Sweet dreams and happy endings, with knights and maidens
Corny characters, saying clichéd things, in romantic stories
That peace I see, in people sleeping (snores included)
Arseholes like me, but less arrogant
The flawed and wanting to improve
Contemptuous believers, wielding symbolic swords
Flat doubters, searching for grounded truths
Ordinary souls, doing extraordinary things
Unpretentious nobodies, important beyond belief
Simple humans, just trying their best
Friends, despite everything and what others say
Kind words, when they don't come easily
A foot rub, for a leper or the unwashed
Respect, for lesser saints and sinners
Smiling, at our own ineptitudes and failings
The man who can't provide, and the woman who cannot keep
Life, for all its crazy highs and lows
